      4.1   DISTRIBUTIONS.

            (a)   Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and
                  shall accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust
                  available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions

                  the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The
                  amount of Distributions for any partial period shall be
                  computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a
                  360-day year of twelve 30-day months. During any Extended
                  Interest Payment Period with respect to the Debentures,
                  Distributions on the Preferred Securities shall be deferred
                  for a period equal to the Extended Interest Payment Period.

                  Trust has funds on hand and immediately available by 12:30
                  p.m. on each Distribution Date in the Payment Account for the

                  Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as
                  they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust
                  Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be the
                  15th day of March, June, September or December for

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

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

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

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

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

                  In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is
                  payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the
                  Redemption Price payable on such date shall be made on the
                  next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
                  interest or other payment in respect of any such delay)
                  except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
                  calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
                  immediately preceding Business Day (and without any
                  reduction of interest or any other payment in respect of
                  any such acceleration), in each case with the same force
                  and effect as if made on such date. In the event that
                  payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust
                  Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or
                  refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the
                  Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such
                  Trust Securities shall continue to accumulate, at the then
                  applicable rate, from the Redemption Date originally
                  established by the Trust for such Trust Securities to the
                  date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case
                  the actual payment date shall be the date fixed for
                  redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

            (e)   Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall
                  be made to the record holders thereof as they appear on the
                  Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant
                  record date, which shall be the date 15 days prior to the
                  relevant Redemption Date.

            (f)   Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding
                  Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then
                  the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be
                  redeemed shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (based on
                  Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and the
                  Preferred Securities. The particular Preferred Securities to
                  be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to
                  the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the
                  Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for
                  redemption, by such method (including, without limitation, by
                  lot) as the Property Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate
                  and which may provide for the selection for redemption of
                  portions (equal to such Liquidation Amount or an integral
                  multiple of such Liquidation

                                       -20-
<Page>

                  Amount in excess thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of
                  Preferred Securities of a denomination larger than such
                  Liquidation Amount; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event the
                  redemption relates only to Preferred Securities purchased and
                  held by the Depositor being redeemed in exchange for a Like
                  Amount of Debentures, the Property Trustee shall select those
                  particular Preferred Securities for redemption. The Property
                  Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in
                  writing of the Preferred Securities selected for redemption
                  and, in the case of any Preferred Securities selected for
                  partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be
                  redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the
                  context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
                  redemption of Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case
                  of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in
                  part, to the portion of the Liquidation Amount of Preferred
                  Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

      4.3   SUBORDINATION OF COMMON SECURITIES.

            (a)   Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if
                  applicable) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust
                  Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section
                  4.2(f), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Preferred
                  Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust
                  Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if on any Distribution
                  Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a
                  Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including
                  Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or Redemption Price of,
                  any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the
                  redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common
                  Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of
                  all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including Additional
                  Amounts, if applicable) on all Outstanding Preferred
                  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 Preferred Securities then called for redemption,
                  shall have been made or provided for, and all funds
                  immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be
                  applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions
                  (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or the
                  Redemption Price of, Preferred Securities then due and
                  payable.

            (b)   In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default
                  resulting from a Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of
                  Common Securities shall be deemed to have waived any right to
                  act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust
                  Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with
                  respect to the Preferred Securities shall have

                                       -21-
<Page>

                  been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until any such
                  Event of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to
                  the Preferred Securities shall have been so cured, waived or
                  otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on
                  behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and not the
                  Holder of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the
                  Preferred Securities shall have the right to direct the
                  Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

      4.4   PAYMENT PROCEDURES.

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

      4.5   TAX RETURNS AND REPORTS.

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

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

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

      4.7   PAYMENTS UNDER INDENTURE.

      Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities shall
be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder has directly
received under the Indenture pursuant to Section 5.13(b) or (c) hereof.

                          TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES

      5.1   INITIAL OWNERSHIP.

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

      5.2   THE TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

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

      5.3   EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF TRUST SECURITIES
            CERTIFICATES.

            (a)   On the Closing Date and on any Option Closing Date, the
                  Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust Securities
                  Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided
                  in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Trust
                  by at least one of the Administrative Trustees and delivered
                  to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its
                  Chief Executive Officer, President, any Vice President or its
                  Treasurer without further corporate action by the Depositor,
                  in authorized denominations.

            (b)   A Preferred Securities Certificate shall not be valid until
                  authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized
                  signatory of the Property Trustee in substantially the form of
                  Exhibit E attached hereto. The signature shall be conclusive
                  evidence that the Preferred Securities Certificate has been
                  authenticated under this Trust Agreement. Each Preferred
                  Security Certificate shall be dated the date of its
                  authentication.

      Upon the written order of the Trust signed by one of the Administrative
Trustees, the Property Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery the Preferred Securities Certificates.

                                       -23-
<Page>

      The Property Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent acceptable to the
Trust to authenticate the Preferred Securities. An Authenticating Agent may
authenticate the Preferred Securities whenever the Property Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Trust Agreement to authentication by the Property Trustee
includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same
rights as the Property Trustee to deal with the Company or the Trust.

      5.3A. GLOBAL PREFERRED SECURITY

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

            (b)   Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement,
                  no Global Preferred Security may be exchanged for Preferred
                  Securities registered in the names of persons other than the
                  Depositary or its nominee unless (i) the Depositary notifies
                  the Debenture Trustee that it is unwilling or unable to
                  continue as a depositary for such Global Preferred Securities
                  and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor
                  depositary, (ii) the Depositor executes and delivers to the
                  Debenture Trustee a written order stating that it elects to
                  terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or
                  (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Debenture
                  Event of Default.

            (c)   If a Preferred Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part
                  for a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Security, then
                  either (i) such Global Preferred Security shall be so
                  surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this
                  Article V or (ii) the Liquidation Amount thereof shall be
                  reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof
                  to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the Liquidation
                  Amount of such other Preferred Securities to be so exchanged
                  for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by
                  means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the
                  Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in
                  accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary for
                  such Global Preferred Security (the "Applicable Procedures"),
                  shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized
                  representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its
                  records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global
                  Preferred Security by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
                  registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees shall
                  execute and the Property Trustee shall, subject to Section
                  5.4(b) and as otherwise provided in this Article V,
                  authenticate and deliver any Preferred Securities issuable in
                  exchange for such Global Preferred Security (or any portion
                  thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing
                  Agency. The Property Trustee shall not be

                                       -24-
<Page>

                  liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
                  conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying
                  on, such instructions.

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

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

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

      5.4   REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF PREFERRED SECURITIES
            CERTIFICATES.

            (a)   The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or
                  agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a register or
                  registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities
                  Certificates and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3A,
                  transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates
                  (herein referred to as the "Securities Register") in which the
                  registrar designated by the Depositor (the "Securities
                  Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
                  prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Preferred
                  Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates
                  (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities
                  Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of
                  Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The
                  Property Trustee shall be the initial Securities Registrar.

                                       -25-

            (b)   Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3A, upon surrender for
                  registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities
                  Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
                  Section 5.8, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them
                  shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated
                  transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred
                  Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like
                  aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by
                  such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The Securities
                  Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of
                  any Preferred Securities that have been called for redemption.
                  At the option of a Holder, Preferred Securities Certificates
                  may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates
                  in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like
                  aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Preferred
                  Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or
                  agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8.

            (c)   Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or
                  surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, subject
                  to the provisions of Section 5.3A, shall be accompanied by a
                  written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
                  Property Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by
                  the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each
                  Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for registration
                  of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently
                  disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its
                  customary practice. The Trust shall not be required to (i)
                  issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Preferred
                  Securities during a period beginning at the opening of
                  business 15 calendar days before the date of mailing of a
                  notice of redemption of any Preferred Securities called for
                  redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of
                  such mailing; or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any
                  Preferred Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or
                  in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Preferred
                  Securities being redeemed in part.

            (d)   No service charge shall be made for any registration of
                  transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates,
                  subject to the provisions of Section 5.3A, but the Securities
                  Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
                  tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
                  with any transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities
                  Certificates.

            (e)   Preferred Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in
                  part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
                  this Trust Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by
                  law, any transfer or purported transfer of any Preferred
                  Security not made in accordance with this Trust Agreement
                  shall be null and void. A Preferred Security that is not a
                  Global Preferred Security may be transferred, in whole or
                  in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of
                  another Preferred Security that is not a Global Preferred
                  Security as

                                       -26-
<Page>

                  provided in Section 5.4(a). A beneficial interest in a Global
                  Preferred Security may be exchanged for a Preferred Security
                  that is not a Global Preferred Security only as provided in
                  Section 5.3A.

      5.5   MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

      If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to
the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities
Certificate; and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and
the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such
Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust shall
execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust
Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with
the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 5.5, the
Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall constitute conclusive evidence of an
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities
Certificate shall be found at any time.

      5.6   PERSONS DEEMED SECURITYHOLDERS.

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

      5.7   ACCESS TO LIST OF SECURITYHOLDERS' NAMES AND ADDRESSES.

      At any time when the Property Trustee is not also acting as the Securities
Registrar, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Property Trustee (a) within five Business Days of March
15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, a list, in such form as
the Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Securityholders as of the most recent record date; and (b) promptly after
receipt by any Administrative Trustee or the Depositor of a request therefor
from the Property Trustee in order to enable the Property Trustee to discharge
its obligations under this Trust Agreement, in each case to the extent such
information is in the possession or control of the Administrative Trustees or
the Depositor and is not identical to a previously supplied list or has not
otherwise been received by the Property Trustee in its capacity as Securities
Registrar. The rights of Securityholders to communicate with other
Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under
the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights of the Trustee shall be as
provided in the Trust Indenture Act. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a
Trust

                                       -27-
<Page>

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

      5.8   MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

      The Administrative Trustees shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in
The City of New York, or other location designated by the Administrative
Trustees, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Preferred Securities
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust
Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially
designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Property Trustee, The Bank of New
York, as the principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The
Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to
the Securityholders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or
any such office or agency.

      5.9   APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.

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

      5.10  OWNERSHIP OF COMMON SECURITIES BY DEPOSITOR.

      On the Closing Date and on any Option Closing Date, the Depositor shall
acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common
Securities (other than a transfer in connection with a merger or
consolidation of the Depositor into another corporation pursuant to Section
12.1 of the Indenture) shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause
each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a
legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN
THE TRUST AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW)."

      5.11  TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

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

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

      5.12  NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY.

      To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Preferred Securities are
represented by a Global Preferred Securities Certificate, the Trustees shall
give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the
Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to provide notice to the owners of
the beneficial interest in the Global Preferred Securities.

      5.13  RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

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

                                       -29-
<Page>

                  delivered to Holders of the Preferred Securities against
                  payment of the purchase price therefor, the Preferred
                  Securities shall be fully paid and nonassessable interests in
                  the Trust. The Holders of the Preferred Securities, in their
                  capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation
                  of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
                  corporations for profit organized under the General
                  Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

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

            (c)   For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding,
                  upon a Debenture Event of Default arising from the failure to
                  pay interest or principal on the Debentures, the Holders of
                  any Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall, to the
                  fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to directly
                  institute proceedings for enforcement of payment to such
                  Holders of principal of or interest on the Debentures having a
                  principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of the
                  Preferred Securities of such Holders.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                    ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

      6.1   LIMITATIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS.

            (a)   Except as provided in this Section 6.1, in Sections 5.13, 8.10
                  and 10.2 and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by
                  law, no record Holder of Preferred Securities shall have any
                  right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the
                  administration, operation and management of the Trust or the
                  obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
                  set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities
                  Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the
                  Securityholders from time to time as partners or members of an
                  association.

            (b)   So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on
                  behalf of the Trust, the Trustees shall not (i) direct the
                  time, method and place of

                                       -30-
<Page>

                  conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
                  Debenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred
                  on the Debenture Trustee with respect to such Debentures; (ii)
                  waive any past default which is waivable under Article VII of
                  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 to any amendment,
                  modification or termination of the Indenture or the
                  Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in
                  each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at
                  least a majority in Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding
                  Preferred Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that where a consent
                  under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder
                  of outstanding Debentures affected thereby, no such consent
                  shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior
                  written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The
                  Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or
                  approved by a vote of the Holders of the Outstanding Preferred
                  Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the
                  Outstanding Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall
                  notify each Holder of the Outstanding Preferred Securities of
                  any notice of default received from the Debenture Trustee with
                  respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the
                  foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred
                  Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the
                  Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an
                  Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
                  that the Trust shall continue to be classified as a grantor
                  trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation for
                  United States federal income tax purposes on account of such
                  action.

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

      6.2   NOTICE OF MEETINGS.

Preferred Securityholder of record, at his registered address, at least 15 days
and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business
properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the
notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without
further notice.

      6.3   MEETINGS OF PREFERRED SECURITYHOLDERS.

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

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

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

      6.4   VOTING RIGHTS.

      Securityholders shall be entitled to one vote for each $10 of Liquidation
Amount represented by their Trust Securities (with any fractional multiple
thereof rounded up or down as the case may be to the closest integral multiple)
in respect of any matter as to which such Securityholders are entitled to vote.

      6.5   PROXIES, ETC.

      At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholder entitled to vote
thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy, shall be voted at any meeting
unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrative Trustees, or
with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrative Trustees may
direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken.
Only Holders shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly
by several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by
proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be
present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their
proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote

                                       -32-
<Page>

shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to
be executed by or on behalf of a Securityholder shall be deemed valid unless
challenged at or prior to its exercise, and, the burden of proving invalidity
shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years
after its date of execution.

      6.6   SECURITYHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.

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

      6.7   RECORD DATE FOR VOTING AND OTHER PURPOSES.

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

      6.8   ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

            (a)   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
                  consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this
                  Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Securityholders
                  may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
                  substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in
                  person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except
                  as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall
                  become effective when such instrument or instruments are
                  delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or
                  instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
                  thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the
                  Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof
                  of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing
                  any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
                  Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in
                  favor of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this
                  Section 6.8.

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

                                       -33-
<Page>

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

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

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

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

      6.9   INSPECTION OF RECORDS.

      Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property
Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection at the principal
executive office of the Trust (as indicated in Section 2.2) by Holders of the
Trust Securities during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related
to such Holder's interest as a Holder.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                    TRUSTEES

      8.1   CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

            (a)   The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as
                  provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the
                  Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding
                  the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall
                  require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or
                  otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
                  any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
                  their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable grounds
                  for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
                  indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
                  assured to it. No Administrative Trustee nor the Delaware
                  Trustee shall be liable for its act or omissions hereunder
                  except as a result of its own gross negligence or willful
                  misconduct. The Property Trustee's liability shall be
                  determined under the Trust Indenture Act. Whether or not
                  therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust
                  Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
                  of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to
                  the provisions of this Section 8.1. To the extent that, at law
                  or in equity, the Delaware Trustee or an Administrative
                  Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
                  liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the
                  Securityholders, the Delaware Trustee or such Administrative
                  Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any
                  Securityholder for such Trustee's good faith reliance on the
                  provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this
                  Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties
                  and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee or the Administrative
                  Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by
                  the Depositor and the Securityholders to replace such other
                  duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee or the
                  Administrative Trustees, as the case may be.

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

                                       -38-

                  Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the
                  Trust Indenture Act.

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

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

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

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

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

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

      8.2   CERTAIN NOTICES.

            (a)   Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of
                  Default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property
                  Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent
                  provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to
                  the Securityholders, the Administrative

                                       -39-
<Page>

                  Trustees and the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall
                  have been cured or waived. For purposes of this Section 8.2
                  the term "Event of Default" means any event that is, or after
                  notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
                  Default.

            (b)   The Administrative Trustees shall transmit, to the
                  Securityholders in the manner and to the extent provided in
                  Section 10.8, notice of the Depositor's election to begin or
                  further extend an Extended Interest Payment Period on the
                  Debentures (unless such election shall have been revoked) and
                  of any election by the Depositor to accelerate the Maturity
                  Date of the Debentures, as defined in the Indenture, within
                  the time specified for transmitting such notice to the holders
                  of the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture as originally
                  executed.

      8.3   CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

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

            (b)   if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement,
                  the Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative
                  courses of action; or (ii) in construing any of the provisions
                  of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee finds the same
                  ambiguous or inconsistent with other provisions contained
                  herein; or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the
                  application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then,
                  except as to any matter as to which the Preferred
                  Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this
                  Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice
                  to the Depositor requesting written instructions of the
                  Depositor as to the course of action to be taken and the
                  Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from
                  taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be
                  instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by
                  the Depositor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Property Trustee
                  does not receive such instructions of the Depositor within 10
                  Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such
                  reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice
                  (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than 2
                  Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or
                  refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this
                  Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best
                  interests of the Securityholders, in

                                       -40-
<Page>

                  which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability
                  except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful
                  misconduct;

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

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

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

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

            (g)   the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
                  any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust
                  Agreement at the request or direction of any of the
                  Securityholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such
                  Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee
                  reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses
                  and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
                  with such request or direction; nothing contained herein
                  shall, however, relieve the Property Trustee of the
                  obligation, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (that
                  has not been cured or waived) to exercise such of the rights
                  and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and to use
                  the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
                  prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in
                  the conduct of his own affairs;

            (h)   the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any
                  investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
                  resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,

                                       -41-
<Page>

                  opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
                  bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or
                  other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so
                  by one or more Securityholders, but the Property Trustee may
                  make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
                  matters as it may see fit;

            (i)   the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
                  hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or
                  by or through its agents or attorneys, and the Property
                  Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of
                  such other agents or attorneys; provided that the Property
                  Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence or
                  recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or
                  attorney appointed by it hereunder;

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

            (k)   except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust
                  Agreement, the Property Trustee shall not be under any
                  obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the
                  provisions of this Trust Agreement. No provision of this Trust
                  Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on
                  the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise
                  any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on
                  it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in
                  which the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent
                  in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or
                  acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or
                  obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the
                  Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

      8.4   NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

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

                                       -42-

      8.5   MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

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

      The Depositor agrees:

            (a)   to pay to the Trustees from time to time compensation for all
                  services rendered by them hereunder (which compensation shall
                  not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
                  compensation of a trustee of an express trust), in the case of
                  the Property Trustee, as set forth in a written agreement
                  between the Depositor and the Property Trustee;

            (b)   except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse
                  the Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses,

                  accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement
                  (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
                  disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such
                  expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to
                  such Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
                  (or, in the case of the Administrative Trustees or the
                  Delaware Trustee, any such expense, disbursement or advance as
                  may be attributable to its, his or her gross negligence, bad
                  faith or willful misconduct); and

            (c)   to indemnify each of the Trustees or any predecessor Trustee
                  for, and to hold the Trustees harmless against, any loss,

                  nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with the
                  acceptance or administration of this Trust Agreement,
                  including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
                  any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
                  performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except
                  any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
                  attributable to such Trustee's negligence, bad faith or
                  willful misconduct for (or, in the case of the Administrative
                  Trustees or the Delaware Trustee, any such expense,
                  disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its, his or
                  her gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct).

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

            (a)   There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with
                  respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be
                  a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act
                  to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at
                  least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of

                  requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then
                  for the purposes of this Section 8.7, the combined capital and
                  surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined
                  capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
                  condition so published. If at any time the Property Trustee
                  with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be
                  eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
                  8.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
                  effect hereinafter specified in this Article VIII. The
                  Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same
                  Person.

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

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

      8.8   CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

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

      8.9   CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEE.

            (a)   Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting
                  the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any
                  jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at
                  the time be located, the Depositor shall have power to
                  appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee,
                  the Depositor shall for such purpose join with the Property
                  Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all
                  instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one
                  or more Persons approved

                                       -44-
<Page>

                  by the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly
                  with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust
                  Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate
                  trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers
                  as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to
                  vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any
                  property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
                  subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.9. If the
                  Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days
                  after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a
                  Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
                  Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such
                  appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed
                  pursuant to this Section 8.9 shall either be (i) a natural
                  person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the
                  United States; or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place
                  of business in the United States that shall act through one or
                  more persons authorized to bind such entity.

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

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

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

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

                  (iii) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in
                        writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of
                        the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove
                        any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this
                        Section 8.9, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default
                        has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee
                        shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or
                        remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without
                        the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written
                        request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall
                        join with the Property Trustee in the execution,
                        delivery and performance of all instruments and
                        agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such
                        resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or
                        separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed
                        in the manner provided in this Section 8.9.

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

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

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

      8.10  RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

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

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

            (c)   Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
                  continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of
                  the Common Securityholder. If a Debenture Event of Default
                  shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or
                  the Delaware Trustee,

                                       -46-
<Page>

                  or both of them, may be removed at such time by Act of the
                  Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
                  Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its
                  individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An
                  Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Common
                  Securityholder at any time.

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

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

                                       -47-
<Page>

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

      8.11  ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

            (a)   In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant
                  Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust,
                  the retiring Relevant Trustee (if requested by the
                  Depositor) and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect
                  to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an
                  instrument hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee
                  shall accept such appointment and which shall contain such
                  provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer
                  and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant
                  Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
                  retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust
                  Securities and the Trust and upon the execution and
                  delivery of such instrument the resignation or removal of
                  the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the
                  extent provided therein and each such successor 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 with respect to the
                  Trust Securities and the Trust; but, on request of the
                  Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring
                  Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
                  such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all
                  proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant
                  Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and
                  the Trust.

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

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

      8.12  MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.

      Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any
Administrative Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person

                                       -48-

resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially
all the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the

otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VIII, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto.

      8.13  PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST DEPOSITOR OR TRUST.

      If and when the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be or
become a creditor of the Depositor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the

Trustee, as the case may be, shall be subject to and shall take all actions
necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or Trust (or any such
other obligor).

      8.17  NUMBER OF TRUSTEES.

            (a)   The number of Trustees shall be five, provided that the Holder
                  of all of the Common Securities by written instrument may
                  increase or decrease the number of Administrative Trustees.
                  The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same
                  Person.

            (b)   If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the
                  number of Administrative Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
                  Section 8.17(a), or if the number of Trustees is increased
                  pursuant to Section 8.17(a), a vacancy shall occur. The
                  vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance
                  with Section 8.10.

            (c)   The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
                  incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee
                  shall not operate to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in
                  the number of Administrative Trustees shall occur, until such
                  vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrative
                  Trustee in accordance with Section 8.10, the Administrative
                  Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and
                  notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), shall
                  have all the powers granted to the Administrative Trustees and
                  shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrative
                  Trustees by this Trust Agreement.

      8.18  DELEGATION OF POWER.

            (a)   Any Administrative Trustee may, by power of attorney
                  consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural
                  person over the age of 21 his or her power for the purpose of
                  executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.7(a); and

            (b)   The Administrative Trustees shall have power to delegate from
                  time to time to such of their number or to the Depositor the
                  doing of such things and the execution of such instruments
                  either in the name of the Trust or the names of the
                  Administrative Trustees or otherwise as the Administrative
                  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.

      8.19  VOTING.

      Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, the consent or
approval of the Administrative Trustees shall require consent or approval by not
less than a majority of the Administrative Trustees, unless there are only two,
in which case both must consent.

      9.4   LIQUIDATION.

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

                  (i)   state the Liquidation Date;

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

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

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

            (c)   Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the
                  Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities shall no longer be
                  deemed to be outstanding; (ii) certificates representing a
                  Like Amount of Debentures shall be issued to Holders of Trust
                  Securities Certificates upon surrender of such certificates to
                  the Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange; (iii)
                  the Depositor shall use its reasonable efforts to have the
                  Debentures listed on the Nasdaq National Market or on such
                  other securities exchange or other organization as the
                  Preferred Securities are then listed or traded; (iv) any Trust
                  Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange shall
                  be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, accruing
                  interest at the rate provided for in the Debentures from the
                  last Distribution Date on

                                       -52-
<Page>

                  which a Distribution was made on such Trust Securities
                  Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and
                  until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of
                  interest or principal shall be made to Holders of Trust
                  Securities Certificates with respect to such Debentures); and
                  (v) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities
                  shall cease, except the right of such Securityholders to
                  receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities
                  Certificates.

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

      9.5   MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, AMALGAMATIONS OR REPLACEMENTS OF THE TRUST.

      The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person, except pursuant
to this 9.5. At the request of the Depositor, with the consent of the
Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, the Trust
may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a
trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided, that (i) such
successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the
Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities; or (b) substitutes for the
Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as
the Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") so long as the
Successor Securities rank the same as the Preferred Securities rank in
priority with

                                       -53-
<Page>

respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and
otherwise; (ii) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor
entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties as the Property
Trustee as the holder of the Debentures; (iii) the Successor Securities are
listed or traded, or any Successor Securities shall be listed or traded upon
notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other
organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any; (iv)
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the
holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any
material respect; (v) such successor entity has a purpose substantially
identical to that of the Trust; (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has
received an Opinion of Counsel 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
Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
respect; and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor
entity shall be required to register as an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act; and (vii) the Depositor owns all of the common
securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such
successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided
by the Guarantee, the Debentures, this Trust Agreement and the Expense
Agreement. For purposes of this Section 9.5, any such consolidation, merger,
sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition as a result of which (a) the
Company is not the surviving Person, and (b) the same Person is not both (i) the
primary obligor in respect of the Debentures and (ii) the Guarantor under that
certain Preferred Securities Guarantee Agreement of even date herewith (the
"Guarantee") between the Company and The Bank of New York, shall be deemed to
constitute a replacement of the Trust by a successor entity; provided further
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that upon the consummation of
such a consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition,
the parent company (if any) of the Company, or its successor, is a bank holding
company or financial holding company or comparably regulated financial
institution, such parent company shall guarantee the obligations of the Trust
(and any successor thereto) under the Preferred Securities (including any
Successor Securities) at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee, the
Debentures, the Trust Agreement and the Expense Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of holders of 100% in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge
with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other
Person to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would cause the Trust or the
successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United
States federal income tax purposes.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      10.1  LIMITATION OF RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

      The death or incapacity of any Person having an interest, beneficial or
otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust
Agreement, nor entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such Person or any
Securityholder for such Person, to claim an accounting, take any action or bring
any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the arrangements
contemplated hereby, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and
liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

      10.2  AMENDMENT.

            (a)   This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
                  Trustees and the Depositor, without the consent of any
                  Securityholders, (i) as provided in Section 8.11 with respect
                  to acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee; (ii) to
                  cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein
                  or therein which may be inconsistent with any other provision
                  herein or therein, or to make any other provisions with
                  respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust
                  Agreement, that shall not be inconsistent with the other
                  provisions of this Trust Agreement; or (iii) to modify,
                  eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to
                  such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Trust
                  shall be classified for United States federal income tax
                  purposes as a grantor trust at all times that any Trust
                  Securities are outstanding or to ensure that the Trust shall
                  not be required to register as an "investment company" under
                  the Investment Company Act; or (iv) to reduce or increase the
                  Liquidation Amount per Trust Security and simultaneously to
                  correspondingly increase or decrease the number of Trust
                  Securities issued and Outstanding solely for the purpose of
                  maintaining the eligibility of the Preferred Securities for
                  quotation or listing on any national securities exchange or
                  other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then
                  quoted or listed (including, if applicable, the Nasdaq
                  National Market); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of
                  clause (ii), such action shall not adversely affect in any
                  material respect the interests of any Securityholder, and
                  provided further, that in the case of clause (iv) the
                  aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities
                  Outstanding upon completion of any such reduction must be the
                  same as the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust
                  Securities Outstanding immediately prior to such reduction or
                  increase; and any amendments of this Trust Agreement shall
                  become effective when notice thereof is given to the
                  Securityholders (or in the case of an amendment pursuant to
                  clause (iv), as of the date specified in the notice).

            (b)   Except as provided in Section 6.1(c) or Section 10.2(c)
                  hereof, any provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended
                  by the Trustees and the Depositor (i) with the consent of
                  Trust Securityholders representing not less than a majority
                  (based upon Liquidation Amounts) of the Trust Securities then
                  Outstanding; and (ii) upon receipt by the Trustees of an
                  Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the
                  exercise of any power granted to the Trustees in accordance
                  with such amendment shall not affect the Trust's status as a
                  grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or
                  the Trust's exemption from status of an "investment company"
                  under the Investment Company Act.

            (c)   In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
                  Trust Agreement, without the consent of each affected
                  Securityholder (such consent being obtained in accordance with
                  Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this Trust Agreement may not be
                  amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution
                  on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the
                  amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect of
                  the Trust Securities as of a specified date; or (ii) restrict
                  the right of a Securityholder to institute suit for the
                  enforcement of any such payment on or after such date;
                  notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the
                  unanimous consent of the Securityholders (such consent being
                  obtained in accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this
                  paragraph (c) of this Section 10.2 may not be amended.

                  this Trust Agreement by any of the provisions of the Trust
                  Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. If any
                  provision of this Trust Agreement modifies or excludes any
                  provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified
                  or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to

                  case may be.

            (d)   The application of the Trust Indenture Act to this Trust

                 POWERS, DUTIES AND RIGHTS OF GUARANTEE TRUSTEE

      3.1   POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE GUARANTEE TRUSTEE.

            (a)   This Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be held by the
                  Guarantee Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the
                  Preferred Securities, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not
                  transfer this Preferred Securities Guarantee to any Person
                  except a Holder of Preferred Securities exercising his or her
                  rights pursuant to Section 5.4(b) or to a Successor Guarantee
                  Trustee on acceptance by such Successor Guarantee Trustee of
                  its appointment to act as Successor Guarantee Trustee. The
                  right, title and interest of the Guarantee Trustee shall
                  automatically vest in any Successor Guarantee Trustee, and
                  such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether
                  or not conveyancing documents have been executed and delivered
                  pursuant to the appointment of such Successor Guarantee
                  Trustee.

            (b)   If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer
                  of the Guarantee Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the
                  Guarantee Trustee shall enforce this Preferred Securities
                  Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders of the Preferred
                  Securities.

            (c)   The Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of
                  Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may
                  have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as
                  are specifically set forth in this Preferred Securities
                  Guarantee, and no implied covenants shall be read into this
                  Preferred Securities Guarantee against the Guarantee Trustee.
                  In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been
                  cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6) 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 Preferred Securities 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 Preferred Securities 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 such 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 Preferred Securities 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
                              Preferred Securities Guarantee, and no implied
                              covenants or obligations shall be read into this
                              Preferred Securities 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 Preferred
                              Securities Guarantee; but in the case of any such
                              certificates or opinions that by any provision
                              hereof are specifically required to be furnished
                              to the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee
                              shall be under a duty to examine the same to
                              determine whether or not they conform to the
                              requirements of this Preferred Securities
                              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
                        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 direction of the Holders of
                        not less than a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
                        Preferred 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 Preferred Securities Guarantee; and

<Page>

                  (iv)  no provision of this Preferred Securities 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 or liability
                        is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
                        Preferred Securities Guarantee or indemnity, reasonably
                        satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee, against such risk

                        Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and
                        powers vested in it by this Preferred Securities
                        Guarantee;

                  (vii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to make any

                        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

                        its agent's taking such action; and

                  (x)   whenever in the administration of this Preferred
                        Securities Guarantee the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it
                        desirable to receive

            (b)   The Guarantee Trustee shall not be removed in accordance with
                  Section 4.2(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 instrument in writing executed by such Successor Guarantee
                  Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor and the resigning

                  within 60 days after delivery to the Guarantor of an
                  instrument of resignation, the resigning Guarantee Trustee 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.
