      immediately preceding Business Day, in each 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").

      and December, as applicable, plus 12.5 basis points on the liquidation
      amount of each Trust Security ("Floating Rate"). If more than one rate is
      so indicated in The Wall Street Journal, the prime rate shall equal the
      highest rate provided therein. The amount of Distributions payable for any
      full quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
      twelve 30-day months. The amount of Distributions for any period less than
      a full quarter shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the
      actual number of days elapsed during that period. 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 20 consecutive
      quarterly periods (an "Extension Period"), provided that no Extension
      Period may extend beyond June 30, 2034, or end on a date that is not a
      scheduled interest payment date. 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 Floating Rate, compounded quarterly, to the extent
      permitted by applicable law, from the relevant payment date for such
      Distributions, computed in the same manner as set forth for Distributions
      in subsection 4.1(a)(ii) immediately above. 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 fifteenth
day of the month in which the relevant Distribution Date occurs (or if such date
is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding 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 Securities Register. All notices of
redemption shall state:

                  (i)   the Redemption Date;

                  (ii)  the Redemption Price, or if the Redemption Price cannot
      be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the
      estimate of the Redemption Price provided pursuant to the Indenture
      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;

                  (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 may use "CUSIP" or
"private placement" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property
Trustee shall indicate the "CUSIP" or "private placement" 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

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

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 Issuer Trust gives a notice of redemption in respect of
any Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, Eastern 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, if any, 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 Holders of the Capital Securities upon surrender of their Capital
Securities Certificates or Restricted Securities Certificates, as applicable.
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 Distribution
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 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, Distributions on such Trust Securities will
continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1 and in accordance with the
continued accrual of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, 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 aggregate
Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated
pro rata to the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the
relative aggregate Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Capital
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based on their
respective Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not
previously called for redemption, or if the Capital Securities are then held in
the form of a Global Preferred Security in accordance with the

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

customary procedures for the Clearing Agency. The Property Trustee shall
promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of Capital Securities to be redeemed and the particular Capital
Securities selected for redemption. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement,
unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption
of Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital Securities
redeemed, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital
Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.

            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, as set forth in
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 or Redemption Date any Event of Default
resulting from a Debenture Event of Default in Sections 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) 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 eliminated, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

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 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.

            The Administrators shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the
Depositor's expense, and file all United States federal, state and local tax and
information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the
Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrators shall (a) prepare and file (or
cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service forms required to
be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust
and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each
Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided by the Issuer
Trust. The Administrators shall provide the Depositor and the Property Trustee
with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or
furnishing. The Issuer Trustees shall comply with United States Federal
withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting
requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities.

            On or before December 15 of each year during which any Capital
Securities are Outstanding, the Administrators shall furnish to the Paying Agent
such information as may be reasonably requested by the Property Trustee in order
that the Property Trustee may prepare the information which it is required to
report for such year on Internal Revenue Service Forms 1096 and 1099 pursuant to
Section 6049 of the Code. Such information shall include the amount of original
issue discount includable in income for each Outstanding Capital Security during
such year, if any.

            SECTION 4.6. PAYMENT OF TAXES, DUTIES, ETC. OF THE ISSUER TRUST.

            Upon receipt under the Junior Subordinated Debentures of Additional
Sums, the Property Trustee shall promptly pay any taxes, duties or governmental
charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the
Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority out of the
proceeds of the Additional Sums.

            SECTION 4.7. PAYMENTS UNDER INDENTURE OR PURSUANT TO DIRECT ACTIONS.

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

            SECTION 4.8. LIABILITY OF THE HOLDER OF COMMON SECURITIES.

            The Holder of Common Securities shall be liable for the debts and
obligations of the Issuer Trust as set forth in Section 6.7 of the Indenture
regarding allocation of expenses.

                          TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES

            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,
the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Issuer Trust.

            SECTION 5.2. THE TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

            (a)   The Trust Securities Certificates shall be issued in fully
registered form. 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 Global Capital Securities
Certificates which initially shall bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend,
registered in the name of Cede as the Depositary's nominee and deposited with or
on behalf of Depositary for credit by Depositary to the respective accounts of
the Owners thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct). Except as set
forth herein, record ownership of the Global Capital Securities may be
transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of Depositary or to a
successor of the Depository or its nominee.

            (c)   A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common
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 Closing, an Administrator shall execute, on behalf of the
Trust, Trust Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as
provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, and deliver such Trust Securities Certificates
to the Property Trustee for authentication. Upon such delivery, the Property
Trustee shall authenticate such Trust Securities Certificates and deliver such
Trust Securities Certificates in authorized denominations upon the written order
of the Trust, executed by an Administrator thereof, without further corporate
action by the Depositor.

            SECTION 5.4. GLOBAL CAPITAL SECURITIES.

            (a)   The Global Capital Security issued under this Trust Agreement
shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as 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, and it shall initially bear a Restricted Capital Securities
Legend.

            (b)   Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement,
the Global Capital Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for
registered Capital Securities, 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 & Co., or other nominee
thereof unless: (i) such Clearing Agency advises the Depositor and the Property
Trustee in writing that such Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as the Clearing Agency with respect to
such Global Capital Security, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor within 90 days, (ii) at any time the Depositary ceases to be a
Clearing Agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, or (iii) the Issuer
Trust at its option advises the Depositary in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency.

            (c)   If the Global Capital Security is to be exchanged or canceled
in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Clearing Agency or its
nominee to the Securities Registrar for exchange or cancellation as provided in
this Article V. If the Global Capital Security is to be exchanged or canceled in
part, or if another Capital Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for
a beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security, then either: (i) such
Global Capital Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation 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 canceled 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 Securities
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 surrender or
adjustment of the 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 any
Capital Securities or Restricted Capital Securities, as applicable and as
instructed by the Administrators, issuable in exchange for such Global Capital
Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing 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 or Restricted Capital Security
authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange
for or in lieu of, the Global Capital Security or any portion thereof, whether
pursuant to this Article V or Article IV or otherwise, shall be authenticated
and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Capital Security,

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

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
the Global Capital Security, shall be considered the Holder of the Capital
Securities or the Restricted Capital Securities represented by the Global
Capital Security for all purposes under this Trust Agreement and the Capital
Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Capital Security
shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures and, except as
otherwise provided herein, shall not be entitled to have any of the individual
Capital Securities or the Restricted Capital Securities represented by the
Global Capital Security registered in their names, shall not receive nor be
entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Capital Securities or the
Restricted 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 nor the
Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers
effected by the Clearing Agency.

            (f)   The rights of owners of beneficial interests in the 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; SECURITIES ACT
LEGENDS.

            (a)   The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept at its
Corporate Trust Office a register or registers (the "Securities Register") for
the purpose of registering Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates and
Common Securities Certificates and acting as the registrar and transfer agent
with respect to the Capital Securities and Common Securities Certificates (the
"Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, and shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities
Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the
case of Common Securities Certificates) in the Securities Register. The Property
Trustee is hereby appointed Securities Registrar. The Securities Registrar shall
maintain stop transfer instructions in the Securities Register and as it
otherwise deems appropriate to restrict the transfer of Restricted Capital
Securities consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

            Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital
Securities Certificate at the offices or agencies of the Property Trustee
designated for that purpose, the Administrators 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 of the same
series of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount and bearing such restrictive legends (including the Restricted Capital
Securities Legend) as may be required by this Trust Agreement.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

            At the option of the Holder, Capital Securities Certificates may be
exchanged for other Capital Securities Certificates of any authorized
denominations, of like tenor and aggregate Liquidation Amount and bearing such
restrictive legends (including the Restricted Capital Securities Legend) as may
be required by this Trust Agreement, upon surrender of the Capital Securities
Certificates to be exchanged at such office or agency of the Property Trustee.
Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Administrators
shall execute and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the
Capital Securities Certificates 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 obligations, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Trust Agreement, as the Capital Securities surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange.

            Every Capital Securities Certificate 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 Certificates, 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 Certificates.

            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 Securities Certificates during a period beginning at
the opening of 15 Business 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. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Trust Agreement, transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities
and beneficial interests in a Global Capital Security shall be made only in
accordance with this Section 5.5(b).

                  (i)   Non-Global Restricted Capital Security to Global Capital
            Security. If the Holder of a Restricted Capital Security (other than
            the Global Capital Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or
            any portion of such Restricted Capital Security to a Person who
            wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest
            in the Global Capital Security, such transfer may be effected only
            in accordance with the provisions of this clause (b)(i) and subject
            to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Securities
            Registrar of (A) such Restricted Capital Security as provided in
            Section 5.5(a) and instructions satisfactory to the Securities
            Registrar directing that a beneficial interest in the

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

            Global Capital Security in a specified Liquidation Amount not
            greater than the Liquidation Amount of such Restricted Capital
            Security to be credited to a specified Clearing Agency Participant's
            account, and (B) a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed
            for transfer by such Holder or such Holder's attorney duly
            authorized in writing, then the Securities Registrar shall cancel
            such Restricted Capital Security (and issue a new Restricted Capital
            Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as
            provided in Section 5.5(a) and increase the aggregate Liquidation
            Amount of the Global Capital Security by the specified Liquidation
            Amount as provided in Section 5.4(c).

                  (ii)  Non-Global Capital Security to Non-Global Capital
            Security. A Capital 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 Capital Security that is not a
            Global Capital Security as provided in Section 5.5(a), provided that
            if the Capital Security to be transferred in whole or in part is a
            Restricted Capital Security, the Securities Registrar shall have
            received a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed by the
            transferor Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
            writing and the Securities Registrar shall only be required to
            register the transfer of such Restricted Securities Certificate upon
            direction from the Depositor that such transfer is permissible.

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

                  (iv)  Certain Initial Transfers of Non-Global Capital
            Securities. In the case of Capital Securities initially issued other
            than in global form, an initial transfer or exchange of such Capital
            Securities that does not involve any change in beneficial ownership
            may be made to an institutional accredited investor or investors as
            if such transfer or exchange were not an initial transfer or
            exchange; provided that written certification shall be provided by
            the transferee and transferor of such Capital Securities to the
            Securities Registrar that such transfer or exchange does not involve
            a change in beneficial ownership.

                  (v)   Limitations Relating to Principal Amount.
            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement and
            unless otherwise specified as permitted by this Trust Agreement,
            Capital Securities or portions thereof may be transferred or
            exchanged only in principal amounts of not less than $50,000.00. Any
            transfer, exchange or other disposition of Capital Securities in
            contravention of this Section 5.5(b)(v) shall be deemed to be void
            and of no legal effect whatsoever, any such transferee shall be
            deemed not to be the Holder or owner of any beneficial interest in
            such Capital Securities for any purpose, including but not limited
            to the receipt of interest payable on such Capital

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

            Securities, such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest
            whatsoever in such Capital Securities, and the Securities Registrar
            shall not record any such transfer in the Securities Register.

            (c)   Restricted Securities Legend. Except as set forth below, all
Capital Securities shall bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend:

                  (i)   subject to the following Clauses of this Section 5.5(c),
            a Capital Security or any portion thereof that is exchanged, upon
            transfer or otherwise, for a Global Capital Security or any portion
            thereof shall bear the Restricted Capital Securities Legend while
            represented thereby;

                  (ii)  subject to the following Clauses of this Section 5.5(c),
            a new Capital Security which is not a Global Capital Security and is
            issued in exchange for another Capital Security (including a Global
            Capital Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or
            otherwise, shall, if such new Capital Security is required to be
            issued in the form of a Restricted Capital Security, bear a
            Restricted Capital Securities Legend;

                  (iii) a new Capital Security (other than a Global Capital
            Security) that does not bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend
            may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Restricted Capital
            Security or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if, in the
            Depositor's judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Capital
            Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements
            of the Securities Act and is permissible under Commission Rule
            144(k), and the Property Trustee, at the written direction of the
            Administrator of the Issuer Trust in the form of an Officers'
            Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver such new Capital
            Security as provided in this Article V;

                  (iv)  notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
            5.5(c), a Successor Capital Security of a Capital Security that does
            not bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend shall not bear such
            form of legend, unless the Depositor has reasonable cause to believe
            that such Successor Capital Security is a "restricted security"
            within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in which
            case the Property Trustee, at the written direction of any
            Administrator of the Issuer Trust in the form of an Officers'
            Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver a new Capital Security
            bearing a Restricted Capital Securities Legend in exchange for such
            Successor Capital Security as provided in this Article V; and

                  (v)   Junior Subordinated Debentures distributed to a holder
            of Capital Securities upon dissolution of the Issuer Trust shall
            bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend, if the Capital
            Securities bear a similar legend, absent instructions from the
            Depositor that such legend can be removed consistent with the
            requirements of the Securities Act, and Commission Rule 144
            thereunder.

            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, indemnity and/or other assurance
as may be required by them, in their discretion, 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, 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 5.6 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 and the Securities Registrar shall treat the
Person in whose name any Trust Securities are issued as the sole 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 or the
Securities Registrar 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
Corporate Trust Office as its corporate trust office for such purposes. The
Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the
Administrators and to the Holders of any change in the location of the
Securities Register or any such office or agency.

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

            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 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 Closing, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and
record ownership of the Common Securities. Neither the Depositor nor any
successor Holder of the Common Securities may transfer less than all the Common
Securities, and the Depositor or any such successor Holder may transfer the
Common Securities only (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the
Depositor into another Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the
Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture, or (ii) to an Affiliate of the
Depositor in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and
applicable state securities and blue sky laws); provided that any such transfer
shall be subject to the condition that the transferor shall have obtained (A)
either a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an unqualified written
Opinion of Counsel by a firm experienced in such matters addressed to the Issuer
Trust and delivered to the Issuer Trustees to the effect that such transfer will
not (1) cause the Issuer Trust to be treated as issuing a class of interests in
the Issuer Trust differing from the class of interests represented by the Common
Securities originally issued to the Depositor, (2) result in the Issuer Trust
acquiring or disposing of, or being deemed to have acquired or disposed of, an
asset, or (3) result in or cause the Issuer Trust to be treated as anything
other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes and (B)
an unqualified written Opinion of Counsel by a firm experienced in such matters
addressed to the Issuer Trust and delivered to the Issuer Trustees to

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

the effect that such transfer will not cause the Issuer Trust to be an
"investment company" or controlled by an "investment company" that is required
to be registered under the Investment Company Act. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities, other than as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be void. The
Administrators shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the
Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE
EXCEPT 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, with respect to Capital Securities
represented by Global Capital Securities Certificates, 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 give
such notice or other communication to the Owners.

            SECTION 5.13. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS.

            (a)   The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in
the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.10,
and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the
undivided beneficial ownership 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, as provided
herein, will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Issuer Trust. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 4.8, 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 Laws of the State of Delaware.

            (b)   For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if,
upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if:

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

                  (i)   the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Indenture
      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,

                        (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 any Additional
            Interest thereon at the rate borne by the Junior Subordinated
            Debentures, and

                        (D)   all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee
            under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
            disbursements and advances of the Indenture 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 that has become due solely by such
      acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the
      Indenture.

            If the Property Trustee fails to annul any such declaration and
waive such default, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
the Capital Securities shall also have the right to rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Depositor, the
Property Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.13(b).

            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 Indenture 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 Debenture. 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 the Global Capital
Securities Certificate, 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

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

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(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities
shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor,
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), 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.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                        ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

            SECTION 6.1. LIMITATIONS ON HOLDERS' 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 Indenture Trustee, or execute any trust or power
conferred on the Property 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

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

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 Trustee 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 other than as 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, winding-up or termination
of the Issuer 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 other than as 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.

            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.

            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 the Capital Securities.

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

            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 $50,000.00 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 at such
meeting 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 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 that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken
without a meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of all 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 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

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

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.

            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 an "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.

            The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than 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.

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

            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.

            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.

            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

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

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.

                                  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. Whether or not herein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the 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 an Issuer Trustee from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act, 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.

            (b)   All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in
respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient
revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a
Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder,
by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the
revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
distribution to it as herein provided and that neither the Issuer Trustees nor
the Administrators are personally liable to it for any amount distributable in
respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust
Security. This Section 8.1(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

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

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;

                  (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

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

      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 any 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
Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders and the
Administrators, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

            (b)   Within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the
Depositor's exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of
such exercise to the Holders and the Administrators, unless such exercise shall
have been revoked.

            SECTION 8.3. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

            Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

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

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

            (b)   any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this
Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate;

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

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

            (e)   the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request
or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such
Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided that
nothing contained in this Section 8.3(e) shall be taken to relieve the Property
Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to
exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement;

            (f)   the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper
or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but
the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit;

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

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

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

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

            No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any
duty or obligation on any Issuer Trustee or Administrator to perform any act or
acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on
it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property
Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law,
to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or
obligation. No permissive power or authority available to any Issuer Trustee or
Administrator shall be construed to be a duty.

            SECTION 8.4. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

            The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities
Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer Trust, and neither
the Issuer Trustees nor the Administrators assume any responsibility for their
correctness. The Issuer Trustees and the Administrators shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Junior
Subordinated Debentures.

            SECTION 8.5. MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

            The Depositor, the Administrators, any Issuer Trustee or any other
agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to
Sections 5.5(c), 8.8 and 8.13 and except as provided in the definition of the
term "Outstanding" in Article I, may otherwise deal with the Issuer Trust with
the same rights it would have if it were not the Depositor, an Administrator,
Issuer Trustee or such other agent.

            SECTION 8.6. COMPENSATION; INDEMNITY; FEES.

            The Depositor agrees:

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

            (b)   to reimburse the Issuer Trustees 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 (including the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to their
negligence or willful misconduct; and

            (c)   to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to
indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee, (ii) each Administrator,
(iii) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee, (iv) any officer, director,
shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any Issuer Trustee,

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

and (v) any employee or agent of the Issuer Trust, (referred to herein as an
"Indemnified Person") from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax,
penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such
Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with the creation, operation
or dissolution of the Issuer Trust or any act or omission performed or omitted
by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Issuer Trust and in a
manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the 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
negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

            The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of
this Trust Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Indemnified Persons.

            The obligation of the Depositor under this Section 8.6 to
compensate, reimburse and indemnify the Issuer Trustees shall be secured by a
Lien upon all Trust Property (except funds held in trust for the benefit of
Holders of particular Trust Securities), but only to the extent of the interest
of the Holder of the Common Securities therein.

            The Depositor, any Administrator and any Issuer Trustee may engage
in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or
description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business
of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities
shall have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement in and to such
independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit
of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust,
shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Neither the Depositor, any
Administrator, nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any
particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such
opportunity is of a character that, if presented 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.

            SECTION 8.7. CORPORATE PROPERTY TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY OF
TRUSTEES AND ADMINISTRATORS.

            (a)   There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is
a national or state chartered bank and eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture
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 VIII. At the time of appointment,

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

the Property Trustee must have securities rated in one of the three highest
rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

            (b)   There shall at all times be one or more Administrators
hereunder. Each Administrator shall be either a natural person who is at least
21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more persons
authorized to bind that entity. An employee, officer or Affiliate of the
Depositor may serve as an Administrator.

            (c)   There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee. The Delaware
Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and
a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity with its principal
place of business in the State of Delaware and that otherwise meets the
requirements of applicable Delaware law that shall act through one or more
persons authorized to bind such entity.

            SECTION 8.8. CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

            (a)   If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting
interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee
shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner
provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this
Trust Agreement.

            (b)   The Guarantee and the Indenture shall be deemed to be
sufficiently described in this Trust Agreement for the purposes of clause (i) 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
in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the
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

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

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 authenticated and delivered by
the Property Trustee 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 Trustee 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.

            (c)   The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing
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 8.9.

            (d)   No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or
any other trustee hereunder.

            (e)   The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act
of a co-trustee or separate trustee.

            (f)   Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be
deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

            SECTION 8.10. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

            No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the "Relevant
Trustee") and no appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Article
shall become effective until the

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

            Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee
may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders. The
Holder of the Common Securities shall appoint a successor by requesting from at
least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements such Persons' expenses
and charges to serve as the successor trustee on a form provided by the
Administrators, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and
charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor 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 the State of Delaware
for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

            The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be removed at any
time (i) for cause (including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in subparagraph (5) of the definition thereof with respect to the
Relevant Trustee) by the Holder of the Common Securities, or (ii) if a Debenture
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing 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).

            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 Holder of the Common Securities shall promptly
appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Issuer
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11, provided,
however, if a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
at such time, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of
record of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities then Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, shall appoint
such successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by
the Holder of the Common Securities or the Holders of the Capital Securities, as
applicable, or shall not have accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 8.11 hereof, 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 trustee.

            The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of a Relevant Trustee and each appointment of a successor 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.

            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 Holder 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

                                      -48-
<PAGE>

a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirements for the Delaware Trustee, as
the case may be, set forth in Section 8.7).

            SECTION 8.11. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

            In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant
Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each such successor Relevant Trustee
(if requested by the Depositor) with respect to the Trust Securities shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor
Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and
the Issuer Trust, and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such
Relevant Trustee a co-trustee, and upon the execution and delivery of such
amendment, the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but,
on request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring
Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such
retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Issuer Trust.

            Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Issuer
Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting
in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph.

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

            SECTION 8.12. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO
BUSINESS.

            Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all
the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of
such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article VIII, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

            SECTION 8.13. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST DEPOSITOR OR
ISSUER TRUST.

            If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of
the Depositor (or any other obligor upon the Trust Securities), the Property
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding
the collection of claims against the Depositor (or any such other obligor) only
if this Trust Agreement is subject to the Trust Indenture Act.

            SECTION 8.14. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

            In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial
proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust
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:

            (a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any
Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file
such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its
agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

            (b)   to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall
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 contained herein 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 to authorize the
Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

            SECTION 8.15. REPORTS BY PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

            (a)   Not later than January 31 of each year commencing with January
31, 2005, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Holders in accordance with
Section 10.8, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of the immediately
preceding December 31 with respect to:

                                      -50-
<PAGE>

                  (i)   its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof,
      if to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said
      Section, a written statement to such effect; and

                  (ii)  any change in the property and funds in its possession
      as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken
      by the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which
      it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects
      the Trust Securities.

            (b)   In addition the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders
such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust
Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times
and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

            (c)   A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with the Depositor.

            SECTION 8.16. REPORTS TO THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

            The Depositor and the Administrators on behalf of the Issuer Trust
shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as
required or specified by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any and to
the extent applicable) and the compliance certificate required or specified by
Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form, in the manner and at the
times set forth in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. The Depositor and the
Administrators shall annually file with the Property Trustee a certificate
specifying whether such Person is in compliance with all the terms and covenants
applicable to such Person hereunder.

            SECTION 8.17. EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

            Each of the Depositor and the Administrators on behalf of the Issuer
Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate
to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act.
Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to
Section 314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an
Officers' Certificate.

            SECTION 8.18. NUMBER OF ISSUER TRUSTEES.

            (a)   The number of Issuer Trustees shall be two; provided, however,
the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person, in which
case, the number of Issuer Trustees may be one.

            (b)   If an Issuer Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason, a
vacancy shall occur. The vacancy shall be filled with an Issuer Trustee
appointed in accordance with Section 8.10.

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

            (c)   The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of an Issuer Trustee shall not
operate to dissolve, terminate or annul the Issuer Trust or terminate this Trust
Agreement.

            SECTION 8.19. DELEGATION OF POWER.

            (a)   Any Administrator may, by power of attorney consistent with
applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or
her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section
2.8(a) or making any governmental filing; and

            (b)   The Administrators shall have power to delegate from time to
time to such of their number the doing of such things and the execution of such
instruments either in the name of the Issuer Trust or the names of the
Administrators or otherwise as the Administrators may deem expedient, to the
extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the
provisions of this Trust Agreement.

            SECTION 8.20. APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATORS.

            (a)   The Administrators shall be appointed by the Holder of the
Common Securities and may be removed by the Holder of the Common Securities or
may resign at any time. Upon any resignation or removal, the Holder of the
Common Securities shall appoint a successor Administrator. Each Administrator
shall execute this Trust Agreement thereby agreeing to comply with, and be
legally bound by, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Trust
Agreement. If at any time there is no Administrator, the Property Trustee or any
Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Securities for at least six months may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of one or more
Administrators.

            (b)   Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrators shall
occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrator in
accordance with this Section 8.20, the Administrators in office, regardless of
their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), shall
have all the powers granted to the Administrators and shall discharge all the
duties imposed upon the Administrators by this Trust Agreement.

            (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, in the event any Administrator who is a natural person dies or
becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of the Common Securities, incompetent, or
incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may
be filled by the Holder of the Common Securities (with the successor being a
Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrators, as the case
may be, set forth in Section 8.7).

            Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, or by
applicable law, any one Administrator may execute any document or otherwise take
any action that the Administrators are authorized to take under this Trust
Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                       DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

            SECTION 9.1. DISSOLUTION UPON EXPIRATION DATE.

            Unless earlier dissolved, the Issuer Trust shall automatically
dissolve on June 30, 2035 (the "Expiration Date"), and thereafter the Trust
Property shall be distributed in accordance with Section 9.4.

            SECTION 9.2. EARLY DISSOLUTION.

            The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early
Termination Event," upon the occurrence of which the Issuer Trust shall
dissolve:

            (a)   the occurrence of the appointment of a receiver or other
similar official in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with
respect to the Depositor or all or substantially all of its property, or entry
by a court or other governmental agency of a decree or order and such decree or
order shall remain unstayed and undischarged for a period of 60 days, unless the
Depositor shall transfer the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.11, in
which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of
the Common Securities;

            (b)   the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holder
of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust and, after
paying or making reasonable provision to pay all charges and obligations of the
Issuer Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust
Act, to distribute the Junior Subordinated Debentures to Holders in exchange for
the Trust Securities (which direction, subject to Section 9.4(a), is optional
and wholly within the discretion of the Holder of the Common Securities);

            (c)   the repayment of all of the Capital Securities in connection
with the repayment at maturity or redemption of all the Junior Subordinated
Debentures; and

            (d)   the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

            SECTION 9.3. TERMINATION.

            As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event referred
to in Section 9.1 or 9.2, and upon the completion of the winding-up and
liquidation of the Issuer Trust, the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees
(each of whom is hereby authorized to take such action) shall file a certificate
of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware terminating
the Issuer Trust and, upon such filing, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators and the Issuer Trust
created and continued hereby shall terminate.

                                      -53-
<PAGE>

            SECTION 9.4. LIQUIDATION.

            (a)   If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or
(d) of Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Issuer Trust shall be
wound-up and liquidated by the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property
Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after paying or making
reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Issuer Trust in
accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, to each
Holder a Like Amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures, subject to Section
9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than 15 nor more than 45
days prior to the 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 Capital Securities or its nominee,
as the registered Holder of the Global Capital Securities Certificates, 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.

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

            (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 Termination Event specified in clause (c) of
Section 9.2 occurs, the Issuer Trust shall be dissolved, and the Trust Property
shall be liquidated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property
Trustee determines. 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 paying or making reasonable
provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Issuer Trust in accordance
with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, an amount equal to the
aggregate of 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 Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation
Distributions upon any such dissolution, pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with
Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default in
Sections 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the
Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided
in Section 4.3.

            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 or Section 9.4. At the request of the Holder 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
Issuer Trustees, 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 that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly
assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Capital
Securities or (b) 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, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity
possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to
hold the Junior Subordinated Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the
Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities) to be downgraded

replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Issuer Trust has received an
Opinion of Counsel from a firm experienced in such matters to the effect that
(a) 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 (b) 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

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 Capital Securities or Successor
Capital Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee.
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 other than as a grantor trust for United States Federal
income tax purposes.

tax purposes.

            (e)   Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the

amendment to this Trust Agreement is in compliance with this Trust Agreement.

            The Owner has requested that the Specified Securities be transferred
to a person (the "Transferee") who will take delivery in the form of a
Restricted Capital Security. In connection with such transfer, the Owner hereby
certifies that, unless such transfer is being effected pursuant to an effective

accordance with Rule 144A, Rule 904 or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or
other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and all applicable
securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.
Accordingly, the Owner hereby further certifies as follows:

      1.    RULE 144A TRANSFERS. If the transfer is being effected in accordance
with Rule 144A:

            (A)   the Specified Securities are being transferred to a person
that the Owner and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe is a
"qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, acquiring for
its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer; and

            (B)   the Owner and any person acting on its behalf have taken
reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Owner may be
relying on Rule 144A in connection with the transfer.

      2.    RULE 904 TRANSFERS. If the transfer is being effected in accordance
with Rule 904:

            (A)   the Owner is not a distributor of the Capital Securities, an
affiliate of the Depositor or the Trust or any such distributor or a person
acting on behalf of any of the foregoing;

            (B)   the offer of the Specified Securities was not made to a person
in the United States;

            (C)   either:

                  (i)   at the time the buy order was originated, the Transferee
                        was outside the United States or the Owner and any
                        person acting on its behalf reasonably believed that the
                        Transferee was outside the United States, or

                  (ii)  the transaction is being executed in, on or through the
                        facilities of the Eurobond market, as regulated by the
                        Association of International Bond Dealers, or another
                        designated offshore securities market and neither the
                        Owner nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the
