                  paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of such term if
                  such Event of Default is by or with respect to the Property

<PAGE>

                  of any such action on any particular Holder); provided,
                  however, that nothing in this Section 2.7(a)(ii) shall require
                  the Property Trustee to take any action that is not otherwise
                  required in this Trust Agreement.

         (b)      So long as this Trust Agreement remains in effect, the Issuer
Trust (or the Issuer Trustees or Administrators acting on behalf of the Issuer
Trust) shall not undertake any business, activities or transaction except as
expressly provided herein or contemplated hereby. In particular, neither the
Issuer Trustees nor the Administrators (in each case acting on behalf of the

mortgage, pledge, set-off or otherwise dispose of any of the Trust Property or

(iii) take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause the Issuer

that would result in the placement of a Lien on any of the Trust Property. The

         (c)      In connection with the issue and sale of the Capital

following (and any actions taken by the Depositor in furtherance of the
following prior to the date of this Trust Agreement are hereby ratified and
confirmed in all respects):

                  (i)      the preparation by the Issuer Trust of, and the
         execution and delivery of, a registration statement, and a prospectus
         in relation to the Capital Securities, including any amendments thereto
         and the taking of any action necessary or desirable to sell the Capital
         Securities in a transaction or a series of transactions subject to the
         registration requirements of the Securities Act;

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

                  (iii)    the negotiation of the terms of, and the execution

                  (iv)     the taking of any other actions necessary or
         desirable to carry out any of the foregoing activities; and

<PAGE>

                  (v)      compliance with the listing requirements of the
         Capital Securities upon such securities exchange or exchanges, or upon
         the Nasdaq National Market, as shall be determined by the Depositor,
         the registration of the Capital Securities under the Exchange Act, if
         required, and the preparation and filing of all periodic and other
         reports and other documents pursuant to the foregoing.

         (d)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Administrators and the Property Trustee are authorized and directed to conduct
the affairs of the Issuer Trust and to operate the Issuer Trust so that the
Issuer Trust will not be deemed to be an "investment company" required to be
registered under the Investment Company Act, and will not be taxable as a
corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for the United States
federal income tax purposes and so that the Junior Subordinated Debentures will
be treated as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax
purposes. In this connection, the Property Trustee, the Administrators and the
Holders of Common Securities are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent
with applicable law, the Certificate of Trust or this Trust Agreement, that the
Property Trustee, the Administrators and Holders of Common Securities determine
in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes, as long as
such action does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
the Holders of the Outstanding Capital Securities. In no event shall the
Administrators or the Issuer Trustees be liable to the Issuer Trust or the
Holders for any failure to comply with this section that results from a change
in law or regulations or in the interpretation thereof.

Section 2.8.      Assets of Trust.

         The assets of the Issuer Trust shall consist solely of the Trust
Property.

Section 2.9.      Title to Trust Property.

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

                                 PAYMENT ACCOUNT

Section 3.1.      Payment Account.

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

                                       19

<PAGE>

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

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

Section 4.1.      Distributions.

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

                  (i)      Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be
         cumulative and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the
         Issuer Trust available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions
         shall accumulate from [    ] [ ], [    ], and, except in the event (and
         to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right to defer the
         payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures pursuant to
         the Indenture, shall be payable [monthly] [quarterly] [semi-annually]
         in arrears on [    ] [ ] [    ] and [ ] of each year, commencing on
         [    ] [ ], [    ]. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise
         payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment
         of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a
         Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of any
         such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next
         succeeding calendar year, payment of such Distribution shall be made on
         the immediately preceding Business Day, in either case with the same
         force and effect as if made on the date on which such payment was
         originally payable (each date on which distributions are payable in
         accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a "Distribution Date").

                  (ii)     The Trust Securities shall be entitled to
         Distributions payable at a rate of [    ]% per annum of the Liquidation
         Amount of the Trust Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for
         any period less than a full Distribution period shall be computed on
         the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual
         number of days elapsed in a partial month in a period. Distributions
         payable for each full Distribution period will be computed by dividing
         the rate per annum by [twelve] [four] [two]. The amount of
         Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional
         Amounts in respect of such period.

                  (iii)    So long as no Debenture Event of Default has occurred
         and is continuing, the Depositor has the right under the Indenture to
         defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures at
         any time and from time to time for a period not exceeding [ ]
         consecutive [monthly] [quarterly] [semi-annual] periods (an "Extension

                                       20

<PAGE>

         Period"), provided that no Extension Period may extend beyond [    ]
         [ ], [    ]. As a consequence of any such deferral, quarterly
         Distributions on the Trust Securities by the Issuer Trust will also be
         deferred (and the amount of Distributions to which Holders of the Trust
         Securities are entitled will accumulate additional Distributions
         thereon at the rate per annum of [ ]% per annum, compounded [monthly]
         [quarterly] [semi-annually]) from the relevant payment date for such
         Distributions, computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
         months and the actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period.
         Additional Distributions payable for each full Distribution period will
         be computed by dividing the rate per annum by [twelve] [four] [two].
         The term "Distributions" as used in Section 4.1 shall include any such
         additional Distributions provided pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)(iii).

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

         (b)      Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a
Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the
Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the
relevant record date, which shall be at the close of business on the [ ] day of
[    ] [    ] [    ] or [     ] (whether or not a Business Day).

Section 4.2.      Redemption.

         (a)      On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity
of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Issuer Trust will be required to
redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

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

                  (i)      the Redemption Date;

                  (ii)     the Redemption Price, or if the Redemption Price
         cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be
         sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price provided pursuant to the
         Indenture together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the
         actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day
         prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further
         notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date, or as
         soon as practicable thereafter, that notice of such actual Redemption
         Price is received pursuant to the Indenture);

                  (iii)    the CUSIP number or CUSIP numbers of the Capital
         Securities affected;

                                       21

<PAGE>

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

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

                  (vi)     the place or places where Trust Securities are to be
         surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price.

         The Issuer Trust in issuing the Trust Securities shall use "CUSIP"
numbers, and the Property Trustee shall indicate the "CUSIP" numbers of the
Trust Securities in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience
to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Trust
Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related material.

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

         (d)      If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in
respect of any Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with
respect to Capital Securities held in global form, irrevocably deposit with the
Clearing Agency for such Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor,
funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such
Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities. With respect to Capital
Securities that are not held in global form, the Property Trustee, subject to
Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent
available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and
will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
Redemption Price to the Owners of the Capital Securities upon surrender of their
Capital Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions
payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for
redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they
appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant
record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall
have been given and funds deposited as required, then, upon the date of such
deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption
will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and
any Distributions payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the
Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to
be Outstanding. In the event that any date on which any applicable Redemption
Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the applicable
Redemption Price 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

                                       22

<PAGE>

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. In the event
that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called
for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the
Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement,
Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth
in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer
Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such applicable Redemption Price is
actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for
redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Redemption Price.

         (e)      Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding
Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the particular
Capital Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital
Securities not previously called for redemption in such a manner as the Property
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

Section 4.3.      Subordination of Common Securities.

         (a)      Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if
applicable) on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in
respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to
Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities
based on the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities; provided, however,
that if on any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Liquidation Date any Event
of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default in Section 5.1(a) or
5.1(b) of the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any
Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption Price of, or
Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any Common Security, and no other
payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common
Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and
unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding
Capital Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto,
or, in the case of payment of the Redemption Price, the full amount of such
Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then called for
redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full
amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Capital Securities,
shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the
Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all
Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of,
or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, Capital Securities then due and
payable. The existence of an Event of Default does not entitle the Holders of
Capital Securities to accelerate the maturity thereof.

         (b)      In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default
resulting from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of the Common
Securities shall be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any
such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effects of all such
Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived
or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust
Agreement with respect to the Capital Securities have been so cured, waived or
otherwise

                                       23

<PAGE>

eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of
the Capital Securities and not on behalf of the Holder of the Common Securities,
and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the
Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

Section 4.4.      Payment Procedures.

         Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect
of the Capital Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register
or, if the Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions
shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds, which will
credit the relevant accounts on the applicable Distribution Dates. Payments of
Distributions to Holders of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate Liquidation Amount
of Capital Securities may be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds upon written request of such Holder of Capital Securities to the
Securities Registrar not later than 15 calendar days prior to the date on which
the Distribution is payable. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall
be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee
and the Holder of the Common Securities.

Section 4.5.      Tax Returns and Reports.

         (a)      The Administrators shall prepare and file (or cause to be
prepared and filed), at the Depositor's expense, all United States federal,

Securities are Outstanding, the Administrators shall furnish to the Property
Trustee (or, if the Property Trustee is no longer acting as the Paying Agent,

Property Trustee (or, as appropriate, the Paying Agent) in order that the
Property Trustee (or, as appropriate, the Paying Agent) may prepare the
information which it is required to report for such year on Internal Revenue

Section 5.1.      Initial Ownership.

         Upon the creation of the Issuer Trust and the contribution by the
Depositor pursuant to Section 2.3 and until the issuance of the Trust
Securities, and at any time during which no Trust Securities are Outstanding,

Section 5.2.      The Trust Securities Certificates.

         (a)      The Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf
of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one
Administrator. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have
been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust, shall be validly
issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior
to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A
transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be
entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder,
upon due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee's
name pursuant to Section 5.5.

         (b)      Upon their original issuance, Capital Securities Certificates
shall be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Capital
Securities Certificates which will be deposited with or on behalf of Cede as the
Depositary's nominee and registered in the name of Cede as the Depositary's
nominee. Unless and until it is exchangeable in whole or in part for the Capital
Securities in definitive form, a global security may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of
the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee of
such successor.

Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common
Securities Certificate.

Section 5.3.      Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.

         At the Time of Delivery, an Administrator shall cause Trust Securities
Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and
2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust and delivered to the Property
Trustee and upon such delivery the Property Trustee shall authenticate such
Trust Securities Certificates and deliver such Trust Securities Certificates
upon the written order of the Trust, executed by an Administrator thereof,
without further corporate action by the Trust, in authorized denominations.

Section 5.4.      Global Capital Security.

         (a)      Any Global Capital Security issued under this Trust Agreement
shall be registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency and
delivered to such custodian therefor, and such Global Capital Security shall
constitute a single Capital Security for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

         (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, a
Global Capital Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for Capital
Securities registered, and no transfer of the Global Capital Security in whole
or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Clearing
Agency for such Global Capital Security, Cede or other nominee thereof unless
(i) such Clearing Agency advises the Depositor and the Issuer Trustees in
writing that such Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Clearing Agency with respect to such Global
Capital Security, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor
within 90 days of receipt of such notice from the Depositary, (ii) the Depositor
at its option advises the Depositary in writing that it elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (iii) there shall have
occurred and be continuing an Event of Default.

         (c)      If a Capital Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part
for a beneficial interest in a Global Capital Security, then either (i) such
Global Capital Security shall be so surrendered for exchange as provided in this
Article V or (ii) the Liquidation Amount thereof shall be reduced or increased
by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, or equal to the
Liquidation Amount of such other Capital Security to be so exchanged for a
beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate
adjustment made on the records of the Security Registrar, whereupon the Property
Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the
Clearing Agency or its authorized representative to make a corresponding
adjustment to its records. Upon any such adjustment of a Global Capital Security
by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Property
Trustee shall, subject to Section 5.4(b) and as otherwise provided in this
Article V, authenticate and deliver and an Administrator shall execute any
Capital Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Capital Security (or any
portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing

                                       26

<PAGE>

Agency. The Property Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in
relying on, such instructions.

         (d)      Every Capital Security Certificate executed, authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
Global Capital Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article
V or Article IV or otherwise, shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in
the form of, and shall be, a Global Capital Security Certificate, unless such
Global Capital Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the
Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Security or a nominee thereof.

         (e)      The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as the registered owner of
a Global Capital Security, shall be considered the Holder of the Capital
Securities represented by such Global Capital Security for all purposes under
this Trust Agreement and the Capital Securities, and Owners of beneficial
interests in such Global Capital Security shall hold such interests pursuant to
the Applicable Procedures and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall not be
entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Capital Securities in
definitive form and shall not be considered the Holders thereof under this Trust
Agreement. Accordingly, any such Owner's beneficial interest in the Global
Capital Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall
be effected only through, records maintained by the Clearing Agency or its
nominee. Neither the Property Trustee, the Securities Registrar nor the
Depositor shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the
Clearing Agency.

         (f)      The rights of Owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Capital Security shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall
be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners and
the Clearing Agency.

Section 5.5.      Registration of Transfer and Exchange Generally; Certain
                  Transfers and Exchanges; Capital Securities Certificates.

         (a)      The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept at its
Corporate Trust Office a register or registers for the purpose of registering
Trust Securities and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities in which the
registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Capital Securities (the
"Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities and Common
Securities (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of Common Securities) and
registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities as herein
provided. Such register is herein sometimes referred to as the "Securities
Register." The Property Trustee is hereby appointed "Securities Registrar" for
the purpose of registering Capital Securities and transfers of Capital
Securities as herein provided.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Security at
the offices or agencies of the Property Trustee designated for that purpose, an
Administrator shall execute and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Capital Securities Certificates representing Capital Securities of the same
series of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate Liquidation
Amount and bearing such legends as may be required by this Trust Agreement.

                                       27

<PAGE>

         At the option of the Holder, Capital Securities may be exchanged for
other Capital Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and
aggregate Liquidation Amount and bearing such legends as may be required by this
Trust Agreement, upon surrender of the Capital Securities to be exchanged at
such office or agency. Whenever any Capital Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Administrator shall execute and the Property Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver a Capital Securities Certificate representing the
Capital Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

         All Capital Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Capital
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer Trust, evidencing the
same interest, and entitled to the same benefits under this Trust Agreement, as
the Capital Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

         Every Capital Security presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Property Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Property Trustee and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.

         No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or
exchange of Capital Securities, but the Property Trustee may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities.

         Neither the Issuer Trust nor the Property Trustee shall be required,
pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (i) to issue, register the transfer
of, or exchange any Capital Security during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Capital
Securities pursuant to Article IV and ending at the close of business on the day
of mailing of the notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Capital Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except, in the case of any such Capital Security to be redeemed in part, any
portion thereof not to be redeemed.

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

                  (i)      Non-Global Capital Security to Non-Global Capital
         Security. A Trust Security that is not a Global Capital Security may be
         transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the
         form of another Trust Security that is not a Global Capital Security as
         provided in Section 5.5(a).

                  (ii)     Free Transferability. Subject to this Section 5.5,
         Capital Securities shall be freely transferable.

                                       28

<PAGE>

                  (iii)    Exchanges Between Global Capital Security and
         Non-Global Capital Security. A beneficial interest in a Global Capital
         Security may be exchanged for a Capital Security that is not a Global
         Capital Security as provided in Section 5.4(b).

Section 5.6.      Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities
                  Certificates.

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

Section 5.7.      Persons Deemed Holders.

         The Issuer Trustees, the Administrators, the Securities Registrar or
the Depositor shall treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities are
registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities for
the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and none of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators, the Securities Registrar
nor the Depositor shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 5.8.      Access to List of Holders' Names and Addresses.

         Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold
the Depositor, the Property Trustee, or the Administrators accountable by reason
of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which
such information was derived.

Section 5.9.      Maintenance of Office or Agency.

         The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the
Administrators, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an office or
offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities
Certificates may be served. The Property Trustee initially designates its [   ],
as its corporate trust office for such purposes. The Property Trustee shall give
prompt written notice to

                                       29

<PAGE>

the Depositor, the Administrators and the Holders of any change in the location
of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

Section 5.10.     Appointment of Paying Agent.

         The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment
Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property
Trustee and the Administrators. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power
to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for the purpose of making the
Distributions referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke such power and
remove any Paying Agent in its sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially
be the Property Trustee. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to
resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Administrators and
the Property Trustee. In the event that the Property Trustee shall no longer be
the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to
act be revoked, the Property Trustee shall appoint a successor (which shall be a
bank or trust company) that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrators to
act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent appointed by the Property
Trustee, or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrators, shall
execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor
Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees
that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent
will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for
the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to
such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property
Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return
all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections
8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Bank also in its role as Paying
Agent, for so long as the Bank shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent
applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this
Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent chosen by
the Property Trustee unless the context requires otherwise.

Section 5.11.     Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

         At each Time of Delivery, the Depositor shall acquire and retain
beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities except (a) in
connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another
corporation or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to
Section 8.1 of the Indenture, or (b) a transfer to an Affiliate of the Depositor
in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and applicable
state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted by law, any
other attempted transfer of the Common Securities shall be void. The
Administrators shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the
Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE
EXCEPT TO A SUCCESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE DEPOSITOR OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE
DEPOSITOR IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST
AGREEMENT."

Section 5.12.     Notices to Clearing Agency.

         To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Capital Securities are
represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate, the Administrators and
the Issuer Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified
herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the
Owners.

Section 5.13.     Rights of Holders.

         (a)      The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in
the Issuer Trust and shall be held and administered by the Property Trustee (in
its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not
have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in
the assets of the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they
shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits
or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities
shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein
and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or
similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the
purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Issuer
Trust. Subject to Section 4.8 hereof, the Holders of the Trust Securities, in
their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

         (b)      For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if,
upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails, or the holders
of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Junior Subordinated
Debentures fail, to declare the principal of all of the Junior Subordinated
Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least 25% in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall have such
right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee,
the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee.

         At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
the Junior Subordinated Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as
provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
the Capital Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor
and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if:

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

                           (A)      all overdue installments of interest on all
                  of the Junior Subordinated Debentures,

                           (B)      any accrued Additional Interest on all of
                  the Junior Subordinated Debentures,

                                       31

<PAGE>

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

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

                  (ii)     all Events of Default with respect to the Junior
         Subordinated Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of
         the Junior Subordinated Debentures which has become due solely by such
         acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of
         the Indenture.

         The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive
any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of
principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient
to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by
acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default in
respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Junior
Subordinated Debentures affected thereby. No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such
an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Capital
Securities all or part of which is represented by Global Capital Securities, a
record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Capital
Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the
close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The
Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such
Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such declaration
of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have
become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such
notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of
no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy
of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written
notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as
the case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has been canceled
pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record
date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.13(b).

         (c)      For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to
the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust
Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in
Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities
shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor,

                                       32

<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such
Holder of the principal amount of or interest on Junior Subordinated Debentures
having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount
of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a "Direct Action"). Except as set
forth in Sections 5.13(b) and 5.13(c) of this Trust Agreement, the Holders of
Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy
available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Junior Subordinated
Debentures.

                        ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

Section 6.1.      Limitations on Holder's Voting Rights.

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

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

         (c)      If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for,
or the Issuer Trust otherwise proposes to effect, (i) any action that would
adversely affect in any material respect the interests, powers, preferences or
special rights of the Capital Securities, whether by way of amendment to the
Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution of the Issuer

                                       33

Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the
Holders of Outstanding Trust Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on
such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a
result of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a
corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes.

Section 6.2.      Notice of Meetings.

         Notice of all meetings of the Holders, stating the time, place and
purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to
Section 10.8 to each Holder of record, at his registered address, at least 15
days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any
business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated
in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned
without further notice.

Section 6.3.      Meetings of Holders.

         (a)      No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The
Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of Holders to vote on any matter
upon the written request of the Holders of record of 25% of the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities and the Administrators or the
Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of Holders
of Capital Securities to vote on any matters as to which Holders are entitled to
vote.

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

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

Section 6.4.      Voting Rights.

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

Section 6.5.      Proxies, etc.

         At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote
by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall
have been placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such other officer
or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property

                                       34

<PAGE>

Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall
be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be
solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the
Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust
Securities are held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at any
meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more
than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and
such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be
cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A
proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed
valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving
invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three
years after its date of execution.

Section 6.6.      Holder Action by Written Consent.

         Any action which may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken
without a meeting if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount
of all Trust Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such
larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this
Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

Section 6.7.      Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

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

Section 6.8.      Acts of Holders.

         (a)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to
be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or
more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person
or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust
Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer
Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

         (b)      The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying

                                       35

<PAGE>

that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the
execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity
other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution
of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Issuer Trustee or
Administrator receiving the same deems sufficient.

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

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

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

         (f)      If any dispute shall arise among the Holders, the
Administrators or the Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity
or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent,
waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then
the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive
with respect to such matter.

Section 6.9.      Inspection of Records.

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

         The Depositor hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Holders that:

         (a)      the Trust Securities Certificates issued at the Time of
Delivery on behalf of the Issuer Trust have been duly authorized and will have
been duly and validly executed, and, subject to payment therefor, issued and

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                     THE ISSUER TRUSTEES; THE ADMINISTRATORS

Section 8.1.      Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

         (a)      The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees and the
Administrators shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of
the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Issuer Trustees or the
Administrators to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it or them. Whether or not
therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Issuer Trustees or the Administrators shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an
Administrator or the Issuer Trustees from liability for his or its own negligent
action, his or its own negligent failure to act, or his or its own willful
misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee or
Administrator has duties and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the
Holders, such Issuer Trustee or Administrator shall not be liable to the Issuer
Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer Trustee's or Administrator's good faith
reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust
Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the
Issuer Trustees and Administrators otherwise existing at law or in equity, are
agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and
liabilities of the Issuer Trustees and Administrators.

                                       38

<PAGE>

         (b)      All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in
respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient
revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a
Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder,
by his or its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that he or it will look
solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally
available for distribution to it or him as herein provided and that neither the
Issuer Trustees nor the Administrators are personally liable to it or him for
any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other
liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit
the liability of the Issuer Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust
Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

         (c)      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 Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee.
If an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant
to Section 5.13 of the Indenture), the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust
Agreement for the benefit of the Holders and shall exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care
and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

         (d)      No provision of this Trust Agreement 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 any 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 Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10),
                  and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the
                  performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
                  set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to
                  Section 10.10); 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 Trust Agreement; but in the case of
                  any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof
                  or of the Trust Indenture Act 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 Trust Agreement;

                                       39

<PAGE>

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

                  (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 at least a Majority in
         Liquidation Amount of the Capital 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 Trust Agreement;

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

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

                  (vi)     the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for
         monitoring the compliance by the Administrators or the Depositor with
         their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the
         Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other
         Issuer Trustee, the Administrators or the Depositor; and

                  (vii)    no provision of this Trust Agreement 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 the Property Trustee
         shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such
         funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of
         this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or
         liability is not reasonably assured to it.

         (e)      The Administrators shall not be responsible for monitoring the
compliance by the Issuer Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties
under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrator be liable for the
default or misconduct of any other Administrator, the Issuer Trustees or the
Depositor.

Section 8.2.      Certain Notices.

         (a)      Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the

Administrators, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

stated maturity to the Holders at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the

         The Depositor agrees:

         (a)      to pay to the Issuer Trustees from time to time reasonable

trustee of an express trust);

         (b)      to reimburse the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators upon
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Issuer Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement

scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Trust Agreement,
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

         The Depositor, any Administrator and any Issuer Trustee may engage in
or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description,

have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement in and to such independent

to the Issuer Trust, could be taken by the Issuer Trust, and the Depositor, any
Administrator or any Issuer 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 Issuer Trustee may
engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Depositor
or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or
agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other
obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates.

Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article. At the time of appointment, the Property Trustee must have securities

statistical rating organization.

         (b)      There shall at all times be one or more Administrators

of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 8.9.      Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

         Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at
any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the
Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Property may at the time be located, the Property Trustee shall have power to
appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor and
the Administrators shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the
execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary
or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee
either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any
part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate
trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided

capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or
desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. Any co-trustee or
separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a
natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United
States or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United
States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such
entity.

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

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

         (a)      The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more
Administrators, and the Trust Securities shall be executed and delivered and all
rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of
securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustees specified hereunder, shall be
exercised, solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate
trustee.

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

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

Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

         (b)      Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant
Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders.
The Relevant Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three
Persons meeting the eligibility requirements its expenses and charges to serve
as the successor Issuer Trustee on a form provided by the Administrators, and
selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges, subject to
the prior consent of the Depositor which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee
required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee
within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant
Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer Trust, any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee.

         (c)      The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be removed at
any time by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
the Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual
capacity and on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause or (ii) if a Debenture
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at any time.

         (d)      If a resigning Relevant Trustee shall fail to appoint a
successor, or if a Relevant Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of
acting as Issuer Trustee, or if any vacancy shall occur in the office of any
Issuer Trustee for any cause, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of
the Holders of record of not less than 25% aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Capital

appoint a successor Issuer Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Issuer
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no
successor Issuer Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of the
Capital Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section
8.11, any Holder, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, or any
other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court in the State of Delaware for the
appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee.

         (e)      The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and
each removal of a Relevant Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer
Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give
notice to the Depositor and to the Administrators. Each notice shall include the
name of the Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it
is the Property Trustee.

         (f)      Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, in the event any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies
or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent
or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity
may be filled by the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding
expenses and charges set forth above (with the successor in each case being a
Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Delaware Trustee set forth
in Section 8.7).

and which shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to
transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Issuer Trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust, and upon the execution and delivery of
such instrument the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee
shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor
Issuer Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the Relevant Trustee; but, on
request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Trustee such Relevant Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Issuer Trustee all Trust
Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such Relevant Trustee hereunder
with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust.

         (b)      Upon request of any such successor Issuer Trustee, the Issuer
Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting
in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts
referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

         (c)      No successor Issuer Trustee shall accept its appointment
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Issuer Trustee shall be

resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all

Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor, the
Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on the Trust
Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether the
Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer Trust for the payment
of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or compensation affecting
the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or

                                       48

Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address
appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of liquidation shall:

                  (i)      state the Liquidation Date;

                  (ii)     state that, from and after the Liquidation Date, the
         Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any
         Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be
         deemed to represent a Like Amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures;
         and

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

         (b)      Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to
effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Junior
Subordinated Debentures to Holders, the Property Trustee shall establish a
record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to
the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the
appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it
shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Junior Subordinated
Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.

         (c)      Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the
Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding, (ii) the Clearing Agency for the

                                       52

<PAGE>

Capital Securities or its nominee, as the registered Holder of the Global
Capital Securities Certificate, shall receive a registered global certificate or
certificates representing the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be delivered
upon such distribution with respect to Capital Securities held by the Clearing
Agency or its nominee, and (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not held by
the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities or its nominee as specified in
clause (ii) above will be deemed to represent Junior Subordinated Debentures
having a principal amount equal to the stated Liquidation Amount of the Trust
Securities represented thereby and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an
amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust
Securities until such certificates are presented to the Securities Registrar for
transfer or reissuance.

         (d)      If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4,
whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debentures is
not practical, or if any Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (c) of
Section 9.2 occurs, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust
shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property
Trustee determines in accordance with the instruction of a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities. In such event, on the date of the
dissolution of the Issuer Trust, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by
applicable law, an amount equal to the aggregate of the Liquidation Amount per
Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of
payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such
dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the
Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate
Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the
amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a
pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common
Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such
liquidation pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Capital
Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common
Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

         (e)      Following the dissolution of the Issuer Trust and after the
completion of the winding up of the affairs of the Issuer Trust, the Property
Trustee shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Delaware Secretary of
State.

Section 9.5.      Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of the
Issuer Trust.

         The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate,
or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to, any entity, except pursuant to this Section 9.5
and Section 9.4. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, and
with the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
the Capital Securities but without the consent of the Delaware Trustee or the
Property Trustee, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into, consolidate,
amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws
of any State; provided, however, that (a) such successor entity either

                                       53

<PAGE>

(i) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to
the Capital Securities or (ii) substitutes for the Capital Securities other
securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (the
"Successor Capital Securities") so long as the Successor Capital Securities have
the same priority as the Capital Securities with respect to distributions and
payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (b) a trustee of such
successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee
is appointed to hold the Junior Subordinated Debentures, (c) such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not
cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities) to be
downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization if the
Capital Securities were rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, (d) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Capital
Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities) in any material respect,
(e) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the
Issuer Trust, (f) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Issuer Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel from independent counsel experienced in such matters to the
effect that (i) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights preferences
and privileges of the holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor
Capital Securities) in any material respect, and (ii) following such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither
the Issuer Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act, and (g) the Depositor or
any permitted transferee to whom it has transferred the Common Securities
hereunder owns all of the common securities of such successor entity and
guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor
Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the
consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor
entity to be taxable as a corporation or as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes. Any merger or similar agreement shall
be executed by the Administrators on behalf of the Issuer Trust.

         (a)      This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Property Trustee and the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Common Securities, without the consent of any Holder of the Capital Securities,
(i) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein which may
be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement,
provided, however, that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Holder or (ii) to modify, eliminate or add
to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary
to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be taxable as a corporation or
classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes at any time that any Trust Securities are Outstanding or to ensure that
the Issuer Trust will not be required to register as an "investment company"
under the Investment Company Act.

         (b)      Except as provided in Section 10.2(c) hereof, any provision of
this Trust Agreement may be amended by the Property Trustee and the Holders of a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities with (i) the consent of
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities
and (ii) receipt by the Issuer Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Issuer Trustees
in accordance with such amendment will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable
as a corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States federal
income tax purposes or affect the Issuer Trust's exemption from status of an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act.

         (c)      In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
Trust Agreement, without the consent of each affected Holder (such consent being
obtained in accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this Trust Agreement may
not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution on the
Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution
required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified date or
(ii) restrict the right of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such date.

         (d)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement,
no Issuer Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust
Agreement which would cause the Issuer Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the
exemption from status as an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act or be taxable as a corporation or be classified as other than a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

         (e)      Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the
contrary, without the consent of the Depositor, the Delaware Trustee and the
Administrators, this Trust Agreement may not be amended in a manner which
imposes any additional obligation on the Depositor, the Delaware Trustee or the
Administrators.

made, the Administrators or the Property Trustee shall promptly provide to the
Depositor a copy of such amendment.

         (g)      Neither the Property Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be
required to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement which affects its
own rights, duties or immunities under this Trust Agreement. The Property
Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers'
Certificate stating that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is in compliance
with this Trust Agreement.

         (h)      Any amendments to this Trust Agreement shall become effective
when notice of such amendment is given to the Holders of the Trust Securities.

Section 10.3.     Separability.

         In case any provision in this Trust Agreement or in the Trust

any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.5.     Payments Due on Non-Business Day.

control; (iii) for purposes of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee, to

         M&T Capital Trust [IV] [V] [VI], a statutory trust created under the
