with the Trustee as follows:

subdivision thereof, or as a result of any official or administrative
pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws
or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or such pronouncement,
action or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of
the Capital Securities, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the
Company will not be entitled to treat an amount equal to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities as Tier 1 capital (or the then
equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as then in effect and
applicable to the Company.

"Compounded Interest" shall have the meaning set
forth in Section 4.1.

body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a "Change in 1940 Act
Law"), the Trust is or will be considered an investment company that is
required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes effective on or after the date of original
issuance of the Capital Securities.

Interest, if any.

4

 

"Senior Obligations" shall have the meaning set
forth in the Indenture.  For the avoidance of confusion, the term Senior
Obligations does not include any indebtedness that by its terms is subordinated
to or ranks equally with the Notes, including any such indebtedness that the

to the extent that the classification of such indebtedness as ranking
subordinated to or equally with the Notes is authorized under the capital rules
of the Federal Reserve Board.

subdivision or taxing authority thereof or (b) any official administrative
pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or
regulations, which amendment or change is effective or such pronouncement or
decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the Capital

the Notes is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof, will not be
deductible, in whole or in part, by the Company for United States federal
income tax purposes or (ii) the Regular Trustees have been informed by a
nationally recognized independent tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion

recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters, which opinion
may rely on published revenue rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, to the
effect that the holders of the Capital Securities and Common Securities will
not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as
a result of the dissolution of the Trust and the distribution of the Notes.

ARTICLE 2

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

SECTION 2.1  
Designation and Principal Amount.  

There is hereby authorized and established under the
terms of the Indenture a series of the Company's securities designated the "61⁄4%
Junior Subordinated Notes, due 2055" limited in aggregate principal amount to
no more than $1,067,200,000 which amount shall be as set forth in one or more
written orders of the Company for the authentication and delivery of the Notes
pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Indenture including any subsequent or
supplemental written order of the Company upon exercise of the Option.

SECTION 2.2  
Maturity.  

The Maturity Date for the Notes is March 29, 2055.

SECTION 2.3  
Form and Payment. 

Except as provided in Section 2.4, the Notes shall be
issued in fully registered certificated form without interest coupons. 
Principal and interest on the Notes issued in certificated form will be
payable, the transfer of such Notes will be registrable and such Notes will be
exchangeable for Notes bearing identical terms and provisions at the office or agency
of the Trustee; provided, however, that payment of interest may
be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the Holder at such
address as shall appear in the Security Register.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the Holder of any Notes is the Property Trustee, the
payment of the principal of and interest (including Compounded Interest and
Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes held by the Property Trustee will be
made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property
Trustee.

SECTION 2.4  
Global Form.  

(a)        In
connection with a Dissolution Election,

(i)         the Notes in certificated form shall be
presented to the Trustee by the Property Trustee to be exchanged for one or
more fully registered securities representing the aggregate principal amount of
all then outstanding Notes as a Global Security to be registered in the name of
the Depositary, or its nominee (a "Global Note"), and delivered by the Trustee
to the Depositary for crediting to the accounts of its participants pursuant to
the instructions of the Regular Trustees.  Upon any such presentation, the
Company shall execute a Global Note in such aggregate principal amount and
deliver the same to the Trustee for authentication and delivery in accordance
with the Indenture and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture.  Payments on the
Notes issued as a Global Note will be made to the Depositary; and

(ii)        if any Capital Securities are held in
certificated form and not in book-entry form, the Notes in certificated form
may be presented to the Trustee by the Property Trustee and any Capital
Security Certificate which represents Capital Securities other than Capital
Securities held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee ("Non-Book‐Entry
Capital Securities") will be deemed to represent beneficial interests in Notes
presented to the Trustee by the Property Trustee having an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Non-Book‐Entry
Capital Securities until such Capital Security Certificates are presented to the
Security Registrar for transfer or reissuance, at which time such Capital
Security Certificates will be canceled and a Note, registered in the name of
the holder of the Capital Security Certificate or the transferee of the holder
of such Capital Security Certificate, as the case may be, with an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital
Security Certificate canceled, will be executed by the Company and delivered to
the Trustee for authentication and delivery in accordance with the Indenture
and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture.  On issue of such Notes, Notes with an
equivalent aggregate principal amount that were presented by the Property
Trustee to the Trustee will be deemed to have been canceled.

                                                                                                
6

 

(b)        A Global Note may
be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the
Depositary, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or
to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(c)        If at any time the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in
good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation,
and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
condition, as the case may be, the Company will execute, and, subject to
Article 2 of the Indenture, the Trustee, upon written notice from the Company,
will authenticate and make available for delivery the Notes in definitive
registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note in
exchange for such Global Note.  In addition, the Company may at any time
determine that the Notes shall no longer be represented by a Global Note.  In
such event the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.07 of the
Indenture, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate evidencing
such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Notes in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note
in exchange for such Global Note.  Upon the exchange of the Global Note for
such Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, the Global Note shall be canceled by the Trustee.  Such Notes in
definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Note shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.  The Trustee shall deliver such Notes
to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities
are so registered.

SECTION 2.5  
Interest. 

(a)        Each Note will
bear interest at the rate of 61⁄4% per annum (the "Coupon Rate") from March 28,
2006 until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue
principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the Coupon Rate,
compounded quarterly, payable (subject to the provisions of Article 4)
quarterly in arrears on March 29, June 29, September 29 and December 29 of each
year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), beginning on June 29, 2006 (the amount
payable for the initial distribution period will include an amount accrued for
one extra day), to the Person in whose name such Note or any predecessor Note
is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment, which, in respect of any Notes of which the Property
Trustee is the Holder of a Global Note, shall be the close of business on the
Business Day next preceding that Interest Payment Date.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if the Capital Securities are no longer in book-entry only
form, the relevant record dates shall be March 14, June 14, September 14 and
December 14 prior to the regular Interest Payment Date.

(b)        The amount of
interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360‐day
year of twelve 30-day months.  Except as provided in the following sentence,
the amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full quarter for
which interest is computed, will be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed in such a 30‐day 

                                                                                         
7

period. In the event that any date on
which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of
interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is
a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

(c)        If, at any time
while the Property Trustee is the Holder of any Notes, the Trust or the
Property Trustee is required to pay any taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed
by the United States, or any other domestic taxing authority, then, in any
case, the Company will pay as additional interest ("Additional Interest") on
the Notes held by the Property Trustee, such additional amounts as shall be
required so that the net amounts received and retained by the Trust and the
Property Trustee after paying such taxes, duties, assessments or other
governmental charges will be equal to the amounts the Trust and the Property
Trustee would have received had no such taxes, duties, assessments or other
government charges been imposed.

ARTICLE 3

PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES

SECTION 3.1  
Special Event Prepayment.

If a Special Event has occurred and is continuing prior
to March 29, 2011, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30
days' nor more than 60 days' notice to the Holders of the Notes, to prepay the
Notes, in whole but not in part, for cash within 90 days following the
occurrence of such Special Event (the "90-Day Period") at a prepayment price
equal to the Special Event Prepayment Price.  The Special Event Prepayment
Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such
repayment or such earlier time as the Company determines, provided that
the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the
Special Event Prepayment Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such
Special Event Prepayment Price is to be paid.

SECTION 3.2  
Optional Prepayment by Company.  

(a)        Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.2(b) and to the provisions of Article 14 of the
Indenture, the Company shall have the right to prepay the Notes, in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, on or after March 29, 2011, at a
redemption price equal to the Optional Prepayment Price.  Any prepayment
pursuant to this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 days' nor more
than 60 days' notice to the Holders of the Notes.  If the Notes are only partially
prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Notes will be prepaid pro rata
or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee; provided that
if, at the time of prepayment, the Notes are registered as a Global Note, the
Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal
amount of such Notes held by each Holder of a Note to be prepaid.  The Optional
Prepayment Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date
of such prepayment or at such earlier time as the Company determines provided
that the Company shall 

                                                                                                  
8

deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the
Optional Prepayment Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such
Optional Prepayment Price is to be paid.

(b)        If a partial
prepayment of the Notes would result in the delisting of the Capital Securities
issued by the Trust from any national securities exchange or other organization
on which the Capital Securities are then listed, the Company shall not be
permitted to effect such partial prepayment and may only prepay the Notes in
whole.

SECTION 3.3  
No Sinking Fund.  

The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking
fund.

ARTICLE 4

EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD

SECTION 4.1  
Extension of Interest Payment Period.

The Company shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time during the term of the Notes, to defer payments of interest by
extending the interest payment period of such Notes for a period not exceeding
20 consecutive quarters (the "Extended Interest Payment Period"), during which
Extended Interest Payment Period no interest shall be due and payable; provided
that no Extended Interest Payment Period may extend beyond the Maturity
Date.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest, the payment of
which has been deferred because of the extension of the interest payment period
pursuant to this Section 4.1, will bear interest thereon at the Coupon Rate
compounded quarterly for each quarter of the Extended Interest Payment Period
("Compounded Interest").  At the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period,
the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Notes, including
any Additional Interest and Compounded Interest (together, "Deferred Interest")
that shall be payable to the Holders of the Notes in whose names the Notes are
registered in the Security Register on the first record date after the end of
the Extended Interest Payment Period.  Before the termination of any Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Company may further extend such period, provided
that such period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof
shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of
the Notes.  Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and
upon the payment of all Deferred Interest then due, the Company may commence a
new Extended Interest Payment Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. 
No interest shall be due and payable during an Extended Interest Payment
Period, except at the end thereof, but the Company may prepay at any time all
or any portion of the interest accrued during an Extended Interest Payment
Period.

SECTION 4.2  
Notice of Extension.

(a)        If the Property
Trustee is the only registered Holder of the Notes at the time the Company
selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give written
notice to the Regular Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Trustee of its
selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period at least one Business Day
before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the
Trust Securities issued by the Trust are payable,

                                                                                           
9

 or (ii) the date on which the
Trust is required to give notice of the record date, or the date on which such
Distributions are payable, to the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange
upon which the Notes or Trust Securities are listed or any other applicable
self‐regulatory organization or to holders of the Capital Securities
issued by the Trust, but in any event at least one Business Day before such
record date (however, in no event shall notice be required more than 15 Business
Days prior to an Interest Payment Date).

(b)        If the Property
Trustee is not the only Holder of the Notes at the time the Company selects an
Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give the Holders of the
Notes and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extended Interest
Payment Period at least 10 Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) the date the Company is required to
give notice of the record or payment date of such interest payment to the New
York Stock Exchange or any other exchange upon which the Notes or Trust
Securities are listed or any other applicable self‐regulatory
organization or to Holders of the Notes (however, in no event shall notice be
required more than 15 Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date).

(c)        The quarter in
which any notice is given pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 4.2
shall be counted as one of the 20 quarters permitted in computing the maximum
Extended Interest Payment Period permitted under Section 4.1.

SECTION 4.3  
Limitation of Transactions.  

If (i) the Company shall exercise its right to defer
payment of interest as provided in Section 4.1 and such Extended Interest
Payment Period is continuing, or (ii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing any Event of Default or Nonpayment, as defined in the Indenture,
then (a) the Company shall not declare or pay any dividend on, make any
distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation
payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (i) purchases or
acquisitions of shares of its common stock in connection with the satisfaction
by the Company of its obligations under any employee benefit plans, (ii) as a
result of a reclassification of its capital stock or the exchange or conversion
of one class or series of Company capital stock for another class or series of
its capital stock or (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of
its capital stock pursuant to an acquisition or the conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or security being converted or exchanged) or
make any guarantee payment with respect thereto and (b) the Company shall not
make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities (including guarantees) issued by the
Company which rank pari passu with or junior to the Notes.

SUBORDINATED NOTES,

DUE
2055

BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company", which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received,
hereby promises to pay to THE BANK OF NEW YORK, AS PROPERTY TRUSTEE OF BAC
CAPITAL TRUST X, or registered assigns, the principal sum of
____________________________________ DOLLARS ($__________.00) on March 29, 2055
(the "Maturity Date"), and to pay interest on said principal sum from March 28,
2006 or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an
"Interest Payment Date") to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 29,
June 29, September 29 and December 29 of each year beginning June 29, 2006 (the
amount payable for the initial distribution period will include an amount
accrued for one extra day), at the rate of 61⁄4% per annum until the principal
hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal and
premium, if any, and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of
such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment
of interest at the same rate per annum compounded quarterly.  The amount of
interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of
a 360‐day year of twelve 30‐day

months.  In the event that any date
on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment
of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date.  The
interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the
person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as
defined in the Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular
record date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business
on the business day next preceding such Interest Payment Date.  IF PURSUANT TO
THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE THE NOTES ARE NO LONGER REPRESENTED BY A GLOBAL
NOTE, the record date shall be the close of business on the
March 14, June 14, September 14 and December 14 prior to
such payment dates.  Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly
provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on
such regular record date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such
defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders of
this series of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such special record date,
or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture.  The principal of (and premium, if any) and the
interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee
maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of
America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be
made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered Holder at
such address as shall appear in the Security Register.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the Holder of this Note is the Property Trustee, the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note
will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the
Property Trustee.  As used herein, the term "Business Day" shall mean any day
other than a day on which federal or state banking institutions in New York,
New York, or Charlotte, North Carolina, are authorized or obligated by law,
executive order or regulation to close.

The indebtedness evidenced by
this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Obligations (as
defined in the Indenture and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture) and this Note is
issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.  Each
Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by
such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to
take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his or
her attorney‐in‐fact for any and all such purposes.  Each Holder
hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the
acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the
Indenture by each holder of Senior Obligations, whether now outstanding or
hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said
provisions.

This Note shall not be entitled
to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become
obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall

The provisions of this Note are
continued on the reverse side hereof and such continued provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed in its

(FORM
OF REVERSE OF NOTE)

This Note is one of a duly
authorized series of Notes of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the
"Notes"), specified in the Indenture, all issued or to be issued in one or more
series under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 1, 2001, duly
executed and delivered between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee
(the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture dated as
of March 28, 2006 (the "Tenth Supplemental Indenture"), between the Company and
the Trustee (the Indenture as so supplemented, the "Indenture"), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the
Notes.  By the terms of the Indenture, the Notes are issuable in series that
may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects
as provided in the Indenture.  This series of Notes is limited in aggregate
principal amount as specified in the Tenth Supplemental Indenture.

Because of the occurrence and
continuation of a Special Event, as defined in the Indenture, in certain
circumstances, this Note may become due and payable at a prepayment price equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon up to but excluding the date of prepayment (the "Special Event
Prepayment Price"). The Special Event Prepayment Price shall be paid prior to
12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such prepayment or at such earlier
time as the Company determines. In addition, the Company shall have the right
to prepay this Note at the option of the Company, in whole or in part at any
time on or after March 29, 2011 (an "Optional Prepayment"), or at any time in
certain circumstances upon the occurrence of a Special Event, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Junior
Subordinated Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but
excluding the date of prepayment (the "Optional Prepayment Price").  Any
prepayment pursuant to this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 days'
nor more than 60 days' notice, at the Optional Prepayment Price.  If the Notes
are only partially prepaid by the Company pursuant to an Optional Prepayment,
the Notes will be prepaid pro rata or by lot or by any other
method utilized by the Trustee; provided that if, at the time of
prepayment, the Notes are registered as a Global Note, the Depositary shall
determine the principal amount of such Notes held by each Note holder to be
prepaid in accordance with its procedures.

In the event of prepayment of
this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series for the portion
hereof not prepaid will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof.

In case an Event of Default, as
defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal
of all of the Notes may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become,
due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions
provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains
provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
of each series affected at the time outstanding, as defined in the Indenture,
to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture
or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any 

                                                                                    
17

manner the rights of
the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall (i)  reduce the principal amount thereof, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce
any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the
Holder of each Note so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental
indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Note then outstanding and
affected thereby.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series
at the time outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of all of the Holders of
the Notes of such series, to waive any past default in the performance of any
of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the
Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences.  Any such consent
or waiver by the registered Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in
the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange
herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise),
irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Note.

No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time
and place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed.

The Company shall have the
right at any time during the term of the Notes and from time to time to defer
payment of interest by extending the interest payment period of such Notes for
a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (an "Extended Interest Payment
Period"), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all interest then
accrued and unpaid (together with interest thereon at the rate specified for
the Notes to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law); provided that no Extended Interest Payment
Period may last beyond the Maturity Date of the Notes.  Before the termination
of any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may further extend
such Extended Interest Payment Period, provided that such
Extended Interest Payment Period together with all such further extensions
thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend the Maturity Date of
the Notes.  At the termination of any such Extended Interest Payment Period and
upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts
then due, the Company may commence a new Extended Interest Payment Period,
subject to the requirements contained in this paragraph.

As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable
by the registered Holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of
the Trustee in the City and State of New York accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or
the Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.

                                                                                         
18

 

Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee, any paying
agent and the Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder
hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue
and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or
on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon
and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying
agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

No recourse shall be had for
the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim
based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the
Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past,
present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Global Note is
exchangeable for Notes in definitive form only under certain limited
circumstances set forth in the Indenture.  Notes of this series so issued are
issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $25 and
any integral multiple thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Notes of this series so
issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this
series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

All terms used in this Note
that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture.

THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT
OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

behalf of the Holders of all of the Capital Securities, may waive any past
Event of Default in respect of the Capital Securities and its consequences, provided
that, if the underlying Event of Default under the Indenture:

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

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

The foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.6(a) shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B)
of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust
Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and the
Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.  Upon such waiver, any
such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the
Capital Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or an Event of Default with respect to the Capital
Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.  Any waiver by the Holders
of the Capital Securities of an Event of Default with respect to the Capital
Securities also shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Holders of the
Common Securities of any such Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities for all purposes of this Declaration without any further act, vote
or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities.

(b)           The
Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities, by vote,

10

 any past
Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities and its consequences, provided
that, if the underlying Event of Default under the Indenture:

(i)            is
not waivable under the Indenture, except where the Holders of the Common
Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under the
Declaration as provided below in this Section 2.6(b), the Event of Default
under the Declaration shall also not be waivable; or

(ii)           requires
the consent or vote of the holders of a Super Majority of the Notes to be
waived under the Indenture, except where the Holders of the Common Securities
are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under the Declaration as
provided below in this Section 2.6(b), the Event of Default under the
Declaration only may be waived by the vote of the Holders of at least the
proportion in liquidation amount of the Common Securities that the relevant
Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding;

provided further,
each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any such Event
of Default and all Events of Default with respect to the Common Securities and
its consequences until all Events of Default with respect to the Capital
Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and until such
Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been so cured,
waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee will be deemed to be
acting solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and only the
Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property
Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Securities.  The foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall be in lieu of
Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such
Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act are
hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and the Securities, as
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.  Subject to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.6(b), upon such waiver by the Holders of the Common Securities,
any such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default with respect to
the Common Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c)           A
waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture by the Property Trustee at
the direction of the Holders of the Capital Securities constitutes a waiver of
the corresponding Event of Default under this Declaration.  The foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.6(c) shall be in lieu of Section 
316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of
the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and
the Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 2.7   Event of Default
or Nonpayment Notice.  

(a)           The
Property Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of
Default or a nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, when due,
on the Notes ("Nonpayment"), transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to
the Holders of

Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default except:

(i)            an
Event of Default under the Indenture or a Nonpayment; or

default as to which a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee shall have

16

 payments
to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders of the Common Securities
from the Property Trustee Account in accordance with Section 6.1.  Funds in the
Property Trustee Account shall be held uninvested until disbursed in accordance
with this Declaration.  The Property Trustee Account shall be an account that
is maintained with a banking institution the rating of whose long-term
unsecured indebtedness is at least equal to the rating assigned to the Capital
Securities by a "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as
that term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act;

has actual knowledge or the Property Trustee's duties and obligations under
this Declaration or the Trust Indenture Act; provided however, that if a
Nonpayment has occurred and is continuing, a Holder of Capital Securities may
institute directly a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such Holder of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes having a principal
amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of
such Holder (a "Direct Action") after the respective due date specified in the
Notes.  In connection with such Direct Action, the rights of the Holders of the
Common Securities will be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of Capital
Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Note Issuer to such Holder
of Capital Securities in such Direct Action.

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

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

(ii)           a
Successor Property Trustee has been appointed and
has accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 5.7.

provision of this Declaration shall require the Property Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of
such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Declaration or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Property Trustee
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;

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

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

(vii)         the
Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by
it except as it may otherwise agree in writing with the Sponsor.  Money held by
the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except

pursuant to Section 3.8(c)(i) and except to the extent otherwise required by
law; and

Holders of the Common Securities shall use their best efforts to promptly
appoint a Successor Delaware Trustee or Successor Property Trustee as the case
may be if the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee delivers an instrument
of resignation in accordance with this Section 5.7.

(e)        If no
Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee shall have been
appointed and accepted appointment as provided in this Section 5.7 within 60
days after delivery of an instrument of resignation or removal, the Property
Trustee or Delaware Trustee resigning or being removed, as applicable, may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor
Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee.  Such court may thereupon,
after prescribing such notice, if any, as it

                                                                               
28

 may deem proper and prescribe,
appoint a Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case
may be.

(f)            No
Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions
to act of any Successor Property Trustee or successor Delaware Trustee, as the
case may be.

(g)           All Trustees shall at all
times be "United States Persons" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code.

SECTION 5.8   Vacancies Among
Trustees.  

If a Trustee ceases to hold
office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
Section 5.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 5.1,
a vacancy shall occur.  A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy
by the Regular Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the
Regular Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of the existence of such
vacancy.  The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance
with Section 5.7.

SECTION 5.9   Effect of
Vacancies.  

The death, resignation,
retirement, removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or
incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to annul the
Trust.  Whenever a vacancy in the number of Regular Trustees shall occur, until
such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a Regular Trustee in accordance
with Section 5.7, the Regular Trustees in office, regardless of their number,
shall have all the powers granted to the Regular Trustees and shall discharge
all the duties imposed upon the Regular Trustees by this Declaration.

SECTION 5.10          
Meetings.

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

                                                                                            
29

 unanimous written
consent of the Regular Trustees.  Any and all actions of the Regular Trustees
also may be evidenced by a written consent of such Regular Trustee.

SECTION 5.11          
Delegation of Power.

(a)           Any
Regular Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law,
delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or her power for
the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 3.6, including
any registration statement or amendment thereto filed with the Commission, or
making any other governmental filing; and

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

SECTION 5.12          
Merger, Conversion, Consolidation, Amalgamation or Succession to
Business.  

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

DISTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 6.1   Distributions. 

Holders shall receive
Distributions at the times and in accordance with the applicable terms of the
relevant Holder's Securities.  If and to the extent that the Note Issuer makes
a payment of interest (including Compounded Interest, as defined in the
Indenture) and Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture), premium or
principal on the Notes held by the Property Trustee (the amount of any such

SECTION 7.1   General
Provisions Regarding Securities.

(a)           The
Regular Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue the Capital Securities
which shall have such terms as are set forth in a completed Designation of
Terms in the form attached hereto as Annex I, in the amounts, at the times and
with such additions, deletions, modifications and completions as may be
approved by the Regular Trustees (the "Designation of Terms"), and one class of
Common Securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of
the Trust in the amounts, at the times and having such terms as are set forth
in a completed  Designation of Terms.  The Trust shall issue no securities or
other interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Capital Securities

(c)           The
Securities are subject to redemption as provided in the Designation of Terms.

(d)           The
Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by a Regular Trustee.  Such
signature shall be the manual signature of any present or any future Regular
Trustee.  In case any Regular Trustee of the Trust who shall have signed any of
the Certificates shall cease to be such Regular Trustee before the Certificates
so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificates nevertheless may
be delivered as though the person who signed such Certificates had not ceased
to be such Regular Trustee.  Any Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Trust by such persons who, at the actual date of execution of such Security,
shall be the Regular Trustees of the Trust, although at the date of the
execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such a
Regular Trustee.  Certificates shall be typed, printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have
such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem appropriate, or as may
be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation of any stock
exchange on which Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

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

(f)            Upon
issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the Securities so
issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(g)           Every
Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a Capital Security Beneficial
Owner in accordance with the terms of this Declaration, shall be deemed to

                                                                                
31

 have
expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this
Declaration, including the Designation of Terms.

(h)           The Securities are not, and
shall not be deemed to be, savings accounts or bank deposits or an obligation
of or guaranteed by any banking affiliate of the Note Issuer and are not
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental
agency.

SECTION 7.2   Paying Agent. 

In the event that the Capital Securities are not in
Book-Entry only form, the Trust shall maintain in New York, New York, an office
or agency where the Capital Securities may be presented for payment ("Paying
Agent).  The Trust may appoint the Paying Agent and may appoint one or more additional
paying agents in such other locations as it shall determine and shall make such
appointment in any other location required by law or the rules of any
securities exchange on which the Capital Securities may be listed.  The term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.  The Trust may change any
Paying Agent without prior notice to any Holder.  The Trust shall notify the
Property Trustee of the name and address of any Paying Agent not a party to
this Declaration.  If the Trust fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Paying Agent, the Property Trustee shall act as such.  The Trust or any of its
Affiliates may act as Paying Agent.  The Property Trustee shall initially act

                        (ii)

      (v)           at
the election of the Sponsor at any time pursuant to which the Trust shall have

Delaware and the Trust shall terminate.

(c)           The
provisions of Section 3.9 and Article 10 shall survive the termination of
the Trust.

ARTICLE 9

TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

SECTION 9.1   Transfer of
Securities.  

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

(b)           Subject
to this Article 9 and Section 4.3, the Sponsor and any Related Party may only
transfer Common Securities to the Sponsor or a Related Party of the Sponsor; provided
that any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent that the
transferor obtain the written opinion of a nationally recognized independent
counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer would not cause more
than an insubstantial risk that:

(i)         the Trust would not be
classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association or a
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation; and

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

SECTION 9.2   Transfer of
Certificates.  

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

                                                                                           
33

 Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Regular Trustees.  A
transferee of a Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a
Certificate.  By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee shall be deemed
to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

SECTION 9.3   Deemed Security
Holders.  

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

SECTION 9.4   Book-Entry
Interests.  

Unless otherwise specified in
the terms of the Capital Securities, the Capital Securities Certificates, on
original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered,
global Capital Security Certificates, to be delivered to the Depositary, the
initial Clearing Agency (each a "Global Security"), by, or on behalf of, the
Trust.  Such Global Securities shall initially be registered on the books and
records of the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
Depositary, and no Capital Security Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive
Capital Security Certificate representing such Capital Security Beneficial
Owner's interests in such Global Securities, except as provided in Section
9.7.  Unless and until definitive, fully registered Capital Security
Certificates (the "Definitive Capital Security Certificates") have been issued
to the Capital Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.7:

(a)           the
provisions of this Section 9.4 shall be in full force and effect;

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

(c)           to
the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4 conflict with any other
provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall
control; and

(d)           the
rights of the Capital Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law
and agreements between such Capital Security Beneficial Owners and the Clearing
Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.  The Depositary will make
Book-Entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and
transmit payments of Distributions on the Global Securities to such Clearing
Agency Participants.

SECTION 9.5   Notices to
Clearing Agency.  

Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Capital Security Holders is required under this
Declaration, unless and until Definitive Capital Security Certificates shall
have been issued to the Capital Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
9.7, the Regular Trustees shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to the Capital Security Holders to the Clearing
Agency, and shall have no notice obligations to the Capital Security Beneficial
Owners.

SECTION 9.6   Appointment of
Successor Clearing Agency.  

If any Clearing Agency elects
to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the
Capital Securities, the Regular Trustees may, in their sole discretion, appoint
a successor Clearing Agency with respect to such Capital Securities.

SECTION 9.7   Definitive
Capital Security Certificates.  

If:

(a)           a
Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary
with respect to the Capital Securities and a successor Clearing Agency is not
appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to Section 9.6; or

(b)           the
Regular Trustees elect after consultation with the Sponsor to terminate the
Book-Entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the Capital
Securities;

then:

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

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

Otherwise, Definitive Capital Security Certificates will
not be issued.

SECTION 9.8   Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.  

If:

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

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

then, in the absence of notice that such Certificate
shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, any Regular Trustee on
behalf of the Trust shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
like denomination.  In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 9.8, the Regular Trustees may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith.  Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the
relevant Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

ARTICLE 10

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF

HOLDERS OF SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

SECTION 10.1       Liability. 

(a)           Except
as expressly set forth in this Declaration, the Securities Guarantees and the
terms of the Securities, the Sponsor shall not:

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

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

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

SECTION 10.2       Exculpation. 

(a)           No
Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or
otherwise to the Trust or any Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim
incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such
Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such
Indemnified Person

                                                                               
36

 reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority
conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration or by law, except that
an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim
incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's gross negligence (or negligence
in the case of the Property Trustee) or willful misconduct with respect to such
acts or omissions.

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

SECTION 10.3       Fiduciary
Duty.  

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

(b)        Unless
otherwise expressly provided herein:

(i)            whenever
a conflict of interest exists or arises between any Covered Persons; or

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

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

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

                                                                                      
37

 

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

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

SECTION 10.4          
Indemnification.  

(a)    (i)   The
Note Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any Company
Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the Trust) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Company
Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall
not, of itself, create a presumption that the Company Indemnified Person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.

(ii)           The
Note Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any Company
Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Trust to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or
was a Company Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys' fees
and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Trust and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which such Company Indemnified Person shall
have been adjudged to be liable to the Trust unless and only to the extent that
the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(iii)          To
the extent that a Company Indemnified Person shall be successful on the merits
or otherwise (including dismissal of an action without prejudice or the
settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this
Section 10.4(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall
be indemnified, to the full extent permitted by law, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith.

(iv)          Any
indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the Note Issuer only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Company Indemnified
Person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii).  Such determination
shall be made (1) by the Regular Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of such Regular Trustees who were not parties to such action, suit
or proceeding, (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable,
if a quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the Holders of the Common Securities.

(v)           Expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by a Company
Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
of this Section 10.4(a) shall be paid by the Note Issuer in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Note Issuer as authorized in this Section 10.4(a). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Note Issuer if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Regular Trustees by a
majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees, (ii) if such a
quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested
Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion
or (iii) the Common Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts
known to the Regular Trustees, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the
time such determination is made, such Company Indemnified Person acted in bad
faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, that such Company Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  In no event shall any advance be
made in instances where the Regular Trustees, independent legal counsel or
Common Security Holder reasonably determine that such person deliberately
breached his duty to the Trust or to the Holders of the Common or Capital
Securities.

(vi)          The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, the other paragraphs of this Section 10.4(a) shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of
expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of

 stockholders or
disinterested directors of the Note Issuer or Capital Security Holders of the
Trust or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action
in another capacity while holding such office.  All rights to indemnification
under this Section 10.4(a) shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between
the Note Issuer and each Company Indemnified Person who serves in such capacity
at any time while this Section 10.4(a) is in effect.  Any repeal or
modification of this Section 10.4(a) shall not affect any rights or obligations
then existing.

(vii)         The
Note Issuer or the Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a Company Indemnified Person against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the Note Issuer would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section
10.4(a).

(viii)         For
purposes of this Section 10.4(a), references to "the Trust" shall include, in
addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any constituent entity
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger, so that any person who is or was a director, trustee, officer or
employee of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of
such constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of
another entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Section 10.4(a) with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would
have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had
continued.

(ix)          The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, this Section 10.4(a) shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Company Indemnified
Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

(b)           The Note Issuer agrees to
indemnify the (i) Property Trustee, (ii) the Delaware Trustee, (iii) any
Affiliate of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, and (iv) any
officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives,
custodians, nominees or agents of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee
(each of the Persons in (i) through (iv) being referred to as a "Fiduciary
Indemnified Person") for, and to hold each Fiduciary Indemnified Person
harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense
including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of such Fiduciary
Indemnified Person) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against or
investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.  The obligation to
indemnify as set forth in this Section 10.4(b) shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Declaration.

Businesses.  

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

all times during the existence of the Trust, the Regular Trustees shall keep,
or cause to be kept, full books of account, records and supporting documents,
which shall reflect in reasonable detail each transaction of the Trust.  

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

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

an exemption from withholding with respect to each Holder, and any
representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Trust to
assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding
obligations.  The Regular Trustees shall file required forms with applicable
jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from withholding is properly established
by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to
applicable jurisdictions.  To the extent that the Trust is required to withhold
and pay over any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations
to any Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a distribution in the
amount of the withholding to the Holder.  In the event of any claim over
withholding, the Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable
jurisdiction.  If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from
actual Distributions made, the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions by the
amount of such withholding.

stock exchange on which the Capital Securities are listed or admitted for
trading, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of the
Holders of Securities.  Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the
Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing
setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders of Securities owning

be necessary to

 authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders
of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and voting.  Prompt
notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders
of Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing.  The Regular
Trustees may specify that any written ballot submitted to the Security Holder
for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the

matters in which a Holder of Securities is entitled to participate, including
waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting.  No
proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof
unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  Every proxy shall be revocable at the

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

(iv)          unless

relating to meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice of the time,
place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any
Holders of Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent without a
meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in

ANNEX I

BAC
CAPITAL TRUST X

DESIGNATION
OF TERMS OF

61⁄4
% CAPITAL SECURITIES AND

61⁄4 % COMMON SECURITIES

Pursuant to
Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of March
21, 2006 (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the designation,
rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of
the Capital Securities and the Common Securities are set out below (each
capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning set forth in the
Declaration);

1.         Designation and Number.

(a)        Capital
Securities. The Capital Securities of the Trust (liquidation amount $25 per
Capital Security) are hereby designated for purposes of identification only as
"BAC Capital Trust X 61⁄4 % Capital Securities" (the "Capital Securities"). 
Initially, the Trust shall issue 36,000,000 Capital Securities with an
aggregate liquidation amount of $900,000,000.  The Capital Security
Certificates evidencing the Capital Securities shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-1 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto
or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice
or to conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Capital
Securities are listed.

(b)        Common
Securities. The Common Securities of the Trust (liquidation amount $25 per
Security) are hereby designated for purposes of identification only as "BAC
Capital Trust X 61⁄4 % Common Securities" (the "Common Securities").  Initially,
the Trust shall issue 1,120,000 Common Securities with an aggregate liquidation
amount of $28,000,000.  The Common Security Certificates evidencing the Common
Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the
Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as
may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice.

(c)        Upon exercise of the
Option by the Underwriters, the Trust may issue up to an additional 5,400,000
Capital Securities and up to an additional 168,000 Common Securities. 
References in this Designation of Terms or in the Declaration to Securities,
Capital Securities or Common Securities shall include the Securities so
issued.  At the time of the issue of Additional Securities, the Trust and the
Sponsor shall execute a certificate in the form of Annex A-I to the
Declaration.

            2.         Distributions.

(a)        Distributions
payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of 61⁄4 % (the "Coupon
Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Security, such rate being
the interest rate payable on the Notes to be held by the Property Trustee. 
Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest thereon
compounded quarterly at the Coupon Rate (to

                                                                                    
I-1

 the extent permitted by applicable
law).  A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in
respect of the Notes held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
Property Trustee has funds available therefor.  The amount of Distributions
payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30‐day months.  The amount of Distributions payable for any period
shorter than a full distribution period will be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  The
amount of interest payable for any full interest period will be computed by
dividing the annual rate by four.

(b)        Distributions
on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from March 28, 2006 and will
be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 29, June29, September 29 and December
29, beginning on June 29, 2006, except as otherwise described below.  The Note
Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the
Notes by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Notes
for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (each an "Extension
Period"), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable on
the Notes, provided that no Extension Period may extend beyond
the Stated Maturity.  As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions also
will be deferred on the Capital Securities for the same period.  Despite such
deferral, quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded
quarterly during any such Extension Period.  Prior to the termination of any
such Extension Period, the Note Issuer may extend further such Extension
Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all
such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters
or extend beyond the Stated Maturity.  Payments of accrued Distributions will
be payable to Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust or
the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, on the first record date after the end
of the Extension Period.  Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the
payment of all amounts then due, the Note Issuer may commence a new Extension
Period, subject to the above requirements.  No interest shall be due and
payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but the Note
Issuer may repay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during
an Extension Period.

(c)        Distributions
on the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates.  While the Capital
Securities remain in Book‐Entry only form, the relevant record dates
shall be one Business Day prior to the relevant payment dates, which payment
dates correspond to the interest payment dates on the Notes.  Payment of
Distributions on the Securities held in Book-Entry only form will be made to
the Depositary in immediately available funds.  The Depositary's practice is to
credit Clearing Agency Participants' accounts on the relevant payment date in
accordance with their respective holdings shown on the Depositary's records
unless the Depositary has reason to believe that it will not receive payments
on such payment date.  Payments by (i) Clearing Agency Participants and (ii)
securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies and other entities
that clear transactions through or maintain a direct or indirect custodial
relationship with a Clearing Agency Participant (an "Indirect Participant") to
Capital Security Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions
and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such Clearing Agency
Participants and Indirect Participants and not of the Depositary, the Trust or
the Corporation, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be
in effect from time to time.  Payment of distributions to the Depositary is the
responsibility of the Trust,

                                                                                         
I-2

 disbursement of such payments to Clearing Agency
Participants is the responsibility of the Depositary, and disbursement of such
payments to the Capital Security Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of the
Clearing Agency Participants and Indirect Participants.  The relevant record
dates for the Common Securities shall be the same record date as for the
Capital Securities.  If the Capital Securities shall no longer remain in Book‐Entry
only form, the regular record dates for the Capital Securities shall be the
close of business on the March 14, June 14, September 14 and December 14 prior
to the relevant payment dates, which payment dates correspond to the interest
payment dates on the Notes.  Distributions payable on any Securities that are
not punctually paid on any Distribution payment date, as a result of the Note
Issuer having failed to make a payment under the Notes, will cease to be
payable to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered on the
relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable
to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered on the special
record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the
Indenture.  If any date on which Distributions are payable on the Securities is
not a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution payable on such date will
be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on such date.

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

            3.         Liquidation Distribution Upon
Dissolution.

In the event of any voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, the Holders
on the date of the dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be,
will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for
distribution to Holders after satisfaction of liabilities of creditors an
amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per
Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment
(such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with
such dissolution, winding‐up or termination, Notes in an aggregate stated
principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such
Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate of, and bearing
accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid
Distributions on, such Securities, shall be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to
the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities.

If, upon any such dissolution,
the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has
insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on the Securities
shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis.  Holders of the Common Securities will be
entitled to receive distributions upon any such dissolution Pro Rata with
Holders of the Capital Securities, except that if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a preference over
the Common Securities with respect to such distributions.

                                                                                   
I-3

 

            4.         Redemption and Distribution.

(a)        The
Securities are subject to redemption at the Stated Maturity, at any time on or
after March 29, 2011, and in certain circumstances, following the occurrence of
a Special Event as follows:

(i)         Upon payment of the Notes at a
payment price equal to the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the Stated Maturity, the proceeds from such payment
shall be applied simultaneously to redeem the Securities at the Maturity
Redemption Price.

(ii)        In the event of a Special Event
Prepayment prior to March 29, 2011, the proceeds from such Special Event Prepayment
shall be applied simultaneously to redeem the Capital Securities at the Special
Event Redemption Price.

(iii)       The Securities also may be
redeemed in whole or in part on or after March 29, 2011, contemporaneously with
an optional prepayment of the Notes at a redemption price equal to the Optional
Redemption Price.  If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so
redeemed, the Common Securities and the Capital Securities will be redeemed Pro
Rata and the Capital Securities to be redeemed will be as described in Section
4(d)(ii) below.

(b)        If
the Sponsor has given a notice of its election to terminate the Trust, the
Regular Trustees shall dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of creditors,
cause Notes held by the Property Trustee, having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the Securities, with an
interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate of, and bearing accrued and unpaid
interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, and
having the same record date for payment as, the Securities, to be distributed
to the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of such Holders' interests in
the Securities within 90 days following receipt of the Sponsor's notice of
election.

(c)        On
and from the date fixed by the Regular Trustees for any distribution of Notes
and dissolution of the Trust:  (i) the Securities will no longer be deemed
to be outstanding, (ii) the Depositary or its nominee as the record Holder
of the Capital Securities, will receive a registered Global Security or
Securities representing the Notes to be delivered upon such distribution and
any certificates representing Securities, except for certificates representing
Capital Securities held by the Depositary or its nominee (or any successor
Clearing Agency or its nominee), will be deemed to represent beneficial
interests in the Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate stated liquidation amount of, with an identical interest rate, and
accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on such
Securities until such certificates are presented to the Note Issuer or its
agent for transfer or reissue.  The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the
outstanding Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been
paid on all Securities for all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or
before the date of redemption.  If the Notes are distributed to holders of the
Securities, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Note Issuer will use
its best efforts to have the Notes listed on the securities exchange, if any,
on which the Capital Securities were listed immediately prior to the
distribution of the Notes.

                                                                                            
I-4

 

(d)        Redemption or Distribution Procedures shall be
as follows:

(i)         A
Redemption/Distribution Notice for the Securities to be redeemed or exchanged
will be given by the Trust by mail to each Holder not fewer than 15 nor more
than 60 days before the redemption date or exchange date which, in the case of
a redemption, will be the date fixed for redemption of the Notes.  For purposes
of the calculation of the redemption date or exchange date and the dates on
which notices are given pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i), a Redemption/
Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first
mailed by first‐class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of Securities. 
Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of
Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and
records of the Trust.  No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in
the mailing of either with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of
the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder.

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

(iii)       If
Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a Redemption/Distribution
Notice, which notice may only be issued if the Notes are repaid as set out in
this Section 4 (which notice will be irrevocable), then (A) while the Capital
Securities are in Book-Entry only form, with respect to the Capital Securities,
by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, provided that the
Note Issuer has paid the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in
connection with the related prepayment or maturity of the Notes, the Property
Trustee will deposit irrevocably with the Depositary or its nominee (or
successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) funds sufficient to pay the
applicable Redemption Price with respect to the Capital Securities and will
give the Depositary irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
Redemption Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities, and (B) with respect
to Capital Securities issued in definitive form and Common Securities, provided
that the Note Issuer has paid the Property Trustee a sufficient amount
of cash in connection with the related prepayment or maturity of the Notes, the
Property Trustee will pay the relevant Redemption Price to the Holders of such
Securities by check mailed to the address of the relevant Holder appearing on
the books and records of the Trust on the redemption date.  If a
Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given and funds deposited as
required, if applicable, then immediately prior to the close of business on the
date of such deposit, or on the redemption date, as applicable, Distributions
will cease to accrue on the Securities so called for redemption and all rights
of Holders of such Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the
right of the Holders of such Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but
without interest on such Redemption Price.  Neither the Regular Trustees nor
the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer
of

                                                                                 
I-5

 any Securities that have been so called for redemption.  If any date fixed
for redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
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 fixed for
redemption.  If payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Securities is
improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Property Trustee or
by the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the relevant Securities Guarantee,
Distributions on such Securities will continue to accrue from the original
redemption date to the actual date of payment, in which case the actual payment
date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.

(iv)       Redemption/Distribution
Notices shall be sent by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to (A) in
respect of the Capital Securities, the Depositary or its nominee (or any
successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) if the Global Securities have been
issued or, if Definitive Capital Security Certificates have been issued, to the
Holder thereof, and (B) in respect of the Common Securities to the Holder
thereof.

(v)        Subject
to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without limitation, United
States federal securities laws), provided the acquiror is not the Holder of the
Common Securities or the obligor under the Indenture, the Sponsor or any of its
subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Capital
Securities by tender, in the open market or by private agreement.

5.         Voting Rights - Capital
Securities.

(a)        Except
as provided under Sections 5(b) and 7 of this Designation of Terms and as
otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Capital Securities
will have no voting rights.

(b)        Subject
to the requirements set forth in this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in
aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, voting separately as a
class may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration, including the right
to direct the Property Trustee, as holder of the Notes, to (i) exercise
the remedies available under the Indenture by conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Note Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Note Trustee with respect to the Notes, (ii) waive any past
Event of Default and its consequences that is waivable under Section 5.01 of
the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that
the principal of all the Notes shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any
amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture as a holder of the
Notes provided, however, that, where a consent or action under
the Indenture would require the consent or act of the Holders of a Super
Majority affected thereby the Property Trustee may only give such consent or
take such action at the written direction of the Holders of at least the
proportion in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities which the relevant
Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding.  The Property Trustee shall not revoke any

                                                                                         
I-6

 action previously
authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities. 
Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting
any remedy available to the Property Trustee or the Note Trustee as set forth
above, the Property Trustee shall not take any action in accordance with the
directions of the Holders of the Capital Securities under this paragraph unless
the Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that
for the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action.  If a
Nonpayment occurs on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable
(or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), and such Nonpayment is
continuing, a Holder of Capital Securities may institute a Direct Action after
the respective due date specified in the Notes.  In connection with such Direct
Action, the rights of the Holders of the Common Securities will be subrogated
to the rights of such Holder of Capital Securities to the extent of any payment
made by the Note Issuer to such Holder of Capital Securities in such Direct
Action.  If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the
Declaration, any Holder of Capital Securities may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, institute a legal proceeding directly against any Person to
enforce the Property Trustee's rights under the Declaration, without first
instituting a legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other
Person.

Except as provided in this
Section, the Holders of Capital Securities will not be able to exercise
directly any other remedy available to the holders of the Notes.

Any approval or direction of
Holders of Capital Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of
Capital Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the
Holders of Securities or pursuant to written consent.  The Regular Trustees
will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of Capital Securities are
entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such
Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of Capital
Securities.  Each such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date
of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a
description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which
such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent
is sought, and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.

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

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

            6.         Voting Rights - Common
Securities.

(a)        Except
as provided under Sections 6(b) and (c), 7(a) and (b) and 8 of this Designation
of Terms or as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of
the Common Securities will have no voting rights.

                                                                                        
I-7

 

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

(c)        Subject
to Section 2.6 of the Declaration and only after the Event of Default with
respect to the Capital Securities has been cured, waived, or otherwise
eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to last sentence of
this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time, method, and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee
under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time, method, place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Note Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Note Trustee with respect to the Notes,
(ii) waive any past default and its consequences that is waivable under Section
5.01 of the Indenture or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a
declaration that the principal of all the Notes shall be due and payable, provided
that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would require the
consent or act of the Holders of a Super Majority, the Property Trustee only
may give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the
Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes outstanding.  Pursuant to this Section 6(c), the
Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved
by a vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities.  Other than with respect to
directing the time, method and place of conducting any remedy available to the
Property Trustee or the Note Trustee as set forth above, the Property Trustee
shall not take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of
the Common Securities under this paragraph unless the Property Trustee has
obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for purposes of United
States federal income tax the Trust will not be classified as other than a
grantor trust on account of such action.  If the Property Trustee fails to
enforce its rights under the Declaration, any Holder of Common Securities may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, institute a legal proceeding
directly against any Person to enforce the Property Trustee's rights under the
Declaration, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Property
Trustee or any other Person.

Any approval or direction of
Holders of Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of
Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders
in the Trust or pursuant to written consent.  The Regular Trustees will cause a
notice of any meeting at which Holders of Common Securities are entitled to
vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is
to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of Common Securities.  Each
such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting
or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any
resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are
entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and
(iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.

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

            7.         Amendments to Declaration and
Indenture.

(a)        In
addition to any requirements under Section 12.1 of the Declaration, if any
proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular Trustees
otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the
powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of
amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up
or termination of the Trust, other than as described in Section 8.1 of the
Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities voting together as a
single class, will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal (but not
on any other amendment or proposal) and such amendment or proposal shall not be
effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Securities, affected thereby, provided, however, if
any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely
affect only the Capital Securities or only the Common Securities, then only the
affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such
amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of a Majority
in liquidation amount of such class of Securities.

(b)        In
the event the consent of the Property Trustee as the holder of the Notes is
required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification or
termination of the Indenture or the Notes, the Property Trustee shall request
the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to such
amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such
amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation
amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however,
that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of the
holders of a Super Majority, the Property Trustee may only give such consent at
the direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount
of the Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes outstanding; provided further, that
the Property Trustee shall not take any action in accordance with the
directions of the Holders of the Securities under this Section 7(b) unless the
Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for
the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be classified
as other than a grantor trust on account of such action.

            8.         Pro Rata.

A reference in these terms of
the Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata"
shall mean pro rata to each Holder according to the aggregate liquidation
amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the
aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation
to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case
any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of
the Capital Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount
of Capital Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate
liquidation amount of all Capital Securities outstanding, and, only after
satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Capital Securities, to
each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate
liquidation amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to
the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding.

                                                                                      
I-9

 

            9.         Ranking.

The Capital Securities rank pari
passu and payment thereon shall be made pro rata with the Common
Securities except that, where an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
rights of Holders of the Common Securities to payment in respect of
Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise are
subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

            10.       Listing.

An application will be made to
list the Capital Securities on the New York Stock Exchange; otherwise, unless
otherwise determined by the Regular Trustees, the Capital Securities shall not
be listed for quotation on any stock exchange.

11.       Acceptance
of Securities Guarantee and Indenture.

Each Holder of Capital
Securities and Common Securities, by the acceptance thereof, agrees to the
provisions of the Capital Securities Guarantee and the Common Securities
Guarantee, respectively, including the subordination provisions therein and to
the provisions of the Indenture.

            12.       No Preemptive Rights.

The Holders of the Securities
shall have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities.

13.       Miscellaneous.

These terms constitute a part
of the Declaration.

The Sponsor will provide a copy

Securities Guarantee (as may be appropriate), and the Indenture to a Holder
without charge on written request to the Sponsor at its principal place of

[FORM
OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

Distributions payable on each
Capital Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of 61⁄4 % (the "Coupon Rate")
of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Capital Security, such rate being
the rate of interest payable on the Notes to be held by the Property Trustee on
behalf of the Trust.  Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will
bear interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon
Rate, compounded quarterly.  A Distribution is payable only to the extent that
payments are made in respect of the Notes held by the Property Trustee and to
the extent the Property Trustee has funds available therefor.  The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30‐day months.

Except as otherwise described
below, Distributions on the Capital Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
from the date of original issuance and will be payable quarterly in arrears on March
29, June 29, September 29 and December 29 of each year, beginning on June 29,
2006, to the person in whose name the Capital Security is registered at the
close of business on the regular record date for such installment, which shall
be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding such payment date -
[IF PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE DECLARATION, THE SECURITIES ARE NO LONGER
REPRESENTED BY A GLOBAL SECURITY - which shall be the close of business on March
14, June 14, September 14 and December 14 prior to the relevant payment date.] 
The Note Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest
by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Notes for a
period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (each an "Extension Period"), provided
that no Extension Period shall last beyond the date of the maturity of
the Notes.  As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be
deferred hereunder for the same period.  Despite such deferral, quarterly
Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly during any
such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period,
the Note Issuer may further extend such Extension Period; provided that
such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions
thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend beyond the maturity
date of the Notes.  Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to
Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first
record date after the end of the Extension Period.  Upon the termination of any
Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, the Note Issuer may
commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements.

THE CAPITAL SECURITIES SHALL BE
REDEEMABLE AS PROVIDED IN THE DECLARATION.
