                  Issuer Trust;

                              (I) unless otherwise determined by the Property
                  Trustee or Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
                  Amount of the Capital Securities or as otherwise required by
                  the Delaware Business Trust Act or the Trust Indenture Act,
                  executing on behalf of the Issuer Trust (either acting alone
                  or together with the other Administrative Trustee) any
                  documents that the Administrative Trustees have the power to
                  execute pursuant to this Trust Agreement; and

                              (J) the taking of any action incidental to the
                  foregoing as the Issuer Trustees may from time to time

         have the power, duty and authority to act on behalf of the Issuer Trust

                              (F) the sending of notices of default and other
                  information regarding the Trust Securities and the Debentures
                  to the Holders in accordance with this Trust Agreement;

                              (G) the distribution of the Trust Property
                  in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement;

                              (H) to the extent provided in this Trust
                  Agreement, the winding up of the affairs of and liquidation of
                  the Issuer Trust and the preparation, execution and filing of

                              (I) performing the duties of the Property
                   Trustee set forth in this Trust Agreement;

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

                  between the action of the Administrative Trustees and the
                  action of the Property Trustee, the action of the Property
                  Trustee shall prevail.

         (b) So long as this Trust Agreement remains in effect, the Issuer Trust
(or the Issuer Trustees acting on behalf of the Issuer Trust) shall not
undertake any business, activities or transaction except as expressly provided
herein or contemplated hereby. In particular, the Issuer Trustees shall not (i)

Agreement, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, mortgage, pledge, set-off or
otherwise dispose of any of the Trust Property or interests therein, including

would reasonably be expected to cause the Issuer Trust to become taxable as a
corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
Federal income tax purposes, (iv) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or
issue any other debt, or (v) take or consent to any action that would result in
the placement of a Lien on any of the Trust Property. The Administrative

at any time claiming any Lien on any of the Trust Property adverse to the
interest of the Issuer Trust or the Holders in their capacity as Holders.

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

                  (i) the preparation and filing by the Issuer Trust with the
         Commission and the execution on behalf of the Issuer Trust of a
         registration statement on the appropriate form in relation to the
         Capital Securities, including any amendments thereto and the taking of
         any action necessary or desirable to sell the Capital Securities in a
         transaction or a series of transactions pursuant thereto;

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

                  (iii) the preparation for filing by the Issuer Trust and
         execution on behalf of the Issuer Trust of an application to the New

         Securities;

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

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

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

         (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer
Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Issuer Trust
and to operate the Issuer Trust so that the Issuer Trust will not be deemed to
be an "investment company" required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act, and will not be taxable as a corporation or classified as other
than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes and so that
the Debentures will be treated as indebtedness of the Depositor for United
States Federal income tax purposes. In this connection, each Administrative
Trustee, the Property Trustee and the Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities are authorized to take any action,
not inconsistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Trust, as restated, or
this Trust Agreement, that such Administrative Trustee, the Property Trustee or
Holders of Common Securities determine in their discretion to be necessary or
desirable for such purposes, as long as such action does

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of the
Outstanding Capital Securities. In no event shall the Issuer Trustees be liable
to the Issuer Trust or the Holders for any failure to comply with this section
that results from a change in law or regulation or in the interpretation
thereof.

         SECTION 2.8. Assets of Trust.

         The assets of the Issuer Trust shall consist of the Trust Property.

         SECTION 2.9. Title to Trust Property.

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

                                  ARTICLE III.

                                 PAYMENT ACCOUNT

         SECTION 3.1. Payment Account.

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

         (b) The Property Trustee shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) in
the Payment Account, promptly upon receipt, all payments of principal of or
interest on, and any other payments or proceeds with respect to, the Debentures.
Amounts held in the Payment Account shall not be invested by the Property
Trustee pending distribution thereof.

                            DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

         SECTION 4.1. Distributions.

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

                                      -15-

<PAGE>
                  (i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative,
         and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Issuer Trust
         available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall
         accumulate from _________ ___, ___, and, except in the event (and to
         the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right to defer the payment
         of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, shall be
         payable semi-annually in arrears on _________ ___ and _________ ___ of
         each year, commencing on _________ ___, ___. If any date on which a
         Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a
         Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on
         the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
         interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that,
         if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, the
         payment of such Distribution shall be made on the immediately preceding
         Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on
         the date on which such payment was originally payable (each date on
         which distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a),
         a "Distribution Date").

                  (ii) The Trust Securities shall be entitled to Distributions
         payable at a rate of _____% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the
         Trust Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for any period
         less than a full Distribution period shall be computed on the basis of
         a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days
         elapsed in a partial month in a period. Distributions payable for each
         full Distribution period will be computed by dividing the rate per
         annum by two. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall
         include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period.

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

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

         SECTION 4.2. Redemption.

         (a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of the
Debentures, the Issuer 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 Holder's address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of
redemption shall state:

                  (i) the Redemption Date;

                  (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 together with a statement that

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

         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 or CUSIP numbers of the Capital
         Securities affected (if applicable);

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

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

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

         The Issuer Trust in issuing the Trust Securities may use "CUSIP"
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall
indicate the "CUSIP" numbers of the Trust Securities in notices of redemption
and related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of
redemption and related materials.

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

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

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

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 (without any interest
or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business
Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect
as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in
respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or
refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to
the Guarantee Agreement, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to
accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally
established by the Issuer 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) 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 to the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based upon the relative
Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Capital Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective
Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously called
for redemption, provided that so long as the Capital Securities are in
book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the
customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities. The
Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of
the Capital Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital
Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be
redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in
part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities
that has been or is to be redeemed.

         SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

         (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) 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(e), pro rata
among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the Liquidation
Amount of the Trust 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 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the
Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution
(including any Additional Amounts) 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 any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital
Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in
the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption
Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then called for redemption, or in
the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such
Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Capital 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 any Additional Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of,
the Capital Securities then due and payable.

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

         (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting
from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall
have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust
Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the
Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all
such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Capital
Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property
Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and
not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of
the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act
on their behalf.

         SECTION 4.4. Payment Procedures.

         Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect
of the Capital 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 Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions
shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds. Payments in
respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be
mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holders of the Common
Securities.

         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
Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and
file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service forms
required to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the
Issuer Trust, and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and
furnished) to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be
provided by the Issuer Trust. 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 Issuer Trustees 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 Issuer 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 Issuer Trust by
the United States or any other taxing authority, which were included in such
Additional Sums.

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

         Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities (or
any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any
corresponding payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to
Section 5.8 of the Indenture or Section 5.13 of this Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 4.8. Liability of the Holder of Common Securities.

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

         SECTION 5.2. The Trust Securities Certificates.

         (a) The Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in
denominations of $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The
Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by
manual signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities
Certificates bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Issuer Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this
Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust
Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall
become a 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 5.5.

         (b) Upon their original issuance, Capital Securities Certificates shall
be issued in the form of one or more Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates
registered in the name of DTC, as Clearing Agency, or its nominee and deposited
with DTC or the Securities Registrar as custodian for DTC for credit by DTC to
the respective accounts of the Owners thereof (or such other accounts as they
may direct).

         (c) 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 5.3. Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.

         At the Time of Delivery, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust
Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in
Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust and delivered
to or upon the written order of the Depositor, executed by one authorized
officer thereof, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in
authorized denominations.

         SECTION 5.4. Book-Entry Capital Securities.

         (a) Each Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate issued under this
Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or a nominee
thereof and delivered to such Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof or custodian
therefor, and each such Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall
constitute a single Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes of this
Agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part
for Capital Securities Certificates registered, and no transfer of a Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate in whole or in part may be registered, in the
name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificates or a nominee thereof unless (i) the Clearing Agency
advises the Issuer Trust in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, and a qualified successor shall not
have been appointed, or the Clearing Agency ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be so
registered to act as such clearing agent, (ii) the Issuer Trust at its option
determines that a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall be so
exchangeable, or (iii) a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, the Property Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency and instruct
the Clearing Agency to notify all Owners of Book- Entry Capital Securities and
the Delaware Trustee and the Administrative Trustees of the occurrence of such
event and of the availability of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates
to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same.

         (c) If any Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged
for other Capital Securities Certificates or cancelled in part, or if any other
Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for
Book-Entry Capital Securities represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificate, then either (i) such Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate
shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article
V or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate shall be reduced, subject to Section 5.2, or
increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that
portion of the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or
cancelled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such other Capital
Securities Certificates to be so exchanged for Book-Entry Capital Securities
represented thereby, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment
made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee,
in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency
or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its
records. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities
Registrar of the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates by
the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing Agency. None of the Securities Registrar, the Issuer Trustees or the
Administrative Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates, the Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates as Holders. The Definitive Capital 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.

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

         (e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as registered owner of a
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, shall be the Holder of such
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement
and the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, and Owners with respect to a
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall hold such interests pursuant to
the Applicable Procedures. The Securities Registrar and the Issuer Trustees
shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this
Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates
(including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the
Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby and the giving of instructions
or directions by Owners of Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby) as
the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby and
shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. None of the Issuer Trustees nor
the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers
effected by the Clearing Agency.

         The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those
established by law, the Applicable Procedures and agreements between such Owners
and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the
Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.4(b), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit payments on the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency
Participants, and none of the Depositor or the Issuer Trustees shall have any
responsibility or obligation with respect thereto.

         SECTION 5.5. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital
Securities Certificates.

         (a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office
or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, a register or registers for the
purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges
of Trust Securities Certificates (the "Securities Register") in which the
registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Trust Securities (the
"Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities Certificates
and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of the
Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of
Capital Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Person acting as the
Property Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities
Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, the
Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute and deliver to the
Property Trustee, and the Property Trustee shall deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount
dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees.

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

         The Securities Registrar shall not be required, (i) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Capital Security during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of
such Capital 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 Capital Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Capital Security to be
redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

         Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative Trustee and the
Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or its attorney duly authorized
in writing. Each Capital Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the
Property Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

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

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, transfers
and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates and beneficial interests in a
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate of the kinds specified in this Section
5.5(b) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 5.5(b).

                  (i) Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to
         Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate. If the Holder of a Capital
         Securities Certificate (other than a Book-Entry Capital Securities
         Certificate) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such
         Capital Securities Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery
         thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Capital
         Securities Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in
         accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and subject to the
         Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Securities Registrar of (A)
         such Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.5(a) and
         instructions satisfactory to the Securities Registrar directing that a
         beneficial interest in the Book- Entry Capital Securities Certificate
         of a specified number of Capital Securities not greater than the number
         of Capital Securities represented by such Capital Securities
         Certificate be credited to a specified Clearing Agency Participant's
         account, then the Securities Registrar shall cancel such Capital
         Securities Certificate (and issue a new Capital Securities Certificate
         in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section
         5.5(a) and increase the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Book-Entry
         Capital Securities Certificate by the Liquidation Amount represented by
         such Capital Securities so transferred as provided in Section 5.4(c).

                  (ii) Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to
         Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate. A Capital Securities
         Certificate that is not a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate may
         be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in
         the form of another Capital Securities Certificate that is not a
         Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section
         5.5(a).

                  (iii) Exchanges between Book-Entry Capital Securities
         Certificate and Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate. A
         beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

         may be exchanged for a Capital Securities Certificate that is not a
         Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.4.

         SECTION 5.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities
Certificates.

         If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust
Securities Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the
Issuer Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities
Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities
Certificate under this Section 5.6, the Administrative Trustees or the
Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets
of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the lost, stolen or
destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any
time.

         SECTION 5.7. Persons Deemed Holders.

         The Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each 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
none of the Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any
notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 5.8. Access to List of Holders' Names and Addresses.

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

         SECTION 5.9. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

         The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the
Administrative Trustees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices
and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities
Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially designate
Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 N. Market Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, as
its office and agency for such purposes. The Property Trustee shall give prompt
written notice to the Depositor, the Administrative Trustees and to the Holders
of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or
agency.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.10. 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
revocable 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 in their sole
discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be The Fifth Third Bank. Any Person
acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30
days' written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. If
The Fifth Third 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 (which shall be a bank or trust company) to
act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent
appointed by the Administrative Trustees shall execute and deliver to the Issuer
Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying
Agent shall agree with the Issuer 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 Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply
to The Fifth Third Bank in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as The Fifth
Third Bank shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other
paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying
Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

         SECTION 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

         At the Time of Delivery, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter
shall retain, beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. The
Depositor may not transfer the Common Securities except (i) in connection with a
consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another corporation, or any
conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the
Indenture, or (ii) to the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof in compliance with
applicable law (including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable
state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted by law, any
attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as set forth in the next
proceeding sentence shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each
Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend
stating substantially "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO THE
DEPOSITOR OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE DEPOSITOR IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND
SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT."

         SECTION 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency.

         To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Capital Securities are
represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, the Issuer Trustees
shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

         SECTION 5.13. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults.

         (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and
the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided
beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer 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 Issuer Trust except as described below. The
Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically
set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have
no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against
payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by
the Issuer Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.8, the Holders of the
Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.

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

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

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

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

                           (B) any accrued Additional Interest on all of the
                  Debentures,

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

                           (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture
                  Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation,
                  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 that has
         become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as
         provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture.

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

         The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive
any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of
principal or interest (unless such default has been cured 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 that under the Indenture cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

         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 Capital Securities a record date shall be established for determining
Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which
record date shall be at the close of business on the day the 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 that is 90 days after
such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and
annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by
any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such
90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or
rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a
written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.13(b).

         (c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the
fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement
and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(1)
or 5.1(2) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the
right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to
Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any
amounts payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such
Holder (a "Direct Action"). Except as set forth in Section 5.13(b) and this
Section 5.13(c), the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to
exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect
of, the Debentures.

         (d) Except as otherwise provided in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 5.13, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities,
waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such
waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any
default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

                                   ARTICLE VI.

                        ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

         SECTION 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights.

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

         (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on
behalf of the Issuer Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Debenture Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Property
Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that may be
waived under Section 5.13 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 Capital Securities, provided, however, that where a
consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each Holder of
Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property
Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Capital Securities.
The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or
approved by a vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities, except by a
subsequent vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities. The Property Trustee
shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any notice of default
received with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing
approvals of the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the
foregoing actions, the Property Trustee 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 Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or
classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax
purposes.

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

         SECTION 6.2. Notice of Meetings.

         Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Capital Securities,
stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the
Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of Capital Securities,
at such Holder's registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days
before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the
meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting.
Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

         SECTION 6.3. Meetings of Holders of the Capital Securities.

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

         The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any
meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

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

         SECTION 6.4. Voting Rights.

         Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 of Liquidation
Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any
matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

         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 Issuer 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 that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken
without a meeting if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount
of all Capital Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such
larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this
Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

         SECTION 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

         For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice
of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any
distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not
otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other
action, the Administrative Trustees or 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 Trust Agreement to be given, made
or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent
duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section
8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided
in this Section.

         The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner that any Issuer 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 Issuer
Trustees or the Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Trust Security.

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

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

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

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

         SECTION 6.9. Inspection of Records.

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

                                  ARTICLE VII.

its obligations as one of the Issuer Trustees under this Trust Agreement.

the laws of the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Property Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, of this Trust Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                               THE ISSUER TRUSTEES

         SECTION 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

         (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as
provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by
the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust
Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 8.1. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an
Administrative Trustee from liability for his or her own negligent action, his
or her own negligent failure to act, or his or her own willful misconduct. To
the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties and
liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee
shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer
Trustee's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The
provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties
and liabilities of the Issuer 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 Issuer Trustees.

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

         (c) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants
shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an
Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to
Section 5.13), the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Trust 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.

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

         (d) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Property Trustee or the Delaware 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 Property
                  Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
                  of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10),
                  and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the
                  performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
                  set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to
                  Section 10.10); and

                           (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
                  Property Trustee, the Property 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 Property Trustee and conforming to the
                  requirements of this Trust 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 Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall
                  be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
                  not they conform to the requirements of this Trust Agreement.

                  (ii) 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;

                  (iii) 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 at least a Majority in
         Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities relating to the time,
         method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
         to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
         upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

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

                  (v) 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;

                  (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for
         monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the
         Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement,

                                      -34-

<PAGE>

         nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct
         of any other Issuer Trustee or the Depositor; and

                  (vii) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the
         Property 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 Property Trustee
         shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such
         funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of
         this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or
         liability is not reasonably assured to it.

         (e) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring
the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or the Depositor with their
respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrative
Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Administrative
Trustee, the other Issuer Trustees or the Depositor.

         SECTION 8.2. Certain Notices.

         Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in
the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of
Default to the 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, the Administrative Trustees shall
transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of
such exercise to the Holders, unless such exercise shall have been revoked.

         The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event
of Default unless the Property Trustee shall have received written notice or a
Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee charged with the administration of
this Trust Agreement shall have obtained actual knowledge of such Event of
Default.

         SECTION 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

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

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

                                      -35-

<PAGE>

Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of the Capital
Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting the
Depositor's opinion as to the course of action to be taken, and the Property
Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the
Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from
taking, by the Depositor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does
not receive such instructions of the Depositor within ten Business Days after it
has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth
in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two
Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the 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 contemplated by this Trust
Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate;

         (d) any direction or act of an Administrative Trustee contemplated by
this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate executed
by such Administrative Trustee and setting forth such direction or act;

         (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 re-registration thereof;

         (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 Trust Agreement from any
court of competent jurisdiction;

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

         (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 or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

be responsible for its own negligence or misconduct with respect to selection of
any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder;

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

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

         No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty
or obligation on any Issuer 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 such Person 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 any Issuer Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

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

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

         The Property Trustee may conclusively assume that any funds held by it
hereunder are legally available unless an officer of the Property Trustee
assigned to its Corporate Trust Administration department shall have received
written notice from the Depositor, any Holder or any other Issuer Trustee that
such funds are not legally available.

         SECTION 8.5. May Hold Securities.

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

         The Depositor agrees:

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

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

         (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and
hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee, (ii) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee,
(iii) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of

liability, action, suit, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature
whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the creation,
operation or termination of the Issuer Trust or any act or omission performed or
omitted by such Indemnified Person on behalf of the Issuer Trust, except that no
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss,
damage, action, suit or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of
negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct with respect to such acts or
omissions.

         The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of
this Trust Agreement and the removal or resignation of any Issuer Trustee.

respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is
a national or state chartered bank and eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture
Act to act as such and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least

authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by
the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Property Trustee with
respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. At the time of
appointment, the Property Trustee must have securities rated in one of the three

         (b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee

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 and that shall

         SECTION 8.8. Conflicting Interests.

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

         (b) The Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture shall be deemed to be
specifically described in this Trust Agreement 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. Any co-trustee or
separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a
natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United
States, or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the
United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such
entity. In case an Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment.

         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:

                                      -39-

<PAGE>

         (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more
Administrative Trustees, and the Trust Securities shall be delivered by the
Property Trustee, 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 Property Trustee specified
hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Property Trustee 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, 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.

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

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

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

         SECTION 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

         No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the "Relevant
Trustee") and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to this
Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Issuer 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 Holders. 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.

<PAGE>

         Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Issuer Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders
of Common Securities. 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 Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its
individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may
be removed by the Holders of Common Securities at any time. In no event will the
Holders of the Capital Securities have a right to vote to appoint, remove or
replace the Administrative Trustees.

         If any Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any
Issuer Trustee for any reason, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of Common Securities, by Act
of the Holders of Common Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Issuer
Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and the retiring Issuer 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 Holders of Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall promptly
appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee
shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an
Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as
Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Holders of Common Securities by Act of the
Holders of Common Securities 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 Holders of Common
Securities or the Holders of Capital Securities 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.

         The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee
to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to
the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant
Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property
Trustee.

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

         SECTION 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

         In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Issuer Trustee such
successor Issuer Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Issuer Trust and to the retiring Issuer Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Issuer
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Issuer Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Issuer Trustee; but, on the request of
the Depositor or the successor Issuer Trustee, such retiring Issuer Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Issuer Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts
of the retiring Issuer Trustee and if the Property Trustee is the resigning
Issuer Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Issuer
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Property Trustee hereunder.

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

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

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

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

         Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any
Administrative Trustee that is not a natural Person 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 that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

                                      -42-

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

         If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any other obligor upon the Capital
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 Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor).

         SECTION 8.14. Property Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

         In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial
proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust
Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on
the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether
the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer 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.

         Property Trustee has not complied in any material respect with such
         obligations, a description of such noncompliance; and

         taken by the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties
         hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion
         materially affects the Trust Securities.

         (b) In addition the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such

<PAGE>

                  (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 procedures
         by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for
         Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies receive a Liquidation
         Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee
         shall deem appropriate.

         (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect
the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Debentures to
Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through
the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for
such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the Liquidation
Date) and, establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the
distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities
Certificates.

         (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the
Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be
issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such
Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use
its best efforts to have the Debentures listed on the national stock exchange,
the Nasdaq National Market or on such other exchange, interdealer quotation
system or self-regulatory organization as the Capital Securities are then
listed, (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange
will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures bearing accrued and
unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions
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 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, or if an Early
Termination Event specified in Section 9.2(c) occurs, the Trust Property shall
be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust shall be dissolved, wound-up or terminated,
by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In
such event, on the date of the dissolution, winding-up or other termination of
the Issuer Trust, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the
Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Issuer 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 dissolution, winding up or
termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the
Issuer 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 Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a
pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the

                                      -47-

<PAGE>
Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any
such dissolution, winding-up or termination pro rata (determined as aforesaid)
with Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default
specified in Section 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture has occurred and is
continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common
Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

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

         The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate,
or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except pursuant
to this Section 9.5. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities,
with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, the Issuer 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 Issuer Trust with
respect to the Capital Securities, or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities
other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities
(the "Successor Securities") so long as the Successor Securities have the same
priority as the Capital Securities with respect to distributions and payments
upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor
entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is
appointed to hold the Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the
Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization which assigns ratings to
the Capital Securities, (iv) the Successor Securities are listed, or any
Successor Securities will be listed upon notice of issuance, on the national
securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or on such other exchange,
interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization as the Capital
Securities are then listed, if any, (v) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Capital
Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (vi)
such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the
Issuer Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Capital
Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b)
following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor entity will be
required to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act, and (viii) the Depositor or its permitted transferee 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 Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust
shall not, except with the consent of Holders of all of the Capital 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 entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor
entity to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor
trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         SECTION 10.1. Limitation of Rights of Holders.

         Except as set forth in Section 9.2, the death or incapacity of any
person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities shall
not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor entitle the legal
representatives or heirs of such person or any 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.

         (a) This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Property Trustee, the Administrative Trustees and the Holders of all of the

(i) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein that may
be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which
shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, or
(ii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to
such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be
taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United
States Federal income tax purposes at all times that any Trust Securities are
outstanding or to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be required to register
as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act; provided, however,
that in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii) such action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder, and any
such amendment of this Trust Agreement shall become effective when notice
thereof is given to the Holders.

         (b) Except as provided in Section 10.2(c), any provision of this Trust
Agreement may be amended by the Issuer Trustees and the Holders of all of the
Common Securities and with (i) the consent of Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities, and (ii) receipt by the Issuer
Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the
exercise of any power granted to the Issuer Trustees in accordance with such
amendment will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or as
other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes or
affect the Issuer Trust's exemption from status as an "investment company" under
the Investment Company Act.

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

                                      -49-

<PAGE>

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no
Issuer Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust
Agreement that would cause the Issuer Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the
exemption from status as an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act or to be taxable as a corporation or to be classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

         (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary,
without the consent of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees, this Trust
Agreement may not be amended in a manner that imposes any additional obligation
on the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees.

         (f) In the event that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is made,
the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall promptly provide to
the Depositor a copy of such amendment.

         (g) Neither the Property Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be
required to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement that affects its
own rights, duties or immunities under this Trust Agreement. The Property
Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers'
Certificate stating that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is in compliance
with this Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 10.3. Separability.

         In case any provision in this Trust Agreement or in the Trust
Securities Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         SECTION 10.4. Governing Law.

         THIS TRUST AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF EACH OF THE
HOLDERS, THE ISSUER TRUST, THE DEPOSITOR AND THE ISSUER TRUSTEES WITH RESPECT TO

WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

         SECTION 10.5. Payments Due on Non-Business Day.

that is not a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such date but
may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (except as
otherwise provided in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.2(d)), with the same force and
effect as though made on the date fixed for such payment, and no Distributions
shall accumulate on such unpaid amount for the period after such date.

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-only portion of the _____% Capital Securities, Series ___ (the
"Capital Securities"), of Fifth Third Capital Trust V, statutory business trust
formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer"), governed by the
Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of ______________, between Fifth
Third Bancorp ("the Corporation"), as Sponsor, Wilmington Trust Company, as
Property Trustee, Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee, and the
Administrative Trustees named therein. The payment of distributions on the
Capital Securities and payments due upon liquidation of the Issuer or redemption
of the Capital Securities, to the extent the Issuer has funds available for the
payment thereof, are guaranteed by the Corporation to the extent set forth in a
Guarantee Agreement, dated as of ______________, between the Corporation and
Wilmington Trust Company, as Guarantee Trustee with respect to the Capital
Securities. The Corporation and the Issuer propose to sell the Capital
Securities to the Underwriters (the "Underwriters") pursuant to a Pricing
Agreement, dated as of ______________, by and among the Underwriters, the Issuer
and the Corporation, which incorporates the provisions of the Underwriting
Agreement, dated as of _____________, and the Underwriters wish to take delivery
of the Capital Securities through DTC. Wilmington Trust Company is acting as

                                       B-1

<PAGE>

                  1. Prior to the closing of the sale of the Capital Securities
to the Underwriters on ________, there shall be deposited with, or held by the
Transfer Agent and Registrar as custodian for, DTC one or more global
certificates (individually and collectively, the "Global Certificate")
registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., representing an aggregate
of _______ Capital Securities and bearing the following legend:

         Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
         The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to 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.

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

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

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

                  8. Distribution payments or other cash payments with respect
to the Capital Securities shall be governed by DTC's current Principal and

refer to Wilmington Trust Company or any successor Property Trustee under the
Amended and Restated Trust Agreement.

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

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

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

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

                  13. This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts,

                                    ARTICLE I

         SECTION 1.1. Guarantee by the Depositor. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Depositor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees to each person or entity to whom the Issuer 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
Issuer Trust, other than obligations of the Issuer Trust to pay to holders of
any Trust Securities the amounts due such holders pursuant to the terms of the
Trust Securities. 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.

         SECTION 1.2. Subordination of Guarantee. The guarantee and other
liabilities and obligations of the Depositor under this Agreement shall
constitute unsecured obligations of the Depositor and shall rank subordinate and
junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the
Indenture) of the Depositor to the extent and in the manner set forth in the
Indenture with respect to the Debentures, and the provisions of Article XIII of
the Indenture will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the obligations of the Depositor
hereunder. The obligations of the Depositor hereunder do not constitute Senior
Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Depositor.

         SECTION 1.3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate and be
of no further force and effect upon the dissolution of the Issuer Trust,
provided, however, that this Agreement shall continue to

                                       D-1

<PAGE>

be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
holder of Capital Securities or any Beneficiary must restore payment of any sums
paid under the Capital Securities, under any Obligation, under the Guarantee
Agreement dated the date hereof by the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company as
guarantee trustee, or under this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. This
Agreement is continuing, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute.

         SECTION 1.4. Waiver of Notice. The Depositor hereby waives notice of
acceptance of this Agreement and of any Obligation to which it applies or may
apply, and the Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Issuer 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 Issuer Trust granting indulgence or extension of any
kind; or

         (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 Issuer Trust or any of the assets of
the Issuer Trust (other than the liquidation of the Issuer Trust in accordance
with the terms thereof).

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

         SECTION 1.6. Enforcement. A Beneficiary may enforce this Agreement
directly against the Depositor and the Depositor waives any right or remedy to
require that any action be brought against the Issuer Trust or any other person
or entity before proceeding against the Depositor.

         SECTION 1.7. Subrogation. The Depositor shall be subrogated to all
rights (if any) of the Issuer Trust in respect of any amounts paid to the
Beneficiaries by the Depositor under this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Depositor 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

party hereto without the consent of the other, and any purported assignment
without such consent shall be void.

         SECTION 2.2. Binding Effect. All guarantees and agreements contained in
this Agreement shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and
representatives of the Depositor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Beneficiaries.

         SECTION 2.3. Amendment. So long as there remains any Beneficiary or any
Capital Securities are outstanding, this Agreement shall not be modified or
amended in any manner adverse to such Beneficiary or to the holders of the
Capital Securities without the consent of such Beneficiary or the holders of the
Capital Securities, as the case may be.

                  (i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative,

         payable at a rate of _____% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the

         a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days
         elapsed in a partial month in a period. Distributions payable for each
         full Distribution period will be computed by dividing the rate per

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

         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 or CUSIP numbers of the Capital
         Securities affected (if applicable);

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

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

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

         The Issuer Trust in issuing the Trust Securities may use "CUSIP"
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall
indicate the "CUSIP" numbers of the Trust Securities in notices of redemption
and related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of
redemption and related materials.

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

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

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
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 (without any interest
or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business
Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect
as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in
respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or
refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to
the Guarantee Agreement, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to
accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally
established by the Issuer 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) 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 to the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based upon the relative
Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Capital Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective
Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously called
for redemption, provided that so long as the Capital Securities are in
book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the
customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities. The
Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of
the Capital Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital
Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be
redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in
part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities
that has been or is to be redeemed.

         SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

         (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) 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(e), pro rata
among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the Liquidation
Amount of the Trust 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 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the
Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution
(including any Additional Amounts) 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 any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital
Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in
the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption
Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then called for redemption, or in
the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such
Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Capital 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 any Additional Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of,
the Capital Securities then due and payable.

                                      -18-

<PAGE>
         (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting
from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall
have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust
Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the
Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all
such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Capital
Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property
Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and
not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of
the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act
on their behalf.

         SECTION 4.4. Payment Procedures.

         Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect
of the Capital 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 Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions
shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds. Payments in
respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be
mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holders of the Common
Securities.

         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
Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and
file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service forms
required to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the
Issuer Trust, and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and
furnished) to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be
provided by the Issuer Trust. 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 Issuer Trustees 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 Issuer 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 Issuer Trust by
the United States or any other taxing authority, which were included in such
Additional Sums.

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

         Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities (or
any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any
corresponding payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to
Section 5.8 of the Indenture or Section 5.13 of this Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 4.8. Liability of the Holder of Common Securities.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>
         As permitted under the Delaware Business Trust Act, the Holder of the
Common Securities shall be liable for the debts and obligations of the Trust as
set forth in the Expense Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE V.

                          TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES

         SECTION 5.1. Initial Ownership.

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

         SECTION 5.2. The Trust Securities Certificates.

         (a) The Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in
denominations of $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The
Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by
manual signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities
Certificates bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Issuer Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this
Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust
Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall
become a 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 5.5.

         (b) Upon their original issuance, Capital Securities Certificates shall
be issued in the form of one or more Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates
registered in the name of DTC, as Clearing Agency, or its nominee and deposited
with DTC or the Securities Registrar as custodian for DTC for credit by DTC to
the respective accounts of the Owners thereof (or such other accounts as they
may direct).

         (c) 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 5.3. Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.

         At the Time of Delivery, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust
Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in
Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust and delivered
to or upon the written order of the Depositor, executed by one authorized
officer thereof, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in
authorized denominations.

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

         SECTION 5.4. Book-Entry Capital Securities.

         (a) Each Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate issued under this
Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or a nominee
thereof and delivered to such Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof or custodian
therefor, and each such Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall
constitute a single Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes of this
Agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part
for Capital Securities Certificates registered, and no transfer of a Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate in whole or in part may be registered, in the
name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificates or a nominee thereof unless (i) the Clearing Agency
advises the Issuer Trust in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, and a qualified successor shall not
have been appointed, or the Clearing Agency ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be so
registered to act as such clearing agent, (ii) the Issuer Trust at its option
determines that a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall be so
exchangeable, or (iii) a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, the Property Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency and instruct
the Clearing Agency to notify all Owners of Book- Entry Capital Securities and
the Delaware Trustee and the Administrative Trustees of the occurrence of such
event and of the availability of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates
to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same.

         (c) If any Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged
for other Capital Securities Certificates or cancelled in part, or if any other
Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for
Book-Entry Capital Securities represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificate, then either (i) such Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate
shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article
V or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate shall be reduced, subject to Section 5.2, or
increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that
portion of the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or
cancelled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such other Capital
Securities Certificates to be so exchanged for Book-Entry Capital Securities
represented thereby, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment
made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee,
in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency
or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its
records. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities
Registrar of the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates by
the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing Agency. None of the Securities Registrar, the Issuer Trustees or the
Administrative Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates, the Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates as Holders. The Definitive Capital 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.

                                      -21-

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

         (e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as registered owner of a
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, shall be the Holder of such
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement
and the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, and Owners with respect to a
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall hold such interests pursuant to
the Applicable Procedures. The Securities Registrar and the Issuer Trustees
shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this
Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates
(including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the
Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby and the giving of instructions
or directions by Owners of Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby) as
the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby and
shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. None of the Issuer Trustees nor
the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers
effected by the Clearing Agency.

         The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those
established by law, the Applicable Procedures and agreements between such Owners
and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the
Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.4(b), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit payments on the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency
Participants, and none of the Depositor or the Issuer Trustees shall have any
responsibility or obligation with respect thereto.

         SECTION 5.5. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital
Securities Certificates.

         (a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office
or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, a register or registers for the
purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges
of Trust Securities Certificates (the "Securities Register") in which the
registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Trust Securities (the
"Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities Certificates
and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of the
Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of
Capital Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Person acting as the
Property Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities
Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, the
Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute and deliver to the
Property Trustee, and the Property Trustee shall deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount
dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees.

                                      -22-
<PAGE>
         The Securities Registrar shall not be required, (i) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Capital Security during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of
such Capital 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 Capital Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Capital Security to be
redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

         Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative Trustee and the
Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or its attorney duly authorized
in writing. Each Capital Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the
Property Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

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

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, transfers
and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates and beneficial interests in a
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate of the kinds specified in this Section
5.5(b) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 5.5(b).

                  (i) Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to
         Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate. If the Holder of a Capital
         Securities Certificate (other than a Book-Entry Capital Securities
         Certificate) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such
         Capital Securities Certificate to a Person who wishes to take delivery
         thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Capital
         Securities Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in
         accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and subject to the
         Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Securities Registrar of (A)
         such Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.5(a) and
         instructions satisfactory to the Securities Registrar directing that a
         beneficial interest in the Book- Entry Capital Securities Certificate
         of a specified number of Capital Securities not greater than the number
         of Capital Securities represented by such Capital Securities
         Certificate be credited to a specified Clearing Agency Participant's
         account, then the Securities Registrar shall cancel such Capital
         Securities Certificate (and issue a new Capital Securities Certificate
         in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section
         5.5(a) and increase the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Book-Entry
         Capital Securities Certificate by the Liquidation Amount represented by
         such Capital Securities so transferred as provided in Section 5.4(c).

                  (ii) Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to
         Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate. A Capital Securities
         Certificate that is not a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate may
         be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in
         the form of another Capital Securities Certificate that is not a
         Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section
         5.5(a).

                  (iii) Exchanges between Book-Entry Capital Securities
         Certificate and Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate. A
         beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
         may be exchanged for a Capital Securities Certificate that is not a
         Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.4.

         SECTION 5.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities
                      Certificates.

         If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust
Securities Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the
Issuer Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities
Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities
Certificate under this Section 5.6, the Administrative Trustees or the
Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets
of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the lost, stolen or
destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any
time.

         SECTION 5.7.         Persons Deemed Holders.

         The Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each 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
none of the Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any
notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 5.8. Access to List of Holders' Names and Addresses.

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

         SECTION 5.9. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

         The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the
Administrative Trustees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices
and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities
Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially designate
Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 N. Market Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, as
its office and agency for such purposes. The Property Trustee shall give prompt
written notice to the Depositor, the Administrative Trustees and to the Holders
of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or
agency.

         SECTION 5.10.        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
revocable 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 in their sole
discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be The Fifth Third Bank. Any Person
acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30
days' written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. If
The Fifth Third 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 (which shall be a bank or trust company) to
act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent
appointed by the Administrative Trustees shall execute and deliver to the Issuer
Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying
Agent shall agree with the Issuer 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 Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply
to The Fifth Third Bank in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as The Fifth
Third Bank shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other
paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying
Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

         SECTION 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

         At the Time of Delivery, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter
shall retain, beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. The
Depositor may not transfer the Common Securities except (i) in connection with a
consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another corporation, or any
conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the
Indenture, or (ii) to the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof in compliance with
applicable law (including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable
state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted by law, any
attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as set forth in the next
proceeding sentence shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each
Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend
stating substantially "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO THE
DEPOSITOR OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE DEPOSITOR IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND
SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT."

         SECTION 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency.

         To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Capital Securities are
represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, the Issuer Trustees
shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

         SECTION 5.13. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults.

         (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and
the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided
beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer 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 Issuer Trust except as described below. The
Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically
set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have
no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against
payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by
the Issuer Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.8, the Holders of the
Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.

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

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

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

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

                               (B) any accrued Additional Interest on all of the
                  Debentures,

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

                              (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture
                  Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation,
                  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 that has
         become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as
         provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture.

                                      -26-

<PAGE>
         The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive
any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of
principal or interest (unless such default has been cured 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 that under the Indenture cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

         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 Capital Securities a record date shall be established for determining
Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which
record date shall be at the close of business on the day the 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 that is 90 days after
such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and
annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by
any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such
90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or
rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a
written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.13(b).

         (c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the
fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement
and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(1)
or 5.1(2) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the
right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to
Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any
amounts payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such
Holder (a "Direct Action"). Except as set forth in Section 5.13(b) and this
Section 5.13(c), the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to
exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect
of, the Debentures.

         (d) Except as otherwise provided in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 5.13, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities,
waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such
waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any
default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

                        ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

      SECTION 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights.

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

      (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf
of the Issuer Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture
Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with
respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived under
Section 5.13 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 Capital Securities, provided, however, that where a
consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each Holder of
Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property
Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Capital Securities.
The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or
approved by a vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities, except by a
subsequent vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities. The Property Trustee
shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any notice of default
received with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing
approvals of the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the
foregoing actions, the Property Trustee 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 Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or
classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax
purposes.

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

      SECTION 6.2. Notice of Meetings.

      Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Capital Securities, stating
the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of Capital Securities, at such
Holder's registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before
the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may
be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any
adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

      SECTION 6.3. Meetings of Holders of the Capital Securities.

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

      The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any
meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

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

      SECTION 6.4. Voting Rights.

      Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 of Liquidation
Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any
matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

      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 Issuer 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.

<PAGE>
      SECTION 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent.

      Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without
a meeting if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all
Capital Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger
proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Trust
Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

      SECTION 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

      For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of
and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any
distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not
otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other
action, the Administrative Trustees or 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 Trust Agreement to be given, made or
taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1)
conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided in
this Section.

      The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or
writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner that any Issuer 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 Issuer Trustees
or the Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is made upon such Trust Security.

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
      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 which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.

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

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

      SECTION 6.9. Inspection of Records.

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

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      SECTION 7.1. Representations and Warranties of the Property Trustee and
the Delaware Trustee.

      The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, each severally on behalf of
and as to itself, hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the

by the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee and constitutes the valid and

similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles;

      (f) the execution, delivery and performance of this Trust Agreement has

Trustee or the Delaware Trustee is a party or by which it is bound, or (iii)
violate any law, governmental rule or regulation of the State of Delaware
governing the banking, trust or general powers of the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee (as appropriate in context) or any order, judgment or decree

      (g) neither the authorization, execution or delivery by the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee of this Trust Agreement nor the consummation of
any of the transactions by the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee (as

the State of Delaware governing the banking, trust or general powers of the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be; and

      (h) there are no proceedings pending or, to the best of each of the
Property Trustee's and the Delaware Trustee's knowledge, threatened against or
affecting the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee in any court or before
any governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal that,

Issuer 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 the Issuer Trustees under this Trust Agreement.

      SECTION 7.2. Representations and Warranties of Depositor.

Agreement and the Holders will be, as of each such date, entitled to the

laws of the State of Delaware or any political subdivision thereof in connection
with the execution, delivery and performance by the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, of this Trust Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

                               THE ISSUER TRUSTEES

      SECTION 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

      (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as
provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by
the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust
Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 8.1. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an
Administrative Trustee from liability for his or her own negligent action, his
or her own negligent failure to act, or his or her own willful misconduct. To
the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties and
liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee
shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer
Trustee's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The
provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties
and liabilities of the Issuer 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 Issuer Trustees.

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

      (c) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants
shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an
Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to
Section 5.13), the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Trust 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.

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
      (d) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Property Trustee or the Delaware 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 Property Trustee shall
            be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust
            Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the Property
            Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
            duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust
            Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10); and

                  (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property
            Trustee, the Property 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 Property
            Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Trust 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 Property Trustee, the Property
            Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
            whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Trust
            Agreement.

            (ii) 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;

            (iii) 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 at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount
      of the Capital Securities relating to the time, method and place of
      conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property
      Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property
      Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

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

            (v) 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;

            (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring
      the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with their
      respective duties under this Trust Agreement,

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
      nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of
      any other Issuer Trustee or the Depositor; and

            (vii) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the
      Property 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 Property Trustee shall
      have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or
      liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust
      Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
      reasonably assured to it.

      (e) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring
the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or the Depositor with their
respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrative
Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Administrative
Trustee, the other Issuer Trustees or the Depositor.

      SECTION 8.2. Certain Notices.

      Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in
the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of
Default to the 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, the Administrative Trustees shall transmit, in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to
the Holders, unless such exercise shall have been revoked.

      The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of
Default unless the Property Trustee shall have received written notice or a
Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee charged with the administration of
this Trust Agreement shall have obtained actual knowledge of such Event of
Default.

      SECTION 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

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

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

                                      -35-
<PAGE>
Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of the Capital
Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting the
Depositor's opinion as to the course of action to be taken, and the Property
Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the
Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from
taking, by the Depositor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does
not receive such instructions of the Depositor within ten Business Days after it
has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth
in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two
Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the 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 contemplated by this Trust
Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate;

      (d) any direction or act of an Administrative Trustee contemplated by this
Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate executed by
such Administrative Trustee and setting forth such direction or act;

      (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 re-registration thereof;

      (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 Trust Agreement from any
court of competent jurisdiction;

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

      (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 or
attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
be responsible for its own negligence or misconduct with respect to selection of
any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder;

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

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

      No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or
obligation on any Issuer 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 such Person 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 any Issuer Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

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

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

      The Property Trustee may conclusively assume that any funds held by it
hereunder are legally available unless an officer of the Property Trustee
assigned to its Corporate Trust Administration department shall have received
written notice from the Depositor, any Holder or any other Issuer Trustee that
such funds are not legally available.

      SECTION 8.5. May Hold Securities.

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

      SECTION 8.6. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.

      The Depositor agrees:

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

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

      (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and
hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee, (ii) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee,
(iii) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of
any Issuer Trustee, and (iv) any employee or agent of the Issuer Trust (referred
to herein as an "Indemnified Person") from and against any loss, damage,
liability, action, suit, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature
whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the creation,
operation or termination of the Issuer Trust or any act or omission performed or
omitted by such Indemnified Person on behalf of the Issuer Trust, except that no
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss,
damage, action, suit or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of
negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct with respect to such acts or
omissions.

      The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this
Trust Agreement and the removal or resignation of any Issuer Trustee.

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

      SECTION 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Issuer
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 a
national or state chartered bank and eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture
Act to act as such and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by
the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Property Trustee with
respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. At the time of
appointment, the Property Trustee must have securities rated in one of the three
highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization.

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
      (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 and that shall
act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.

      SECTION 8.8. Conflicting Interests.

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

      (b) The Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture shall be deemed to be
specifically described in this Trust Agreement 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. Any co-trustee or separate
trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person
who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States, or (ii) a
legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that
shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. In case an
Event of Default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Property Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.

      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:

                                      -39-
<PAGE>
      (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrative
Trustees, and the Trust Securities shall be delivered by the Property Trustee,
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 Property Trustee specified hereunder shall be
exercised solely by the Property Trustee 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,
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.

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

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

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

      SECTION 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

      No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee")
and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer
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 Holders. 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.

                                      -40-
<PAGE>
      Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
any Issuer Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of Common
Securities. 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 Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its
individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may
be removed by the Holders of Common Securities at any time. In no event will the
Holders of the Capital Securities have a right to vote to appoint, remove or
replace the Administrative Trustees.

      If any Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any
Issuer Trustee for any reason, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of Common Securities, by Act
of the Holders of Common Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Issuer
Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and the retiring Issuer 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 Holders of Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall promptly
appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee
shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an
Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as
Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Holders of Common Securities by Act of the
Holders of Common Securities 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 Holders of Common
Securities or the Holders of Capital Securities 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.

      The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee
to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to
the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant
Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property
Trustee.

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

                                      -41-

      SECTION 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

      In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Issuer Trustee such
successor Issuer Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Issuer Trust and to the retiring Issuer Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Issuer
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Issuer Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Issuer Trustee; but, on the request of
the Depositor or the successor Issuer Trustee, such retiring Issuer Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Issuer Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts
of the retiring Issuer Trustee and if the Property Trustee is the resigning
Issuer Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Issuer
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Property Trustee hereunder.

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

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

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

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

      Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any
Administrative Trustee that is not a natural Person 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 that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

                                      -42-
<PAGE>
      SECTION 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or
Issuer Trust.

      If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any other obligor upon the Capital
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 Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor).

      SECTION 8.14. Property Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

      In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial
proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust
Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on
the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether
the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer 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 8.15. Reports by Property Trustee.

      (a) Not later than January 31 of each year, commencing with January 31,
____, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Holders in accordance with
Section 10.8, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of the immediately
preceding December 31 with respect to:

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

                       TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

      SECTION 9.1. Termination Upon Expiration Date.

      Unless earlier terminated, the Issuer Trust shall automatically terminate
on _________ ___, ____ (the "Expiration Date"), following the distribution of
the Trust Property in accordance with Section 9.4.

      SECTION 9.2. Early Termination.

      The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early Termination
Event":

or liquidation of, the Depositor;

      (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from all of the Holders
of the Common Securities at any time to terminate the Issuer Trust and to

(which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holders of

      (d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust by a court

      SECTION 9.4. Liquidation.

determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Issuer 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 the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid
mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to
each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the
Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall:

                                      -46-
<PAGE>
            (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 procedures by
      which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures,
      or if Section 9.4(d) applies receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the
      Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall deem appropriate.

      (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the
liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Debentures to Holders,
the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the
appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such
distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the Liquidation
Date) and, establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the
distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities
Certificates.

      (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation
Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii)
certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be issued to Holders
of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such Certificates to the
exchange agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use its best efforts to
have the Debentures listed on the national stock exchange, the Nasdaq National
Market or on such other exchange, interdealer quotation system or
self-regulatory organization as the Capital Securities are then listed, (iv) any
Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to
represent a Like Amount of Debentures bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an
amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions 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 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, or if an Early
Termination Event specified in Section 9.2(c) occurs, the Trust Property shall
be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust shall be dissolved, wound-up or terminated,
by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In
such event, on the date of the dissolution, winding-up or other termination of
the Issuer Trust, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the
Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Issuer 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 dissolution, winding up or
termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the
Issuer 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 Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a
pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the

                                      -47-
<PAGE>
Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any
such dissolution, winding- up or termination pro rata (determined as aforesaid)
with Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default
specified in Section 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture has occurred and is
continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common
Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

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

      The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or
be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except pursuant
to this Section 9.5. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities,
with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, the Issuer 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 Issuer Trust with
respect to the Capital Securities, or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities
other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities
(the "Successor Securities") so long as the Successor Securities have the same
priority as the Capital Securities with respect to distributions and payments
upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor
entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is
appointed to hold the Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the
Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization which assigns ratings to
the Capital Securities, (iv) the Successor Securities are listed, or any
Successor Securities will be listed upon notice of issuance, on the national
securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or on such other exchange,
interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization as the Capital
Securities are then listed, if any, (v) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Capital
Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (vi)
such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the
Issuer Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Capital
Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b)
following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor entity will be
required to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act, and (viii) the Depositor or its permitted transferee 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 Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust
shall not, except with the consent of Holders of all of the Capital 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 entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor
entity to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor
trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

      SECTION 10.1. Limitation of Rights of Holders.

      Except as set forth in Section 9.2, the death or incapacity of any person
having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not
operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor entitle the legal representatives

with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which
shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, or

Agreement may be amended by the Issuer Trustees and the Holders of all of the
Common Securities and with (i) the consent of Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities, and (ii) receipt by the Issuer
Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the
exercise of any power granted to the Issuer Trustees in accordance with such
amendment will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or as
other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes or
affect the Issuer Trust's exemption from status as an "investment company" under
the Investment Company Act.

      (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust
Agreement, without the consent of each affected Holder (such consent being
obtained in accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6), this Trust Agreement may not be

Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required

payment on or after such date; and notwithstanding any other provision herein,
without the unanimous consent of the Holders (such consent being obtained in
accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6), this Section 10.2(c) may not be amended.

Act or to be taxable as a corporation or to be classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

      (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary,

Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall promptly provide to the
Depositor a copy of such amendment.

      (g) Neither the Property Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be
required to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement that affects its
own rights, duties or immunities under this Trust Agreement. The Property
Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers'
Certificate stating that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is in compliance
with this Trust Agreement.

      SECTION 10.3. Separability.

      In case any provision in this Trust Agreement or in the Trust Securities
Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

                   _____% Capital Securities, Series ___
                   CUSIP____________________

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-only portion of the _____% Capital Securities, Series ___ (the
"Capital Securities"), of Fifth Third Capital Trust VI, statutory business trust
formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer"), governed by the
Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of ______________, between Fifth
Third Bancorp ("the Corporation"), as Sponsor, Wilmington Trust Company, as
Property Trustee, Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee, and the
Administrative Trustees named therein. The payment of distributions on the
Capital Securities and payments due upon liquidation of the Issuer or redemption
of the Capital Securities, to the extent the Issuer has funds available for the
payment thereof, are guaranteed by the Corporation to the extent set forth in a
Guarantee Agreement, dated as of ______________, between the Corporation and
Wilmington Trust Company, as Guarantee Trustee with respect to the Capital
Securities. The Corporation and the Issuer propose to sell the Capital
Securities to the Underwriters (the "Underwriters") pursuant to a Pricing
Agreement, dated as of ______________, by and among the Underwriters, the Issuer
and the Corporation, which incorporates the provisions of the Underwriting
Agreement, dated as of _____________, and the Underwriters wish to take delivery
of the Capital Securities through DTC. Wilmington Trust Company is acting as
transfer agent and registrar with respect to the Capital Securities (the
"Transfer Agent and Registrar").

            To induce DTC to accept the Capital Securities as eligible for
deposit at DTC, and to act in accordance with DTC's rules with respect to the
Capital Securities, the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar make the
following representations to DTC:

                                       B-1
<PAGE>
            1. Prior to the closing of the sale of the Capital Securities to the
Underwriters on ________, there shall be deposited with, or held by the Transfer
Agent and Registrar as custodian for, DTC one or more global certificates
(individually and collectively, the "Global Certificate") registered in the name
of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., representing an aggregate of _______ Capital
Securities and bearing the following legend:

      Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
      The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to 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.

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

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

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

                             Garden City, New York 11530-4719

            6. In the event of any invitation to tender the Capital Securities,
notice specifying the terms of the tender and the Publication Date of such
notice shall be sent by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar to DTC by
a secure means and in a timely manner as described in paragraph 4. Notices to
DTC pursuant to this paragraph and notices of other corporate actions (including
mandatory tenders, exchanges and capital changes), shall be sent, unless

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

                             7 Hanover Square, 23rd Floor
                             New York, New York 10004-2695

<PAGE>
            8. Distribution payments or other cash payments with respect to the
Capital Securities shall be governed by DTC's current Principal and Income
Payments Rider, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex I. For purposes of
this letter, the term "Agent" used in Annex I shall be deemed to refer to
Wilmington Trust Company or any successor Property Trustee under the Amended and
Restated Trust Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

                                       B-4

      Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Transfer Agent and Registrar
to advance funds on behalf of Fifth Third Capital Trust VI.
