                 (I)  after an Event of Default (other than under paragraph (b),
(c), (d) or (e) of the definition of such term if such Event of Default is by or
with respect to the Property Trustee) the taking of any action incidental to the
foregoing as the Property Trustee may from time to time determine is necessary
or advisable to give effect to the terms of this Trust Agreement and protect and
conserve the Trust Property for the benefit of the Securityholders (without
consideration of the effect of any such action on any particular
Securityholder);

                 (J)  so long as the Property Trustee is the Securities
Registrar, registering transfers of the Trust Securities in accordance with this
Trust Agreement; and

                 (K)  except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.7(a)(ii),
the Property Trustee shall have none of the duties, liabilities, powers or the

     (b)  So long as this Trust Agreement remains in effect, the Trust (or the
Trustees acting on behalf of the Trust) shall not undertake any business,
activities or transaction except as expressly provided herein or contemplated
hereby. In particular, the Trustees shall not (i) acquire any investments or
engage in any activities not authorized by this Trust Agreement, (ii) sell,
assign, transfer, exchange, mortgage, pledge, set-off or otherwise dispose of

placement of a Lien on any of the Trust Property. The Administrative Trustees
shall defend all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any Lien

Securityholders in their capacity as Securityholders.

     (c)  In connection with the issue and sale of the Capital Securities, the
Depositor shall have the right and responsibility to assist the Trust with
respect to, or effect on behalf of the Trust, the following (and any actions
taken by the Depositor in furtherance of the following prior to the date of this
Trust Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects):

          (i)    the preparation and filing by the Trust with the Commission and
the execution by the Trust of a registration statement on the appropriate form
in relation to the Capital Securities, including any amendments thereto;

          (ii)   the determination of the States in which to take appropriate
action to qualify or register for sale all or part of the Capital Securities and

relating to the registration of the Capital Securities under Section 12(b) or
12(g) of the Exchange Act, including any amendments thereto;

          (v)   the negotiation of the terms of, and the execution and delivery
of, the Underwriting Agreement providing for the sale of the Capital Securities;
and

          (vi)  the taking of any other actions necessary or desirable to carry
out any of the foregoing activities.

     (d)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative
Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to
operate the Trust so that the Trust will not be deemed to be an "investment
company" required to be registered under the 1940 Act, or fail to be classified
as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and so that the
Debentures will be treated as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States
federal income tax purposes. In this connection, the Depositor and the
Administrative Trustees are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with
applicable law, the Certificate of Trust or this Trust Agreement, that each of
the Depositor and any Administrative Trustee determines in its discretion to be
necessary or desirable for such purposes, as long as such action does not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the holders of the
Capital Securities.

SECTION 2.8.   Assets of Trust.

the Property Trustee for the benefit of the Trust and the Securityholders in
accordance with this Trust Agreement.

                                 ARTICLE III.

                                PAYMENT ACCOUNT

SECTION 3.1.   Payment Account.

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

                                      15
<PAGE>

     (b)  The Property Trustee shall deposit in the Payment Account, promptly
upon receipt, all payments of principal of or interest on, and any other
payments or proceeds with respect to, the Debentures. Amounts held in the

                                  ARTICLE IV.

                           DISTRIBUTIONS, REDEMPTION

SECTION 4.1.   Distributions.

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

          (i)   Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and
will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for the
payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accrue from the date of original
issuance of the Trust Securities, and, except in the event (and to the extent)
that the Depositor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the
Debentures (which the Depositor has the right to do pursuant to the Indenture
and as described in clause (ii) below), shall be payable ___________ in arrears
at the close of business on the ____ day of _________, _________, _________ and
________ of each year, commencing on _________ __, 200_. If any date on which a
Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day,
then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day
that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of
any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such date (each
date on which distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a),
a "Distribution Date").

          (ii)  So long as no Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Depositor has the right during the term of the Debentures to
defer the payment of interest on the Debentures, at any time and from time to
time, for up to __ consecutive _________ interest payment periods (each, an
"Extension Period") and, as a consequence of such extension, Distributions will
also be deferred. Despite such deferral, Distributions will continue to accrue
with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at __% per
annum during any such Extension Period. No Extension period will end on a date
other than an Interest Payment Date (as such term is defined in the Indenture).
At the end of any such Extension Period, the Depositor is required to pay all
interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional
Interest thereon, at the rate specified for the Debentures, compounded
__________, to the extent permitted by applicable law); provided however, that
no Extension Period will extend beyond the date on which principal of the
Debentures is due and payable (the "Stated Maturity"); provided further, that at
any time while an Extension Period is in effect and (i) the Depositor shortens
the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Debentures to end before the last
day of such Extension Period, then the Extension Period will be deemed to end on
the Stated Maturity or (ii) the Company elects to redeem all Outstanding
Debentures before the last day of such Extension Period, then the Extension
Period will be deemed to end on such Debenture

                                      16
<PAGE>

Redemption Date. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the
Depositor may further extend the Extension Period, provided that such extension
does not cause the Extension Period to exceed __ consecutive _________ interest
payment periods or to extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the
Debentures. Upon termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all
accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest
Payment Date, the Depositor may elect to begin a new Extension Period. No
interest shall be due and payable on the Debentures during an Extension Period,
except at the end thereof. There is no limitation on the number of times that
the Depositor may elect to begin or extend an Extension Period. Payments of
accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on the
Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the
record date immediately preceding the end of the Extension Period.

          (iii)  Assuming payments of interest (including Additional Interest,
Additional Sums and Additional Expenses) on the Debentures are made when due
(and before giving effect to Additional Amounts, if applicable), Distributions
on the Trust Securities shall be payable at a rate of __% per annum of the
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The amount of Distributions payable
for any full period shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve
30-day months. The amount of Distributions for any partial period shall be
computed on the basis of the number of actual days elapsed in a 30-day month.
The amount of Distributions payable for any period will include amounts accrued
to but excluding the Distribution Date. The amount of Distributions payable for
any period shall include the Additional Amounts, if any.

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

     (b)  Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution
Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant
record date, which shall be the date 15 days prior to the relevant Distribution
Date (whether or not a Business Day).

SECTION 4.2.   Redemption.

     (a)  Upon the repayment or redemption at any time, in whole or in part of
any Debentures, the Trust will be required to redeem, subject to Section 4.3, a
Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that
the Trust may not redeem less than all of the Trust Securities then Outstanding
unless it has paid or pays on or prior to such Redemption Date all accumulated
and unpaid Distributions on all Trust Securities for all Distribution Periods
terminating on or prior thereto.

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

                                      17
<PAGE>

          (i)    the Redemption Date;

          (ii)   the Redemption Price;

          (iii)  the CUSIP number;

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

          (v)    that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become
due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that
Distributions thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date.

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

     (d)  If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any
Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on the Redemption Date,
with respect to Capital Securities held in book-entry form, the Property Trustee
will irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities,
only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the
Payment Account for the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and will give
such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
Redemption Price to the Holders thereof. With respect to Capital Securities held
in certificated form, the Property Trustee, by 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on the
Redemption Date will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, only to the
extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment
Account for the payment of the applicable Redemption Price and will give the
Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price
to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Capital Securities Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on any Distribution Date
falling on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for
redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they
appear on the Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the
relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of
redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the
date of such deposit, all rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities so
called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Securityholders to
receive the Redemption Price and any Distributions payable on or prior to the
Redemption Date, but without interest for any period from and after the
Redemption Date, on such Redemption Date and such Securities will cease to be
outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable
is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date
will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and
effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption
Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly
withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Depositor
pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on

                                      18
<PAGE>

such Trust Securities will continue to accrue, at the then applicable rate, from
the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust
Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the
actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.

     (e)  Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be made
to the recordholders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the
Trust Securities.

     (f)  Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust
Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate
Redemption Price of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a pro
rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities then
Outstanding and the Capital Securities then Outstanding. The particular Capital
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis (based upon
Liquidation Amounts) not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously called
for redemption, by such method (including, without limitation, by lot) as the
Property Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the
selection for redemption of portions (equal to $__ or an integral multiple of
$__ in excess thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities of a
denomination larger than $__. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the
Security Registrar in writing of the Capital Securities selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Capital Securities selected for partial redemption, the
Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust
Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
redemption of Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital
Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities that has been or is to be
redeemed.

     (g)  If allowed under the applicable law, including without limitation
United States federal securities law, the Depositor or it subsidiaries (other
than the Trust) may at any time, and from time to time purchase Capital
Securities then Outstanding by tender, in the open market or by private
agreement; provided, however that neither the Depositor nor any of its
subsidiaries shall have this right during an Extension Period.

SECTION 4.3.   Subordination of Common Securities.

     (a)  Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable)
on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be
made, subject to Section 4.2(f), pro rata among the Common Securities then
Outstanding and the Capital Securities then Outstanding based on the Liquidation
Amounts of the Common Securities then Outstanding and the Capital Securities
then Outstanding; provided, however, that if (i) a Debenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing as a result of any failure by the
Depositor to pay any amounts in respect of the Debentures when due, or (ii) the
Trust is dissolved or liquidated and (A) funds available to the Trust are
insufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Distribution payable on all
Outstanding Trust Securities or, (B) a Like Amount of Debentures are distributed
to Securityholders upon such dissolution or liquidation in accordance with
Article IX herein and the Holders of Capital Securities do not receive the full
amount of Debentures to which they are entitled, then no payment of any
Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or applicable
Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of

                                      19
<PAGE>

the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be
made unless (1) payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid
Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all Outstanding
Capital Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto,
and in the case of payment of the applicable Redemption Price, the full payment
in cash of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then
called for redemption, shall have been made or provided for, or (2) the Trust is
dissolved or liquidated and the aggregate Liquidation Amount on all Capital
Securities then Outstanding, plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon
shall have been made or provided for in cash or, in the event a Like Amount of
Debentures are distributed to Holders of Capital Securities upon such
liquidation or dissolution in accordance with Article IX herein, the
distribution to each Holder of Capital Securities of such Like Amount of
Debentures to which such holder is entitled shall have been made or duly
provided for.

     (b)  All funds available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to
the payment in full in cash of all Distributions on, or the Redemption Price or
Liquidation Amount (plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions) of, Capital
Securities then due and payable (including Additional Amounts, if applicable)
or, in the event a Like Amount of Debentures are distributed to Securityholders
upon dissolution or liquidation of the Trust, the Debentures available to the
Property Trustee shall first be distributed to Holders of Capital Securities.

     (c)  In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from
any Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of Common Securities will be deemed
to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under
this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect
to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until
all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the
Capital Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the
Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital
Securities and not on behalf of the Holder of the Common Securities, and only
the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property
Trustee to act on their behalf.

SECTION 4.4.   Payment Procedures.

     Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) in
respect of the Capital Securities shall be made at the Property Trustee's option
either by wire transfer or check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the
Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be
made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds, which shall credit
the relevant Persons' accounts at such Clearing Agency on the applicable
Distribution Dates and Redemption Dates. Payments in respect of the Common
Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the
Property Trustee and the Common Securityholder.

SECTION 4.5.   Tax Returns and Reports.

     The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the
Depositor's expense, and file all United States federal, state and local tax and
information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the
Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file
(or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service

                                      20
<PAGE>

form required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the
Trust and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to
each Securityholder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to be
provided on such form. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor
and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly
after such filing or furnishing. The Trustees shall comply with United States
federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting
requirements with respect to any payments to Securityholders under the Trust
Securities.

SECTION 4.6.   Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust.

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

SECTION 4.7.   Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

     Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities shall be
reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment that such Holder (and any
Owner with respect thereto) has directly received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the
Indenture or Section 5.14 of this Trust Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE V.

                         Trust Securities Certificates

SECTION 5.1.   Initial Ownership.

     Upon the formation of the Trust and the contribution by the Depositor
pursuant to Section 2.3 and until the issuance of the Trust Securities, and at
any time during which no Trust Securities are outstanding, the Depositor shall
be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.

SECTION 5.2.   The Trust Securities Certificates.

     The Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $__ Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $__ in excess
thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in denominations
of $__ Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The Trust Securities
Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual signature of at
least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the
manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be
validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did
not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a
Securityholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Securityholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust
Securities Certificate in such transferee's name pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.11
or 5.13.

     On the Closing Date, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust
Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in
Section 2.4, to be executed on behalf of the Trust and delivered to or upon the
written order of the Depositor, signed by its chief executive officer, its
president, any executive vice president or any vice president, treasurer or
assistant treasurer or controller without further corporate action by the
Depositor, in authorized denominations.

SECTION 5.4.   Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities
Certificates.

     The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a register or registers for the purpose of
registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital
Securities Certificates (the "Securities Register") in which, the registrar
designated by the Depositor (the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration
of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject
to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and
registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates as
herein provided. The Property Trustee shall be the initial Securities Registrar.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities
Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, the
Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital
Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate
Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or
Trustees.

     The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of
any Capital Securities that have been called for redemption. At the option of a
Holder, Capital Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Capital
Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a
like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Capital Securities
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 5.8.

     Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative Trustee and the
Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized
in writing. Each Capital Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by an
Administrative Trustee in accordance with such Person's customary practice. The
Trust shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange
any Capital Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
calendar days before the date of mailing of a notice of redemption of any
Capital Securities called for redemption and ending at the close business on the
day of such mailing or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Capital
Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any such Capital Securities being redeemed in part.

                                      22
<PAGE>

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

SECTION 5.5.   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities
Certificates.

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

SECTION 5.6.   Persons Deemed Securityholders.

     The Trustees or the Securities Registrar shall treat the Person in whose
name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities
Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of
receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the
contrary.

SECTION 5.7.   Access to List of Securityholders' Names and Addresses.

     At any time when the Property Trustee is not also acting as the Securities
Registrar, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Property Trustee (a) semi-annually on or before January 1
and July 1 in each year, a list, in such form as the Property Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Securityholders as of the
most recent Record Date and (b) promptly after receipt by any Administrative
Trustee or the Depositor of a request therefor from the Property Trustee, such
other information as the Property Trustee may reasonably require in order to
enable the Property Trustee to discharge its obligations under this Trust
Agreement, in each case to the extent such information is in the possession or
control of the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor and is not identical to
a previously supplied list or has not otherwise been received by the Property
Trustee in its capacity as Securities Registrar. The rights of Securityholders
to communicate with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under
this Trust Agreement or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights
of the Trustee shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. Each

                                      23
<PAGE>

Securityholder, by receiving and holding a Trust Securities Certificate, and
each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the
Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the
disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

SECTION 5.8.   Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Administrative Trustees shall maintain an office or offices or agency
or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The
Administrative Trustees initially designate the principal corporate trust office
of the Property Trustee, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, as
the principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Administrative
Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the
Securityholders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any
such office or agency. If Definitive Capital Securities Certificates are issued
to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13, so long as the Capital Securities remain
Outstanding in such form, the Depositor will at all times maintain an office or
offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates
may be served in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

SECTION 5.9.   Appointment of Paying Agent.

     The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Securityholders from the
Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have
the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose
of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in
their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its
obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent
shall initially be the Property Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by the
Property Trustee and acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the
Depositor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as
Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the
Property Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that the Property Trustee shall
no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its
authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a
successor that is acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Depositor to act as
Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Administrative
Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent
appointed by the Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees
an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent
or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to
the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Securityholders. The Paying Agent
shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a
Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to
the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall
apply to the Property Trustee also in its role as Paying

                                      24
<PAGE>

Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the
extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference
in this Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent
unless the context requires otherwise. If Definitive Capital Securities are
issued to Owners pursuant to section 5.13, so long as the Capital Securities
remain Outstanding in such form, the Depositor will at all times maintain a
Paying Agent for the Capital Securities in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New
York.

SECTION 5.10.  Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

     At the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and
record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, other than a transfer in connection with a consolidation or merger of the
Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the
Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture, any attempted transfer of the
Common Securities shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each
Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend
stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE".

SECTION 5.11.  Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates; Common Securities
Certificate.

     (a)  The Capital Securities Certificates, upon original issuance, will be
issued in the form of a typewritten Capital Securities Certificate or
Certificates representing Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, to be
delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or
on behalf of, the Trust. Such Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner will receive a
Definitive Capital Securities Certificate representing such Owner's interest in
such Capital Securities, except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until
Definitive Capital Securities Certificates have been issued to Owners pursuant
to Section 5.13:

          (i)    the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall be in full force
and effect;

          (ii)   the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustees
shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this
Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates
(including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the
Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates) and
shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof;

          (iii)  to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.11 conflict
with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 5.11 shall control; and

          (iv)   the rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificates shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be
limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners and the
Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the
Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.13, the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit

                                      25
<PAGE>

payments on the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants. Any
Clearing Agency designated pursuant hereto will not be deemed an agent of the
Trustee for any purpose.

     (b)  A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common
Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common
Securities Certificate.

SECTION 5.12.  Notices to Clearing Agency.

     To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Owners is
required under this Trust Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital
Securities Certificates shall have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section
5.13, the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified
herein to be given to Owners to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no
obligations to the Owners.

SECTION 5.13.  Definitive Capital Securities Certificates.

     If (a) the Clearing Agency (A) has notified the Depositor that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency with respect to the Book-
Entry Capital Securities Certificates or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Clearing Agency is required
by applicable law or regulation to be so registered to act as a clearing agency
and in each case the Depositor has not appointed a successor clearing agency
within 90 days of such notification or the Depositor becoming aware of the
Clearing Agency ceasing to be so registered, or (b) the Depositor in its sole
discretion determines that such Capital Securities Certificates will be so
exchangeable or transferable, then the Property Trustee shall notify the
Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificates and the other Trustees of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of the Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable. Upon surrender
to the Property Trustee of the typewritten Capital Securities Certificate or
Certificates representing the Book Entry Capital Securities Certificates by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative
Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither
the Securities Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Capital Securities Certificates as Securityholders. The Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates shall be engraved and executed in accordance
with the applicable rules of the Nasdaq National Market, the New York Stock
Exchange or such other national exchange or over-the-counter market on which the
Capital Securities are then listed for trading.

SECTION 5.14.  Rights of Securityholders.

     (a)  The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and
the Securityholders shall not have any right or title therein other than the
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their
Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below.
The Trust

                                      26
<PAGE>

Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set
forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no
preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Securityholders
against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and
nonassessable by the Trust. The Holders of the Trust Securities, in their
capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

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

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

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

               (A)  all overdue installments of interest (including any
Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) on all of the Debentures,

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

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

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

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive
any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of
principal or interest (unless such default has been cured or waived and a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due
otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or
a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot
be modified or amended

                                      27
<PAGE>

without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No such
rescission or waiver shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

     Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an
acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Capital
Securities all or part of which is represented by Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificates, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of
Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record
date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives
such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies,
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not
such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined
in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such
notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case
may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled
and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a
proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new
written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment
thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has
been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event
a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.14(b).

     (c)  For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the
fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement
and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a)
or 5.1(b) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the
right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to
Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the
principal amount of or interest on Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a "Direct
Action"). Except as set forth in Section 5.14(b) and this Section 5.14(c), the
Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right
or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                   Acts of Securityholders, Meetings, Voting

SECTION 6.1.   Limitations on Voting Rights.

     (a)  Except as provided in this Section, in Sections 5.14, 8.10 and 10.2
and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Capital
Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the
administration, operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of the
parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms
of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the
Securityholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

     (b)  So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the
Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or execute any
trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee or the

                                      28
<PAGE>

Property Trustee with respect to such Debentures, (ii) waive any past default
which is waivable under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right
to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of and interest on all the
Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such
consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval
of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding
Capital Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture
would require the consent of each Holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such
consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent
of each Holder of Capital Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action
previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Capital
Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Capital Securities.
The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any
notice of default received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the
Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of
the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the
Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel,
experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the
Trust to fail to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal
income tax purposes on account of that action.

     (c)  If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the
Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect
in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital
Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or
(ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than
pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding
Capital Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or
proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the
approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Outstanding Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a
result of such amendment, it would cause the Trust to fail to be classified as a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 6.2.   Notice of Meetings.

     Notice of all meetings of the Capital Securityholders, stating the time,
place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.9 to each Capital Securityholder of record, at his
registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the
meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so
considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned
meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

SECTION 6.3.   Meetings of Capital Securityholders.

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

                                      29
<PAGE>

     Holders of record of 50% of the Outstanding Capital Securities (based upon
their Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum at any meeting of Securityholders.

     If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Capital
Securityholders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding more than a
majority of the Capital Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) held by
the Capital Securityholders of record present, either in person or by proxy, at
such meeting shall constitute the action of the Capital Securityholders, unless
this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

SECTION 6.4.   Voting Rights.

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

SECTION 6.5.   Proxies, etc.

     At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholder entitled to vote
thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting
unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrative Trustees, or
with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrative Trustees may
direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken.
Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in
the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property
Trustee. Only Securityholders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust
Securities are held jointly by several Persons, any one of them may vote at any
meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more
than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and
such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be
cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A
proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Securityholder shall be
deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of
proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more
than three years after its date of execution.

SECTION 6.6.   Securityholder Action by Written Consent.

     Any action which may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be taken
without a meeting if Securityholders holding a majority of all Outstanding Trust
Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount) entitled to vote in
respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required
by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in
writing (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount).

SECTION 6.7.   Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

     For the purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to
notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in
any Distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is
not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any
other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a date, not
more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Securityholders or the

                                      30
<PAGE>

payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date
for the determination of the identity of the Securityholders of record for such
purposes.

SECTION 6.8.   Acts of Securityholders.

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

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

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

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

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

     If any dispute shall arise between the Securityholders and the
Administrative Trustees or among such Securityholders or Trustees with respect
to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand,
authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Securityholder or
Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the
Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

                                      31
<PAGE>

     A Securityholder may institute a legal proceeding directly against the
Depositor under the Guarantee to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without
first instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee (as defined
in the Guarantee), the Trust or any Person.

SECTION 6.9.   Inspection of Records.

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

                                 ARTICLE VII.

                        Representations and Warranties

SECTION 7.1.   Representations and Warranties of the Bank.

by the Bank and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other
parties thereto, constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of the Bank

notice or lapse of time, a default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of, any Lien on any properties included in the Trust Property
pursuant to the provisions of, any indenture, mortgage, credit agreement,

affect the Trust or would question the right, power and authority of the Bank to
enter into or perform its obligations as one of the Trustees under this Trust
Agreement.

SECTION 7.2.   Representations and Warranties of Depositor.

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

     (a)  the Trust Securities Certificates issued at the Closing Date on behalf
of the Trust have been duly authorized and will have been, duly and validly
executed, issued and delivered by the Trustees pursuant to the terms and
provisions of, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Trust Agreement
and the Securityholders will be, as of each such date, entitled to the benefits
of this Trust Agreement; and

     (b)  there are no taxes, fees or other governmental charges payable by the
Trust (or the Trustees on behalf of the Trust) under the laws of the State of
Delaware or any political subdivision thereof in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Bank, the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, of Bank, this Trust Agreement.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.

                                 The Trustees

SECTION 8.1.   Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     (a)  The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided
by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust
Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust
Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, unless
they are afforded reasonable indemnity against such risk or liability. Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to
the Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. No
Administrative Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be subject to any liability
under this Trust Agreement except for its own grossly negligent action, its own
grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. To the extent
that, at law or in equity, a Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the Securityholders, such
Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such
Trustee's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The
provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties
and liabilities of the Trustees otherwise existing at law or in

                                      33
<PAGE>

equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Securityholders to replace such
other duties and liabilities of the Trustees.

     (b)  All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect
of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from
the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue
or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying
Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Securityholder,
by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the
revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees are not personally
liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or
for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b)
does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in
this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust
Indenture Act.

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

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

          (ii)  the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Holders of the Trust Securities given in accordance with this
Trust Agreement relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

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

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

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

SECTION 8.2.   Certain Notices.

     (a)  Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property
Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section
10.9, notice of such Event of Default to the Securityholders, the Administrative
Trustees and the Depositor, unless the Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived. For purposes of this Section the term "Event of Default" means any event
that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, and Event of
Default.

     (b)  The Administrative Trustees shall transmit to the Securityholders, in
the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.9, notice of the Depositor's
election to begin or further extend an Extension Period on the Debentures
(unless such election shall have been revoked) within the time specified for
transmitting such notice to the holders of the Debentures pursuant to the
Indenture as originally executed.

SECTION 8.3.   Certain Rights of Property Trustee.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

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

     (b)  if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the
Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action or
(ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property
Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions
contained herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of
any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and except as to any matter as to which the Capital
Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement,
the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting written
instructions of the Depositor as to the course of action to be taken and the
Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as
the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from
taking, by the Depositor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does
not receive such instructions of the Depositor within ten Business Days after it
has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth
in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two
Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Securityholders, in which event the
Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith,
negligence or willful misconduct;

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

                                      35
<PAGE>

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

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

     (f)  the Property Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such
counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice, such counsel may be counsel
to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, but not an employee thereof; the
Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions
concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement from any court of
competent jurisdiction;

     (g)  the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or
direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless
such Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

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

     (i)  the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or
attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own
negligence or recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or attorney
appointed by it hereunder;

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

                                      36
<PAGE>

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

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

SECTION 8.4.   Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates
shall be taken as the statements of the Trust, and the Trustees do not assume
any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Debentures.

SECTION 8.5.   May Hold Securities.

     Any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust
Securities and, except as provided in the definition of the term "Outstanding"
in Article I and subject to Sections 8.8 and 8.13, may otherwise deal with the
Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee or such other
agent.

SECTION 8.6.   Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.

     The Depositor agrees:

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

     (b)  except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust
Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willfulness;
and

     (c)  to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and
hold harmless (i) each Trustee, (ii) any Affiliate of any Trustee, (iii) any
officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any
Trustee, and (iv) any employee or agent of the Trust or its Affiliates,
(referred to herein as an "Indemnified Person") from and against any loss,
damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature
whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the creation,
operation or dissolution of the Trust or any act or

                                      37
<PAGE>

omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf
of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be
within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Trust
Agreement, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified
in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by
reason of gross negligence (or ordinary negligence in the case of the Property
Trustee), bad faith or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or
omissions.

     The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this
Trust Agreement.

     No Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any Trust Property as a result
of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6.

     The Depositor and any Trustee may (subject to Section 8.8) 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 Trust Securities shall have no rights by
virtue of this Trust Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income
or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if
competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or
improper. Neither the Depositor, nor any 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 the Depositor or any 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 Trustee may
engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Depositor
or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or
agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other
obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates.

SECTION 8.7.   Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Trustees.

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

     (b)  There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee
shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal
entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that
entity.

     (c)  There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who
is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a
legal entity with its principal place of business in the

                                      38
<PAGE>

State of Delaware and that otherwise meets the requirements of applicable
Delaware law that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such
entity.

SECTION 8.8.   Conflicting Interests.

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

SECTION 8.9.   Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

     Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any
time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust
Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may
at the time be located, the Holder of the Common Securities and the
Administrative Trustees, by agreed action of the majority of such Trustees,
shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Administrative
Trustees, the Holder of the Common Securities shall for such purpose join with
the Administrative Trustees in the execution, delivery, and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons
approved by the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent
required by law to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case
with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to
vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title,
right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of
this Section. If the Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days
after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power to
make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to
this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of
age and a resident of the United States or (ii) a legal entity with its
principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or
more persons authorized to bind such entity.

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

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

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

     (b)  The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or
imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such
appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the
Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and

                                      39
<PAGE>

such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the
instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be
performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be
exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 8.10.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee") and no
appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee had been
made in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

     Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Common
Securityholder. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Trustee
required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant
Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Trust, any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

     Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any
Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Common Securityholder. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at such time by Act of the
Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, delivered
to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust).
In no event will the Holders of the Capital Securities have the right to vote to
appoint, remove or replace the Administrative Trustees. An Administrative
Trustee may be removed by the Common Securityholder at any time.

                                      40
<PAGE>

     If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as
Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for any cause,
at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common Securityholder
delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or
Trustees, and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements
of Section 8.11. If the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign,
be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Capital Securityholders, by
Act of the Securityholders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall
promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an
Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as
Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Common Securityholder by Act of the Common
Securityholder delivered to the Administrative Trustee shall promptly appoint a
successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees and such successor
Administrative Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements
of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed
by the Common Securityholder or the Capital Securityholders and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Securityholder who has
been a Securityholder of Trust Securities for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

     The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal
of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Securityholders
in the manner provided in Section 10.9 and shall give notice to the Depositor.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is
a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Depositor, incompetent
or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity
may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of the remaining Administrative Trustees
if there are at least two of them or (b) otherwise by the Depositor (with the
successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement
for Administrative Trustees or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth
in Section 8.7).

SECTION 8.11.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the
retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to
the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each
successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust and (b) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it

                                      41
<PAGE>

being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such
Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such
amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but,
on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant
Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant
Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring
Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust.

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

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

SECTION 8.12.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all
the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of
such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided 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.

SECTION 8.13.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or Trust.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
similar judicial proceeding relative to the Trust or any other obligor upon the
Trust Securities or the property of the Trust or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on
the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall
have made any demand on the Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions)
shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

     (b)  to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,

                                      42
<PAGE>

sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Property Trustee and, in
the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property
Trustee.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan

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

          (ii)  a statement that the Property Trustee has complied with all of
its obligations under this Trust Agreement during the twelve-month period (or,

material respect with such obligations, a description of such noncompliance; and

          (iii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as

such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust
Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times
and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

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

Trust Securities are listed or traded, with the Commission and with the
Depositor.

                      Dissolution, Liquidation and Merger

SECTION 9.1.   Dissolution Upon Expiration Date.

     Unless dissolved earlier, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on
September 15, 2029 (the "Expiration Date"), following the distribution of the
Trust Property in accordance with Section 9.4.

SECTION 9.2.   Early Dissolution.

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

     (a)  the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution
or liquidation of, the Depositor (or any other Holder of the Common Securities);

     (b)  the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Depositor at
any time before the 30th day before the Stated Maturity to dissolve the Trust
and distribute Debentures to Securityholders in exchange for a Like Amount of
the Capital Securities (which direction is subject to the Depositor's having
received (i) all required regulatory approvals and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
experienced in the following matters to the effect that such dissolution and
distribution will not cause the Holders to recognize income, gain or loss for
United States federal income tax purposes and will be subject to federal income
tax with respect to the Debentures on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if the Holders had remained
Securityholders);

     (c)  the redemption of all of the Capital Securities in connection with the
redemption of all the Debentures; and

     (d)  the entry of an order for dissolution of the Trust or the Depositor
(or any other Holder of the Common Securities) by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.3.   Dissolution.

     The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the
Trust created and continued hereby shall dissolve upon the latest to occur of
the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Securityholders
upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the
redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2, of all
amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of the Trust
Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust; and (c) the
discharge of all administrative duties of

                                      45
<PAGE>

the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting
obligations with respect to the Trust or the Securityholders, and (d) the filing
of a Certificate of Cancellation by the Administrative Trustee under the
Business Trust Act.

SECTION 9.4.   Liquidation.

     (a)  If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of
Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated by
the Trustees as expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be possible by
distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as
provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a Like Amount of Debentures,
subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property
Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid mailed not later than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at
such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of
liquidation shall:

          (i)   state the Liquidation Date;

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

          (iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which
Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for certificates representing
the Like Amount of the Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a
Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee
shall deem appropriate.

     (b)  Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the
liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to Securityholders,
the Administrative Trustees shall establish a record date for such distribution
(which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either
itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate
exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to
effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust
Securities Certificates.

     (c)  Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation
Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii)
certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be issued to holders
of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the
Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall
use its best efforts to have the Debentures listed on the New York Stock
Exchange or on such other exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-
regulatory organization on which the Capital Securities are then listed, (iv)
any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed
to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided
for in the Debentures from the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution
was made on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so
surrendered and (v) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities will
cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive a Like Amount of
Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates and to receive
accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures.

                                      46
<PAGE>

     (d)  In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the
manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be wound-
up or terminated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee
determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution of the Trust,
Securityholders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust
available for distribution to Securityholders, after satisfaction of liabilities
to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the
Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions
thereon to the date of payment (such amount due and payable upon liquidation of
the Trust, whether payable in cash or out of the assets of the Trust being the
"Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such winding up or termination, the
Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has
insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable
by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based
upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled
to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding-up or termination pro
rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Capital Securities, except that,
if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of
any failure by the Depositor to pay any amounts due in respect of the Debentures
when due or if funds available to the Trust are insufficient to pay in full the
Liquidation Distribution payable on all Outstanding Capital Securities, Holders
of the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Holders of Common
Securities.

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

     The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person,
except pursuant to this Section 9.5 or Section 9.4. At the request of the
Depositor, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the
consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities, the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, the Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or
be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the
laws of any State; provided, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly
assumes all of the obligations of the Trust with respect to the Trust Securities
or (b) substitutes for the Trust Securities other securities having
substantially the same terms as the Common Securities (the "Successor Common
Securities") and the Capital Securities (the "Successor Capital Securities") so
long as the Successor Common Securities are subordinated in right of payment to
the Successor Capital Securities to the same extent and in the same manner as
the Common Securities are subordinated in right of payment to the Capital
Securities, (ii) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor
entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the
holder of the Debentures, (iii) the Successor Capital Securities are listed or
traded, or any Successor Capital Securities will be listed upon notification of
issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the
Capital Securities are then listed or traded, if any, (iv) such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not
cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities) to be
downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization which
gives ratings to the Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital
Securities),

                                      47
<PAGE>

(v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer
or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the
holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities)
in any material respect, (vi) such successor entity has a purpose substantially
identical to that of the Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has
received an Opinion of Counsel, experienced in the following matters to the
effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences
and privileges of the holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor
Capital Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither
the Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an
investment company under the 1940 Act or will be classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and (viii) the
Depositor or the successor entity owns all of the Successor Common Securities of
such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity
under the Successor Capital Securities at least to the extent provided by the
Guarantee and under the Successor Common Securities at least to the extent
provided by the Common Securities Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trust shall not, except with the consent of holders of 100% in Liquidation
Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge
with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other Person or
permit any other Person to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or
replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance,
transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified
as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

                                  ARTICLE X.

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

Re:  DOWNEY FINANCIAL CAPITAL TRUST III __% Capital Securities

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The purpose of this letter is to set forth certain matters relating to the
issuance and deposit with The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") of the DOWNEY
FINANCIAL CAPITAL TRUST III __% Capital Securities, (the "Capital Securities"),
of DOWNEY FINANCIAL CAPITAL TRUST III, a Delaware business trust (the "Issuer"),
formed pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement between Downey
Financial Corp. ("Downey") and Wilmington Trust Company, as Property Trustee,
Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee, and the Administrative Trustees
named therein. The payment of distributions on the Capital Securities, and
payments due upon liquidation of the Issuer or redemption of the Capital
Securities, to the extent the Issuer has funds available for the payment thereof
are guaranteed by Downey to the extent set forth in a Capital Securities
Guarantee Agreement dated ____ __, 200_ by Downey with respect to the Capital
Securities. Downey and the Issuer propose to sell the Capital Securities to
certain Underwriters (the "Underwriters") pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement
dated ____ __, 200_ by and among the Underwriters, the Issuer and Downey , and
the Underwriters wish to take delivery of the Capital Securities through DTC.
Wilmington Trust Company is acting as transfer agent and registrar with respect
to the Capital Securities (the "Transfer Agent and Registrar").

     To induce DTC to accept the Trust Preferred Securities as eligible for
deposit at DTC, and to act in accordance with DTC's rules with respect to the
Capital Securities, the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and DTC agree
among each other as follows:

     1.   Prior to the closing of the sale of the Capital Securities to the
Underwriters, which is expected to occur on or about __________ __, 200_, there
shall be deposited with DTC one or more global certificates (individually and
collectively, the "Global Certificate") registered in the name of DTC's Capital
Securities nominee, Cede & Co., representing an aggregate of _________ Capital
Securities and bearing the following legend:

          Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized
          representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New
          York corporation ("DTC"), to the Issuer or its agent for
          registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any
          certificate issued is registered in

                                      B-1
<PAGE>

          the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
          requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and
          any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other
          entity as is requested by an authorized representative
          of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
          VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
          inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has
          an interest herein.

     2.   The Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Issuer provides for
the voting by holders of the Capital Securities under certain limited
circumstances. The Issuer shall establish a record date for such purposes and
shall, to the extent possible, give DTC notice of such record date not less than
15 calendar days in advance of such record date.

     3.   In the event of a stock split, conversion, recapitalization,
reorganization or any other similar transaction resulting in the cancellation of
all or any part of the Capital Securities outstanding, the Issuer or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar shall send DTC a notice of such event at least 5
business days prior to the effective date of such event.

     4.   In the event of distribution on, or an offering or issuance of rights
with respect to, the Capital Securities outstanding, the Issuer or the Transfer
Agent and Registrar shall send DTC a notice specifying: (a) the amount of and
conditions, if any, applicable to the payment of any such distribution or any
such offering or issuance of rights; (b) any applicable expiration or deadline
date, or any date by which any action on the part of the holders of Capital
Securities is required; and (c) the date any required notice is to be mailed by
or on behalf of the Issuer to holders of Capital Securities or published by or
on behalf of the Issuer (whether by mail or publication, the "Publication
Date"). Such notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means (e.g., legible
telecopy, registered or certified mail, overnight delivery) in a timely manner
designed to assure that such notice is in DTC's possession no later than the
close of business on the business day before the Publication Date. The Issuer or
the Transfer Agent and Registrar will forward such notice either in a separate
secure transmission for each CUSIP number or in a secure transmission of
multiple CUSIP numbers (if applicable) that includes a manifest or list of each
CUSIP number submitted in that transmission. (The party sending such notice
shall have a method to verify subsequently the use of such means and the
timeliness of such notice.) The Publication Date shall be not less than 30
calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the payment of any such
distribution or any such offering or issuance of rights with respect to the
Capital Securities. After establishing the amount of payment to be made on the
Capital Securities, the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar will notify
DTC's Dividend Department of such payment 5 business days prior to payment date.
Notices to DTC's Dividend Department by telecopy shall be sent to (212) 709-
1723. Such notices by mail or by any other means shall be sent to:

                                      B-2
<PAGE>

     The Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall confirm DTC's receipt
of such telecopy by telephoning the Dividend Department at (212) 709-1270.

     5.   In the event of a redemption by the Issuer of the Capital Securities,
notice specifying the terms of the redemption and the Publication Date of such
notice shall be sent by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar to DTC
not less than 30 calendar days prior to such event by a secure means in the
manner set forth in paragraph 4. Such redemption notice shall be sent to DTC's
Call Notification Department at (516) 227-4164 or (516) 227-4190, and receipt of
such notice shall be confirmed by telephoning (516) 227-4070. Notice by mail or
by any other means shall be sent to:

          Call Notification Department
          The Depository Trust Company
          711 Stewart Avenue
          Garden City, New York 11530-4719

     6.   In the event of any invitation to tender the Capital Securities,
notice specifying the terms of the tender and the Publication Date of such
notice shall be sent by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar to DTC by
a secure means and in a timely manner as described in paragraph 4. Notices to
DTC pursuant to this paragraph and notices of other corporate actions (including
mandatory tenders, exchanges and capital changes) shall be sent, unless
notification to another department is expressly provided for herein, by telecopy
to DTC's Reorganization Department at (212) 709-1093 or (212) 709-1094 and
receipt of such notice shall be confirmed by telephoning (212) 709-6884, or by
mail or any other means to:

          Manager, Reorganization Department
          Reorganization Window
          The Depository Trust Company
          7 Hanover Square, 23rd Floor
          New York, New York 10004-2695

     7.   All notices and payment advices sent to DTC shall contain the CUSIP
number or numbers of the Capital Securities and the accompanying designation of
the Capital Securities, which, as of the date of this letter, is "DOWNEY
FINANCIAL CAPITAL TRUST III __% Capital Securities.

     8.   Distribution payments or other cash payments with respect to the
Capital Securities evidenced by the Global Certificate shall be received by Cede
& Co., as nominee of DTC, or its registered assigns in next day funds on each
payment date (or in accordance with existing arrangements between the Issuer or
the Transfer Agent and Registrar and DTC). Such payments shall be made payable
to the order of Cede & Co., and shall be addressed as follows:

          NDFS Redemption Department
          The Depository Trust Company
          7 Hanover Square, 23rd Floor
          New York, New York 10004-2695

                                      B-3
<PAGE>

     9.   DTC may by prior written notice direct the Issuer and the Transfer
Agent and Registrar to use any other telecopy number or address of DTC as the
number or address to which notices or payments may be sent.

     10.  In the event of a conversion, redemption, or any other similar
transaction (e.g., tender made and accepted in response to the Issuer's or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar's invitation) necessitating a reduction in the
aggregate number of Capital Securities outstanding evidenced by Global
Certificates, DTC, in its discretion: (a) may request the Issuer or the Transfer
Agent and Registrar to issue and countersign a new Global Certificate; or (b)
may make an appropriate notation on the Global Certificate indicating the date
and amount of such reduction.

     11.  DTC may discontinue its services as a securities depositary with
respect to the Capital Securities at any time by giving at least 90 days' prior
written notice to the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar (at which time
DTC will confirm with the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar the
aggregate number of Trust Preferred Securities deposited with it) and
discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.
Under such circumstances, the Issuer may determine to make alternative
arrangements for book-entry settlement for the Capital Securities, make
available one or more separate global certificates evidencing Capital Securities
to any Participant having Capital Securities credited to its DTC account, or
issue definitive Capital Securities to the beneficial holders thereof, and in
any such case, DTC agrees to cooperate fully with the Issuer and the Transfer
Agent and Registrar, and to return the Global Certificate, duly endorsed for
transfer as directed by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, together
with any other documents of transfer reasonably requested by the Issuer or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar.

     12.  In the event that the Issuer determines that beneficial owners of
Capital Securities shall be able to obtain definitive Capital Securities, the
Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall notify DTC of the availability
of certificates. In such event, the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar
shall issue, transfer and exchange certificates in appropriate amounts, as
required by DTC and others, and DTC agrees to cooperate fully with the Issuer
and the Transfer Agent and Registrar and to return the Global Certificate, duly
endorsed for transfer as directed by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and
Registrar, together with any other documents of transfer reasonably requested by
the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar.

     13.  This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

                                      B-4

     Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Transfer Agent and Registrar
to advance funds on behalf of DOWNEY FINANCIAL CAPITAL TRUST III.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   DOWNEY FINANCIAL CAPITAL TRUST III
