                                    (I)      after any Event of Default (of
                           which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as
                           provided in Section 2.10(m) hereof)) (provided, that
                           such Event of Default is not by or with respect to
                           the Institutional Trustee), the taking of any action
                           incidental to the foregoing as the Institutional
                           Trustee may from time to time determine is necessary
                           or advisable to give effect to the terms of this
                           Declaration and protect and conserve the Trust
                           Property for the benefit of the Holders (without
                           consideration of the effect of any such action on any
                           particular Holder);

                                    (J)      to take all action that may be
                           necessary or appropriate for the preservation and the
                           continuation of the Trust's valid existence, rights,
                           franchises and privileges as a statutory trust under
                           the laws of the State of Delaware to protect the
                           limited liability of the Holders of the Capital
                           Securities or to enable the Trust to effect the
                           purposes for which the Trust was created; and

                                    (K)      to undertake any actions set forth
                           in Section 317(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

                           (iii)    The Institutional Trustee shall have the
                  power and authority, and is hereby authorized, to act on
                  behalf of the Trust with respect to any of the duties,
                  liabilities, powers or the authority of the Administrators set
                  forth in Section 2.6(a)(i)(E) and (F) herein but shall not
                  have a duty to do any such act unless specifically requested
                  to do so in writing by the Sponsor, and shall then be fully
                  protected in acting pursuant to such written request; and in
                  the event of a conflict between the action of the
                  Administrators and the action of the Institutional Trustee,
                  the action of the Institutional Trustee shall prevail.

                  (b)      So long as this Declaration remains in effect, the
Trust (or the Trustees or Administrators acting on behalf of the Trust) shall
not undertake any business, activities or transaction except as expressly
provided herein or contemplated hereby. In particular, neither the Trustees nor
the Administrators may cause the Trust to (i) acquire any investments or engage
in any activities not authorized by this Declaration, (ii) sell, assign,
transfer, exchange, mortgage, pledge, set-off or otherwise dispose of any of the
Trust Property or interests therein, including to Holders, except as expressly
provided herein, (iii) take any action that would cause (or in the case of the
Institutional Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer would
cause) the Trust to fail or cease to qualify as a "grantor trust" for United
States federal income tax purposes, (iv) incur any indebtedness for borrowed
money or issue any other debt or (v) take or consent to any action that would
result in the placement of a lien on any of the Trust Property. The
Institutional Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Trust, defend
all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any lien on any of
the Trust Property adverse to the interest of the Trust or the Holders in their
capacity as Holders.

                  (c)      In connection with the issuance and sale of the
Capital Securities, the Sponsor 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 Sponsor in furtherance of the following
prior to the date of this Declaration are hereby ratified and confirmed in all
respects):

                           (i)      the taking of any action necessary to obtain
                  an exemption from the Securities Act;

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

                           (iii)    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
Administrators, the Institutional Trustee and the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized and directed to
conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the Trust so that (i) the Trust
will not be deemed to be an "investment company" required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act (in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer), and (ii) the Trust will not fail to
be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes
(in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer) and (iii) the Trust will not take any action inconsistent
with the treatment of the Debentures as indebtedness of the Debenture Issuer for
United States federal income tax purposes (in the case of the Institutional
Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer). In this connection,
the Institutional Trustee, the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable
laws or this Declaration, as amended from time to time, that each of the
Institutional Trustee, the Administrators and such Holders determine in their
discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes, even if such action
adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

                  (e)      All expenses incurred by the Administrators or the
Trustees pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be reimbursed by the Sponsor, and
the Trustees shall have no obligations with respect to such expenses.

                  (f)      The assets of the Trust shall consist of the Trust
Property.

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

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

         SECTION 2.7. Prohibition of Actions by the Trust and the Trustees. The
Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee and the Administrators shall not,
and the Administrators shall cause the Trust not to, engage in any activity
other than as required or authorized by this Declaration. In particular, the
Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee and the Administrators shall not
cause the Trust to:

                  (a)      invest any proceeds received by the Trust from
holding the Debentures, but shall distribute all such proceeds to Holders of the
Securities pursuant to the terms of this Declaration and of the Securities;

                  (b)      acquire any assets other than as expressly provided
herein;

                  (c)      possess Trust Property for other than a Trust
purpose;

                  (d)      make any loans or incur any indebtedness other than
loans represented by the Debentures;

                  (e)      possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as
to vary the Trust Property or the terms of the Securities;

                  (f)      issue any securities or other evidences of beneficial
ownership of, or beneficial interest in, the Trust other than the Securities; or

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

                  (g)      other than as provided in this Declaration (including
Annex I), (i) direct the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive
any past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right
to rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of 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 unless the Trust shall have received a written opinion of counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that such amendment, modification or
termination will not cause the Trust to cease to be classified as a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

         SECTION 2.8. Powers and Duties of the Institutional Trustee.

                  (a)      The legal title to the Debentures shall be owned by
and held of record in the name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Trust. The right, title and interest of the Institutional Trustee
to the Debentures shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be
appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 4.7. Such vesting
and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
with regard to the Debentures have been executed and delivered.

                  (b)      The Institutional Trustee shall not transfer its
right, title and interest in the Debentures to the Administrators or to the
Delaware Trustee.

                  (c)      The Institutional Trustee shall:

                           (i)      establish and maintain a segregated
                  non-interest bearing trust account (the "Property Account") in
                  the United States (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section
                  301.7701-7), in the name of and under the exclusive control of
                  the Institutional Trustee, and maintained in the Institutional
                  Trustee's trust department, on behalf of the Holders of the
                  Securities and, upon the receipt of payments of funds made in
                  respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee,
                  deposit such funds into the Property Account and make payments
                  to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders of the
                  Common Securities from the Property Account in accordance with
                  Section 5.1. Funds in the Property Account shall be held
                  uninvested until disbursed in accordance with this
                  Declaration;

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

                           (iii)    upon written notice of distribution issued
                  by the Administrators in accordance with the terms of the
                  Securities, engage in such ministerial activities as shall be
                  necessary or appropriate to effect the distribution of the
                  Debentures to Holders of Securities upon the occurrence of
                  certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of the Securities.

                  (d)      The Institutional Trustee shall take all actions and
perform such duties as may be specifically required of the Institutional Trustee
pursuant to the terms of the Securities.

                                      -15-

                  (e)      The Institutional Trustee may bring or defend, pay,
collect, compromise, arbitrate, resort to legal action with respect to, or
otherwise adjust claims or demands of or against, the Trust (a "Legal Action")
which arise out of or in connection with an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee has actual knowledge or the
Institutional Trustee's duties and obligations under this Declaration or the
Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture
Issuer to pay interest or principal on the Debentures on the date such interest
or principal is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the
redemption date), then a Holder of the Capital Securities may directly institute
a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the principal of or
interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a "Direct Action")
on or after the respective due date specified in the Debentures. In connection
with such Direct Action, the rights of the Holders of the Common Securities will
be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of the Capital Securities to the
extent of any payment made by the Debenture Issuer to such Holder of the Capital
Securities in such Direct Action; provided, however, that a Holder of the Common
Securities may exercise such right of subrogation only if no Event of Default
with respect to the Capital Securities has occurred and is continuing.

                  (f)      The Institutional Trustee shall continue to serve as
a Trustee until either:

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

                           (ii)     a Successor Institutional Trustee has been
                  appointed and has accepted that appointment in accordance with
                  Section 4.7.

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

                  (h)      The Institutional Trustee must exercise the powers
set forth in this Section 2.8 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes
and functions of the Trust set out in Section 2.3, and the Institutional Trustee
shall not take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions
of the Trust set out in Section 2.3.

         SECTION 2.9. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees and
the Administrators.

                  (a)      The Institutional Trustee, before the occurrence of
any Event of Default (of which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as
provided in Section 2.10(m) hereof)) and after the curing of all Events of
Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Declaration and no implied covenants shall be
read into this Declaration against the Institutional Trustee. In case an Event
of Default (of which the

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 2.10(m) hereof)),
has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.8), the
Institutional Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

                  (c)      All payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a
Paying Agent in respect of the 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
Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the
terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a 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 and the Administrators are not personally liable to it for any amount
distributable in respect of any Security or for any other liability in respect
of any Security. This Section 2.9(c) does not limit the liability of the
Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Declaration or, in the case of
the Institutional Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

                  (d)      No provision of this Declaration shall be construed
to relieve the Institutional Trustee from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct with
respect to matters that are within the authority of the Institutional Trustee
under this Declaration, except that:

                           (i)      the Institutional Trustee shall not be
                  liable for any error or judgment made in good faith by an
                  Authorized Officer of the Institutional

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

                  Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Institutional
                  Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

                           (ii)     the Institutional Trustee shall not be
                  liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken
                  by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
                  Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of
                  the Capital Securities or the Common Securities, as
                  applicable, relating to the time, method and place of
                  conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
                  Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
                  conferred upon the Institutional Trustee under this
                  Declaration;

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

                           (iv)     the Institutional Trustee shall not be
                  liable for any interest on any money received by it except as
                  it may otherwise agree in writing with the Sponsor; and money
                  held by the Institutional Trustee need not be segregated from
                  other funds held by it except in relation to the Property
                  Account maintained by the Institutional Trustee pursuant to
                  Section 2.8(c)(i) and except to the extent otherwise required
                  by law; and

                           (v)      the Institutional Trustee shall not be
                  responsible for monitoring the compliance by the
                  Administrators or the Sponsor with their respective duties
                  under this Declaration, nor shall the Institutional Trustee be
                  liable for any default or misconduct of the Administrators or
                  the Sponsor.

         SECTION 2.10. Certain Rights of Institutional Trustee. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.9.

                  (a)      the Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and
shall fully be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon
any resolution, written opinion of counsel, certificate, written representation
of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, 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, sent or
presented by the proper party or parties;

                  (b)      if (i) in performing its duties under this
Declaration, the Institutional Trustee is required to decide between alternative
courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Declaration,
the Institutional Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any
other provisions contained herein, or (iii) the Institutional Trustee is unsure
of the application of any provision of this Declaration, then, except as to any

or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person, except
as described in this Section 2.15 and except with respect to the distribution of

Declaration or Section 4 of Annex I.

                  (b)      The Trust may, with the consent of the Administrators
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and without the consent of the
Institutional Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Holders of the 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 a trust organized as such under the laws of any
state; provided, that:

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

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

                                    (B)      substitutes for the Securities
                           other securities having substantially the same terms
                           as the Securities (the "Successor Securities")

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

                           so that the Successor Securities rank the same as the
                           Securities rank with respect to Distributions and
                           payments upon Liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

                           (ii)     the Sponsor expressly appoints, as the
                  holder of the Common Securities, a trustee of the Successor
                  Entity that possesses the same powers and duties as the
                  Institutional Trustee;

                           (iii)    the Capital Securities or any Successor
                  Securities (excluding any securities substituted for the
                  Common Securities) are listed or quoted, or any Successor
                  Securities will be listed or quoted upon notification of
                  issuance, on any national securities exchange or with another
                  organization on which the Capital Securities are then listed
                  or quoted, if any;

                           (iv)     such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
                  replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the
                  Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be
                  downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating
                  organization, if the Capital Securities are then rated;

                           (v)      such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
                  replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
                  affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders
                  of the Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any
                  material respect (other than with respect to any dilution of
                  such Holders' interests in the Successor Entity as a result of
                  such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement);

                           (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
                  Trust has received a written opinion of a nationally
                  recognized independent counsel to the Trust experienced in
                  such matters to the effect that:

                                    (A)      such merger, consolidation,
                           amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
                           lease does not adversely affect the rights,
                           preferences and privileges of the Holders of the
                           Securities (including any Successor Securities) in
                           any material respect (other than with respect to any
                           dilution of the Holders' interests in the Successor
                           Entity);

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

                                    (C)      following such merger,
                           consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
                           transfer or lease, the Trust (or the Successor

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

                           Entity) will continue to be classified as a grantor
                           trust for United States federal income tax purposes;

                           (viii)   the Sponsor guarantees the obligations of
                  such Successor Entity under the Successor Securities to the
                  same extent provided by the Guarantee, the Debentures and this
                  Declaration; and

                           (ix)     prior to such merger, consolidation,
                  amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the
                  Institutional Trustee shall have received an Officers'
                  Certificate of the Administrators and an opinion of counsel,
                  each to the effect that all conditions precedent of this
                  paragraph (b) to such transaction have been satisfied.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding Section 2.15(b), the Trust shall not,
except with the consent of Holders of 100% in liquidation amount of the
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 Successor Entity to be classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

Capital Securities, as requested by the Holders of not less than a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities; and

                  (c)      to negotiate the terms of and/or execute and deliver

one Trustee (the "Delaware Trustee") shall be:

                  (a)      a natural person who is a resident of the State of

                  (b)      Subject to Section 4.7(a), a Relevant Trustee may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of the
Securities and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. Upon the resignation
of the Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall appoint a
successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility
requirements their expenses and charges to serve as the successor Institutional
Trustee on a form provided by the Administrators, and selecting the Person who
agrees to the lowest expense and charges (the "Successor Institutional

required by this Section 4.7 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant
Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or
delivery of the instrument of removal, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the

Relevant Trustee. The Institutional Trustee shall have no liability for the
selection of such successor pursuant to this Section 4.7.

                  (c)      Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by an act of the Holders of a
Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities. If any Trustee shall be
so removed, the Holders of the Common Securities, by act of the Holders of a
Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities delivered to the
Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee, and such
successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section
4.7. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed
by the 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). If any Trustee shall be so removed, the Holders of Capital
Securities, by act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities then outstanding delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall
promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.7. If no
successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of a
Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities and accepted
appointment in the manner required by this Section 4.7 within 30 days after
delivery of an instrument of removal, the Relevant Trustee or any Holder who has
been a Holder of the Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any federal, state or
District of Columbia court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or
Trustees.

                  (d)      The Institutional Trustee shall give notice of each
resignation and each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor
Trustee to all Holders and to the Sponsor. Each notice shall include the name of
the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if
it is the Institutional Trustee.

                  (e)      Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision
of this Declaration, in the event a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person
dies or is adjudged by a court to have become incompetent or incapacitated, the
vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the
Institutional Trustee (provided the Institutional Trustee satisfies the
requirements of a Delaware Trustee as set forth in Section 4.2) following the
procedures in this Section 4.7 (with the successor being a Person who satisfies
the eligibility requirement for a Delaware Trustee set forth in this
Declaration) (the "Successor Delaware Trustee").

                  (f)      In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant
Trustee with respect to the 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 Securities and the Trust and (b) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Declaration as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it
being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such
Relevant

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

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 Securities and the Trust
subject to the payment of all unpaid fees, expenses and indemnities of such
retiring Relevant Trustee.

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

                  (h)      The Holders of the Capital Securities will have no
right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting
rights are vested exclusively in the Holders of the Common Securities.

                  (i)      Any successor Delaware Trustee shall file an
amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware identifying the name and principal place of business of such
Delaware Trustee in the State of Delaware.

         SECTION 4.8. Vacancies Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold
office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
Section 4.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 4.1,
a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by
the Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Trustees shall be
conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be
filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 4.7.

         SECTION 4.9. Effect of Vacancies. The death, resignation, retirement,
removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to
perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to dissolve, terminate or
annul the Trust or terminate this Declaration. Whenever a vacancy in the number
of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a
Trustee in accordance with Section 4.7, the Institutional Trustee shall have all
the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed
upon the Trustees by this Declaration.

         SECTION 4.10. Meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators. Meetings
of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be held from time to time upon the
call of any Trustee or Administrator, as applicable. Regular meetings of the
Trustees and the Administrators, respectively, may be in person in the United
States or by telephone, at a place (if applicable) and time fixed by resolution
of the Trustees or the Administrators, as applicable. Notice of any in-person
meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be hand delivered or
otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by
overnight courier) not less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any
telephonic meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators or any committee
thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by
facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

before a meeting. Notices shall contain a brief statement of the time, place and
anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person or by
telephone) of a Trustee or an Administrator, as the case may be, at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee or an
Administrator, as the case may be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has
not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this
Declaration, any action of the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may
be, may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees or the
Administrators present (whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote
with respect to such matter; provided, that, in the case of the Administrators,
a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of
the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be. Meetings of the Trustees
and the Administrators together shall be held from time to time upon the call of
any Trustee or Administrator.

         SECTION 4.11. Delegation of Power.

                  (a)      Any Trustee or any Administrator, as the case may be,
may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other
natural person over the age of 21 that is a U.S. Person his or her power for the
purpose of executing any documents, instruments or other writings contemplated
in Section 2.6.

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

         SECTION 4.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any Person into which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case maybe, may be merged or converted or with which either may
be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the
case may be, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially
all the corporate trust business of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the successor of the Institutional Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article and, provided, further, that such Person shall file an amendment to the
Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as
contemplated in Section 4.7(i).

                                   ARTICLE V
                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

         SECTION 5.1. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions in
accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's Securities.
Distributions shall be made on the Capital Securities and the Common Securities
in accordance with the preferences set forth in their respective terms. If and
to the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment of interest (including
any Additional Interest or Deferred Interest) and/or principal on the Debentures
held

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

by the Institutional Trustee (the amount of any such payment being a "Payment
Amount"), the Institutional Trustee shall and is directed, to the extent funds
are available in the Property Account for that purpose, to make a distribution
(a "Distribution") of the Payment Amount to Holders. For the avoidance of doubt,
funds in the Property Account shall not be distributed to Holders to the extent
of any taxes payable by the Trust, in the case of withholding taxes, as
determined by the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent and, in the case of
taxes other than withholding tax taxes, as determined by the Administrators in a
written notice to the Institutional Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

         SECTION 6.1. General Provisions Regarding Securities.

                  (a)      The Administrators shall on behalf of the Trust issue
one series of capital securities, evidenced by a certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit A-1, representing undivided beneficial interests in the
assets of the Trust and having such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the
"Capital Securities"), and one series of common securities, evidenced by a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, representing undivided
beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust and having such terms as are set
forth in Annex I (the "Common Securities"). The Trust shall issue no securities
or other interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Capital Securities
and the Common Securities. The Capital Securities rank pari passu and payment
thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the Common Securities except that, where an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the
Common Securities to payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon
liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment
of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

                  (b)      The Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the
Trust by one or more Administrators. Such signature shall be the facsimile or
manual signature of any Administrator. In case any Administrator of the Trust
who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such Administrator
before the Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such
Certificates nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such
Certificates had not ceased to be such Administrator. Any Certificate may be
signed on behalf of the Trust by such person who, at the actual date of
execution of such Security, shall be an Administrator of the Trust, although at
the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was
not such an Administrator. A Capital Security shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of an Authorized Officer of the
Institutional Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the
Capital Security has been authenticated under this Declaration. Upon written
order of the Trust signed by one Administrator, the Institutional Trustee shall
authenticate the Capital Securities for original issue. The Institutional
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that is a U.S. Person acceptable to
the Trust to authenticate the Capital Securities. A Common Security need not be
so authenticated and shall be valid upon execution by one or more
Administrators.

                  (c)      The Capital Securities issued pursuant to Regulations
of the Securities Act or to QIBs shall be, except as provided in Section 6.4,
Book-Entry Capital Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Capital
Securities registered in the name of the Depositary, or its

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

nominee and deposited with the Depositary or a custodian for the Depositary for
credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the Depositary
Participants thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct).

                  (d)      Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this
Declaration, the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, and each Holder thereof shall be entitled to the
benefits provided by this Declaration.

                  (e)      Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder in
accordance with the terms of this Declaration, shall be deemed to have expressly
assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this Declaration and
the Guarantee.

         SECTION 6.2. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Calculation Agent and
Registrar.

                  (a)      The Trust shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an
office or agency where the Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying
Agent"), and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or exchange (the "Transfer Agent"). The Trust shall
keep or cause to be kept at such office or agency a register for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities, such register
to be held by a registrar (the "Registrar"). The Administrators may appoint the
Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent, and may appoint one or more
additional Paying Agents, one or more co-Registrars, or one or more co-Transfer
Agents in such other locations as it shall determine. The term "Paying Agent"
includes any additional Paying Agent, the term "Registrar" includes any
additional Registrar or co-Registrar and the term "Transfer Agent" includes any
additional Transfer Agent or co-Transfer Agent. The Administrators may change
any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar at any time without prior notice
to any Holder. The Administrators shall notify the Institutional Trustee of the
name and address of any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar not a party
to this Declaration. The Administrators hereby initially appoint the
Institutional Trustee to act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for
the Capital Securities and the Common Securities at its Corporate Trust Office.
The Institutional Trustee or any of its Affiliates in the United States may act
as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

                  (b)      The Trust shall also appoint a Calculation Agent,
which shall determine the Coupon Rate in accordance with the terms of the
Securities. The Trust initially appoints the Institutional Trustee as
Calculation Agent.

         SECTION 6.3. Form and Dating.

                  (a)      The Capital Securities and the Institutional
Trustee's certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-1, and the Common Securities shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-2, each of which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made
a part of this Declaration. Certificates may be typed, printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Administrators, as conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. The
Securities may have letters, numbers, notations or other marks of identification
or designation and such legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange
rule, agreements to which the Trust is subject, if

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

any, or usage (provided, that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a
form acceptable to the Sponsor). The Trust at the direction of the Sponsor shall
furnish any such legend not contained in Exhibit A-1 to the Institutional
Trustee in writing. Each Capital Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The terms and provisions of the Securities set forth in Annex I
and the forms of Securities set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 are part of the
terms of this Declaration and to the extent applicable, the Institutional
Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Administrators and the Sponsor, by their
execution and delivery of this Declaration, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby. Capital Securities will be issued only in
blocks having a stated liquidation amount of not less than $100,000.

                  (b)      The Capital Securities are being offered and sold by
the Trust pursuant to the Placement Agreement in definitive form, registered in
the name of the Holder thereof, without coupons and with the Restricted
Securities Legend.

         SECTION 6.4. Book-Entry Capital Securities. A Global Capital Security
may be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates registered in the names of Owners only if such exchange complies
with Article VIII and (i) the Depositary advises the Administrators and the
Institutional Trustee in writing that the Depositary is no longer willing or
able properly to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Global
Capital Security, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Administrators
within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice, (ii) the Depositary ceases to
be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Administrators
fail to appoint a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of obtaining
knowledge of such event, (iii) the Administrators at their option advise the
Institutional Trustee in writing that the Trust elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Indenture Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in
clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Administrators shall notify the
Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all Owners of Book-Entry
Capital Securities and the Institutional Trustee of the occurrence of such event
and of the availability of Definitive Capital Securities Certificates to Owners
of the Capital Securities requesting the same. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates, the Administrators and the Institutional
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates as Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Owner of a
beneficial interest in a Global Capital Security wishes at any time to transfer
an interest in such Global Capital Security to a Person other than a QIB, such
transfer shall be effected, subject to the Applicable Depository Procedures, in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4 and Article VIII, and the
transferee shall receive a Definitive Capital Securities Certificate in
connection with such transfer. A holder of a Definitive Capital Securities
Certificate that is a QIB may upon request, and in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.4 and Article VIII, exchange such Definitive
Capital Securities Certificate for a beneficial interest in a Global Capital
Security.

         If any Global Capital Security is to be exchanged for Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates or canceled in part, or if any Definitive
Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for any
Global Capital Security, then either (i) such Global Capital Security shall be
so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Section 6.4 and
Article VIII or (ii) the aggregate liquidation amount represented by such Global
Capital Security shall be reduced, subject to Section 6.3, or increased by an
amount equal to the liquidation amount represented by that portion of the Global
Capital Security to be so exchanged or

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

canceled, or equal to the liquidation amount represented by such Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates to be so exchanged for any Global Capital
Security, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the
records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Institutional Trustee, in
accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures, shall instruct the
Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment
to its records. Upon any such surrender to the Administrators or the Registrar
of any Global Capital Security or Securities by the Depositary, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Administrators, or any one of them, shall execute
the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the
instructions of the Depositary. None of the Registrar, Administrators, or the
Institutional Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in
relying on, such instructions.

         Every Definitive Capital Securities Certificate executed and delivered
upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global
Capital Security or any portion thereof shall be executed and delivered in the
form of, and shall be, a Global Capital Security, unless such Definitive Capital
Securities Certificate is registered in the name of a Person other than the
Depositary for such Global Capital Security or a nominee thereof.

         The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Capital
Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Capital Security for all purposes
under this Declaration and the Global Capital Security, and Owners with respect
to a Global Capital Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the
Applicable Depositary Procedures. The Registrar, the Administrators and the
Institutional Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all
purposes of this Declaration relating to the Global Capital Securities
(including the payment of the liquidation amount of and Distributions on the
Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby and the giving of instructions
or directions by Owners of Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby and
the giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Capital Securities
represented thereby and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. None of
the Administrators, the Institutional Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any
liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary.

         The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established
by law, the Applicable Depositary Procedures and agreements between such Owners
and the Depositary and/or the Depositary Participants; provided, solely for the
purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount of Capital
Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Declaration, to the
extent that Capital Securities are represented by a Global Capital Security, the
Administrators and the Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall
be fully protected in relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy)
delivered to the Institutional Trustee by the Depositary setting forth the
Owners' votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons
either in whole or in part. To the extent that Capital Securities are
represented by a Global Capital Security, the initial Depositary will make
book-entry transfers among the Depositary Participants and receive and transmit
payments on the Capital Securities that are represented by a Global Capital
Security to such Depositary Participants, and none of the Sponsor, the
Administrators or the Institutional Trustee shall have any responsibility or
obligation with respect thereto.

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

         To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Declaration, for so long as Capital Securities are
represented by a Global Capital Security, the Administrator and the
Institutional Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the
Depositary, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

         SECTION 6.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If:

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

                  (b)      there shall be delivered to the Registrar, the
Administrators and the Institutional Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to keep each of them harmless; then, in the absence of
notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
an Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute (and in the case of a
Capital Security Certificate, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate) and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination. In connection with
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.5, the Registrar or the
Administrators may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any
duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant Securities, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.

         SECTION 6.6. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are
ready for delivery, the Administrators may prepare and, in the case of the
Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate, temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in form of definitive
Securities but may have variations that the Administrators consider appropriate
for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Administrators shall
prepare and, in the case of the Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee
shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

         SECTION 6.7. Cancellation. The Administrators at any time may deliver
Securities to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar shall
forward to the Institutional Trustee any Securities surrendered to it for
registration of transfer, redemption or payment. The Institutional Trustee shall
promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer,
payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled
Securities as the Administrators direct. The Administrators may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered
to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation.

         SECTION 6.8. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults.

                  (a)      The legal title to the Trust Property is vested
exclusively in the Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance
with Section 2.5, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein
other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust
conferred by their 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 Securities shall

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and
in this Declaration. The Securities shall have no, and the issuance of the
Securities shall not be subject to, preemptive or other similar rights and when
issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor,
the Securities will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.

                  (b)      For so long as any Capital Securities remain
outstanding, if, upon an Indenture 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 not less than a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding shall have the
right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Institutional
Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee.

                  (c)      At any time after 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 provided
in the Indenture, if the Institutional Trustee, subject to the provisions
hereof, fails to annul any such declaration and waive such default, the Holders
of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, by
written notice to the Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

                                    (A)      all overdue installments of
                           interest on all of the Debentures;

                                    (B)      any accrued Deferred Interest on
                           all of the Debentures;

                                    (C)      all payments on any Debentures that
                           have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
                           acceleration and interest and Deferred Interest
                           thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures; and

                                    (D)      all sums paid or advanced by the
                           Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the
                           reasonable compensation, documented expenses,
                           disbursements and advances of the Debenture Trustee
                           and the Institutional 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 that has become due solely by such acceleration,
                  have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.07 of the
                  Indenture.

                  (d)      The Holders of not less than a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of
all the Capital Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default, except a
default or Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such
default or Event of Default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by
acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default or
Event of Default in respect of a covenant or

                                      -34-

provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

                  (e)      Upon receipt by the Institutional Trustee of written
notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by
Holders of any part of the Capital Securities, a record date shall be
established for determining Holders of outstanding Capital Securities entitled
to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on
the day the Institutional 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
that 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 that 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 6.8.

                  (f)      Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.8, the
Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive
any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any
such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

                           (v)      the entry of a decree of judicial
                  dissolution of any Holder of the Common Securities, the
                  Sponsor, the Trust or the Debenture Issuer;

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

                           (vii)    before the issuance of any Securities, with

                  (c)      The provisions of Section 2.9 and Article IX shall

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

         SECTION 8.1. General. Subject to Section 6.4 and Section 8.1(c), where
Capital Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register a
transfer or to exchange them for an equal number of Capital Securities
represented by different Certificates, the Registrar shall register the transfer
or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To
permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trust shall issue and the
Institutional Trustee shall authenticate Capital Securities at the Registrar's
request.

                  (a)      Upon issuance of the Common Securities, the Sponsor
shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common
Securities and, for so long as the Securities remain outstanding, the Sponsor
shall maintain 100% ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that
any permitted successor of the Sponsor under the Indenture that is a U.S. Person
may succeed to the Sponsor's ownership of the Common Securities.

                  (b)      Capital Securities may only be transferred, in whole
or in part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Declaration and in the terms of the Capital Securities. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any transfer or purported transfer of any Security
not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void and will be
deemed to be of no legal effect whatsoever and any such transferee shall be
deemed not to be the holder of such Capital Securities for any purpose,
including but not limited to the receipt of Distributions on such Capital
Securities, and such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever
in such Capital Securities.

                  (c)      The Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Securities and of transfers of Securities, which will be effected without charge
but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the Registrar may require) in
respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation
to it. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities, the
Registrar shall cause one or more new Securities to be issued in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees. Any Security issued upon any registration
of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Declaration shall evidence
the same Security and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this
Declaration as the Security surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange. Every Security surrendered for registration of transfer shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in writing. Each Security surrendered for registration of transfer shall be
canceled by the Institutional Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7. A transferee of a
Security shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a Security. By
acceptance of a Security, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by this Declaration.

                  (d)      Neither the Trust nor the Registrar shall be required
(i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Securities during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any
selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business on
the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have
been given to all Holders of the Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) to register
the transfer or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

         SECTION 8.2. Transfer Procedures and Restrictions.

                  (a)      The Capital Securities shall bear the Restricted
Securities Legend (as defined below), which shall not be removed unless there is
delivered to the Trust such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion
of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Institutional Trustee, as may be
reasonably required by the Trust, that neither the legend nor the restrictions
on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or that such Securities are not
"restricted" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon
provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Institutional Trustee, at the
written direction of the Trust, shall authenticate and deliver Capital
Securities that do not bear the Restricted Securities Legend.

                  (b)      When Capital Securities are presented to the
Registrar (x) to register the transfer of such Capital Securities, or (y) to
exchange such Capital Securities for an equal number of Capital Securities
represented by different Certificates, the Registrar shall register the transfer
or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the Capital Securities surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trust
and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing and (i) if such Capital Securities are being transferred
to a QIB, accompanied by a certificate of the transferor substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit C hereto or (ii) if such Capital Securities are being
transferred otherwise than to a QIB,

                                      -37-

accompanied by a certificate of the transferee substantially in the form set
forth as Exhibit B hereto.

                  (c)      Except as permitted by Section 8.2(a), each Capital
Security shall bear a legend (the "Restricted Securities Legend") in
substantially the following form:

         [If the Capital Security is to be Global Capital Security - THIS
CAPITAL SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE DECLARATION
HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST

MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DEBENTURE ISSUER OR THE TRUST. THE HOLDER OF THIS
SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES THAT IT WILL COMPLY WITH THE FOREGOING

         THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES, REPRESENTS
AND WARRANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ENGAGE IN HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THIS
SECURITY UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

         THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF ALSO AGREES,
REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT, INDIVIDUAL
RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR OTHER PLAN OR ARRANGEMENT SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED ("ERISA"), OR

DECLARATION OF TRUST TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING
RESTRICTIONS.

         THIS SECURITY WILL BE ISSUED AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN BLOCKS
HAVING A LIQUIDATION AMOUNT OF NOT LESS THAN $100,000 AND MULTIPLES OF $1,000 IN
EXCESS THEREOF. ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN A BLOCK HAVING A
LIQUIDATION AMOUNT OF LESS THAN $100,000 SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE VOID AND OF NO
LEGAL EFFECT WHATSOEVER. ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO BE
THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS SECURITY, AND SUCH PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL
BE DEEMED TO HAVE NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER IN THIS SECURITY.

                  (d)      Capital Securities may only be transferred in minimum
blocks of $100,000 aggregate liquidation amount (100 Capital Securities) and
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any attempted transfer of Capital
Securities in a block having an aggregate liquidation amount of less than
$100,000 shall be deemed to be void and of no legal effect whatsoever. Any such
purported transferee shall be deemed not to be a Holder of such Capital
Securities for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
Distributions on such Capital Securities, and such purported transferee shall be
deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Capital Securities.

                  (e)      Each party hereto understands and hereby agrees that
the Initial Purchaser is intended solely to be an interim holder of the Capital
Securities and is purchasing such securities to facilitate consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein and in the documents ancillary hereto.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Declaration to the contrary, the Initial
Purchaser shall have the right upon notice (a "Transfer Notice") to the
Institutional Trustee and the Sponsor to transfer title in and to the Capital
Securities, provided the Initial Purchaser shall take reasonable steps to ensure
that such transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and rules promulgated thereunder. Any Transfer Notice delivered to
the Institutional Trustee and Sponsor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
indicate the aggregate liquidation amount of Capital Securities being
transferred, the name and address of the transferee thereof (the "Transferee")
and the date of such transfer. Notwithstanding any provision in this Declaration
to the contrary, the transfer by the Initial Purchaser of title in and to the
Capital Securities pursuant to a Transfer Notice shall not be subject to any
requirement relating to Opinions of Counsel, Certificates of Transfer or any
other Opinion or Certificate applicable to transfers hereunder and relating to
Capital Securities.

         SECTION 8.3. Deemed Security Holders. The Trust, the Administrators,
the Trustees, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and
records of the Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the
Securities represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving
Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
Certificate or in the Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of
any Person, whether or not the Trust, the

                                      -40-

         SECTION 9.1. Liability.

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

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

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

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

                  (c)      Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust
Act, the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit
organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, except as
otherwise specifically set forth herein.

         SECTION 9.2. Exculpation.

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

                  (b)      An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in
relying in good faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information,
opinions, reports or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to
matters the Indemnified Person reasonably believes are within such other
Person's professional or expert competence and, if selected by such Indemnified
Person, has been selected by such Indemnified Person with reasonable care by or
on behalf of the Trust, including information, opinions, reports or statements
as to the value and

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses or any other facts pertinent
to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to Holders of
Securities might properly be paid.

         SECTION 9.3. Fiduciary Duty.

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 9.4. Indemnification. (a) (i) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any Indemnified Person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Trust) by reason
of the fact that such Person is or was an Indemnified Person against expenses
(including attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if such Person acted in good faith and in a
manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

                           (ii)     The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest
                  extent permitted by law, any Indemnified Person who was or is
                  a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
                  pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of

                                      -42-

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

                           (iii)    To the extent that an Indemnified Person
                  shall be successful on the merits or otherwise (including
                  dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of
                  an action without admission of liability) in defense of any
                  action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and
                  (ii) of this Section 9.4(a), or in defense of any claim, issue
                  or matter therein, such Person shall be indemnified, to the
                  fullest extent permitted by law, against expenses (including
                  attorneys' fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred
                  by such Person in connection therewith.

                           (iv)     Any indemnification of an Administrator
                  under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.4(a) (unless
                  ordered by a court) shall be made by the Sponsor only as
                  authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
                  indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the
                  circumstances because such Person has met the applicable
                  standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such
                  determination shall be made (A) by the Administrators by a
                  majority vote of a Quorum consisting of such Administrators
                  who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (B)
                  if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if
                  a Quorum of disinterested Administrators so directs, by
                  independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (C) by the
                  Common Security Holder of the Trust.

                           (v)      To the fullest extent permitted by law,
                  expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
                  an Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal,
                  administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
                  referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.4(a)
                  shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final
                  disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of
                  an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to
                  repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
                  such Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor
                  as authorized in this Section 9.4(a). Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Sponsor if a
                  determination is reasonably and promptly made (1) in the case
                  of a Company Indemnified Person (A) by the Administrators by a
                  majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested Administrators, (B)
                  if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if
                  a Quorum of disinterested Administrators so directs, by
                  independent legal counsel

                  in a written opinion or (C) by the Common Security Holder of
                  the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to the
                  Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the
                  time such determination is made, such Indemnified Person acted
                  in bad faith or in a manner that such Person either believed
                  to be opposed to or did not believe to be in the best
                  interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal
                  proceeding, that such Indemnified Person believed or had
                  reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, or (2)
                  in the case of a Fiduciary Indemnified Person, by independent
                  legal counsel in a written opinion that, based upon the facts
                  known to the counsel at the time such determination is made,
                  such Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that
                  such Indemnified Person either believed to be opposed to or
                  did not believe to be in the best interests of the Trust, or,
                  with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such Indemnified
                  Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe such
                  conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made
                  (i) to a Company Indemnified Person in instances where the
                  Administrators, independent legal counsel or the Common
                  Security Holder reasonably determine that such Person
                  deliberately breached such Person's duty to the Trust or its
                  Common or Capital Security Holders or (ii) to a Fiduciary
                  Indemnified Person in instances where independent legal
                  counsel promptly and reasonably determines in a written
                  opinion that such Person deliberately breached such Person's
                  duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security Holders.

                  (b)      The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, each Indemnified Person from and against any and
all loss, damage, liability, tax (other than taxes based on the income of such
Indemnified Person), penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever
incurred by such Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of the creation, administration or termination of the Trust, or any act
or omission of such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and
in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope
of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration, except
that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any
loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim incurred by such
Indemnified Person by reason of negligence or willful misconduct with respect to
such acts or omissions.

                  (c)      The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 9.4
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of the Sponsor or Capital
Security Holders of the Trust or otherwise, both as to action in such Person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office. All rights to indemnification under this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to
be provided by a contract between the Sponsor and each Indemnified Person who
serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 9.4 is in effect. Any
repeal or modification of this Section 9.4 shall not affect any rights or
obligations then existing.

                  (d)      The Sponsor or the Trust may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an Indemnified Person against
any liability asserted against such

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such
Person's status as such, whether or not the Sponsor would have the power to
indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this
Section 9.4.

                  (e)      For purposes of this Section 9.4, references to "the
Trust" shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any
constituent entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
consolidation or merger, so that any Person who is or was a director, trustee,
officer or employee of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the
request of such constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or
agent of another entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of this Section 9.4 with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as such
Person would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate
existence had continued.

                  (f)      The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 9.4 shall, unless otherwise
provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to
be an Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such a Person.

                  (g)      The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the
termination of this Declaration or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Institutional Trustee. The obligations of the Sponsor under this Section 9.4 to
compensate and indemnify the Trustees and to pay or reimburse the Trustees for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness
hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that
of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustees
as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular
Capital Securities, provided, that the Sponsor is the holder of the Common
Securities.

         SECTION 9.5. Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the
Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee (subject to Section 4.3(c)) may
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or
description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business
of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall have no rights
by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent ventures or the income
or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if
competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or
improper. None of any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee or the
Institutional Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or
other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that,
if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person,
the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee shall have the
right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or
to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any
Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee may engage or
be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any
Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or
act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of
the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

         SECTION 9.6. Compensation; Fee.

                  (a)      The Sponsor agrees:

                           (i)      to pay to the Trustees from time to time
                  such compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder
                  as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time (which
                  compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in
                  regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
                  and

                           (ii)     except as otherwise expressly provided
                  herein, to reimburse the Trustees upon request for all
                  reasonable, documented expenses, disbursements and advances
                  incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any
                  provision of this Declaration (including the reasonable
                  compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their
                  respective agents and counsel), except any such expense,
                  disbursement or advance attributable to their negligence or
                  willful misconduct.

                  (b)      The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the
dissolution of the Trust and the termination of this Declaration and the removal
or resignation of any Trustee.

                                   ACCOUNTING

         SECTION 10.1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year (the "Fiscal Year") of the
Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

         SECTION 10.2. Certain Accounting Matters.

                  (a)      At all times during the existence of the Trust, the
Administrators shall keep, or cause to be kept at the principal office of the
Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
Section 301.7701-7, full books of account, records and supporting documents,
which shall reflect in reasonable detail each transaction of the Trust. The
books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

                  (b)      The Administrators shall either (i) cause each Form
10-K and Form 10-Q prepared by the Sponsor and filed with the Commission in
accordance with the Exchange Act to be delivered to each Holder of Securities,
within 90 days after the filing of each Form 10-K and within 30 days after the
filing of each Form 10-Q or (ii) cause to be prepared at the principal office of
the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
Section 301.7701-7, and delivered to each of the Holders of Securities, within
90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust, annual financial
statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet of the Trust as of the end of
such Fiscal Year, and the related statements of income or loss.

                  (c)      The Administrators shall cause to be duly prepared
and delivered to each of the Holders of Securities Form 1099 or such other
annual United States federal income tax information statement required by the
Code, containing such information with regard to the Securities held by each
Holder as is required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding
any right under the Code to deliver any such statement at a later date, the

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

Administrators shall endeavor to deliver all such statements within 30 days
after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust.

                  (d)      The Administrators shall cause to be duly prepared in
the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section
301.7701-7, and filed an annual United States federal income tax return on a
Form 1041 or such other form required by United States federal income tax law,
and any other annual income tax returns required to be filed by the
Administrators on behalf of the Trust with any state or local taxing authority.

                  (e)      So long as the only Holder of the Capital Securities
is Bear, Stearns Securities Corp., the Administrators will cause the Sponsor's
reports on Form FRY-9C and FRY-9LP to be delivered to the Holder promptly
following their filing with the Federal Reserve.

         SECTION 10.3. Banking. The Trust shall maintain one or more bank
accounts in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
Section 301.7701-7, in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided,
however, that all payments of funds in respect of the Debentures held by the
Institutional Trustee shall be made directly to the Property Account and no
other funds of the Trust shall be deposited in the Property Account. The sole
signatories for such accounts (including the Property Account) shall be
designated by the Institutional Trustee.

         SECTION 10.4. Withholding. The Institutional Trustee or any Paying
Agent and the Administrators shall comply with all withholding requirements
under United States federal, state and local law. The Institutional Trustee or
any Paying Agent shall request, and each Holder shall provide to the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent, such forms or certificates as are
necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to the Holder,
and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent to assist it in determining the extent
of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Administrators shall
file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from
withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld
with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent is required to withhold and pay over
any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any
Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution to the Holder
in the amount of the withholding. In the event of any claimed overwithholding,
Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If
the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions
made, the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent may reduce subsequent
Distributions by the amount of such withholding.

                           (ii)     if the amendment affects the rights, powers,
                  duties, obligations or immunities of the Delaware Trustee, the
                  Delaware Trustee,

                           (iii)    if the amendment affects the rights, powers,

                  amount of the Common Securities.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
XI, no amendment shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void
and ineffective:

                                    first received

                                    (A)      an Officers' Certificate from each
                           of the Trust and the Sponsor that such amendment is
                           permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this
                           Declaration (including the terms of the Securities);

                           counsel to the Sponsor or the Trust) that such
                           amendment is permitted by, and conforms to, the terms
                           of this Declaration (including the terms of the

                           classified for purposes of United States federal
                           income taxation as a grantor trust;

                                    (B)      reduce or otherwise adversely
                           affect the powers of the Institutional Trustee in
                           contravention of the Trust Indenture Act;

                                    (C)      cause the Trust to be deemed to be
                           an Investment Company required to be registered under
                           the Investment Company Act; or

                           purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the
                           Federal Reserve.

                  (c)      Except as provided in Section 11.1(d), (e) or (g), no
amendment shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and
ineffective, unless the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities shall have consented to such amendment.

                  (d)      In addition to and notwithstanding any other
provision in this Declaration, without the consent of each affected Holder, this
Declaration may not be amended to (i) change

                                      -48-

of the Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the general or specific
purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders of the Securities
calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Certificates held by the Holders
of the Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and only those
Securities represented by such Certificates shall be counted for purposes of
determining whether the required percentage set forth in the second sentence of
this paragraph has been met.

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

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

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

                           (iii)    unless the Statutory Trust Act, this
                  Declaration, the terms of the Securities, the Trust Indenture
                  Act or the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the
                  Capital Securities are then listed for trading, if any,
                  otherwise provides, the Administrators, in their sole
                  discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to
                  meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice of the
                  time, place or

                  right to vote; provided, however, that each meeting shall be
                  conducted in the United States (as that term is defined in
                  Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7).

                                     ANNEX I

                                    TERMS OF
                                TP SECURITIES AND
                                COMMON SECURITIES

         Pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as
of December 15, 2003 (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the
designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and
provisions of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities are set out below
(each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning set forth in
the Declaration):

         1. Designation and Number.

         (a) Capital Securities. 40,000 Capital Securities of CVB Statutory
Trust II (the "Trust"), with an aggregate stated liquidation amount with respect
to the assets of the Trust of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) and a stated
liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per Capital
Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only as the
"TP Securities" (the "Capital Securities"). The Capital Security Certificates
evidencing the Capital Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions
therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform
to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Capital Securities are listed,
if any.

         (b) Common Securities. 1,238 Common Securities of the Trust (the
"Common Securities") will be evidenced by Common Security Certificates
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes
and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary
usage, custom or practice. In the absence of an Event of Default, the Common
Securities will have an aggregate stated liquidation amount with respect to the
assets of the Trust of One Million Two Hundred Thirty Eight Thousand Dollars
($1,238,000) and a stated liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the
Trust of $1,000 per Common Security.

         2. Distributions.

         (a) Distributions payable on each Security will be payable at a fixed
rate of 6.46% (the "Fixed Rate") per annum from December 15, 2003 until January
7, 2009 (the "Fixed Rate Period") and thereafter at a variable per annum rate of
interest, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR, as determined on the LIBOR
Determination Date, plus 2.85% (the "Variable Rate"), of the stated liquidation
amount of $1,000 per Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on
the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth
below in respect of an Extension Period, Distributions in arrears for more than
one quarterly period will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the
applicable Coupon Rate (defined to include the Fixed Rate and Variable Rate, as
applicable) for each such quarterly period (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes cash
distributions, any such compounded distributions and any Additional Interest
payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable
only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by
the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has

                                      A-I-1

<PAGE>

funds legally available in the Property Account therefor. During the Fixed Rate
Period, the amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for
any full quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and the amount payable for any partial period shall be computed on
the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, distributions will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the
relevant Distribution period; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of a
Special Event redemption pursuant to paragraph 4(a) below the amounts payable
pursuant to this Declaration shall be calculated as set forth in the definition
of Special Redemption Price.

         (b) Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, LIBOR shall be determined
by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

                           (1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (provided, that
                  on such day commercial banks are open for business (including
                  dealings in foreign currency deposits) in London (a "LIBOR
                  Banking Day"), and otherwise the next preceding LIBOR Business
                  Day that is also a LIBOR Banking Day) prior to January 15,
                  April 15, July 15 and October 15 commencing January 15, 2009
                  (each such day, a "LIBOR Determination Date"), LIBOR shall
                  equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent for
                  three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe, which appears on
                  Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and
                  Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and Currency
                  Exchange Definitions) or such other page as may replace such
                  Telerate Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such
                  LIBOR Determination Date, as reported by Bloomberg Financial
                  Markets Commodities News. "LIBOR Business Day" means any day
                  that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which
                  commercial banking institutions in New York, New York or
                  Wilmington, Delaware are authorized or obligated by law or
                  executive order to be closed. If such rate is superseded on
                  Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate before 12:00 noon
                  (London time) on the same LIBOR Determination Date, the
                  corrected rate as so substituted will be the applicable LIBOR
                  for that LIBOR Determination Date.

                           (2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate
                  does not appear on Telerate Page 3750 as reported by Bloomberg
                  Financial Markets Commodities News or such other page as may
                  replace such Telerate Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall
                  determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the
                  Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the
                  London Interbank market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits
                  in Europe (in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent)
                  by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately
                  11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made
                  by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any
                  LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks
                  provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal the arithmetic mean
                  of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only
                  one or none of the Reference Banks provide such a quotation,
                  LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered
                  quotations that at least two leading banks in the City of New
                  York (as selected by the Calculation Agent) are quoting on the
                  relevant LIBOR Determination Date for

                                      A-I-2

<PAGE>

             three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe at approximately 11:00
             a.m. (London time) (in an amount determined by the Calculation
             Agent). As used herein, "Reference Banks" means four major banks in
             the London Interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent.

         (3) If the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a
             rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided
             above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR in effect on the previous LIBOR
             Determination Date (whether or not LIBOR for such period was in
             fact determined on such LIBOR Determination Date).

         (c) All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Securities
will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward
(e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and
all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to
the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

         (d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
notify, in writing, the Sponsor and the Paying Agent of the applicable Coupon
Rate in effect for the related Distribution payment period. The Calculation
Agent shall, upon the request of the Holder of any Securities, provide the
Coupon Rate then in effect. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in
the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding
on the Sponsor and the Holders of the Securities. The Paying Agent shall be
entitled to rely on information received from the Calculation Agent or the
Sponsor as to the Coupon Rate. The Sponsor shall, from time to time, provide any
necessary information to the Paying Agent relating to any original issue
discount and interest on the Securities that is included in any payment and
reportable for taxable income calculation purposes.

         (e) Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
from the date of original issuance, and will be payable, subject to extension of
Distribution payment periods as described herein, quarterly in arrears on
January 7, April 7, July 7 and October 7 of each year, commencing January 7,
2004 (each, a "Distribution Payment Date"). Subject to prior Submission of
Notice (as defined in the Indenture), the Debenture Issuer has the right under
the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the
interest payment period for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each, an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject
to the conditions described below, during which Extension Period no interest
shall be due and payable (except any Additional Interest that may be due and
payable). During any Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the
Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest (such accrued interest and
interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at an
annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate in effect for each such Extension Period,
compounded quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest would have been
payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law. No
Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date. At
the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay all
Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures; provided, however,
that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date and provided,
further, that, during any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may not
(i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,
acquire, or make a

                                      A-I-3

<PAGE>

liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock
or (ii) make any payment due on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt
securities of the Debenture Issuer that rank pari passu in all respects with or
junior in interest to the Debentures (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or
other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (A) in
connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar
arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers,
directors or consultants, (B) in connection with a dividend reinvestment or
stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in connection with the issuance of
capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such capital stock), as consideration in an acquisition
transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a
result of any exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Debenture
Issuer's capital stock (or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the Debenture
Issuer) for any class or series of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock or of
any class or series of the Debenture Issuer's indebtedness for any class or
series of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional
interests in shares of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock pursuant to the
conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being
converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any
stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property
under any stockholder's rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or
other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of
such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the
dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock). Prior
to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further
extend such period, provided, that such period together with all such previous
and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive
quarterly periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of
any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the
Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing
requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be due and payable during
an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall
accrue upon each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and
payable during such Extension Period until such installment is paid. If
Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that
the related Extension Period terminates, or, if such date is not a Distribution
Payment Date, on the immediately following Distribution Payment Date, to Holders
of the Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the
record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities
must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period)
to the extent that the Trust has funds legally available for the payment of such
distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust's funds available
for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will be limited to payments
received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions out of moneys
held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.

         (f) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders
thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Registrar on the relevant
record dates. The relevant record dates shall be selected by the Administrators,
which dates shall be 15 days before the relevant payment dates. Distributions
payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution
Payment Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed to make a
payment under the Debentures, as the case may be, when due (taking into account
any Extension Period), will cease to be payable to the Person in

                                      A-I-4

<PAGE>

whose name such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such
defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such
Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date
determined in accordance with the Indenture. If any date on which Distributions
are payable on the Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
is a Business Day except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such payment
date.

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

         3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust (each, a "Liquidation") other than in connection with a redemption of
the Debentures, the Holders of the Securities will be entitled to receive out of
the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of the Securities,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust (to the extent not
satisfied by the Debenture Issuer), distributions equal to the aggregate of the
stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Security plus accrued and unpaid
Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation
Distribution"), unless in connection with such Liquidation, the Debentures in an
aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of such Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate of,
and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and
unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date as, such Securities,
after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of
the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Act, shall
be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange
for such Securities.

         The Sponsor, as the Holder of all of the Common Securities, has the
right at any time to dissolve the Trust (including without limitation upon the
occurrence of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment
Event), subject to the receipt by the Debenture Issuer of prior approval from
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"),
and any successor federal agency that is primarily responsible for regulating
the activities of the Sponsor (the "Federal Reserve"), if the Sponsor is a bank
holding company, or from the Office of Thrift Supervision and any successor
federal agency that is primarily responsible for regulating the activities of
the Sponsor, (the "OTS") if the Sponsor is a savings and loan holding company,
in either case if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies
of the Federal Reserve or OTS, as applicable, and, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Trust, cause the Debentures to be distributed to
the Holders of the Securities on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the
aggregate stated liquidation amount thereof.

         The Trust shall dissolve on the first to occur of (i) January 7, 2039,
the expiration of the term of the Trust, (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to
the Sponsor, the Trust or the Debenture Issuer, (iii) (other than in connection
with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction not prohibited by the
Indenture, this Declaration or the Guarantee, as the case may be) the filing of
a certificate of dissolution of the Sponsor or upon the revocation of the
charter of the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after the date of
revocation without a reinstatement thereof, (iv) the

                                      A-I-5

<PAGE>

distribution to the Holders of the Securities of the Debentures, upon exercise
of the right of the Holder of all of the outstanding Common Securities to
dissolve the Trust as described above, (v) the entry of a decree of a judicial
dissolution of the Sponsor or the Trust, or (vi) when all of the Securities
shall have been called for redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption
thereof shall have been paid to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the
Securities. As soon as practicable after the dissolution of the Trust and upon
completion of the winding up of the Trust, the Trust shall terminate upon the
filing of a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware.

         If a Liquidation of the Trust occurs as described in clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (v) in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Institutional Trustee of the Trust as expeditiously as such
Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to the
Holders of the Securities, the Debentures on a Pro Rata basis to the extent not
satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, unless such distribution is determined by the
Institutional Trustee not to be practical, in which event such Holders will be
entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to
the Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust to the
extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, an amount equal to the Liquidation
Distribution. An early Liquidation of the Trust pursuant to clause (iv) of the
immediately preceding paragraph shall occur if the Institutional Trustee
determines that such Liquidation is possible by distributing, after satisfaction
of liabilities to creditors of Trust, to the Holders of the Securities on a Pro
Rata basis, the Debentures, and such distribution occurs.

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

         Upon any such Liquidation of the Trust involving a distribution of the
Debentures, if at the time of such Liquidation, the Capital Securities were
rated by at least one nationally-recognized statistical rating organization, the
Debenture Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from at least
one such or other rating organization a rating for the Debentures.

         After the date for any distribution of the Debentures upon dissolution
of the Trust, (i) the Securities of the Trust will be deemed to be no longer
outstanding, (ii) any certificates representing the Capital Securities will be
deemed to represent undivided beneficial interests in such of the Debentures as
have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of, with an interest rate identical to the distribution rate of, and
bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid distributions
on, the Securities until such certificates are presented to the Debenture Issuer
or its agent for transfer or reissuance (and until such certificates are so
surrendered, no payments of interest or principal shall be made to Holders of
Securities in respect of any payments due and payable under the Debentures) and
(iii) all rights of Holders of Securities under the Capital Securities or the
Common Securities, as applicable, shall cease, except the right of such Holders
to receive Debentures upon surrender of certificates representing such
Securities.

         4. Redemption and Distribution.

         (a) The Debentures will mature on January 7, 2034. The Debentures may
be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, on any January 7,
April 7, July 7 or October 7 on or after January 7, 2009 at the Redemption
Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to Holders of such
Debentures. In addition, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event, an
Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment Event, the Debentures may be
redeemed by the Debenture Issuer in whole but not in part, at any time within 90
days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or
Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be (the "Special Redemption Date"), at
the Special Redemption Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice to Holders of the Debentures so long as such Tax Event, Investment
Company Event or Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be, is continuing. In
each case, the right of the Debenture Issuer to redeem the Debentures is subject
to the Debenture Issuer having received prior approval from the Federal Reserve,
if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve.

         "Tax Event" means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of
an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a
result of any amendment to or change (including any announced prospective
change) in the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of
any official administrative pronouncement (including any private letter ruling,
technical advice memorandum, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement) (an
"Administrative Action") or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws
or regulations, regardless of whether such Administrative Action or judicial
decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving the Debenture
Issuer or the Trust and whether or not subject to review or appeal, which
amendment, clarification, change, Administrative Action or decision is enacted,
promulgated or announced, in each case on or after the date of original issuance
of the Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that: (i) the Trust
is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to United
States federal income tax with respect to income received or accrued on the
Debentures; (ii) interest payable by the Debenture Issuer on the Debentures is
not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible by
the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax
purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such
opinion, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other taxes (including
withholding taxes), duties, assessments or other governmental charges.

         "Investment Company Event" means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer
and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
that, as a result of a change in law or regulation or written change in
interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body,
court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, there is more than an
insubstantial risk that the Trust is or, within 90 days of the date of such
opinion will be, considered an "investment company" that is required to be
registered under the Investment Company Act, which change or prospective change
becomes effective or would become effective, as the case may be, on or after the
date of the original issuance of the Debentures.

         "Capital Treatment Event" means the receipt by the Company and the
Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that,
as a result of any amendment

                                      A-I-7

<PAGE>

to, or change in, the laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any
political subdivision thereof or therein, or as the result of any official or
administrative pronouncement or action or decision interpreting or applying such
laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which
pronouncement, action or decision is announced on or after the date hereof,
there is more than an insubstantial risk that within 90 days of the receipt of
such opinion, the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities will
not be eligible to be treated by the Company as "Tier 1 Capital" (or the then
equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the
Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over
bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the Company;
provided, however, that the inability of the Company to treat all or any portion
of the Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities as Tier 1 Capital shall not
constitute the basis for a Capital Treatment Event, if such inability results
from the Company having cumulative preferred stock, minority interests in
consolidated subsidiaries, or any other class of security or interest which the
Federal Reserve, may now or hereafter accord Tier 1 Capital treatment in excess
of the amount which may now or hereafter qualify for treatment as Tier 1 Capital
under applicable capital adequacy guidelines; provided further, however, that
the distribution of the Debentures in connection with the Liquidation of the
Trust by the Debenture Issuer shall not in and of itself constitute a Capital
Treatment Event unless such Liquidation shall have occurred in connection with a
Tax Event or an Investment Company Event.

         "Special Event" means any of a Capital Treatment Event, a Tax Event or
an Investment Company Event.

         "Redemption Price" means 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures
being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures to the
Redemption Date or, in the case of a redemption due to the occurrence of a
Special Event, to the Special Redemption Date if such Special Redemption Date is
on or after January 7, 2009.

         "Special Redemption Price" means (1) if the Special Redemption Date is
before January 7, 2009, One Hundred Seven and One Half Percent (105%) of the
principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to
the date of such redemption and (2) if the Special Redemption Date is on or
after January 7, 2009, the Redemption Price for such Special Redemption Date.

         "Redemption Date" means the date fixed for the redemption of Capital
Securities, which shall be any January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 on or
after January 7, 2009.

         (b) Upon the repayment in full at maturity or redemption in whole or in
part of the Debentures (other than following the distribution of the Debentures
to the Holders of the Securities), the proceeds from such repayment or payment
shall concurrently be applied to redeem Pro Rata at the applicable Redemption
Price, Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed; provided, however,
that holders of such Securities shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60
days' notice of such redemption (other than at the scheduled maturity of the
Debentures).

                                      A-I-8

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

         (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Capital
Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all
Capital Securities for all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or
before the date of redemption.

         (e) Redemption or Distribution Procedures.

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

                           (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding
                  Securities are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed
                  shall be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Capital
                  Securities.

                           (iii) If the Securities are to be redeemed and the
                  Trust gives a Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may
                  only be issued if the Debentures are redeemed as set out in
                  this Section 4 (which notice will be irrevocable), then,
                  provided, that the Institutional Trustee has a sufficient
                  amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or
                  maturity of the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee will,
                  with respect to Book-Entry Capital Securities, on the
                  Redemption Date, irrevocably deposit with the Depositary for
                  such Book-Entry Capital Securities, to the extent available
                  therefor, funds sufficient to pay the relevant Redemption
                  Price and will give such Depositary irrevocable instructions
                  and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Owners of the
                  Capital Securities. With respect to Capital Securities that
                  are not Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Institutional
                  Trustee will pay, to the extent available therefor, the
                  relevant Redemption Price to the Holders of such Securities by
                  check mailed to the address of each such Holder appearing on
                  the books and records of the Trust on the redemption date. If
                  a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given and
                  funds deposited as required, then immediately prior to the
                  close of business on the date of such deposit, Distributions
                  will cease to accrue on the

                                      A-I-9

<PAGE>

                  Securities so called for redemption and all rights of Holders
                  of such Securities so called for redemption will cease, except
                  the right of the Holders of such Securities to receive the
                  applicable Redemption Price specified in Section 4(a), but
                  without interest on such Redemption Price. If any date fixed
                  for redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then
                  payment of any such Redemption Price payable on such date will
                  be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day
                  except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar
                  year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding
                  Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as
                  if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the
                  Redemption Price in respect of any Securities is improperly
                  withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the
                  Debenture Issuer as guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee,
                  Distributions on such Securities will continue to accrue at
                  the then applicable rate from the original redemption date to
                  the actual date of payment, in which case the actual payment
                  date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for
                  purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. In the event of
                  any redemption of the Capital Securities issued by the Trust
                  in part, the Trust shall not be required to (i) issue,
                  register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a
                  period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
                  selection for redemption of the Capital Securities and ending
                  at the close of business on the earliest date on which the
                  relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to
                  all Holders of the Capital Securities to be so redeemed or
                  (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Capital
                  Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part,
                  except for the unredeemed portion of any Capital Securities
                  being redeemed in part.

                           (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by
                  the Administrators on behalf of the Trust (A) in respect of
                  the Capital Securities, to the Holders thereof, and (B) in
                  respect of the Common Securities, to the Holder thereof.

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

         5. Voting Rights - Capital Securities.

         (a)      Except as provided under Sections 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise
                  required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the
                  Capital Securities will have no voting rights. The
                  Administrators are required to call a meeting of the Holders
                  of the Capital Securities if directed to do so by Holders of
                  not less than 10% in liquidation amount of the Capital
                  Securities.

         (b)      Subject to the requirements of obtaining a tax opinion by the
                  Institutional Trustee in certain circumstances set forth in
                  the last sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority
                  in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, voting
                  separately as a class, have the right to

                                     A-I-10

<PAGE>

direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including the
right to direct the Institutional Trustee, as holder of the Debentures, to (i)
exercise the remedies available under the Indenture as the holder of the
Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture,
(iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of
all the Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent on behalf of all the
Holders of the Capital Securities to any amendment, modification or termination
of the Indenture or the Debentures where such consent shall be required;
provided, however, that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would
require the consent or act of the holders of greater than a simple majority in
principal amount of Debentures (a "Super Majority") affected thereby, the
Institutional Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the
written direction of the Holders of not less than the proportion in liquidation
amount of the Capital Securities outstanding which the relevant Super Majority
represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. If
the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Debentures after
the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of such Capital Securities have
so directed the Institutional Trustee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a
Holder of the Capital Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly
against the Debenture Issuer to enforce the Institutional Trustee's rights under
the Debentures without first instituting any legal proceeding against the
Institutional Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event
is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay interest or
principal on the Debentures on the date the interest or principal is payable (or
in the case of redemption, the redemption date), then a Holder of record of the
Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of
payment, on or after the respective due dates specified in the Debentures, to
such Holder directly of the principal of or interest on the Debentures having an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities of such Holder. The Institutional Trustee shall notify all
Holders of the Capital Securities of any default actually known to the
Institutional Trustee with respect to the Debentures unless (x) such default has
been cured prior to the giving of such notice or (y) the Institutional Trustee
determines in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interest
of the Holders of such Capital Securities, except where the default relates to
the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. Such notice
shall state that such Indenture Event of Default also constitutes an Event of
Default hereunder. Except with respect to directing the time, method and place
of conducting a proceeding for a remedy, the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any of the actions described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that,
as a result of such action, the Trust will not be classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

         In the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee, as the holder of
the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture, the Institutional Trustee shall
request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to
such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such
amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation
amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however,
that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of a Super
Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the written
direction of the Holders of not less than the

                                     A-I-11

<PAGE>

proportion in liquidation amount of such Securities outstanding which the
relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures outstanding. The Institutional Trustee shall not take any such action
in accordance with the written directions of the Holders of the Securities
unless the Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the
effect that, as a result of such action, the Trust will not be classified as
other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

         A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default will constitute a waiver of
the corresponding Event of Default hereunder. Any required approval or direction
of Holders of the Capital Securities may be given at a separate meeting of
Holders of the Capital Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all
of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent.
The Institutional Trustee will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of
the Capital Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action
by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder
of record of the Capital Securities. Each such notice will include a statement
setting forth the following information (i) the date of such meeting or the date
by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution
proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote
or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions
for the delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the Holders of
the Capital Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel
Capital Securities or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the
Declaration and the terms of the Securities.

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

         In no event will Holders of the Capital Securities have the right to
vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights are
vested exclusively in the Sponsor as the Holder of all of the Common Securities
of the Trust. Under certain circumstances as more fully described in the
Declaration, Holders of Capital Securities have the right to vote to appoint,
remove or replace the Institutional Trustee and the Delaware Trustee.

         6. Voting Rights - Common Securities.

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

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

         (c) Subject to Section 6.7 of the Declaration and only after each Event
of Default (if any) with respect to the Capital Securities has been cured,
waived or otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to
last sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount
of the Common Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the

                                     A-I-12

<PAGE>

Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time,
method, place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Debenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture
Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waiving any past default and its
consequences that are waivable under the Indenture, or (iii) exercising any
right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures
shall be due and payable, provided, however, that, where a consent or action
under the Indenture would require a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee
may only give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the
Holders of not less than the proportion in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. Notwithstanding this Section
6(c), the Institutional Trustee shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote or consent of the Holders of the Capital
Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee
or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that
for the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action. If the
Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration, to the
fullest extent permitted by law any Holder of the Common Securities may
institute a legal proceeding directly against any Person to enforce the
Institutional Trustee's rights under the Declaration, without first instituting
a legal proceeding against the Institutional Trustee or any other Person.

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

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

         7. Amendments to Declaration and Indenture.

         (a) In addition to any requirements under Section 11.1 of the
Declaration, if any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the
Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect
the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of
amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the Liquidation of the Trust,
other than as described in Section 7.1 of the Declaration, then the Holders of
outstanding Securities, voting together as a single class, will be entitled to
vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be
effective except with the

                                     A-I-13

<PAGE>

approval of the Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the
Securities affected thereby; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal
referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Capital
Securities or only the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be
entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal
shall not be effective except with the approval of a Majority in liquidation
amount of such class of Securities.

         (b) In the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee as the holder
of the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the
Institutional Trustee shall request the written direction of the Holders of the
Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or termination and shall
vote with respect to such amendment, modification, or termination as directed by
a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single
class; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require
a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the
written direction of the Holders of not less than the proportion in liquidation
amount of the Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding.

         (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be
made to the Declaration if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the
Trust to be classified for purposes of United States federal income taxation as
other than a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the powers
of the Institutional Trustee or (iii) cause the Trust to be deemed an
"investment company" which is required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act.

         (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Declaration, the right of any
Holder of the Capital Securities to receive payment of distributions and other
payments upon redemption or otherwise, on or after their respective due dates,
or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder. For the protection and enforcement of the foregoing provision, each and
every Holder of the Capital Securities shall be entitled to such relief as can
be given either at law or equity.

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

                                     A-I-14

<PAGE>

         9. Ranking. The Capital Securities rank pari passu with, and payment
thereon shall be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that, where an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the
Common Securities to receive payment of Distributions and payments upon
liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights of the
Holders of the Capital Securities with the result that no payment of any
Distribution on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other
payment on account of redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common
Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and
unpaid Distributions on all outstanding Capital Securities for all distribution
periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the
Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all outstanding
Capital Securities then called for redemption, shall have been made or provided
for, and all funds immediately available to the Institutional Trustee shall
first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions on, or the
Redemption Price of, the Capital Securities then due and payable.

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

         11. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders of the Securities shall have no,
and the issuance of the Securities is not subject to, preemptive or similar
rights to subscribe for any additional securities.

         12. Miscellaneous. These terms constitute a part of the Declaration.
The Sponsor will provide a copy of the Declaration, the Guarantee, and the
Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Sponsor at its
principal place of business.

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

         Distributions payable on each Capital Security will be payable at a
fixed rate of 6.46% (the "Fixed Rate") per annum from December 15, 2003 until
January 7, 2009 (the "Fixed Rate Period") and thereafter at a variable per annum
rate of interest, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR (as defined in the
Declaration) plus 2.85% (the "Variable Rate") of the stated liquidation amount
of $1,000 per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on
the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth
below in respect of an Extension Period, Distributions in arrears for more than
one quarterly period will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the
applicable Coupon Rate (defined to include the Fixed Rate and Variable Rate, as
applicable) for each such quarterly period (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes cash
distributions, any such compounded distributions and any Additional Interest
payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable
only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by
the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds
legally available in the Property Account therefor. During the Fixed Rate
Period, the amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for
any full quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and the amount payable for any partial period shall be computed on
the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, distributions will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the
relevant Distribution period.

         Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Capital
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 7], April 7, July 7 and
October 7 of each year, commencing on January 7, 2004 (each, a "Distribution
Payment Date"). Upon submission of Notice, the Debenture Issuer has the right
under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending
the interest payment period for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each, an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject
to the conditions described below, during which Extension Period no interest
shall be due and payable (except any Additional Interest that may be due and
payable). During any Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the
Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest (such accrued interest and
interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at an
annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate in effect for each such Extension Period,
compounded quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest would have been
payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law. No
Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date. At
the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay all
Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures; provided, however,
that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the
termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend
such period, provided, that such period together with all such previous and
further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly
periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any
Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the Debenture
Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing
requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be due and payable during
an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall
accrue upon each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and
payable during such Extension Period until such installment is paid. If
Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be

                                      A-I-6

<PAGE>

paid on the date that the related Extension Period terminates to Holders of the
Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record
date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be
paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the
extent that the Trust has funds legally available for the payment of such
distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust's funds available
for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will be limited to payments
received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions out of moneys
held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.

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

         Distributions payable on each Common Security will be identical in
amount to the Distributions payable on each Capital Security, which is at a
fixed rate of 6.46% (the "Fixed Rate") per annum from December 15, 2003 until
January 7, 2009 (the "Fixed Rate Period") and thereafter at a variable per annum
rate of interest, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR (as defined in the
Declaration) plus 2.85% (the "Variable Rate") of the stated liquidation amount
of $1,000 per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on
the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth
below in respect of an Extension Period, Distributions in arrears for more than
one quarterly period will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the
applicable Coupon Rate (defined to include the Fixed Rate and Variable Rate, as
applicable) for each such quarterly period (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes cash
distributions, any such compounded distributions and any Additional Interest
payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable
only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by
the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds
legally available in the Property Account therefor. During the Fixed Rate
Period, the amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for
any quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and the amount payable for any partial period shall be computed on
the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of distributions
payable for any quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year and
the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Distribution period.

         Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Common
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 7, April 7, July 7 and
October 7 of each year, commencing on January 7, 2004 (each, a "Distribution
Payment Date"). Upon submission of Notice, the Debenture Issuer has the right
under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending
the interest payment period for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each, an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject
to the conditions described below, during which Extension Period no interest
shall be due and payable (except any Additional Interest that may be due and
payable). During any Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the
Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest (such accrued interest and
interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at an
annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate in effect for each such Extension Period,
compounded quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest would have been
payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law. No
Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date. At
the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay all
Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures; provided, however,
that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the
termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend
such period, provided, that such period together with all such previous and
further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly
periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any
Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the Debenture
Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing
requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be due and payable during
an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall
accrue upon each

installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during
such Extension Period until such installment is paid. If Distributions are
deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related

         for the benefit of the Holders of the Capital Securities, and the
         Guarantee Trustee shall not transfer this Guarantee to any Person
         except a Holder of Capital Securities exercising his or her rights
         pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or to a Successor Guarantee Trustee on
         acceptance by such Successor Guarantee Trustee of its appointment to

                  (b)      If an Event of Default actually known to a

         covenants shall be read into this Guarantee against the Guarantee
         Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been
         cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.4(b)) and is actually known to a
         Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee
         shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
         Guarantee, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise
         thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
         circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                           (iv)     no provision of this Guarantee shall require
                  the Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
                  otherwise incur personal financial liability in the
                  performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
                  its rights or powers, if the Guarantee Trustee shall have
                  reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such
                  funds is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
                  Guarantee, or security and indemnity, reasonably satisfactory
                  to the Guarantee Trustee, against such risk or liability is
                  not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 2.2. Certain Rights of the Guarantee Trustee.

                  (a)      Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1:

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

                           (ii)     Any direction or act of the Guarantor
                  contemplated by this Guarantee shall be sufficiently evidenced
                  by an Officer's Certificate.

                           (iii)    Whenever, in the administration of this
                  Guarantee, the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that
                  a matter be proved or established before taking, suffering or
                  omitting any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless
                  other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the
                  absence of bad faith on its part, request and conclusively
                  rely upon an Officer's Certificate of the Guarantor which,
                  upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by
                  the Guarantor.

                           (iv)     The Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to
                  see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument
                  or other writing (or any rerecording, refiling or
                  reregistration thereof).

                           (v)      The Guarantee Trustee may consult with
                  counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such
                  counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and
                  complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
                  taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
                  in accordance with such advice or opinion. Such counsel may be
                  counsel to the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may
                  include any of its employees. The Guarantee Trustee shall have
                  the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
                  administration of this Guarantee from any court of competent
                  jurisdiction.

                           (vi)     The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no
                  obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
                  it by this Guarantee at the request or direction of any
                  Holder, unless such Holder shall have provided to the
                  Guarantee Trustee such security and indemnity, reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee, against the costs,
                  expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and the
                  expenses of the Guarantee Trustee's agents, nominees or
                  custodians) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
                  complying with such request or direction, including such
                  reasonable advances as may be requested by the Guarantee
                  Trustee; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
                  Section 2.2(a)(vi) shall be taken to relieve the Guarantee
                  Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its
                  obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by
                  this Guarantee.

                           (vii)    The Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to
                  make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
                  resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
                  report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
                  debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper
                  or document, but the Guarantee Trustee, in its discretion, may
                  make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
                  matters as it may see fit.

                           (viii)   The Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the
                  trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
                  either directly or by or through agents, nominees, custodians
                  or attorneys, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

                  responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of
                  any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

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

                           (x)      Whenever in the administration of this
                  Guarantee the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable to
                  receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or
                  right or taking any other action hereunder, the Guarantee
                  Trustee (A) may request instructions from the Holders of a
                  Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, (B)
                  may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such
                  other action until such instructions are received and (C)
                  shall be protected in conclusively relying on or acting in
                  accordance with such instructions.

                           (xi)     The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable
                  for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it
                  in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized
                  or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
                  by this Guarantee.

                  (b)      No provision of this Guarantee shall be deemed to
         impose any duty or obligation on the Guarantee 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 Guarantee 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 Guarantee Trustee shall be construed to
         be a duty.

SECTION 2.3. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Guarantee.

                  The recitals contained in this Guarantee shall be taken as the
statements of the Guarantor, and the Guarantee Trustee does not assume any
responsibility for their correctness. The Guarantee Trustee makes no
representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Guarantee.

SECTION 2.4. Events of Default; Waiver.

                  (a)      An Event of Default under this Guarantee will occur
         upon the failure of the Guarantor to perform any of its payment or
         other obligations hereunder.

                  (b)      The Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of
         the Capital Securities may, voting or consenting as a class, on behalf
         of the Holders of all of the Capital Securities, waive any past Event
         of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

         such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and shall be deemed to have
         been cured, for every purpose of this Guarantee, but no such waiver
         shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or
         impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 2.5. Events of Default; Notice.

                  (a)      The Guarantee Trustee shall, within 90 days after the
         occurrence of an Event of Default, transmit by mail, first class
         postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Capital Securities, notices of
         all Events of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
         Guarantee Trustee, unless such defaults have been cured before the
         giving of such notice, provided, however, that the Guarantee Trustee
         shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a
         Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee in good faith determines
         that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders
         of the Capital Securities.

                  (b)      The Guarantee Trustee shall not be charged with
         knowledge of any Event of Default unless the Guarantee Trustee shall
         have received written notice thereof from the Guarantor or a Holder of
         the Capital Securities, or a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee
         Trustee charged with the administration of this Guarantee shall have
         actual knowledge thereof.

                              THE GUARANTEE TRUSTEE

SECTION 3.1. The Guarantee Trustee; Eligibility.

                  (a)      There shall at all times be a Guarantee Trustee which
         shall:

                           (i)      not be an Affiliate of the Guarantor; and

                           (ii)     be a corporation or national association
                  organized and doing business under the laws of the United
                  States of America or any state or territory thereof or of the
                  District of Columbia, or Person authorized under such laws to
                  exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
                  surplus of at least 50 million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and
                  subject to supervision or examination by federal, state,
                  territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such
                  corporation or national association publishes reports of
                  condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
                  requirements of the supervising or examining authority
                  referred to above, then, for the purposes of this Section
                  3.1(a)(ii), the combined capital and surplus of such
                  corporation or national association shall be deemed to be its
                  combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
                  report of condition so published.

                  (b)      If at any time the Guarantee Trustee shall cease to
         be eligible to so act under Section 3.1(a), the Guarantee Trustee shall
         immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set forth in
         Section 3.2(c).

                                       -8-

<PAGE>

                  (c)      If the Guarantee Trustee has or shall acquire any
         "conflicting interest' within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the
         Trust Indenture Act, the Guarantee Trustee shall either eliminate such
         interest or resign to the extent and in the manner provided by, and
         subject to, this Guarantee.

SECTION 3.2. Appointment, Removal and Resignation of the Guarantee Trustee.

                  (a)      Subject to Section 3.2(b), the Guarantee Trustee may
         be appointed or removed without cause at any time by the Guarantor
         except during an Event of Default.

                  (b)      The Guarantee Trustee shall not be removed in
         accordance with Section 3.2(a) until a Successor Guarantee Trustee has
         been appointed and has accepted such appointment by written instrument
         executed by such Successor Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the
         Guarantor.

                  (c)      The Guarantee Trustee appointed to office shall hold
         office until a Successor Guarantee Trustee shall have been appointed or
         until its removal or resignation. The Guarantee Trustee may resign from
         office (without need for prior or subsequent accounting) by an
         instrument in writing executed by the Guarantee Trustee and delivered
         to the Guarantor, which resignation shall not take effect until a
         Successor Guarantee Trustee has been appointed and has accepted such
         appointment by an instrument in writing executed by such Successor
         Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor and the resigning
         Guarantee Trustee.

                  (d)      If no Successor Guarantee Trustee shall have been
         appointed and accepted appointment as provided in this Section 3.2
         within 60 days after delivery of an instrument of removal or
         resignation, the Guarantee Trustee resigning or being removed may
         petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a
         Successor Guarantee Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after
         prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a
         Successor Guarantee Trustee.

                  (e)      No Guarantee Trustee shall be liable for the acts or
         omissions to act of any Successor Guarantee Trustee.

                  (f)      Upon termination of this Guarantee or removal or
         resignation of the Guarantee Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.2, the
         Guarantor shall pay to the Guarantee Trustee all amounts owing to the
         Guarantee Trustee under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 accrued to the date of
         such termination, removal or resignation.

                                    GUARANTEE

SECTION 4.1. Guarantee.

                  (a)      The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
         to pay in full to the Holders the Guarantee Payments (without
         duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Issuer), as and when
         due, regardless of any defense (except as defense of payment by the
         Issuer), right of set-off or counterclaim that the Issuer may have or
         assert. The

                                       -9-

<PAGE>

         Guarantor's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by
         direct payment of the required amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders
         or by causing the Issuer to pay such amounts to the Holders.

                  (b)      The Guarantor hereby also agrees to assume any and
         all Obligations of the Issuer and in the event any such Obligation is
         not so assumed, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
         Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each
         Beneficiary the full payment, when and as due, of any and all
         Obligations to such Beneficiaries. This Guarantee is intended to be for
         the Beneficiaries who have received notice hereof.

SECTION 4.2. Waiver of Notice and Demand.

                  The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this
Guarantee and of any liability to which it applies or may apply, presentment,
demand for payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer
or any other Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of
nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and
demands.

SECTION 4.3. Obligations Not Affected.

                  The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the
Guarantor under this Guarantee shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason
of the happening from time to time of any of the following:

                  (a)      the release or waiver, by operation of law or
         otherwise, of the performance or observance by the Issuer of any
         express or implied agreement, covenant, term or condition relating to
         the Capital Securities to be performed or observed by the Issuer;

                  (b)      the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer
         of all or any portion of the Distributions, Redemption Price, Special
         Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or any other sums payable
         under the terms of the Capital Securities or the extension of time for
         the performance of any other obligation under, arising out of, or in
         connection with, the Capital Securities (other than an extension of
         time for the payment of the Distributions, Redemption Price, Special
         Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or other sums payable that
         results from the extension of any interest payment period on the
         Debentures or any extension of the maturity date of the Debentures
         permitted by the Indenture);

                  (c)      any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on
         the part of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right,
         privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders pursuant to the
         terms of the Capital Securities, or any action on the part of the
         Issuer granting indulgence or extension of any kind;

                  (d)      the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
         dissolution, sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency,
         bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
         arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar
         proceedings affecting, the Issuer or any of the assets of the Issuer;

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

                  (e)      any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the
         Capital Securities;

                  (f)      the settlement or compromise of any obligation
         guaranteed hereby or hereby incurred; or

                  (g)      any other circumstance whatsoever that might
         otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
         guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.3 that the obligations
         of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under
         any and all circumstances.

                  There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to,
or obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the
foregoing.

SECTION 4.4. Rights of Holders.

                  (a)      The Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of
         the Capital Securities have the right to direct the time, method and
         place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
         Guarantee Trustee in respect of this Guarantee or to direct the
         exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee
         under this Guarantee; provided, however, that (subject to Sections 2.1
         and 2.2) the Guarantee Trustee shall have the right to decline to
         follow any such direction if the Guarantee Trustee shall determine that
         the actions so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders
         not taking part in such direction or if the Guarantee Trustee being
         advised by legal counsel determines that the action or proceeding so
         directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Guarantee Trustee in good
         faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a
         trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers
         shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve
         the Guarantee Trustee in personal liability.

                  (b)      Any Holder of Capital Securities may institute a
         legal proceeding directly against the Guarantor to enforce the
         Guarantee Trustee's rights under this Guarantee, without first
         instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer, the Guarantee
         Trustee or any other Person. The Guarantor waives any right or remedy
         to require that any such action be brought first against the Issuer,
         the Guarantee Trustee or any other Person before so proceeding directly
         against the Guarantor.

SECTION 4.5. Guarantee of Payment.

                  This Guarantee creates a guarantee of payment and not of
collection.

SECTION 4.6. Subrogation.

                  The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of
the Holders of Capital Securities against the Issuer in respect of any amounts
paid to such Holders by the Guarantor under this Guarantee; provided, however,
that the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by applicable
provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any right that it may
acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other
agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Guarantee, if, after
giving effect to any such payment, any

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee. If any amount shall be paid to
the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to
hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over such amount to the
Holders.

SECTION 4.7. Independent Obligations.

                  The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are
independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Capital
Securities and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor
hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee
notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a)
through (g), inclusive, of Section 4.3 hereof.

SECTION 4.8. Enforcement.

                  A Beneficiary may enforce the Obligations of the Guarantor
contained in Section 4.1 (b) directly against the Guarantor, and the Guarantor
waives any right or remedy to require that any action be brought against the
Issuer or any other person or entity before proceeding against the Guarantor.

                  The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights (if any) of
any Beneficiary against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the
Beneficiaries by the Guarantor under this Guarantee; provided, however, that the
Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by applicable provisions of
law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of
subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as
a result of payment under this Guarantee, if, after giving effect to such
payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee.

                                    ARTICLE V
                    LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION

SECTION 5.1. Limitation of Transactions.

                  So long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if (a)
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or (b) the
Guarantor shall have selected an Extension Period as provided in the Declaration
and such period, or any extension thereof, shall have commenced and be
continuing, then the Guarantor may not (x) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment
with respect to, any of the Guarantor's capital stock or (y) make any payment of
principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem
any debt securities of the Guarantor that rank pari passu in all respects with
or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than (i) payments under this
Guarantee, (ii) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of
capital stock of the Guarantor (A) in connection with any employment contract,
benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more
employees, officers, directors, or consultants, (B) in connection with a
dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in connection
with the issuance of capital stock of the Guarantor (or securities convertible
into or exercisable for such capital stock), as consideration in an acquisition
transaction entered into prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default or the
applicable Extension Period, (iii) as a result of any exchange,
reclassification, combination or

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

conversion of any class or series of the Guarantor's capital stock (or any
capital stock of a subsidiary of the Guarantor) for any class or series of the
Guarantor's capital stock or of any class or series of the Guarantor's
indebtedness for any class or series of the Guarantor's capital stock, (iv) the
purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Guarantor's capital stock
pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the
security being converted or exchanged, (v) any declaration of a dividend in
connection with any stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock
or other property under any stockholder's rights plan, or the redemption or
repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (vi) any dividend in the form of
stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock
issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same
stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or
junior to such stock).

SECTION 5.2. Ranking.

                  This Guarantee will constitute an unsecured obligation of the
Guarantor and will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all
present and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Guarantor. By their acceptance thereof, each Holder of Capital Securities agrees
to the foregoing provisions of this Guarantee and the other terms set forth
herein.

                  The right of the Guarantor to participate in any distribution
of assets of any of its subsidiaries upon any such subsidiary's liquidation or
reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that
subsidiary, except to the extent the Guarantor may itself be recognized as a
creditor of that subsidiary. Accordingly, the Guarantor's obligations under this
Guarantee will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future
liabilities of the Guarantor's subsidiaries, and claimants should look only to
the assets of the Guarantor for payments thereunder. This Guarantee does not
limit the incurrence or issuance of other secured or unsecured debt of the
Guarantor, including Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, under any indenture
or agreement that the Guarantor may enter into in the future or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                   TERMINATION

SECTION 6.1. Termination.

                  This Guarantee shall terminate as to the Capital Securities
(i) upon full payment of the Redemption Price or the Special Redemption Price,
as the case may be, of all Capital Securities then outstanding, (ii) upon the
distribution of all of the Debentures to the Holders of all of the Capital
Securities or (iii) upon full payment of the amounts payable in accordance with
the Declaration upon dissolution of the Issuer. This Guarantee will continue to
be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
Holder of Capital Securities must restore payment of any sums paid under the
Capital Securities or under this Guarantee.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.1. Exculpation.

                  (a)      No Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or
         accountable in damages or otherwise to the Guarantor or any Covered
         Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or
         omission of such Indemnified Person in good faith in accordance with
         this Guarantee and in a manner that such Indemnified Person reasonably
         believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such
         Indemnified Person by this Guarantee or by law, except that an
         Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim
         incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's negligence or willful
         misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

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

SECTION 7.2. Indemnification.

                  (a)      The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Indemnified
         Person for, and to hold each Indemnified Person harmless against, any
         and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense incurred without
         negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Person,
         arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
         of the trust or trusts hereunder, including but not limited to the
         costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of
         the Indemnified Person defending itself against, or investigating, any
         claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
         any of the Indemnified Person's powers or duties hereunder. The
         obligation to indemnify as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall survive
         the resignation or removal of the Guarantee Trustee and the termination
         of this Guarantee.

                  (b)      Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under
         this Section 7.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
         Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
         against the Guarantor under this Section 7.2, notify the Guarantor in
         writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the
         Guarantor (i) will not relieve the Guarantor from liability under
         paragraph (a) above unless and to the extent that the Guarantor did not
         otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the
         forfeiture by the Guarantor of substantial rights and defenses and (ii)
         will not, in any event, relieve the Guarantor from any obligations to
         any Indemnified Person other than the indemnification obligation
         provided in paragraph (a) above. The Guarantor shall be entitled to
         appoint counsel of the Guarantor's choice at the Guarantor's

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

         expense to represent the Indemnified Person in any action for which
         indemnification is sought (in which case the Guarantor shall not
         thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate
         counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Persons except as set
         forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be
         satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the Guarantor's
         election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Person in any
         action, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate
         counsel (including local counsel), and the Guarantor shall bear the
         reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel (and local
         counsel), if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Guarantor to
         represent the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a
         conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
         targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the
         Guarantor and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded
         that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
         Indemnified Persons which are different from or additional to those
         available to the Guarantor, (iii) the Guarantor shall not have employed
         counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the
         Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the
         institution of such action or (iv) the Guarantor shall authorize the
         Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
         Guarantor. The Guarantor will not, without the prior written consent of
         the Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to the entry
         of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
         action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
         contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified
         Persons are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless
         such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
         release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of
         such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

SECTION 7.3. Compensation; Reimbursement of Expenses.

                  The Guarantor agrees:

                  (a)      to pay to the Guarantee Trustee from time to time
         such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the
         parties shall agree to from time to time (which compensation shall not
         be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
         trustee of an express trust); and

                  (b)      except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
         reimburse the Guarantee Trustee upon request for all reasonable
         expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in
         accordance with any provision of this Guarantee (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 or willful misconduct.

                  The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Guarantee Trustee and the termination of this
Guarantee.

SECTION 8.1. Successors and Assigns.

                  All guarantees and agreements contained in this Guarantee
shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives of

Securities then outstanding. Except in connection with any merger or
consolidation of the Guarantor with or into another entity or any sale, transfer
or lease of the Guarantor's assets to another entity, in each case to the extent
