                 necessary or desirable to sell the Preferred Securities in a
                 transaction or series of transactions pursuant thereto;

                 in which to take appropriate action to qualify or register for

                 filing of any documents to be executed and filed by the Trust
                 or on behalf of the Trust, as the Depositor deems necessary or
                 advisable in order to comply with the applicable laws of any
                 such state or other jurisdictions;

          (iii)  the preparation for filing by the Trust and execution on behalf
                 of the Trust of an application to the New York Stock Exchange
                 or any other national stock exchange or the Nasdaq National
                 Market for listing, upon notice of issuance, of any Preferred
                 Securities;

          (iv)   the preparation for filing by the Trust with the SEC and the
                 execution on behalf of the Trust of a registration statement on
                 Form 8-A relating to the registration of the Preferred
                 Securities under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
                 including any amendments thereto;

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

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

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

          and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Payment Account for

     SECTION 4.1.   Distributions.

     (a)  The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the

          be made on the Trust Securities at the rate and on the dates that
          payments of interest (including Additional Interest) are made on the

          (i)  Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and
               will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust
               available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall
               accrue from ____________, 200____, and, except to the extent that
               the Depositor exercises its right to defer the payment of
               interest on the Debentures in accordance with the Indenture,
               shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on _______ 15 and
               ___________ 15 of each year, commencing on ________________ 15,
               200___. If any date on which a Distribution would otherwise be
               payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the
               payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding
               day that is a Business Day (and, so long as such payment is made
               on the next succeeding Business Day, without any interest or
               other payment in respect of any such delay), or, if such Business
               Day falls in the next calendar year, on the

                         immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with
                         the same force and effect as if made on such date (each
                         date on which Distributions are payable in accordance
                         with this Section 4.1(a), a "Distribution Date").

               (ii)      In the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor
                         exercises its right under the Indenture to defer the
                         payment of interest on the Debentures, Distributions on
                         the Preferred Securities shall be deferred but shall
                         continue to accumulate. Distributions on the Trust
                         Securities shall be payable at a rate of ______% per
                         annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust
                         Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for any
                         full period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
                         year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of
                         Distributions for any partial period shall be computed
                         on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a
                         360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of
                         Distributions payable for any period shall include the
                         Additional Amounts, if any.

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

     (b)       Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a
               Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they
               appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the
               close of business on the relevant record date for such
               Distribution Date, which shall be one Business Day prior to such
               Distribution Date; provided, however, that in the event that the
               Preferred Securities do not remain in book-entry-only form, the
               relevant record date for a Distribution Date shall be the date 15
               days prior to such Distribution Date. Distributions payable on
               any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on any
               Distribution Date as a result of the Depositor having failed to
               make an interest payment under the Debentures will cease to be
               payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are
               registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted
               Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name
               such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date
               or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such
               defaulted interest established in accordance with the Indenture.

     SECTION 4.2.   Redemption.
                    ----------

     (a)      On each Debenture Redemption Date and upon the stated maturity of
              the Debentures, the Trust will be required to redeem a Like
              Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

     (b)      Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by
              first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor
              more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of
              Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such

                                      18
<PAGE>

               Holder's address appearing in the Security Register. All notices
               of redemption shall state:

               (i)       the Redemption Date (if any);

               (ii)      the Redemption Price, or if the Redemption Price cannot
                         be calculated prior to the time the notice is required
                         to be sent, an estimate of the Redemption Price
                         provided pursuant to the Indenture together with a
                         statement that it is an estimate and that the actual
                         Redemption Price will be calculated on the third
                         Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an
                         estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of
                         the actual Redemption Price on the date that such
                         Redemption Price is calculated);

               (iii)     the CUSIP number (if any);

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

               (v)       that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price in
                         respect of each Trust Security to be redeemed will be
                         due and payable and that Distributions thereon will
                         cease to accrue on and after said date (except as
                         provided in the last sentence of Section 4.2(d)); and

               (vi)      the place or places of business where the 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
               due and payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that
               the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment
               Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.

     (d)       If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect
               of any Preferred Securities then, by 10:00 A.M., New York City
               time, on the Redemption Date, the Depositor shall deposit
               sufficient funds with the Property Trustee to pay the Redemption
               Price. If such deposit has been made by such time then, by 12:00
               noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to
               Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, so long as the
               Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, irrevocably
               deposit with the Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities
               funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price. If the
               Preferred Securities are no longer in book-entry-only form, the
               Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably
               deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the
               applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent
               irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
               Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Preferred
               Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
               Distribution payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any

                                      19
<PAGE>

          Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders
          of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register on
          the relevant record date for such Distribution Date. If notice of
          redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then
          upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders of Trust
          Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of
          such Holders to receive the Redemption Price therefor and any
          Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to
          the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities
          will cease to be Outstanding. In the event that any date on which any
          Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the
          Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next
          succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or
          other payment in respect of any such delay), or, if such Business Day
          falls in the next calendar year, on the immediately preceding Business
          Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such
          date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price for 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 will 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 will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
          calculating the Redemption Price.

     (e)  Payment of the Redemption Price for Trust Securities shall be made to
          the recordholders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register on
          the relevant record date for the Redemption Date, which shall be one
          Business Day prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that in
          the event that the Preferred Securities do not remain in book-entry-
          only form, the relevant record date for a Redemption Date shall be the
          date 15 days prior to such 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 pro rata (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common
          Securities and the Preferred Securities. The particular Preferred
          Securities to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (based on
          Liquidation Amounts) 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 $_______ or an integral multiple of $_______ in
          excess thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities of a
          denomination larger than $_______; provided, however, that so long as
          the Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, such selection
          shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the
          Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities by such Clearing Agency.
          The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Security 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

                                      20
<PAGE>

          purposes of this Declaration, 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 that has been or is to be redeemed.

     SECTION 4.3.   Subordination of Common Securities.
                    ----------------------------------

     (a)  Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable)
          on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in
          respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made,
          subject to Section 4.2(f), pro rata (based on Liquidation Amounts)
          among the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities; provided,
          however, that if on any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or
          Liquidation Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event
          of Default specified in Section 501(1) or 501(2) of the Indenture
          shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution
          (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, Redemption Price of,
          or Liquidation Distribution in respect 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, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution,
          the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding
          Trust Securities, 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.

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

     SECTION 4.4.   Payment Procedures.
                    ------------------

     Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) in
respect of the 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 such Clearing Agency in immediately

                                      21

such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the
Common Holder.

     SECTION 4.5.   Tax Returns and Reports.
                    -----------------------

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

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

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

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

     Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities shall be
reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or an Owner with
respect to the Holder's Preferred Securities) has directly received pursuant to
Section 508 of the Indenture or Section 5.14 of this Declaration.

     SECTION 4.8.   Liability of the Common Holder.
                    ------------------------------

     The Common Holder shall be liable for the debts and obligations of the
Trust in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Expense Agreement.

     Upon the creation of the Trust and the contribution by the Depositor

     The Trust Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations

to the benefits of this Declaration, 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 Holder, and shall be entitled to the
rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due
registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee's name
pursuant to Section 5.4, Section 5.11 and Section 5.13.

     SECTION 5.3.   Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.
                    -------------------------------------------------------

and the third sentence of Section 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Trust and
delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its Chief

     SECTION 5.4.   Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred
                    --------------------------------------------------
                    Securities Certificates.
                    -----------------------

     The Security Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at its Corporate
Trust Office, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust
Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities
Certificates (the "Securities Register"), in which the registrar and transfer
                   -------------------
agent with respect to the Trust Securities 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. The provisions of
Article VIII shall apply to the Property Trustee also in its role as Securities
Registrar, for so long as the Property Trustee shall act as Securities
Registrar.

     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

                                      23
<PAGE>

them shall execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile
signature, 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 (i) to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange any Preferred Security during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of such
Preferred Securities pursuant to Article IV and ending at the close of business
on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Preferred Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Preferred Security to be
redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.  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.

     Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed and accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative Trustee
and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.  Each Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange or for payment shall be canceled and
subsequently disposed of by an Administrative Trustee or Securities Registrar in
accordance with such Person's customary practice.

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

     The Property Trustee shall not be required to ensure or verify compliance
with securities laws, including without limitation the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and 1940 Act, in connection with transfers and exchanges of
Preferred Securities Certificates.

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

     If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to
the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities
Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the
Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust
Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust shall
execute by manual or facsimile signature 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

                                      24
<PAGE>

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 Trust Property, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall
be found at any time.

     If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities
Certificate has become or is about to become due and payable, the Administrative
Trustees in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Trust Securities
Certificate, pay such Trust Securities Certificate.

     The provisions of this Section 5.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificates.

     SECTION 5.6.   Persons Deemed Holders.
                    ----------------------

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

     SECTION 5.7.   Access to List of Holders' Names and Addresses.
                    ----------------------------------------------

     Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the
Depositor, or any of the Trustees, accountable by reason of the disclosure of
its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was
derived.

     SECTION 5.8.   Maintenance of Office or Agency.
                    -------------------------------

     The Administrative Trustees shall maintain an office or offices or agency
or agencies where 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 office of the Property Trustee
at 450 West 33rd Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10001, Attention:
Institutional Trust Services, as their principal corporate trust office for such
purposes.  The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the
Depositor and to the Holders of any change in the location of the Securities
Register or any such office or agency.

     SECTION 5.9.   Appointment of Paying Agent.
                    ---------------------------

     The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders 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 power
to receive funds (and if the Paying Agent shall also be the Property Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall have the power to withdraw funds) from the Payment
Account solely 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 Declaration in any material
respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the

                                      25
<PAGE>

Bank, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Bank, and acceptable to the
Administrative Trustees and the Depositor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent
shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the
Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Depositor. In the event
that the Bank shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent
shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees
shall appoint a successor that is acceptable to the Property Trustee and the
Depositor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The
Administrative Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any
additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees to execute and
deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or
additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such
successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any,
held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. 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 Article VIII shall apply to the Bank
also in its capacity as Paying Agent, for so long as the Bank shall act as
Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed
hereunder. Any reference in this Declaration to the Paying Agent shall include

     SECTION 5.10.  Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.
                    -------------------------------------------

     At the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and
record ownership of the Common Securities executed and delivered on the Closing
Date.  [In connection with the exercise of any over-allotment option set forth
in the Underwriting Agreement, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial
and record ownership of the additional Common Securities executed and delivered
in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option.]  To the fullest
extent permitted by law, other than a transfer to an Affiliate of the Depositor
or in connection with a transaction permitted pursuant to Article VIII of the
Indenture (and in either case only upon an effective assignment and delegation
by the Holder of all the Common Securities to its transferee of all of its
rights and obligations under the Expense Agreement), any attempted transfer of
the Common Securities shall be void.  The Administrative Trustees shall cause
each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend
stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 5.10 OF THE DECLARATION."

     SECTION 5.11.  Global Preferred Securities Certificates; Common Securities
                    -----------------------------------------------------------
                    Certificate.
                    -----------

     (a)  The Preferred Securities Certificates, upon original issuance, will be
          issued in the form of a typewritten Preferred Securities Certificate
          or Certificates representing Global Preferred Securities, to be
          delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing
          Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. Such Preferred Securities
          Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the
          Securities Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
          initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner will receive a Definitive
          Preferred Securities Certificate representing such Owner's interest in
          such Preferred Securities and no transfer of

                                      26
<PAGE>

          the certificate representing the Book-Entry Preferred Security in
          whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other
          than the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Preferred Security or a
          nominee thereof, except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until
          Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates have been issued to
          Owners pursuant to Section 5.13:

          (i)    the Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be entitled to
                 deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this
                 Declaration relating to the Global Preferred Securities
                 (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and
                 Distributions on the Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-
                 Entry Preferred Securities Certificates and the giving of
                 instructions or directions to Owners of Preferred Securities
                 evidenced by Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates) as
                 the sole Holder of Preferred Securities and shall have no
                 obligations to the Owners thereof;

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

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

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

     SECTION 5.12.  Notices to Clearing Agency.
                    --------------------------

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

     SECTION 5.13.  Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates.
                    --------------------------------------------

     If (a) the Depositor advises the Trustees in writing that the Clearing
Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities
with respect to the Preferred Securities Certificates, and the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor at its option advises
the Trustees in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Clearing Agency, (c) the Clearing Agency ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act and no qualified successor is appointed
by the Administrative Trustees within 90 days after its receipt of such notice
or its becoming aware of such cessation, or (d) there shall have occurred and be
continuing a Debenture Event of Default, then an Administrative Trustee shall
notify the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of
Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates and the other Trustees of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable,
requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees of the
typewritten Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the
Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied
by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them,
shall execute by manual or facsimile signature the Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing
Agency.  Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as Holders.  The
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the
Administrative Trustees or any one of them.

     SECTION 5.14.  Rights of Holders.
                    -----------------

     (a)  The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
          name of the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance
          with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title
          therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of
          the Trust conferred by their 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 Declaration. The Trust Securities shall have
          no preemptive or similar rights. When issued and delivered to Holders
          of Preferred Securities against payment of the purchase price
          therefor, the Preferred Securities will be fully paid and
          nonassessable undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property.
          The Holders of 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 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
          Debentures fail to declare the

                                      28
<PAGE>

          principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due, the Holders
          of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
          Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in
          writing to the Depositor, the Property Trustee 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, provided that the payment of principal and interest on such
          Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in the
          Indenture.

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

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

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

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

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

          (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than
               the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures which has
               become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived
               as provided in Section 513 of the Indenture.

          The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
          Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the
          Preferred Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture or
          Debenture Event of Default with respect to the Debentures, except a
          default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default
          has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of
          interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been
          deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default in respect of a
          covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or
          amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding
          Debenture. Upon any such waiver, such default or Debenture Event of
          Default shall cease to exist and any default or Debenture Event of
          Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every

                                      29
<PAGE>

          purpose of the Indenture, but no such waiver shall affect any
          subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

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

     (c)  For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the
          fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this
          Declaration and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default
          specified in Section 501(1) or 501(2) of the Indenture any Holder of
          Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding
          directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 508 of the
          Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts
          payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount
          equal to the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such
          Holder (a "Direct Action"). Except as set forth in Section 5.14(b) and
                     -------------
          this Section 5.14(c), Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no
          right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to holders
          of, or in respect of, Debentures.

     (d)  Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
          Section 5.14, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount
          of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the
          Preferred Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default and
          its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such default or Event of
          Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default
          arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
          purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any
          subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
          consequent thereon.

     SECTION 5.15.  Exchange of Securities.
                    ----------------------

     (a)  If at any time the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (in either case,
          a "Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder") is the Owner or Holder of any
          Preferred Securities, such Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder shall
          have the right to deliver to the Property Trustee all or such portion
          of its Preferred Securities as it elects and receive, in exchange
          therefor, a Like Amount of Debentures. Such election (i) shall be
          exercisable effective on any Distribution Date by such Depositor
          Affiliated Owner/Holder delivering to the Property Trustee a written
          notice of such election specifying the Liquidation Amount of Preferred
          Securities with respect to which such election is being made and the
          Distribution Date on which such exchange shall occur, which
          Distribution date shall be not less than ten Business Days after the
          date of receipt by the Property Trustee of such election notice and
          (ii) shall be conditioned upon such Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder
          having delivered or caused to be delivered to the Property Trustee or
          its designee the Preferred Securities which are the subject of such
          election by 10:00 A.M. New York time, on the Distribution Date on
          which such exchange is to occur. After the exchange, such Preferred
          Securities will be canceled and will no longer be deemed to be
          Outstanding and all rights of the Depositor or its Affiliate(s) with
          respect to such Preferred Securities will cease.

     (b)  In the case of an exchange described in Section 5.15(a), the Trust
          will, on the date of such exchange, exchange Debentures having a
          principal amount equal to a proportional amount of the aggregate
          Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Common Securities, based on the
          ratio of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities
          exchanged pursuant to Section 5.15(a) divided by the aggregate
          Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities Outstanding immediately
          prior to such exchange, for such proportional amount of Common
          Securities held by the Depositor (which contemporaneously shall be
          canceled and no longer be deemed to be Outstanding); provided, that
          the Depositor delivers or caused to be delivered to the Property
          Trustee or its designee the required amount of Common Securities to be
          exchanged by 10:00 A.M New York time, on the Distribution Date on
          which such exchange is to occur.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                       ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

     SECTION 6.1.   Limitations on Voting Rights.
                    ----------------------------

     (a)  Except as provided in this Declaration and in the Indenture, and as
          otherwise required by law, no 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, and nothing contained in this
          Declaration or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities
          Certificates shall be construed so as to constitute the Holders from
          time to time as partners or members of an association.

                                      31
<PAGE>

     (b)  So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the
          Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method or place of 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 Section 513 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 the Preferred Securities; provided, however, that where a
          consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder
          of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the
          Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of
          Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action
          previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of
          Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of
          Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of
          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 Holders of 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 such action shall not cause the
          Trust to be classified as other than a grantor trust or taxable as a
          corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

     (c)  If any proposed amendment to the Declaration 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 this Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution,
          winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than pursuant to the
          terms of this Declaration, then the Holders of Outstanding Preferred
          Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or
          proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except
          with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
          Amount of the Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding any other
          provision of this Declaration, no amendment to this Declaration may be
          made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Trust to be
          classified as other than a grantor trust or taxable as a corporation
          for United States federal income tax purposes.

     SECTION 6.2.   Notice of Meetings.
                    ------------------

     Notice of all meetings of Holders of Preferred Securities, stating the
time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Administrative
Trustees pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder at such Holder's address as it

notice shall be sent, first-class mail, at least 15 days and not more than
90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before
the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the
meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

     SECTION 6.3.   Meetings of Holders of Preferred Securities.
                    -------------------------------------------

     No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held.  The Administrative
Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities to
vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of record of at least
25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Preferred Securities and the
Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their
discretion, call a meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities to vote on any
matters as to which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote.
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any
meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities.

     If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders of
record present, in person or by proxy, holding at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by the Holders of record
present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the
action of the Holders of Preferred Securities, unless this Declaration requires
a lesser or greater number of affirmative votes.

     SECTION 6.4.   Voting Rights.
                    -------------

     In respect of any matter as to which a Holder is entitled to vote, such
Holder shall be entitled to one vote for each $_____ of Liquidation Amount of
Trust Securities held of record by such Holder.

     SECTION 6.5.   Proxies, etc.
                    ------------

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

     SECTION 6.6.   Holder Action by Written Consent.
                    --------------------------------

     Any action which may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without
a meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action
(or such lesser or greater proportion thereof as shall be required by any
express provision of this Declaration) shall consent to the action in writing.
Any action that may be taken by the Holders of all the Common Securities may be
taken if such Holders shall consent to the action in writing.

     SECTION 6.7.   Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.
                    -----------------------------------------

     Except as provided in Section 5.14(b), for the purpose of determining the
Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or to act 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
Declaration, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees
or Property Trustee may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days
prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or
other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the
identity of the Holders of record for such purposes.

     SECTION 6.8.   Acts of Holders.
                    ---------------

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

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

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

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

     Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder 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

                                      34
<PAGE>

which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of
such Liquidation Amount.

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

     SECTION 6.9.   Inspection of Records.
                    ---------------------

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

          against or affecting the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee in
          any court or before any governmental authority, agency or arbitration
          board or tribunal which, individually or in the aggregate, would
          materially and adversely affect the Trust or would question the right,
          power and authority of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
          as the case may be, to enter into or perform its obligations as one of

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                                 THE TRUSTEES

     SECTION 8.1.   Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
                    -----------------------------------

     (a)  The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as expressly
          provided by this Declaration and, in addition, in the case of the
          Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, no provision of this Declaration shall require the Trustees
          to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise to 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. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
          provision of this Declaration relating to the conduct or affecting the
          liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject
          to the provisions of this Section 8.1.

     (b)  No provision in this Declaration shall be construed to release an
          Administrative Trustee from liability for his own grossly negligent
          action, his own grossly negligent failure to act, or his own willful
          misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Administrative
          Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Trust or to the
          Holders, and liabilities relating thereto, such Administrative Trustee
          shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Trustee's
          good faith reliance on the provisions of this Declaration. The
          provisions of this Declaration, to the extent that they restrict the
          duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees otherwise
          existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the
          Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the
          Administrative Trustees.

     (c)  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 Holder, by its acceptance of a
          Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and
          proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
          distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees are not
          personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any
          Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust
          Security. This Section 8.1(c) does not limit the liability of the
          Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Declaration or, in the
          case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

     (d)  No provision of this Declaration 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:

                                      37
<PAGE>

     (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 Preferred 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 Declaration;

     (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 Declaration and the
            Trust Indenture Act;

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

     (v)    the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the
            compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with
            their respective duties under this Declaration, and shall not be
            liable for the default or misconduct of the Administrative Trustees
            or the Depositor.

     SECTION 8.2.   Certain Notices.
                    ---------------

     Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property
Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section
10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders, the Administrative
Trustees and the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured
or waived.

     Within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor's
exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures
pursuant to the Indenture, an Administrative Trustee shall transmit, in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, written notice of such
exercise to the Holders and the Property Trustee, unless such exercise shall
have been revoked.

                                      38
<PAGE>

     SECTION 8.3.   Certain Rights of Property Trustee.
                    ----------------------------------

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

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

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

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

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

                                      39
<PAGE>

     (f)  the Property Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be
          counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, and may include any
          of its employees) 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; the Property Trustee shall
          have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
          administration of this Declaration 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 Declaration at the request
          or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Declaration,
          unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee
          reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,
          expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
          with such request or direction; provided, however, that, nothing
          contained in this Section 8.3(g) shall be taken to relieve the
          Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its
          obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
          Declaration;

     (h)  the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
          the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
          instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
          approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or
          other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one
          or more Holders, 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, attorneys, custodians or nominees provided that the Property
          Trustee shall be responsible for its own misconduct or negligence with
          respect to selection of any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee
          appointed by it hereunder;

     (j)  whenever in the administration of this Declaration 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 fully authorized and protected in acting in accordance with
          such instructions;

     (k)  the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any
          action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Declaration;
          and

                                      40
<PAGE>

     (l)  without prejudice to any other rights available to the Property
          Trustee under applicable law, when the Property Trustee incurs
          expenses or renders services in connection with a Bankruptcy Event,
          such expenses (including legal fees and expenses of its counsel) and
          the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses
          of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to
          creditors rights generally.

     No provision of this Declaration 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.  The Delaware Trustee shall have the same rights and
benefits as the Property Trustee under this paragraph and paragraphs (a) through
(l) of this Section 8.3.

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

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

     SECTION 8.5.   May Hold Securities.
                    -------------------

     Any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust
Securities and, subject to Section 8.8 and Section 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.

     SECTION 8.6.   Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.
                    -----------------------------

     The Depositor agrees:

     (a)  to pay to the Trustees from time to time reasonable compensation for
          all services rendered by any of 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);

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

     (c)  to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify,
          defend and hold harmless (i) each Trustee in its officer or individual
          capacity, (ii) any Affiliate of any

                                      41

          Trustee, (iii) any officer, director, shareholder, employee,
          representative or agent of any Trustee, and (iv) any employee or agent
          of the Trust or its Affiliates, (referred to herein as an "Indemnified
                                                                     -----------
          Person") from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax (other than
          ------
          income, franchise or other taxes imposed on amounts paid pursuant to
          paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 8.6), penalty, expense or claim
          of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person
          by reason of or in connection with the creation, existence,
          administration, execution, amendment, operation or termination of the
          Trust or any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified
          Person on behalf of the Trust, except that no Indemnified Person shall
          be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.6 in respect
          of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by
          reason of negligence (or with respect to either the Delaware Trustee,
          or any Administrative Trustee, by reason of gross negligence) or
          willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

     The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this
Declaration.

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

     The Depositor and any Trustee (in the case of the Property Trustee, subject
to Section 8.8) 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 Trust
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.  Neither the Depositor, nor any Trustee,
shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to
the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the
Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and the Depositor or any Trustee shall have
the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or
fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other
opportunity.  Any Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as
depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders
of, securities or other obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates.

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

     (a)  There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect
          to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that
          is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has
          a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or any
          affiliate thereof. If any such Person publishes reports of condition
          at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its
          supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
          Section 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

                                      42
<PAGE>

          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.

     (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, as the same now exists or as may hereafter be
          amended, and that shall act through one or more persons authorized to
          bind such entity.

     SECTION 8.8.   Conflicting Interests.
                    ---------------------

     If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a "conflicting interest"
within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by,
and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Declaration.
The Guarantee and the Indenture shall be deemed to be specifically described in
this Declaration for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained
in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 8.9.   Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.
                    --------------------------------

     Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any
time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust
Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may
at the time be located, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees, by agreed
action of the majority of such Trustees, shall have power to appoint, and upon
the written request of the Administrative Trustees, the Depositor shall for such
purpose join with the Administrative Trustees in the execution, delivery, and
performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint,
one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as co-
trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust
Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the
instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity
aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Depositor does not join
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, or in case a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
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

                                      43
<PAGE>

a resident of the United States or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place
of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons
authorized to bind such entity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     SECTION 8.10.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
                    -------------------------------------------------

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

     Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, except
that no such notice shall be required in the case of resignation of an
Administrative Trustee. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Trustee
required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant
Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Trust, any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

     Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
any Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Common Holder. If a
Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at such time by
Act of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the 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
Holder at any time.

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

                                      45
<PAGE>

     The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal
of a Trustee (other than an Administrative Trustee) and each appointment of a
successor Trustee (other than an Administrative Trustee) to the Depositor. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee.

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

     SECTION 8.11.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
                    --------------------------------------

     In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the
retiring Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Depositor) and each successor
Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver
an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or
desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant
Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust and (b) shall add to
or change any of the provisions of this Declaration as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one
Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment
shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees. Upon the execution and
delivery of such amendment, the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant
Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee
and upon payment in full of all undisputed amounts then due and owing to such
retiring Relevant Trustee, such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all
proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust.

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

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

                                      46

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

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

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

     If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Depositor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the Preferred Securities), the
Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or the Trust (or any
such other obligor). In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Trust or any other obligor
upon the Trust Securities or the Trust Property or of such other obligor or
their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions
on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall
have made any demand on the Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions)
shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

     (b)  to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
          deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
          custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
          other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
          authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Property
          Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the
          making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
          Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
          expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its
          agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

     SECTION 8.14.  Reports by Property Trustee.
                    ---------------------------

     Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with the first May
15 after the first issuance of Trust Securities pursuant to this Declaration,
the Property Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Trust Securities
as provided in Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act a brief report dated as
of such May 15 if and to the extent required by Section 313 of the Trust
Indenture Act.

     SECTION 8.15.  Reports to the Property Trustee.
                    -------------------------------

     The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall
provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as
required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the compliance
certificate required by Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form,
in the manner and at the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture
Act.

     SECTION 8.16.  Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.
                    ------------------------------------------------

     Each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the
Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Declaration that relate to
any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any
certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to Section
314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an Officers'
Certificate.

     SECTION 8.17.  Number of Administrative Trustees.
                    ---------------------------------

     (a)  The number of Administrative Trustees shall be three, provided that
          the Holder of all the Outstanding 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 an Administrative 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 Administrative 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 an Administrative Trustee shall
          not operate to dissolve, terminate or 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 Declaration.

                                      48
<PAGE>

     (d)  The initial Administrative Trustees shall be Thomas E. Moloney, [____]
          and [____]. Except where a requirement for action by a specific number
          of Administrative Trustees is expressly set forth in this Declaration,
          any act required or permitted to be taken by, and any power of the
          Administrative Trustees may be exercised by, or with the consent of,
          any one such Administrative Trustee.

     SECTION 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), including any registration statement
          or amendment thereto filed with the SEC, or making any other
          governmental filing; 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 this Declaration, as set forth herein.

     SECTION 8.19.  Delaware Trustee.
                    ----------------

          Delaware Trustee shall neither be entitled to exercise any powers nor
          have any of the duties and responsibilities of the Administrative
          Trustees or the Property Trustee described in this Declaration. The
          Delaware Trustee shall be a trustee for the sole and limited purpose
          of fulfilling the requirements of Section 3807 of the Delaware
          Business Trust Act.

     (b)  It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that in
          fulfilling its obligations as Delaware Trustee hereunder on behalf of
          the Trust (i) any agreements or instruments executed and delivered by
          Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association are executed and
          delivered not in its individual capacity but solely as Delaware
          Trustee under this Declaration in the exercise of the powers and
          authority conferred and vested in it, (ii) each of the
          representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part
          of the Trust is made and intended not as representations, warranties,
          covenants, undertakings and agreements by Chase Manhattan Bank USA,
          National Association in its individual capacity but is made and
          intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust, and (iii) under no
          circumstances shall Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association in

          failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made
          or undertaken by the Trust under this Declaration, except if such
          breach or failure is due to any negligence or willful misconduct of
          the Delaware Trustee.

     (d)  the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection with
          the redemption of all the Debentures; or

          competent jurisdiction.

     SECTION 9.4.   Liquidation.
                    -----------

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

           (i)   state the Liquidation Date;

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

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

     (b)   Unless Section 9.2(c) or Section 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect
           the liquidation of the Trust and the distribution of Debentures to
           Holders, 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)   Unless Section 9.2(c) or Section 9.4(d) applies, after the
           Liquidation Date (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to
           be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of
           Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities
           Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the
           Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange, (iii) the
           Depositor shall use its best efforts to have the Debentures listed on
           the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange, interdealer
           quotation system or self-regulatory organization on which the
           Preferred Securities are then listed, (iv) any Trust Securities
           Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to
           represent a Like Amount of Debentures, accruing interest at the rate
           provided for in the Debentures from the last Distribution Date on
           which a Distribution was made on such Trust Securities Certificates
           until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such
           certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal
           will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect
           to such Debentures), and (v) all rights

                                      51
<PAGE>

          of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of
          such Holders to receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities
          Certificates.

     (d)  If, 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, then the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust
          shall be dissolved and wound up by the Property Trustee in such manner
          as the Property Trustee determines subject to applicable law. In such
          event, on the date of the dissolution of the Trust, Holders will be
          entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for
          distribution to Holders, 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, upon any such winding up, 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 pro rata based upon Liquidation Amounts. The Holder of
          the Outstanding Common Securities will be entitled to receive
          Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding up pro rata, based
          upon Liquidation Amount, with Holders of Preferred Securities, except
          that, if any Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
          continuing at the time of payment of the Liquidation Distribution, the
          Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities
          with respect to payment of any amount of Liquidation Distribution.

     (e)  Following the Expiration Date or an Early Termination Event and after
          the completion of the winding up of the affairs of the Trust pursuant
          to this Section 9.4, one of the Trustees shall file a certificate of
          cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

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

     The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, except pursuant to this Article IX.
At the request of the Holder of the Common Securities, 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, or 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

                                      52
<PAGE>

             the Preferred Securities ("Successor Securities") so long as the
                                        --------------------
             Successor Securities rank the same as the Preferred Securities in
             priority with respect to distributions and payments upon
             liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

     (ii)    the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity
             possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as
             the holder of the Debentures;

     (iii)   the Successor Securities are listed or traded, or any Successor
             Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any
             national securities exchange or other organization on which the
             Preferred Securities are then listed or traded, if any;

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

     (v)     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;

     (vi)    such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that
             of the Trust;

     (vii)   prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
             conveyance, transfer or lease, the Property Trustee 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 will be required to register as an investment company under
             the 1940 Act; and

     (viii)  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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not,
             except with the consent of Holders of all Outstanding 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,
             replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or
             the

                                      53

               successor Person to be taxable as a corporation or classified as
               other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
               purposes.

     Except as set forth in Section 9.2, the death or incapacity, or the
dissolution, liquidation, termination, or the bankruptcy of any Person having an
interest, beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to
terminate this Declaration, nor entitle the legal representatives, successors or
heirs of such Person or any Holder 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.

     SECTION 10.2.  Amendment.

          cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein which
          may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any
          other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
          this Declaration, which shall not be inconsistent with the other
          provisions of this Declaration, or (ii) to modify, eliminate or add to
          any provisions of this Declaration to such extent as shall be
          necessary to ensure that the Debentures are treated as indebtedness of
          the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes, or to
          ensure that the Trust will not be taxable as a corporation or will be
          classified for United States federal income tax purposes other than a
          grantor trust at any times that any Trust Securities are outstanding
          or to ensure that the Trust will not be required to register as an
          investment company under the 1940 Act; provided, however, that in the

          representing not less than a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
          Preferred Securities and (ii) receipt by the Administrative 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 will not cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation for
          United States federal income tax purposes or affect the Trust's
          exemption from status of an investment company under the 1940 Act or
          affect the treatment of the

<PAGE>

          Debentures as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal
          income tax purposes.

     (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, no Trustee
          shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Declaration which
          would cause the Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a
          corporation for United States federal income tax purposes or fail or
          cease to qualify for the exemption from status of an investment
          company under the 1940 Act or to be classified as other than a grantor
          trust for United States federal income tax purposes or that would
          cause the Debentures to fail or cease to be treated as indebtedness of
          the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes.

     (e)  Notwithstanding anything in this Declaration to the contrary, without
          the consent of the Depositor, this Declaration may not be amended in a
          manner which imposes any additional obligation or liability on the
          Depositor.

          may not amend this Declaration without the consent of the Property
          Trustee, or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, if such
          amendment would adversely affect the rights, duties, or immunities
          appertaining to the Property Trustee, or the Delaware Trustee, as the
          case may be, under this Declaration.

     SECTION 10.3.    Separability.
                      ------------

                      ----------

     This Declaration shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of

Institutional Trust Services; and (c) with respect to the Administrative

<PAGE>

sufficiently given or made only upon actual receipt of the writing by the Trust
or the Property Trustee.

     SECTION 10.9.    Agreement Not to Petition.
                      -------------------------

     Each of the Trustees and the Depositor agree for the benefit of the Holders
that, until at least one year and one day after the Trust has been terminated in
accordance with Article IX, they shall not file, or join in the filing of, a
petition against the Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law (including, without limitation, the United States Bankruptcy
Code) (collectively, "Bankruptcy Laws") or otherwise join in the commencement of
                      ---------------
any proceeding against the Trust under any Bankruptcy Law.  In the event the
Depositor takes action in violation of this Section 10.9, the Property Trustee
agrees, for the benefit of Holders, that, at the expense of the Depositor, it
shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the
filing of such petition by the Depositor against the Trust or the commencement
of such action and raise the defense that the Depositor has agreed in writing
not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such
other defenses, if any, as counsel for the Trustee or the Trust may assert. The
provisions of this Section 10.9 shall survive the termination of this
Declaration.

     SECTION 10.10.   Agreed Tax Treatment of Trust and Trust Securities.
                      --------------------------------------------------

     The parties hereto and, by its acceptance or acquisition of a Trust
Security or a beneficial interest therein the Holder of, and any Person that
acquires a beneficial interest in, such Trust Security intend and agree to treat
the Trust as a grantor trust for United States federal, state and local tax
purposes, and to treat the Trust Securities (including all payments and proceeds
with respect to such Trust Securities) as undivided beneficial ownership
interests in the Trust Property (and payments and proceeds therefrom,
respectively) for United States federal, state and local tax purposes.  The
provisions of this Declaration shall be interpreted to further this intention
and agreement of the parties.

     SECTION 10.11.   Application of Trust Indenture Act.
                      ----------------------------------

     (a)  This Declaration is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
          Act that are required or deemed to be part of this Declaration and
          shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.

     (b)  The Property Trustee shall be the only Trustee which is a trustee for
          the purposes of the Trust Indenture Act.

     (c)  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
          provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this
          Declaration by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such
          required or deemed provision shall control. If any provision of this
          Declaration 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 this Declaration as so modified or excluded, as
          the case may be.

                                      57
<PAGE>

   (d)  The application of the Trust Indenture Act to this Declaration shall not
        affect the nature of the Trust Securities as equity securities
        representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust.

   SECTION 10.12.   Acceptance of Terms of Declaration, Guarantee and Indenture.
                    -----------------------------------------------------------

   The receipt and acceptance of a Trust Security or any interest therein by
or on behalf of a Holder or any beneficial owner, without any signature or
further manifestation of assent, shall constitute the unconditional acceptance
by the Holder and all others having a beneficial interest in such Trust Security
of all the terms and provisions of this Declaration and agreement to the
subordination provisions and other terms of the Guarantee and the Indenture, and
shall constitute the agreement of the Trust, such Holder and such others that
the terms and provisions of this Declaration shall be binding, operative and
effective as between the Trust and such Holder and such others.

   SECTION 10.13.   Counterparts.
                    ------------

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

Re:  [John Hancock Capital Trust __] ____% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities

CUSIP No. ___________________

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The purpose of this letter is to set forth certain matters relating to the
issuance and deposit with The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") of the book-entry
portion of the [John Hancock Capital Trust __] ____% Cumulative Trust Preferred
Securities (the "Preferred Securities"), of [John Hancock Financing Trust __], a
Delaware business trust (the "Issuer"), created and continued pursuant to an
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust between John Hancock Financial
Services, Inc. ("John Hancock"), _______________________________, as Property
Trustee, _______________________________, as Delaware Trustee, the
Administrative Trustees named therein and the holders, from time to time, of
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Issuer. The payment of
distributions on the Preferred Securities, and payments due upon liquidation of
Issuer or redemption of the Preferred Securities, to the extent the Issuer has
funds available for the payment thereof are guaranteed by John Hancock to the
extent set forth in a Guarantee Agreement dated ___________, 200___ by John
Hancock with respect to the Preferred Securities.  John Hancock and the Issuer
propose to sell the Preferred Securities to certain Underwriters (the
"Underwriters") pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated _______________,
200____ by and among the Underwriters, the Issuer and John Hancock, and the
Underwriters wish to take delivery of the Preferred Securities through DTC.
_______________________________ is acting as transfer agent and registrar with
respect to the Preferred Securities (the "Transfer Agent and Registrar").

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

     1.   Prior to the closing of the sale of the Preferred Securities to the
Underwriters, which is expected to occur on or about __________ __, ____, there
shall be deposited with DTC one or more global certificates (individually and
collectively, the "Global Certificate") registered
<PAGE>

in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., representing an aggregate of
____________ Preferred Securities and bearing the following legend:

     Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to Issuer or its agent
for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued
is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by
an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to
such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON
IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest
herein.

     The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust provides for the voting by
holders of the Preferred Securities under certain limited circumstances (with no
provision for revocation of consents or votes by subsequent holders).  The
Issuer shall establish a record date for such purposes and shall, to the extent
possible, give DTC notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in
advance of such record date.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     7.   All notices and payment advices sent to DTC shall contain the CUSIP
number or numbers of the Preferred Securities and the accompanying designation
of the Preferred Securities, which, as of the date of this letter, is "[John
Hancock Capital Trust __] ____% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities."

     8.   Distribution payments or other cash payments that are part of periodic
payments with respect to the Preferred Securities evidenced by the Global
Certificate shall be received by Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or its
registered assigns in same-day funds no later than 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on
each payment date (or in accordance with existing arrangements between the
Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar and DTC).  Absent any other
arrangements
<PAGE>

between the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar and DTC, such funds shall
be wired as follows:

     __________________________
     __________________________
     __________________________

     The Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide payment
information to a standard announcement service subscribed to by DTC.  In the
unlikely event that no such service exists, the Issuer agrees that it or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar shall provide this information directly to DTC in
advance of the record date as soon as the information is available.  This
information should be conveyed directly to DTC electronically.  If electronic
transmission is not available, absent any other arrangements between the
Transfer Agent and DTC, such information should be sent by telecopy to DTC's
Dividend Department at 212-709-1723 or 212-709-1686,  and receipt of such
notices shall be confirmed by telephoning 212-709-1270. Notices to DTC pursuant
to the above by mail or by any other means shall be sent to:

     Manager; Announcements
     Dividend Department
     The Depository Trust Company
     7 Hanover Square; 22nd Floor
     New York, NY 10004-2695

     DTC shall receive maturity and redemption payments with respect to the
Preferred Securities evidenced by the Global Certificate allocated with respect
to each CUSIP number on the payable date in same-day funds by 2:30 p.m. (Eastern
Time).  Absent any other arrangements between the Transfer Agent and Registrar
and DTC, such payments shall be wired as follows:

     __________________________
     __________________________
     __________________________

     in accordance with existing SDFS payment procedures in the manner set forth
in DTC's SDFS Paying Agent Operating Procedures, a copy of which has previously
been furnished to the Transfer Agent and Registrar.

     10.  DTC shall receive all reorganization payments and CUSIP-level detail
resulting from corporate actions (such as tender offers, remarketings, or
mergers) on the first payable date in same-day funds by 2:30 p.m. (Eastern
Time).  Absent any other arrangements between the Transfer Agent and Registrar
and DTC, such payments shall be wired as follows:

     __________________________
     __________________________
     __________________________

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

     15.  This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.  Nothing
herein shall be deemed to require the Transfer Agent and Registrar to advance
funds on behalf of [John Hancock Capital Trust __].

     WHEREAS, the Trust intends to issue its Common Securities (the "Common
Securities") to and receive Debentures from the Corporation and to issue and
sell ____% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (the "Preferred Securities")
with such powers, preferences and special rights and restrictions as are set
forth in the Amended and Restated Declaration of the Trust, dated as of
________________, 200___ as the same may be amended from time to time (the
"Declaration"; capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Declaration); and

     WHEREAS, the Corporation will directly or indirectly own all of the Common
Securities of the Trust and will issue the Debentures;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by each holder of the
Preferred Securities, which purchase the Corporation hereby agrees shall benefit
the Corporation and which purchase the Corporation acknowledges will be made in
reliance upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Corporation and
Trust hereby agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

     SECTION 1.1. Guarantee by the Corporation.

     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Corporation hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each person or entity to whom the
Trust is now or hereafter becomes indebted or liable (the "Beneficiaries") the
full payment, when and as due, of any and all Obligations (as hereinafter
defined) to such Beneficiaries.  As used herein, "Obligations" means any costs,
expenses or liabilities of the Trust, other than obligations of the Trust to pay
to holders of any Preferred Securities or other similar interests in the Trust
the amounts due such holders pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities
or such other similar interests, as the case may be.  This Agreement is intended
to be for the benefit of, and to be enforceable by, all such Beneficiaries,
whether or not such Beneficiaries have received notice hereof.
<PAGE>

     SECTION 1.2.   Term of Agreement.

     This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon
the later of (a) the date on which full payment has been made of all amounts
payable to all holders of all the Preferred Securities (whether upon redemption,
liquidation, exchange or otherwise) and (b) the date on which the Debentures
shall have been distributed to the Holders of the Trust Securities as provided
in Article IX of the Declaration; provided, however, that this Agreement shall
continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time any holder of Preferred Securities or any Beneficiary must restore payment
of any sums paid in respect of the Preferred Securities, under any Obligation,
under the Guarantee Agreement dated the date hereof between the Corporation and
________________________, as guarantee trustee or under this Agreement for any
reason whatsoever.

     SECTION 1.3.   Subordination.

     The guarantee and other liabilities and obligations of the Corporation
under this Agreement shall constitute unsecured obligations of the Corporation
and shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt (as
defined in the Indenture) of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner set
forth in the Indenture with respect to the Debentures, and the provisions of
Article Fourteen of the Indenture will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
obligations of the Corporation hereunder.  The obligations of the Corporation
hereunder do not constitute Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Corporation.

     This Agreement shall be continuing, irrevocable, unconditional and
absolute.

     SECTION 1.4.   Waiver of Notice.

     The Corporation hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of
any Obligation to which it applies or may apply, and the Corporation hereby
waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of
dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands.

     SECTION 1.5.   No Impairment.

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

          (a)  the extension of time for the payment by the Trust of all or any
     portion of the Obligations or for the performance of any other obligation
     under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Obligations;

          (b)  any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of
     the Beneficiaries to enforce, assert or exercise any right, privilege,
     power or remedy conferred on the Beneficiaries with respect to the
     Obligations or any action on the part of the Trust granting indulgence or
     extension of any kind; or
<PAGE>

          (c)  the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of
     any collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the
     benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or
     readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the Trust
     or any of the assets of the Trust. There shall be no obligation of the
     Beneficiaries to give notice to, or obtain the consent of, the Corporation
     with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.

     SECTION 1.6.   Enforcement.

     A Beneficiary may enforce this Agreement directly against the Corporation
and the Corporation waives any right or remedy to require that any action be
brought against the Trust or any other person or entity before proceeding
against the Corporation.

     SECTION 1.7.   Subrogation.

     The Corporation shall be subrogated to all rights (if any) of the Trust in
respect of any amounts paid to the Beneficiaries by the Corporation under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not (except to the
extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or
exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity,
reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this
Agreement, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid
under this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE II

     SECTION 2.1.   Assignment.

     This Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the
consent of the other, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be
void; provided, however, that, upon any transfer of the Common Securities, this
Agreement shall be assigned and delegated by the Corporation to its successor
with such transfer without any action by either party hereto.

     SECTION 2.2.   Binding Effect.

     This Agreement shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and
representatives of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the
Beneficiaries.

     SECTION 2.3.   Amendment.

     So long as there shall remain any Beneficiary or any Preferred Securities
of any series shall be outstanding, this Agreement may not be modified or
amended in any manner adverse to such Beneficiary or to the holders of the
Preferred Securities without the consent of such Beneficiary or the holders of
the Preferred Securities, as the case may be.

     (a)  This Guarantee Agreement shall be held by the Guarantee Trustee for
          the benefit of the Holders, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not
          transfer this Guarantee Agreement to any Person except a Holder
          exercising his or her rights pursuant to Section 5.4(iv) or to a
          Successor Guarantee Trustee on acceptance by such Successor Guarantee

          shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set

                                       6
<PAGE>

          such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee
          Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise
          thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
          circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

     (d)  No provision of this Guarantee Agreement 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
                      Guarantee Agreement, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not
                      be liable except for the performance of such duties and
                      obligations as are specifically set forth in this
                      Guarantee Agreement; and

                 B)   in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Guarantee
                      Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, as
                      to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
                      opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
                      opinions furnished to the Guarantee Trustee and conforming
                      to the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement; but in
                      the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any
                      provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act 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 Guarantee Agreement;

          (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 Guarantee Agreement; and

subject to Section 3.1(b), no provision of this Guarantee Agreement 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

                                       7
<PAGE>

is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Guarantee Agreement or

          (iii)  Whenever, in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement,
                 the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be
                 proved or established before taking, suffering or omitting to
                 take any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless other

                 Guarantor.

          (iv)   The Guarantee Trustee may consult with legal counsel, and the

                 any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee

                 costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and
                 liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such
                 request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may
                 be requested by the Guarantee Trustee; provided that nothing
                 contained in this Section 3.2(a)(v) shall be taken to relieve
                 the Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of
                 Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers
                 vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement.

     until such instructions are received, and (C) shall be fully protected in
     acting in accordance with such instructions.

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

     SECTION 3.3.   Indemnity.
                    ----------

     The Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Guarantee Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Guarantee Trustee, arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Guarantee
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. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
termination of this Guarantee Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Guarantee Trustee. The Guarantee Trustee will not claim or exact any lien or
charge on any Guarantee Payments as a result of any amount due to it under this
Guarantee Agreement.

          If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
          pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or examining
          authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 4.1 and to the
          extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
          surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital
          and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so

     (b)  If at any time the Guarantee Trustee shall cease to be eligible to so

     (c)  If the Guarantee Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting
          interest" within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture
          Act, the Guarantee Trustee and Guarantor shall in all respects comply
          with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          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 hereunder 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 Guarantee Trustee.

     (d)  If no Successor Guarantee Trustee shall have been appointed and
          accepted appointment as provided in this Section 4.2 within 60 days
          after delivery to the Guarantor of an instrument of resignation, the
          resigning Guarantee Trustee may petition, at the expense of the
          Guarantor, any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a
          Successor Guarantee Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after

     SECTION 5.1.   Guarantee.
                    ----------

     The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay in full to the
Holders the Guarantee Payments (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid
by or on behalf of the Issuer), as and when due, regardless of any defense,
right of set-off or counterclaim which the Issuer may have or assert, except the
defense of payment. The Guarantor's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may
be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts by the Guarantor to the
Holders or by causing the Issuer to pay such amounts to the Holders.

     SECTION 5.2.   Waiver of Notice and Demand.
                    ---------------------------

     The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of the Guarantee Agreement

payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Guarantee Trustee,
Issuer or any other Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest,
notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other
notices and demands.

     SECTION 5.3.   Obligations Not Affected.
                    ------------------------

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

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

     (b)  the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of all or any
          portion of the Distributions (other than an extension of time for

          interest payment period on the Debentures as provided in the
          Indenture), Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or any other
          sums payable under the terms of the Preferred Securities or the
          extension of time for the performance of any other obligation under,
          arising out of, or in connection with, the Preferred Securities;

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

                                      11
<PAGE>

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

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

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

     (g)  any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a
          legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the
          intent of this Section 5.3 that the obligations of the Guarantor
          hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
          circumstances.

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

     SECTION 5.4.   Rights of Holders.

Holders; (ii) the Guarantee Trustee has the right to enforce this Guarantee
Agreement on behalf of the Holders; (iii) the Holders of a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Guarantee Trustee in respect of this Guarantee Agreement or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee
Agreement; and (iv) any Holder may institute a legal proceeding directly against
the Guarantor to enforce its rights under this Guarantee Agreement, without
first instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee, the Issuer
or any other Person.

     SECTION 5.5.   Guarantee of Payment.
                    --------------------

     This Guarantee Agreement creates a guarantee of payment and not of
collection. This Guarantee Agreement will not be discharged except by payment of
the Guarantee Payments in full (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid
by the Issuer) or upon distribution of Debentures to Holders as provided in the
Declaration.

     SECTION 5.6.   Subrogation.
                    -----------

     The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Holders
against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the Holders by the
Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement and shall have the right to waive
payment by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.1; provided, however, that the
Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of
law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights which it may acquire by way
of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases
as a result of payment under this Guarantee Agreement, if, at the time of any
such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee Agreement. If
any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the

                                      12
<PAGE>

preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the
Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders.

     SECTION 5.7.   Independent Obligations.
                    -----------------------

     The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent
of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Preferred Securities and
that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make
Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee Agreement
notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a)
through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.3 hereof.

                                  ARTICLE VI

     SECTION 6.1.   Subordination.
                    -------------

     The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement will
constitute unsecured obligations of the Guarantor and will rank subordinate and
junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt of the Guarantor to the extent and
manner set forth in the Indenture. The obligations of the Guarantor under this
Guarantee Agreement do not constitute Senior Debt.

     SECTION 6.2.   Pari Passu Guarantees.
                    ----------------------

     The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall rank
pari passu with its obligations under (i) any similar guarantee agreements
issued by the Guarantor on behalf of the holders of preferred or common
securities issued by any Hancock Trust (as defined in the Indenture); (ii) the
Indenture and the Securities (as defined therein) issued thereunder; (iii) the
Expense Agreement (as defined in the Declaration) and any similar expense
agreements entered into by the Guarantor in connection with the offering of
Preferred Securities (as defined in the Indenture) by any Hancock Trust (as
defined in the Indenture), and (iv) any other security, guarantee or other
agreement or obligation that is expressly stated to rank pari passu with the
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement or with any
obligation that ranks pari passu with the obligations of the Guarantor under
this Guarantee Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                  TERMINATION

     SECTION 7.1.   Termination.
                    -----------

     This Guarantee Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect upon (i) full payment of the Redemption Price of all Preferred
Securities, (ii) the distribution of Debentures to the Holders in exchange for
all of the Preferred Securities or (iii) full payment of the amounts payable in
accordance with the Declaration upon liquidation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Guarantee Agreement will continue to be effective or will be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder must restore payment
of any sums paid with respect to Preferred Securities or this Guarantee
Agreement.

will be required), this Guarantee Agreement may only be amended with the prior
approval of the Holders of not less than a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities. The provisions of Article VI of the Declaration concerning
