     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

      SECTION 4.01. Exculpation. (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered
Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the
Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within
the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this
Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for
any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's
negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; and

      (b) an Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good
faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions,
reports or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the

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

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

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

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

            (ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard,

the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be
subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Declaration or by
applicable law.

      SECTION 4.03.  Indemnification.  (a) To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Sponsor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified

                                       9
<PAGE>

Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such
Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority
conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration, except that no
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss,
damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of negligence or
willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; and

      (b) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses
(including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any
claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced
by the Sponsor prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Sponsor of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined
that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in
Section 4.03(a).

      SECTION 4.04. Outsider Businesses. Any Covered Person and the Delaware
Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any
nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to
the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall
have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent
ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom and the pursuit of any such
venture, even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be
deemed wrongful or improper. No Covered Person or the Delaware Trustee shall be
obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the
Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the
Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person and the Delaware
Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a
partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment
or other opportunity. Any Covered Person and the Delaware Trustee may engage or
be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any
Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for or
may act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations
of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.
