                               THE MIDLAND COMPANY
                         AGENT STOCK ACQUISITION PROGRAM

     1. PURPOSE.

     The purpose of the Agent Stock Acquisition Program (the "Program") is to
provide persons performing insurance agency services for The Midland Company
("Midland") or any of its insurance subsidiaries or affiliates (such
subsidiaries and affiliates and Midland are hereinafter collectively referred to
as "Company") performance-related incentives to achieve long-range performance
goals and to enable such persons to participate in the long-term growth and
financial success of the Company. The Program seeks to accomplish this purpose
by permitting eligible agencies to purchase restricted shares of Midland's
Common Stock (the "Common Stock") at below-market prices. On January 29, 2004,
the Board of Directors of The Midland Company approved the Program, subject to
the shareholder approval requirements of NASD Rule 4350(i).

     2. ELIGIBILITY.

     This Program is available to all Eligible Agencies. "Eligible Agencies" are
insurance agencies and agents (each an "Agency") that have a direct contract
with Company to promote and sell the Company's lines of insurance that have: (1)
earned the threshold contingent commission established by the Committee (as
defined herein) for the Accounting Period (as defined herein) immediately
preceding the applicable Purchase Date (as defined herein); and (2) been
selected for participation by such Committee, in its sole discretion.

     3. EFFECTIVE DATE.

     This Program shall become effective upon approval by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the votes cast at a shareholders' meeting of the Company prior
to December 31, 2004. If shareholder approval is not received by such date, the
Program shall be null and void.

     4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM.

     The Program shall be administered by a committee consisting of not less
than two (2) persons (the "Committee"), the members of which shall be designated
by the Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief Financial Officer of Midland. The
Committee may amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Program or any
portion thereof at any time and for any reason, including a reason related to
the necessity or advisability to register or qualify shares of Common Stock
issued under the Program upon any securities exchange or under any state or
federal law; provided, however, that no amendment shall be made without
requisite shareholder or other approval under applicable law or NASD regulation
or without the approval of the Board of Directors if such amendment increases
the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Program.

     The Committee has the sole power and authority to: (i) interpret and
administer the Program and any instrument or agreement entered into under the
Program; (ii) establish such rules and regulations and appoint such agents and
delegate such authority as it shall deem appropriate for the proper
administration of the Program; (iii) establish the threshold contingent
commission for Eligible Agencies and the amount of contingent commission
Eligible Agencies must receive in shares of Common Stock to participate in the
Program; and (iv) make any other determination and take any other action that
the Committee deems necessary or desirable for administration of the Program,
including, but not limited to, the waiver of any Agency eligibility requirement,
in its sole discretion. Decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon all persons, including Company, any participant and any other
Agency. A majority of the members of the Committee may determine its actions and
fix the time and place of its meetings.

                                       1

     5. PARTICIPATION.

     Following the close of each Accounting Period, the Company will provide an
election form along with any other documents, agreements or instruments the
Company deems necessary or advisable (the "Election Form") to each Eligible
Agency. The "Accounting Period" will be monthly, quarterly or annually
consistent with the contractual arrangement for payment of contingent
commissions between the Eligible Agent and Company. The Election Form will allow
such Agency to decide how much of its contingent commission it wants to receive
in Common Stock and how much it wants to receive in cash.

     The Company will not issue fractional shares under any circumstances. Any
portion of the Eligible Agency's contingent commission not applied to the
purchase of whole shares will be paid in cash directly to the Eligible Agency.
To participate in the Program, the Eligible Agency must elect to receive a
minimum dollar amount of its contingent commission in shares of Common Stock;
such minimum dollar amount to be established by the Committee, in its sole
discretion. The Company will pay all costs of the Program. Participants (as
herein defined) can purchase Midland Common Stock without the payment of any
brokerage commission or other charges.

     The Eligible Agency must complete the Election Form and return it to the
Committee by the due date determined by the Committee and communicated to the
Eligible Agent ("Due Date") to participate in the Program for an Accounting
Period. Eligible Agencies are under no obligation to participate in the Program.
If an Eligible Agency chooses not to participate or if Company does not receive
the Election Form by the Due Date, it will receive its contingent commission in
cash.

     6. PURCHASE PRICE.

     Eligible Agencies can make purchases under the Program on the Purchase
Date. "Purchase Date" means the first day on which shares of the Common Stock
are traded on the Nasdaq National Market immediately following the Due Date. The
purchase price will be 90% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
Purchase Date. "Fair Market Value" means the last closing price for a share of
Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market. If the shares are not so
traded or reported, Fair Market Value shall be set under procedures established
by the Committee.

     7. LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER.

     Shares of Common Stock purchased under the Program will be registered in
the names of the participants ("Participants" or "Participating Agencies") in
the Program and held in book entry form by Midland's Transfer Agent and
Registrar for Midland's Common Stock, currently National City Bank ("National
City"). The transfer of shares of Common Stock received under the Program will
be restricted for one year from the purchase date.

     During the applicable restricted period, although the shares will be
registered in the Participant's name and held in its account at National City,
the Participant will not be allowed to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or
otherwise dispose of its shares. The Participant will be able to vote its
restricted shares during this period.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may sell shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Program, subject to such terms and conditions, including
restrictions or limitations on the transferability on such shares, as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall from time to time determine. The
Committee has broad discretion as to the specific terms and conditions of the
transfer restrictions.

     8. DIVIDENDS.

     Midland pays dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, to
the record holders of shares of its Common Stock. As the record holder of shares
of Common Stock purchased under the Program, a Participating Agency will receive
dividends, if any, in cash for all shares registered in such Agency's name on
the record date. Participants in the Program also will be eligible to
participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan on the terms and conditions of
such plan, if they so desire. If a Participant elects to participate in the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan, it will be entitled to reinvest its dividends to
purchase additional shares of Common Stock. The transfer restrictions

                                       2
<PAGE>

applicable to shares purchased under the Program will not apply to any Common
Stock purchased under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

     9. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PROGRAM.

     The Committee may terminate the Program at any time. Notice of termination
shall be given to all Participants, but any failure to give such notice shall
not impair the effectiveness of the termination. The Program will terminate in
any event when the maximum number of Common Shares to be sold under the Program
has been purchased. If at any time the number of shares remaining available for
purchase under the Program is not sufficient to satisfy all then-outstanding
purchase rights, the Committee may determine an equitable basis of allocating
available shares among all Participants. The Committee may amend the Program
from time to time; provided, however, no such amendment shall increase the
maximum number of Common Shares that may be purchased under the Program without
requisite shareholder approval or other approval under applicable law or Nasdaq
regulation.

     10. NON-TRANSFERABILITY.

     No right or interest in this Program shall be assignable or transferable,
or subject to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, or
otherwise, including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or
bankruptcy. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition
of any rights under this Program shall be null and void and shall automatically
terminate all rights of a Participant under the Plan.

     11. SHAREHOLDER'S RIGHTS.

     No Eligible Agency shall by reason of this Program have any rights of a
shareholder of Midland until and to the extent such agency acquires Common Stock
as herein provided. Upon purchase of the Common Stock, the Participant shall
have all rights of a shareholder of Midland, but no special rights or benefits
because such agency serves as an agent for the sale of insurance. Neither the
establishment of this Program nor the purchase of any Common Stock hereunder
shall modify or in any way impact any provision of any Agency Agreement or other
contract.

     12. MAXIMUM NUMBER AND SOURCE OF SHARES; ADJUSTMENTS.

     The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all
Participants under this Program is 50,000. Common Stock sold hereunder may be
treasury shares, authorized and unissued shares, or a combination thereof. The
Committee may also purchase (or direct to be purchased) Common Stock on behalf
of the Participants through market transactions. If Company shall, at any time,
change its issued Common Stock into a different number through stock dividend,
stock split, combination or otherwise, the number of shares of Common Stock
specified in this Program shall be proportionately adjusted.

     13. TAX CONSEQUENCES.

     The Stock Acquisition Program does not qualify for compliance with any
section of the United States Internal Revenue Code or the regulations
thereunder. Specifically, the Stock Acquisition Program has not satisfied the
conditions of Sections 401, 421 or 423 of the Code. The Stock Acquisition
Program Participants should understand that under current law the value of the
discount received in connection with their acquisition of stock under the
Program shall be taxable as income to such Participants. The foregoing
discussion is not a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects
relevant to participation in the Stock Acquisition Program. The Stock
Acquisition Program Participants are urged to consult their own tax advisors in
determining the federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences, and
any other tax consequences, of participation in the Stock Acquisition Program.

     14. MISCELLANEOUS.

         14.1 Any authorization, election, notice or document under this Program
from an Eligible Agency or Participant shall be delivered to the Committee or
its designee and shall be effective when delivered.

         14.2 This Program, and Company's obligation to sell and deliver Common
Stock hereunder, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign
laws, rules and regulations, and to such approval by any regulatory or
governmental agency as may, in the opinion of counsel for Company, be required.

         14.3 Company may deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to this
Program, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any
shares of Common Stock or the payment of any cash to a Participant, payment by
the Participant of any brokerage commissions or fees due upon the sale or
transfer of Common Stock by the Participant or federal, state, local or foreign
taxes required by law to be withheld. The Committee may permit any such
withholding obligation to be satisfied by reducing the number of shares of
Common Stock otherwise deliverable or by accepting the delivery of previously
owned shares of Common Stock. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required
to satisfy such obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be
paid instead in cash by the Participant.

         14.4 The internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving
effect to the conflict of law provisions thereof, shall govern this Program and
actions taken in connection with it. Any litigation involving or arising under
this Program shall be maintained solely in the Common Pleas Court of Clermont
County, Ohio or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Ohio.

         14.5 No director, officer or employee of Company or member of the
Committee shall be liable for any action or determination taken or made in good
faith with respect to the Program or any Common Stock hereunder and, to the
fullest extent not prohibited by law, all directors, officers, employees and
members shall be indemnified and held harmless by Company for any liability and
expenses which may occur through any claim or cause of action arising under or
in connection with this Program or any Common Stock purchased under this
Program.

      (b)   The Property Trustee shall deposit in the Payment Account, promptly
upon receipt, all payments of principal of or interest on, and any other

                            DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

SECTION 4.01 Distributions.

      (a)   Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and will
accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for the payment
of Distributions. Distributions shall accumulate from _______, 2004 and, except
during an Extension Period for the Debentures pursuant to the applicable
Indenture, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September
30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on ______, 2004. In the event that
any date on which Distributions are otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is
not a Business Day, then payment of such Distributions shall be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any additional Distributions
or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business
Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, payment of such Distributions shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (without any reduction in
Distributions in respect of such early payment), in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally payable
(each date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with this Section
4.01 (a) is referred to as a "Distribution Date").

      (b)   Within two Business Days after receipt by the Property Trustee of
notice of an Extension Period pursuant to Section 4.01 of any Indenture, the
Property Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Securityholders in the manner
and to the extent provided in Section 10.07.

      (c)   The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the
Trust Property, and, subject to Sections 4.03 and 4.06 hereof, all Distributions
will be made pro rata on each of the Trust Securities. Distributions on the
Trust Securities shall be payable at a rate of [ ]% per annum of the Liquidation
Preference of the Trust Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for any
full quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, except for any period shorter than a full calendar month, in
which case the amount shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed in such period. During an Extension Period for the Debentures, the
rate per annum at which Distributions on the Trust Securities accumulate shall
be increased by an amount such that the aggregate amount of Distributions that
accumulate on all Trust Securities during any such Extension Period is equal to
the aggregate amount of interest (including interest payable on unpaid interest
at the rate per annum set forth above, compounded quarterly) that accrues during
any such Extension Period on the Debentures.

      (d)   Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made from the Payment
Account by the Property Trustee or any Paying Agent and shall be payable on each
Distribution Date only to

                                       18

<PAGE>

the extent that the Trust has funds then available in the Payment Account for
the payment of such Distributions.

      (e)   Distributions on the Trust Securities on each Distribution Date
shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which, as long as
the Trust Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, shall be one
Business Day prior to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that in the
event that the Trust Preferred Securities are not in book-entry-only form, the
relevant record date shall be the day that is 15 days prior to the relevant
Distribution Date, whether or not a Business Day.

      (f)   If Distributions are not paid when scheduled, such accumulated
Distributions shall be paid to the Holders of record of Trust Securities as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record date as determined
under Section 4.01(e) above with respect to the actual payment date for such
accumulated Distributions.

SECTION 4.02 Redemption.

      (a)   On each Debenture Redemption Date and the Maturity Date of the
Debentures, the Property Trustee 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 Securities Register. All notices of
redemption shall state:

            (1)   the Redemption Date;

            (2)   the Redemption Price;

            (3)   the CUSIP number;

            (4)   the place or places where Trust Securities Certificates are to
      be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

            (5)   that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become
      payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that
      Distributions thereon will cease to accumulate on and after such date; and

            (6)   if less than all of the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be
      redeemed, the identification and total Liquidation Preference of the
      particular Trust Securities to be redeemed.

      (c)   Any notice of redemption may state that such redemption shall be
conditional upon the receipt by the Property Trustee not later than the close of
business on the Business Day next preceding the Redemption Date of moneys
sufficient to pay in full the Redemption Price. If the redemption notice states
that it is conditional and such moneys shall not be so received by the

                                       19

<PAGE>

close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Redemption Date (i)
such notice of redemption shall be of no force and effect, (ii) the Property
Trustee shall not redeem such Trust Securities, and (iii) the Property Trustee
shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given,
that such moneys were not so received and that such redemption did not occur. In
such event, the Property Trustee shall promptly return Trust Securities which it
has received to the registered owners thereof.

      (d)   The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be
redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous
redemption or repayment on the Debenture Redemption Date or the Maturity Date of
the Debentures, as the case may be. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be
made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to
the extent that the Trust has funds then available in the Payment Account for
the payment of such Redemption Price.

      (e)   If the Trust, by action of the Property Trustee, gives a notice of
redemption in respect of any Trust Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon,
New York time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.02(c), the Property
Trustee will, to the extent funds are available therefor, (1) so long as the
Trust Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, deposit irrevocably with
the Depository funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will
give the Depository irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable
Redemption Price to the Holders thereof or (2) if the Trust Preferred Securities
are not in book-entry-only form, deposit irrevocably with the Paying Agent funds
sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable Redemption Price to
the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Trust Preferred Securities
Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior
to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be
payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related
Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds
irrevocably deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all
rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will
cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive the Redemption Price,
but without interest on such Redemption Price, and such Trust Securities will
cease to be Outstanding. In the event that any Redemption Date is not a Business
Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such Redemption Date will
be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any
additional Distributions or other payment in respect of any such delay), except
that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment
will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (without any reduction in
Distributions in respect of such early payment), in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on such Redemption Date. In the event that payment
of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption
is improperly withheld or refused, and not paid either by the Trust or by the
Sponsor pursuant to the Trust Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities
will continue to accumulate, at the then applicable rate, from the Redemption
Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities to the date
such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date
will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption
Price.

                                       20

<PAGE>

      (f)   Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be
made to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the
Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which as long as the Trust
Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, shall be one Business Day
prior to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that in the event that the
Trust Securities are not in book-entry-only form, the relevant record date shall
be the date that is 15 days prior to the Redemption Date.

      (g)   If less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed
on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Preference of Trust
Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (based on
Liquidation Preference) among the Trust Common Securities and the Trust
Preferred Securities. The particular Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Property Trustee from the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities not previously
called for redemption, by lot or by such method as the Property Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of portions (equal to $25 or an integral multiple of $25 in excess thereof) of
the Liquidation Preference of Trust Preferred Securities of a denomination
larger than $25, provided that, in respect of Trust Preferred Securities
registered in the name of and held of record by the Depository or its nominee
(or any successor Depository or its nominee), the distribution of the proceeds
of such redemption will be made in accordance with the procedures applied by
such Depository or nominee. The Trust may not redeem fewer than all of the
Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities unless all accumulated and unpaid
Distributions have been paid on all Trust Preferred Securities for all quarterly
distribution periods terminating on or prior to the Redemption Date. The
Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of
the Trust Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Trust Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation
Preference thereof to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the Trust Securities
represented by a Trust Securities Certificate are redeemed, not less than two
Regular Trustees shall execute for the Holder a new Trust Securities Certificate
representing the unredeemed Trust Securities. For all purposes of this
Declaration of Trust, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Trust Preferred Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Trust Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part,
to the portion of the Liquidation Preference of Trust Preferred Securities which
has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 4.03 Subordination of Trust Common Securities.

      (a)   Payment of Distributions on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust
Securities, as applicable, shall be made pro rata based on the Liquidation
Preference of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any
Distribution Date or Redemption Date, a Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution on, or Redemption
Price of, any Trust Common Security, and no other payment on account of the
redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Trust Common Securities, shall
be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid
Distributions on all Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities for all distribution
periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the
Redemption Price, the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding
Trust Preferred Securities then being redeemed, 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

                                       21

<PAGE>

in cash of all Distributions on, the Redemption Price of, Trust Preferred
Securities then due and payable.

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

SECTION 4.04 Payment Procedures.

      Payments of Distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 in respect of the Trust
Preferred Securities shall be made by check mailed by the Paying Agent to the
address of the Holder thereof as such address shall appear on the Securities
Register or, if the Trust Preferred Securities are held by a Depository or its
nominee, such Distributions shall be made to the Depository by wire transfer in
immediately available funds. Payment of the Redemption Price of or Liquidation
Distribution on the Trust Preferred Securities shall be made in immediately
available funds upon surrender of the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates
representing such Trust Preferred Securities at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Property Trustee or, if the Trust Preferred Securities are held by a
Depository or its nominee, such Redemption Price or Liquidation Distribution
shall be made to the Depository by wire transfer in immediately available funds.
Payments of Distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 in respect of the Trust
Common Securities, and payment of the Redemption Price of or Liquidation Payment
on the Trust Common Securities, shall be made in such manner as shall be
mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holder of the Trust Common
Securities.

SECTION 4.05 Tax Returns and Reports.

      The Regular Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the
Sponsor's expense, and file all Federal, State and local tax and information
returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust. In this
regard, the Regular Trustees shall (i) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared
or filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form required to be filed in
respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the Trust and (ii) prepare and
furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Securityholder the
applicable Internal Revenue Service Form 1099, or any successor form or the
information required to be provided on such form. The Regular Trustees shall

reports and schedules promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Trustees

laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to
Securityholders under the Trust Securities.

SECTION 4.06 Payments under the Indenture.

      Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities
shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder has
directly received pursuant to Section ___ of the Indenture or pursuant to the
Trust Guarantee. Notwithstanding the provisions hereunder to the contrary,
Securityholders acknowledge that any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities that
receives payment under Section ___ of the Indenture may receive amounts greater
than the amount such Holder may be entitled to receive pursuant to the other
provisions of this Declaration of Trust.

SECTION 4.07 Payments of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust.

      Upon receipt under the Debentures of Additional Sums (as defined in the

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

reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Securityholders as of the
most recent record date, in each case to the extent such information is in the
possession or control of the Regular Trustees or the Sponsor and is not
identical to a previously supplied list or has not otherwise been received by
the Property Trustee. The rights of Securityholders to communicate with other
Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Declaration of Trust or
under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights of the Property
Trustee, shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. Each Holder, by
receiving and holding a Trust Securities Certificate, shall be deemed to have
agreed not to hold the Sponsor or the Trustees accountable by reason of the
disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

SECTION 5.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

      The Property Trustee shall maintain in New York, New York, an office or
offices or agency or agencies where Trust Preferred Securities may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates
may be served. The Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the
Sponsor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location of the
Securities Register or any such office or agency, which shall initially be at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Property Trustee.

SECTION 5.09 Appointment of Paying Agent.

      The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Securityholders from the
Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Regular Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the
revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of
making Distributions. The Regular Trustees may revoke such power and remove the
Paying Agent, provided that such revocation and removal with respect to the sole
Paying Agent shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor.
The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee and any co-paying agent
chosen by the Property Trustee and approved by the Regular Trustees and the
Sponsor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as
Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Regular Trustees and the
Sponsor, and, if applicable, the Property Trustee, provided that such
resignation with respect to the sole Paying Agent shall not become effective
until the appointment of a successor. In the event that the Property Trustee
shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or
its authority to act be revoked, the Regular Trustees shall appoint a successor
that is acceptable to the Property Trustee (in the case of any other Paying
Agent) and the Sponsor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust
company and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000). The
Regular Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional
Paying Agent approved by the Regular Trustees to execute and deliver to the
Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying
Agent shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for
payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Securityholders. The
Paying Agent shall return all of such sums remaining unclaimed to the Property
Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return
such sums in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections
7.01, 7.03 and 7.06 shall apply to the Property Trustee also in its role as
Paying Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and,
to the extent applicable, to any other Paying Agent appointed hereunder. Any
reference in this Declaration of Trust to the Paying Agent shall include any
co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 5.10 No Transfer of Trust Common Securities by Sponsor.

      To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the
Trust Common Securities shall be void, except for transfers permitted by Article
__ of the Indenture. The Regular Trustees shall cause each Trust Common
Securities Certificate issued to the Sponsor to contain a legend stating "THIS
CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THE DECLARATION
OF TRUST (AS DEFINED BELOW)". By execution of this Declaration of Trust, the
Sponsor agrees to the foregoing restrictions.

SECTION 5.11 Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates; Trust Common
Securities Certificate.

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

                                       26

<PAGE>

      (b)   The Trust Preferred Securities, upon original issuance on the
Closing Date, will not be engraved but will be issued in the form of one printed
or typewritten Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate, to be
delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by, or on
behalf of, the Trust. Such Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate
shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the initial Depository. No Trust Preferred Securities
Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Trust Preferred Securities
Certificate representing such Trust Preferred Securities Beneficial Owner's
interest in such Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate, except as
provided in Section 5.12. Unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Securities
Certificates have been issued to the Trust Preferred Securities Beneficial
Owners pursuant to Section 5.12:

            (1)   the provisions of this Section 5.11(b) shall be in full force
      and effect;

            (2)   the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the
      Depository for all purposes of this Declaration of Trust (including the
      payment of Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities and receiving
      approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Trust
      Preferred Securities and shall have no obligation to the Trust Preferred
      Securities Beneficial Owners;

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

            (4)   the rights of the Trust Preferred Securities Beneficial Owners
      shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to
      those established by law and agreements between such Trust Preferred
      Securities Beneficial Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository
      Participants and pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement the
      Depository shall receive and transmit payments of Distributions to such
      Depository Participants. The Depository will make book-entry transfers
      among the Depository Participants; provided, that solely for the purposes
      of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount of Trust
      Preferred Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this
      Declaration of Trust, so long as Definitive Trust Preferred Securities
      Certificates have not been issued, the Trustees may conclusively rely on,
      and shall be fully protected in relying on, any written instrument
      (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustees by the Depository setting
      forth the Trust Preferred Securities Beneficial Owners' votes or assigning
      the right to vote on any matter to any other Person either in whole or in
      part.

SECTION 5.12 Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates.

      If (i) the Sponsor advises the Trustees in writing that the Depository is
no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with
respect to the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates or the Depository is no
longer registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, and the Sponsor is unable
to locate a qualified successor within 90 days, (ii) the Sponsor at its option
advises the Trustees in writing that it elects to dissolve the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and
the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation

                                       27

<PAGE>

Preference of Trust Preferred Securities determine to discontinue the system of
book-entry transfers through the Depository by so notifying the Property
Trustee, then the Regular Trustees shall issue Definitive Trust Preferred
Securities Certificates. Upon surrender to the Regular Trustees of the
Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions, the Regular Trustees shall execute and
deliver the Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates pursuant to this
Declaration of Trust in accordance with the instructions of the Depository.
Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. The Definitive Trust Preferred
Securities Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be
produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular
Trustees, as evidenced by the execution thereof by not less than two Regular
Trustees.

SECTION 5.13 Rights of Securityholders.

      The Securityholders shall not have any right or title to the Trust
Property other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust
conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any
partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as
described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the
rights specifically set forth therein and in this Declaration of Trust. The
Trust Preferred Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when
issued and delivered to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities against
payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable
interests in the Trust. The Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, in their
capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

                    ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

SECTION 6.01 Limitations on Voting Rights.

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

      (b)   So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the
Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee or executing any
trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to the Debentures,
(ii) waive any past default which may be waived under Section ____ of the
Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the
principal of the Debentures is due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment,
modification or termination of any of the Indenture, where such consent shall be
required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior consent of the Holders of
at least a Majority in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding

                                       28

<PAGE>

Trust Preferred Securities; provided, however, that where such consent under the
applicable Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Debentures
issued thereunder affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the
Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Outstanding
Trust Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities,
except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities. The
Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of
any notice received from the Debenture Trustee as a result of the Trust being
the holder of the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the consent of the
Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing
actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the Sponsor, obtain an Opinion of
Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be
classified as an association taxable as a corporation or partnership for United
States federal income tax purposes on account of such action and will continue
to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes.

      (c)   Subject to Section 10.02(c) hereof, if any proposed amendment to the
Declaration of Trust provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect,
(i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Trust Preferred Securities, whether by way
of amendment to this Declaration of Trust or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution
or liquidation of the Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this
Declaration of Trust, then the Holders of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities
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 Preference of the Outstanding Trust Preferred
Securities.

SECTION 6.02 Notice of Meetings.

      Notice of all meetings of the Trust Preferred Security Holders, stating
the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.07 to each Trust Preferred Security Holder of
record, at his/her 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 6.03 Meetings of Trust Preferred Security Holders.

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

      (b)   Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Preference of the
Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of Securityholders.

                                       29

<PAGE>

      (c)   If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote of the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding
Trust Preferred Securities present, either in person or by proxy, at such
meeting shall constitute the action of the Securityholders, unless this
Declaration of Trust requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

SECTION 6.04 Voting Rights.

      A Securityholder shall be entitled to one vote for each Trust Security in
respect of any matter as to which such Securityholder is entitled to vote.

SECTION 6.05 Proxies, etc.

      At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholder entitled to vote
thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting
unless it shall have been placed on file with the Regular Trustees, or with such
other officer or agent of the Trust as the Regular 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
Securityholders 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 Securityholder shall be deemed valid unless
challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity
shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years
after its date of execution.

SECTION 6.06 Securityholder Action by Written Consent.

      Any action which may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be taken
without prior notice and a meeting if Holders of the proportion of the
Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities required to approve such action shall
consent to the action in writing. Prompt notice of the taking of any action by
written consent shall be provided to the Holders who did not consent to the
taking of such action.

SECTION 6.07 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

      For the purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to
notice of and to vote at any meeting or who are entitled to vote by written
consent, or for the purpose of any other action, the Regular Trustees may from
time to time fix as a record date for the determination of the identity of the
Securityholders for such purposes, (i) in the case of a meeting, a date not more
than 90 days prior to the date of the meeting of Securityholders, or (ii) in the
case of a written consent, a date that shall not precede the date upon which the
action fixing the record date is adopted by the Regular Trustees and which date
shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the action fixing the
record date is adopted by the Regular Trustees.

SECTION 6.08 Acts of Securityholders.

      (a)   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Declaration of Trust to be
given, made or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one
or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Regular Trustees. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Securityholders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Declaration of Trust and (subject to Section 7.02) conclusive,
if made in the manner provided in this Section 6.08.

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

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

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

      (e)   Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled hereunder
to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do
so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Preference 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
Preference.

      (f)   If any dispute shall arise between the Securityholders and the
Regular Trustees or among such Securityholders or Trustees with respect to the
authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization,
direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Securityholder or Trustee under
this Article 6, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee
shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

SECTION 6.09 Inspection of Records.

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

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                  THE TRUSTEES

SECTION 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

      (a)   The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided
by this Declaration of Trust and, in the case of the Property Trustee, also by
the Trust Indenture Act. The Property Trustee, other than during the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default, undertakes to perform only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Declaration of Trust and, upon an Event of
Default, must exercise the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person
would exercise or use in the conduct of his/her own affairs. The Trustees shall
have all the privileges, rights and immunities provided by the Delaware
Statutory Trust Act.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Declaration of Trust
shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur
any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or
in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Declaration Trust relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01. No Indemnified Person
shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust
or any employee or agent of the Trust or its Affiliates for any loss, damage or
claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such
Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such
Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority
conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration of Trust or by law,
except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or
claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's gross negligence (but, in
the case of the Property Trustee, nothing in this Declaration of Trust shall be
construed to release the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent
action or its own negligent failure to act) or willful misconduct with respect
to such acts or omissions. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Regular
Trustees have duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating
thereto to the Trust or to the Securityholders, the Regular Trustees shall not
be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for the Regular Trustees' good
faith reliance on the provisions of this Declaration of Trust. The provisions of
this Declaration of Trust, to the extent that they restrict the duties and
liabilities of the Regular Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are
agreed by the Sponsoror and the Securityholders to replace such other duties and
liabilities of the Regular Trustees.

      (b)   All payments made by the Property Trustee or any other Paying Agent
in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the income and
proceeds from the Trust Property. Each Securityholder, by its acceptance of a
Trust Security, agrees that (i) it will look solely to the

                                       32

<PAGE>

income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent available for
distribution to it as herein provided and (ii) the Trustees are not personally
liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or
for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 7.01(b)
does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in
this Declaration of Trust or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust
Indenture Act.

SECTION 7.02 Notice of Defaults; Direct Action by Securityholders.

      Within 90 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 10.07, notice of such Event of Default to the
Securityholders, the Regular Trustees and the Sponsor, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived. If the Property Trustee has failed to
enforce its rights under this Declaration of Trust or the Indenture, any
Securityholder may to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the
terms of this Declaration of Trust and the Indenture institute a legal
proceeding directly against any Person to enforce the Property Trustee's rights
under this Declaration of Trust or the applicable Indenture with respect to
Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation
Preference of the Trust Preferred Securities of such Securityholder without
first instituting a legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other
Person. To the extent that any action under the Indenture is entitled to be
taken by the holders of at least a specified percentage of the principal amount
of the outstanding Debentures, Holders of at least the same percentage of the
Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, also take such action in the name of the Trust
if such action has not been taken by the Property Trustee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Debenture Event of Default relating to the Sponsor's failure to
pay the principal of or interest on the Debentures has occurred and is
continuing thereby resulting in an Event of Default hereunder, then each Holder
of Trust Preferred Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against
the Sponsor for enforcement of payment to such Holder of interest on or
principal of the Debentures equal to the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the
Trust Preferred Securities of such Holder, as provided in Section ___ of the
Indenture.

SECTION 7.03 Certain Rights of Property Trustee.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01:

      (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, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, (i) in performing its duties under this Declaration of Trust, the
Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action or
(ii) in construing any of the provisions in this Declaration of Trust, 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

                                       33

<PAGE>

provision of this Declaration of Trust, then, except as to any matter as to
which the Trust Preferred Security Holders are entitled to vote under the terms
of this Declaration of Trust, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the
Sponsor requesting written instructions of the Sponsor as to the course of
action to be taken. 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 Sponsor; provided, however, that if the
Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Sponsor 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 five Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to,
take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Declaration
of Trust as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Securityholders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability
except for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct;

      (c)   the Property Trustee may consult with counsel or other experts of
its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel or other experts with
respect to legal matters or advice within the scope of such experts' area of
expertise 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;

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

      (e)   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, direction, consent, order,
approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper
or document, but the Property Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit; and

      (f)   the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its
agents or attorneys and the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due
care by it hereunder.

SECTION 7.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

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

SECTION 7.05 May Hold Securities.

      Any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust
Securities and, subject to Sections 7.08 and

                                       34

<PAGE>

7.13 and, except as provided in the definition of the term "Outstanding" in
Article 1, may otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it would have
if it were not a Trustee or such other agent.

SECTION 7.06 Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.

      The Sponsor agrees:

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

      (b)   except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this
Declaration of Trust (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to its own grossly negligent action, its own
grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct (or, in the case
of the Property Trustee, any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its
own willful misconduct); and

      (c)   to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and
hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any loss, damage or claim
incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of any act or omission performed
or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and
in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope
of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by the Declaration of Trust,
except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect
of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of
gross negligence or willful misconduct (or, in the case of the Property Trustee,
negligence or willful misconduct) with respect to such acts or omissions. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Trust shall advance, from time
to time, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding prior to the final
disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by
the Trust of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay
such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Person is not
entitled to be indemnified for the underlying cause of action as authorized by
this Declaration of Trust. No Trustee may claim any Lien or charge on any Trust
Property as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.06. The
provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive the termination of this
Declaration of Trust.

      When the Property Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with a Debenture Event of Default relating to certain bankruptcy
events, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its
counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law.

Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, 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.

      (b)   There shall at all times be two or more Regular Trustees hereunder.
Each Regular Trustee shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years

of Trust.

SECTION 7.09 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

      (a)   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 Sponsor and the Regular Trustees shall
have the power (i) to appoint, and upon the written request of the Regular
Trustees the Sponsor shall for such purpose join with the Regular 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 cotrustee, 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 Trust Property, in either case with such powers as
may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and (ii) 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
7.09(a). If the Sponsor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after

<PAGE>

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

      (b)   Should any written instrument from the Sponsor 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 Sponsor.

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

            (1)   The Trust Securities shall be executed and delivered and all
      rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the
      custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or
      required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustees specified

      co-trustee or separate trustee.

            (2)   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 cotrustee
      or separate trustee.

            (3)   The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing
      executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Sponsor, may accept
      the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed
      under this Section 7.09, 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 Sponsor. Upon the written request
      of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor shall join with the Property Trustee
      in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and
      agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal.
      A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed
      may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 7.09.

            (4)   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.

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

            (6)   Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be

      trustee.

SECTION 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

      (a)   No resignation or removal of any Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 7.11.

      (b)   Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, any Trustee may
resign at any time with respect to the Trust Securities by giving written notice
thereof to the Securityholders.

      (c)   Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
any Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holder of the Trust Common
Securities. If an 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 only by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
Preference of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, delivered to such
Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). The Regular
Trustees may only be removed by the Holder of Trust Common Securities at any
time.

      (d)   If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Trustee required by
Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Trustee may petition,
at the expense of the Sponsor, any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

      (e)   If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for
any cause, at a time when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Holder of Trust Common Securities, by Act of the Holder of Trust
Common Securities delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee or Trustees and the Trust and the retiring Trustee shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. 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 an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Holders of Trust Preferred Securities, by Act of the Securityholders of at least
a Majority in Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Trust Preferred
Securities delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 7.11. If any Regular Trustee shall resign, be removed or
become incapable of acting as an Regular Trustee at a time when an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of Trust Common
Securities shall appoint a successor Regular Trustee. If no successor Trustee
shall have been so appointed by the Holder of Trust Common Securities or the
Holders of Trust Preferred Securities and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 7.11, any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder 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 Trustee.

      (f)   The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 10.07 and shall give notice to
the Sponsor. Each notice shall include the

                                       38

<PAGE>

name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if
it is the Property Trustee.

      (g)   Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Declaration of Trust, in the event any Regular Trustee or Delaware Trustee who
is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Sponsor, incompetent
or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity
may be filled by (i) the unanimous act of the remaining Regular Trustees if
there are at least two of them or (ii) otherwise by the Sponsor (with the
successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirements
for an Regular Trustee or for the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set
forth in Section 7.07).

SECTION 7.11  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

      (a)   In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
Trust and the retiring Trustee an amendment hereto wherein each successor
Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee and (ii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Declaration of Trust as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such
Trustees as cotrustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be
trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or
trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and upon the execution
and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
and the Trust; but, on request of the Trust or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

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

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

SECTION 7.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

      Any Person into which any of the Trustees 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 Trustee
shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee
hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under
this

                                       39

Article 7, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto.

SECTION 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Sponsor or Trust.

become a creditor (whether directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured) of the
Sponsor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the Debentures or the Trust
Securities), including under the terms of Section 7.05 hereof, the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be subject to and
shall take all actions necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Sponsor or
Trust (or any such other obligor).

SECTION 7.14 Reports by Property Trustee.

      (a)   The Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports
concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Declaration of Trust
as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the
manner provided pursuant thereto. If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall, within 60 days after each May 31
following the date of this Declaration of Trust deliver to Holders a brief
report, dated as of such May 31, which complies with the provisions of such
Section 313(a).

      (b)   A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission
to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with each stock exchange upon which
any Trust Preferred Securities are then listed, with the Commission and with the
Trust. The Trust will promptly notify the Property Trustee when any Trust
Preferred Securities are listed on any stock exchange.

SECTION 7.15 Reports to the Property Trustee.

      The Sponsor and the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide
to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as required by
Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the compliance certificate
required by Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form, in the manner
and at the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. Delivery of
such reports, information and documents to the Property Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Property Trustee's receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, including
the Sponsor's or the Trust's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as
to which the Property Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer's
Certificates).

SECTION 7.16 Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.

      The Sponsor and the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide
to the Property Trustee evidence of compliance with the conditions precedent, if

Counsel.

accordance with Section 7.10.

      (c)   The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of an Regular Trustee shall not
operate to annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust. Whenever a vacancy shall
occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Regular Trustee in
accordance with Section 7.10, the Regular Trustee or Trustees in office,
regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Declaration of Trust), shall have all the powers granted to the Regular Trustees
and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Regular Trustees by this

<PAGE>

      (b)   The Regular Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time
to such of their number, if there is more than one Regular Trustee, or to the
Sponsor the doing of such things and the execution of such instruments either in

                           DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

SECTION 8.01 Dissolution Upon Expiration Date.

      Unless earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on
December 31, ____ (the "Expiration Date"), following the distribution of the
Trust Property in accordance with Section 8.04.

SECTION 8.02 Early Dissolution.

      The earliest to occur of any of the following events is an "Early
Dissolution Event":

      (a)   the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the
dissolution or liquidation of, the Sponsor;

      (b)   upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities, the delivery of written direction to the Property Trustee
by the Sponsor (which direction is wholly optional and within the discretion of
the Sponsor) to dissolve the Trust and cause the distribution of a Like Amount
of Distributable Debentures to the Securityholders in exchange for the Trust
Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 8.04;

      (c)   the redemption of all of the Trust Securities; and

      (d)   an order for dissolution or liquidation of the Trust shall have been
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 8.03 Termination of Obligations.

      The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the
Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of
the following: (i) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Securityholders
upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 8.04, or upon the
redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.02, of all
amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of the Trust
Securities; (ii) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust; and (iii) the
discharge of all administrative

<PAGE>

duties of the Regular Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting
obligations with respect to the Trust or the Securityholders.

SECTION 8.04 Dissolution and Liquidation.

      (a)   If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of
Section 8.02 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated
by the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee as expeditiously as they
determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a
Like Amount of Distributable Debentures, subject to Sections 2.05(b) and
8.04(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such
Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of
liquidation shall:

            (1)   state the Liquidation Date;

            (2)   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 the right to receive a Like Amount of Distributable Debentures,
      as the case may be; and

            (3)   provide such information with respect to the mechanics by
      which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for certificates
      evidencing Distributable Debentures, or, if Section 8.04(d) applies,
      receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Regular Trustees or the
      Property Trustee shall deem appropriate.

      (b)   In order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of
the Distributable Debentures to Securityholders, the Property Trustee shall
establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be one Business Day
prior to the Liquidation Date; provided, however, that in the event that the
Trust Preferred Securities are not in book-entry-only form, such record date
shall be the date that is 15 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and either
itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate
exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to
effect the distribution of such Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust
Securities Certificates.

      (c)   Except where Section 8.02(c) or 8.02(d) applies, on or after the
Liquidation Date (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of the Distributable
Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon
surrender of such certificates to the Regular Trustees or their agent for
exchange, (iii) the Sponsor shall use its best efforts to have the Distributable
Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or such other exchange as the
Trust Preferred Securities are then listed and shall take any reasonable action
necessary to effect the distribution of such Distributable Debentures, (iv) any
Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to
represent a Like Amount of Distributable Debentures, accruing interest at the
rate provided for in the Distributable Debentures from the last Distribution
Date on which a Distribution was made on such Trust Certificates until such
certificates are so surrendered (and

                                       43

<PAGE>

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

      (d)   In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 8.04, whether because of the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect
of the Sponsor, an order for termination entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Distributable Debentures in the
manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practicable, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be
terminated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee
determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution of the Trust,
Securityholders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust
available for distribution to Securityholders, after satisfaction of liabilities
to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to $25
per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date
of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such
termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the
Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable
by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based
upon Liquidation Preferences). The Holder of the Trust Common Securities will be
entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such termination pro rata
(determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Trust Preferred Securities, except
that, if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trust
Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Trust Common Securities, and
no Liquidation Distribution will be paid to the Holders of the Trust Common
Securities unless and until receipt by all Holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities of the entire Liquidation Distribution payable in respect thereof.

convert, amalgamate, be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties
and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a trust organized
as such under the laws of any state; provided, that (i) such successor entity
either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust with respect to
the Trust Preferred Securities or (b) substitutes for the Trust Preferred
Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Trust
Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") so long as the Successor
Securities rank the same as the Trust Preferred Securities rank with respect to
the payment of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and
otherwise, (ii) the Sponsor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor
entity possessing the

                                       44

same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures,
(iii) the Successor Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be
listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or
other organization on which the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed, if
any, (iv) such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Trust Preferred Securities
(including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally
recognized statistical rating organization, (v) such merger, consolidation,
conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not
adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the
Trust Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
respect, (vi) such successor entity has a purpose substantially similar to that
of the Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, conversion,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Sponsor has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger,
consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the
Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities)
in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation,
conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance transfer or lease, neither the
Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an investment
company under the 1940 Act and (viii) the Sponsor or any permitted successor or
assignee 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 Trust Guarantee and this
Declaration of Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except
with the consent of all Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, merge with or
into, consolidate, convert, amalgamate, be replaced by or convey, transfer or
lease its properties and assets as an entirety or 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, conversion,
amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the
Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 10.01 Limitation of Rights of Securityholders.

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

SECTION 10.02 Amendment.

      (a)   This Declaration of Trust may be amended from time to time by the

                                       45

<PAGE>

any other provision, or to include any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under this Declaration of Trust that shall not be
inconsistent with the other provisions of this Declaration of Trust, or (ii) to
modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Declaration Trust to such
extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Trust will be classified for
United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust at all times that
any Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities are Outstanding, to
ensure that the Debentures will be treated as indebtedness of the Companies or
to ensure that the Trust will not be required to register as an investment
company under the 1940 Act; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i)
above, such action shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of
any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities or Trust Common Securities. Any
amendments of this Declaration of Trust pursuant to this Section 10.02(a) shall
become effective when notice thereof is given to the Securityholders.

      (b)   Except as provided in Section 10.02(a) and 10.02(c) hereof, any
provision of this Declaration of Trust may be amended by the Regular Trustees

Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities.

      (c)   In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
Declaration of Trust, without the consent of each affected Securityholder, this
Declaration of Trust may not be amended to (i) change the amount, timing or
currency of any Distribution or Liquidation Distribution on the Trust Securities
or otherwise adversely affect the method of payment of any Distribution or
Liquidation Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities
as of a specified date; (ii) change the redemption provisions of the Trust
Securities; (iii) restrict the right of a Securityholder to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment contemplated in (i) or (ii) above on or
after the related payment date; (iv) modify the first sentence of Section 2.06
hereof, (v) authorize or issue any beneficial interest in the Trust other than
as contemplated by this Declaration of Trust as of the date hereof; (vi) change
the conditions precedent for the Sponsor to elect to dissolve the Trust and
distribute the Distributable Debentures to Holders of Trust Preferred Securities
as set forth in Section 8.02; or (vii) affect the limited liability of any
Holder of Trust Preferred Securities, and, notwithstanding any other provision
herein, without the unanimous consent of the Securityholders, paragraphs (b) and
(c) of this Section 10.02 may not be amended.

      (d)   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Declaration of Trust,
no amendment to this Declaration of Trust shall be made without receipt by the
Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that
such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Trustees in
accordance with such amendments will not affect the Trust's status as a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes or its exemption from
regulation as an "investment company" under the 1940 Act.

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

      (f)   In the event that any amendment to this Declaration of Trust is
made, the Regular Trustees shall promptly provide to the Sponsor a copy of such
amendment.

      This Trust Preferred Security is a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities
Certificate within the meaning of the Declaration of Trust hereinafter referred
to and is registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the

      Unless this Trust Preferred Security is presented by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (55 Water
Street, New York) to AWNA Trust or its agent for registration of transfer,
exchange or payment, and any Trust Preferred Security issued is registered in
the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company and any payment hereon is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company, 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.

      Holders of Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to receive
cumulative cash distributions at a rate per annum of [ ]% of the stated
liquidation preference of $25 per Trust Preferred Security. Distributions on the
Trust Preferred Securities shall, from the date of original issue, accumulate
and be cumulative and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on _______, 2004.
Amounts available to the Trust for distribution to the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities will be limited to payments received by the Trust on the
Debentures. Distributions not paid on the scheduled payment date will accumulate
and compound quarterly (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the rate
of [ ]% per annum.

      The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for
any full quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, except for any period shorter than a full calendar month, in
which case the amount shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed in such period. If the Trust Preferred Securities are in book-entry
only form, Distributions will be payable to the holders of record of the Trust
Preferred Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the
Business Day prior to the relevant payment dates. If the Trust Preferred
Securities are not in book-entry only form, the relevant record date shall be
the date which is 15 days prior to the relevant payment date, whether or not a
Business Day. If Distributions are not paid when scheduled, the accumulated
Distributions shall be paid to the holders of record of the Trust Preferred
Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant
record date as determined under the Declaration of Trust with respect to the
actual payment date for such Distributions. In the event that any date on which
a Distribution is payable is not a Business Day, payment of such Distribution
shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (without any
additional Distributions or other payment in respect of any such delay) except
that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (without any
reduction of Distributions or other payments in respect of such early payment),
in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment
was originally payable.

      The Trust Preferred Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration of Trust.

      Unless otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise
requires, capitalized terms or phrases used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning or meanings assigned to such terms or phrases in
the Declaration of Trust.
