conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the Trust

                                       13

the Trust will not fail to be classified as a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes (in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer); and (iii) the Trust will not take
any action inconsistent with the treatment of the Debentures as indebtedness of
the Debenture Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes (in the case

Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities are
authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable laws or this
Declaration, as amended from time to time, that each of the Institutional
Trustee, the Administrators and such Holders determine in their discretion to be
necessary or desirable for such purposes, even if such action adversely affects
the interests of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

          (e) All expenses incurred by the Administrators or the Trustees
pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be reimbursed by the Sponsor, and the
Trustees shall have no obligations with respect to such expenses.

proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Declaration and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Institutional Trustee or to such Holder, then and in
every such case the Sponsor, the Institutional Trustee and the Holders shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Institutional Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.

     (i) direct the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power
     conferred upon the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii)
     waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercise
     any right to rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all the
     Debentures shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment,
     modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures where such
     consent shall be required unless the Trust shall have received a written
     opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such
     amendment, modification or termination will not cause the Trust to cease to
     be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
     purposes.

          Section 2.8. Powers and Duties of the Institutional Trustee.

          (a) The legal title to the Debentures shall be owned by and held of
record in the name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Trust. The right, title and interest of the Institutional Trustee to the
Debentures shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be
appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 4.7. Such vesting
and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
with regard to the Debentures have been executed and delivered.

          (b) The Institutional Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and
interest in the Debentures to the Administrators or to the Delaware Trustee.

          (c) The Institutional Trustee shall:

               (i) establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing
          trust account (the "Property Account") in the United States (as
          defined in Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7), in the name of
          and under the exclusive control of the Institutional Trustee, and
          maintained in the Institutional Trustee's trust department, on behalf
          of the Holders of the Securities and, upon the receipt of payments of
          funds made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional
          Trustee, deposit such funds into the Property Account and make
          payments to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders of the
          Common Securities from the Property Account in accordance with Section
          5.1. Funds in the Property Account shall be held uninvested until
          disbursed in accordance with this Declaration;

                                       15

<PAGE>

               (ii) engage in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary
          or appropriate to effect the redemption of the Capital Securities and
          the Common Securities to the extent the Debentures are redeemed or
          mature; and

               (iii) upon written notice of distribution issued by the
          Administrators in accordance with the terms of the Securities, engage
          in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to
          effect the distribution of the Debentures to Holders of Securities
          upon the occurrence of certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of
          the Securities.

          (d) The Institutional Trustee shall take all actions and perform such
duties as may be specifically required of the Institutional Trustee pursuant to
the terms of the Securities.

          (e) The Institutional Trustee may bring or defend, pay, collect,
compromise, arbitrate, resort to legal action with respect to, or otherwise
adjust claims or demands of or against, the Trust (a "Legal Action") which arise
out of or in connection with an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer
of the Institutional Trustee has actual knowledge or the Institutional Trustee's
duties and obligations under this Declaration or the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay
interest or premium, if any, or principal on the Debentures on the date such
interest or premium, if any, or principal is otherwise payable (or in the case
of redemption, on the redemption date), then a Holder of the Capital Securities
may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such Holder of
the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures having a
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities of such Holder (a "Direct Action") on or after the respective due
date specified in the Debentures. In connection with such Direct Action, the
rights of the Holders of the Common Securities will be subrogated to the rights
of such Holder of the Capital Securities to the extent of any payment made by
the Debenture Issuer to such Holder of the Capital Securities in such Direct
Action; provided, however, that a Holder of the Common Securities may exercise
such right of subrogation only if no Event of Default with respect to the
Capital Securities has occurred and is continuing.

          (f) The Institutional Trustee shall continue to serve as a Trustee
until either:

               (i) the Trust has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of
          the liquidation distributed to the Holders of the Securities pursuant
          to the terms of the Securities and this Declaration (including Annex
          I); or

               (ii) a Successor Institutional Trustee has been appointed and has
          accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 4.7.

          (g) The Institutional Trustee shall have the legal power to exercise
all of the rights, powers and privileges of a holder of the Debentures under the
Indenture and, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Institutional Trustee may, for the benefit of Holders of the Securities, enforce
its rights as holder of the Debentures subject to the rights of the Holders
pursuant to this Declaration (including Annex I) and the terms of the
Securities.

                                       16

<PAGE>

          (h) The Institutional Trustee must exercise the powers set forth in
this Section 2.8 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes and functions
of the Trust set out in Section 2.3, and the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the
Trust set out in Section 2.3.

          Section 2.9. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees and
the Administrators.

          (a) The Institutional Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of
Default (of which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in
Section 2.10(m) hereof)) and after the curing of all Events of Default that may
have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Declaration and no implied covenants shall be read into this
Declaration against the Institutional Trustee. In case an Event of Default (of
which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 2.10(m)
hereof)), has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section
6.7), the Institutional Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

          (c) All payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent
in respect of the Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient
revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Institutional Trustee
or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each
Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, agrees that it will look solely to the
revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for

                                       17

<PAGE>

distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees and the
Administrators are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable in
respect of any Security or for any other liability in respect of any Security.
This Section 2.9(c) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set
forth elsewhere in this Declaration or, in the case of the Institutional
Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

          (d) No provision of this Declaration shall be construed to relieve the
Institutional Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct with respect to matters
that are within the authority of the Institutional Trustee under this
Declaration, except that:

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

               (ii) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable with respect
          to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
          accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a
          Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities or the Common
          Securities, as applicable, relating to the time, method and place of
          conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
          Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
          the Institutional Trustee under this Declaration;

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

               (iv) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any
          interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree
          in writing with the Sponsor; and money held by the Institutional
          Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in
          relation to the Property Account maintained by the Institutional
          Trustee pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i) and except to the extent
          otherwise required by law; and

               (v) the Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for
          monitoring the compliance by the Administrators or the Sponsor with
          their respective duties under this Declaration, nor shall the
          Institutional Trustee be liable for any default or misconduct of the
          Administrators or the Sponsor.

          Section 2.10. Certain Rights of Institutional Trustee. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.9:

                                       18

<PAGE>

          (a) the Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and shall fully be
protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution,
written opinion of counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or
transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, 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, sent or
presented by the proper party or parties;

          (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Declaration, the
Institutional Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of
action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Declaration, the
Institutional Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other
provisions contained herein, or (iii) the Institutional Trustee is unsure of the
application of any provision of this Declaration, then, except as to any matter
as to which the Holders of Capital Securities are entitled to vote under the
terms of this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee may deliver a notice to the
Sponsor requesting the Sponsor's opinion as to the course of action to be taken
and the Institutional Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Institutional Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the
Institutional Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence or
willful misconduct;

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

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

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

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

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

                                       19

<PAGE>

nothing contained in this Section 2.10(g) shall be taken to relieve the
Institutional Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (of which the
Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 2.10(m) hereof))
that has not been cured or waived, of its obligation to exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by this Declaration;

          (h) the Institutional Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper
or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but
the Institutional Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit;

          (i) the Institutional 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 Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for
any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such
agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

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

          (k) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Declaration, the
Institutional Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that
is discretionary under the provisions of this Declaration;

          (l) when the Institutional Trustee incurs expenses or renders services
in connection with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses (including the fees and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating
to creditors rights generally;

          (m) the Institutional Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of
an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee
has actual knowledge of such event or the Institutional Trustee receives written
notice of such event from any Holder, except with respect to an Event of Default
pursuant to Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.01(c) of the Indenture (other than an
Event of Default resulting from the default in the payment of Additional
Interest or premium, if any, if the Institutional Trustee does not have actual
knowledge or written notice that such payment is due and payable), of which the
Institutional Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge;

                                       20

<PAGE>

          (n) any action taken by the Institutional Trustee or its agents
hereunder shall bind the Trust and the Holders of the Securities, and the
signature of the Institutional Trustee or its agents alone shall be sufficient
and effective to perform any such action and no third party shall be required to
inquire as to the authority of the Institutional Trustee to so act or as to its
compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Declaration, both of
which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Institutional Trustee's or its
agent's taking such action; and

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

          Section 2.11. Delaware Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Declaration other than Section 4.2, the Delaware Trustee shall not be
entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the
duties and responsibilities of any of the Trustees or the Administrators

Trust Act). Except as set forth in Section 4.2, the Delaware Trustee shall be a
Trustee for the sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the requirements
of Section 3807 of the Statutory Trust Act.

          Section 2.12. Execution of Documents. Unless otherwise determined in
writing by the Institutional Trustee, and except as otherwise required by the
Statutory Trust Act, the Institutional Trustee, or any one or more of the
Administrators, as the case may be, is authorized to execute and deliver on
behalf of the Trust any documents, agreements, instruments or certificates that
the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be, have the power and
authority to execute pursuant to Section 2.6.

          Section 2.13. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
The recitals contained in this Declaration and the Securities shall be taken as
the statements of the Sponsor, and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility
for their correctness. The Trustees make no representations as to the value or
condition of the property of the Trust or any part thereof. The Trustees make no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Declaration, the
Debentures or the Securities.

          Section 2.14. Duration of Trust. The Trust, unless dissolved pursuant
to the provisions of Article VII hereof, shall have existence for five (5) years

          Section 2.15. Mergers. (a) The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate,
merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other
Person, except as described in this Section 2.15 and except with respect to the
distribution of Debentures to Holders of Securities pursuant to Section

                                       21

<PAGE>

          (b) The Trust may, with the consent of the Administrators (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and without the consent of the
Institutional Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Holders of the Capital
Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or 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) if the Trust is not the survivor, such successor entity (the
          "Successor Entity") either:

                    (A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust
               under the Securities; or

                    (B) substitutes for the Securities other securities having
               substantially the same terms as the Securities (the "Successor
               Securities") so that the Successor Securities rank the same as
               the Securities rank with respect to Distributions and payments
               upon Liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

               (ii) the Sponsor expressly appoints, as the holder of the
          Debentures, a trustee of the Successor Entity that possesses the same
          powers and duties as the Institutional Trustee;

               (iii) the Capital Securities or any Successor Securities
          (excluding any securities substituted for the Common Securities) are
          listed or quoted, or any Successor Securities will be listed or quoted
          upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or
          with another organization on which the Capital Securities are then
          listed or quoted, if any;

               (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
          conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the rating on the Capital
          Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded or
          withdrawn by any nationally recognized statistical rating
          organization, if the Capital Securities are then rated;

               (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
          conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights,
          preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including
          any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with
          respect to any dilution of such Holders' interests in the Successor
          Entity as a result of such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or
          replacement);

               (vi) such Successor Entity has a purpose substantially identical
          to that of the Trust;

               (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
          replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust has received a
          written opinion of a

                                       22

<PAGE>

          nationally recognized independent counsel to the Trust experienced in
          such matters to the effect that:

                    (A) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
               conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the
               rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the
               Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
               respect (other than with respect to any dilution of the Holders'
               interests in the Successor Entity);

                    (B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
               replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor
               the Successor Entity will be required to register as an
               Investment Company; and

                    (C) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
               replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust (or the
               Successor Entity) will continue to be classified as a grantor
               trust for United States federal income tax purposes;

               (viii) the Sponsor guarantees the obligations of such Successor
          Entity under the Successor Securities to the same extent provided by
          the Indenture, the Guarantee, the Debentures and this Declaration; and

               (ix) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
          replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Institutional Trustee
          shall have received an Officers' Certificate of the Administrators and
          an opinion of counsel, each to the effect that all conditions
          precedent of this paragraph (b) to such transaction have been
          satisfied.

          (c) Notwithstanding Section 2.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with
the consent of Holders of 100% in liquidation amount of the Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to, any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the
Trust or Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                     SPONSOR

          Section 3.1. Sponsor's Purchase of Common Securities. On the Closing
Date, the Sponsor will purchase all of the Common Securities issued by the
Trust, in an amount at least equal to 3% of the capital of the Trust, at the
same time as the Capital Securities are sold.

                                       25

<PAGE>

          (a) No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee")
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.7.

          (b) Subject to Section 4.7(a), a Relevant Trustee may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities and by
appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. Upon the resignation of the
Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall appoint a successor by
requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements
their expenses and charges to serve as the successor Institutional Trustee on a
form provided by the Administrators, and selecting the Person who agrees to the
lowest expense and charges (the "Successor Institutional Trustee"). If the
instrument of acceptance by the successor Relevant Trustee required by this
Section 4.7 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days
after the giving of such notice of resignation or delivery of the instrument of
removal, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Trust, any
federal, State or District of Columbia court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after
prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a Relevant
Trustee. The Institutional Trustee shall have no liability for the selection of
such successor pursuant to this Section 4.7.

          (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
any Trustee may be removed at any time by an act of the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities. If any Trustee shall be so removed,
the Holders of the Common Securities, by act of the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee,
shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee, and such successor Trustee
shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.7. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Institutional Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed by the act of the Holders
of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, delivered to the
Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). If any
Trustee shall be so removed, the Holders of Capital Securities, by act of the
Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then
outstanding delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a
successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply
with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.7. If no successor Relevant
Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of a Majority in liquidation
amount of the Capital Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required
by this Section 4.7 within 30 days after delivery of an instrument of removal,
the Relevant Trustee or any Holder who has been a Holder of the Securities for
at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any federal, State or District of Columbia court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may
thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint
a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees.

          (d) The Institutional Trustee shall give notice of each resignation
and each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Holders and to the Sponsor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the
Institutional Trustee.

                                       26

<PAGE>

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Declaration, in the event a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or is
adjudged by a court to have become incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy
created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the
Institutional Trustee following the procedures in this Section 4.7 (with the
successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for a
Delaware Trustee set forth in this Declaration) (the "Successor Delaware
Trustee").

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

          (g) No Institutional Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall be liable for
the acts or omissions to act of any Successor Institutional Trustee or Successor
Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.

          (h) The Holders of the Capital Securities will have no right to vote
to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights are vested
exclusively in the Holders of the Common Securities.

          (i) Any successor Delaware Trustee shall file an amendment to the
Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
identifying the name and principal place of business of such Delaware Trustee in
the State of Delaware.

          Section 4.8. Vacancies Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold
office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
Section 4.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 4.1,
a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by
the Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Trustees shall be
conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be
filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 4.7.

                                       27

<PAGE>

          Section 4.9. Effect of Vacancies. The death, resignation, retirement,
removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to
perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to dissolve, terminate or
annul the Trust or terminate this Declaration. Whenever a vacancy in the number
of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a
Trustee in accordance with Section 4.7, the Institutional Trustee shall have all
the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed
upon the Trustees by this Declaration.

          Section 4.10. Meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators.
Meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be held from time to time
upon the call of any Trustee or Administrator, as applicable. Regular meetings
of the Trustees and the Administrators, respectively, may be in person in the
United States or by telephone, at a place (if applicable) and time fixed by
resolution of the Trustees or the Administrators, as applicable. Notice of any
in-person meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be hand delivered
or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by
overnight courier) not less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any
telephonic meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators or any committee
thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by
facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours before
a meeting. Notices shall contain a brief statement of the time, place and
anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person or by
telephone) of a Trustee or an Administrator, as the case may be, at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee or an
Administrator, as the case may be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has
not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this
Declaration, any action of the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may
be, may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees or the
Administrators present (whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote
with respect to such matter; provided, that, in the case of the Administrators,
a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of
the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be. Meetings of the Trustees
and the Administrators together shall be held from time to time upon the call of
any Trustee or Administrator.

          Section 4.11. Delegation of Power. (a) Any Trustee or any
Administrator, as the case may be, may, by power of attorney consistent with
applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 that is
a U.S. Person his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents,
instruments or other writings contemplated in Section 2.6.

          (b) The Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time to
such of their number or to any officer of the Trust that is a U.S. Person, the
doing of such things and the execution of such instruments or other writings
either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Trustees or otherwise as the
Trustees may deem expedient, to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by
applicable law or contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein.

          Section 4.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any Person into which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, may be merged or converted or with which either may
be consolidated, or any Person resulting

                                       28

<PAGE>

from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Institutional Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the
Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the
successor of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided such Person shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article and, provided, further, that
such Person shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as contemplated in Section 4.7(i).

                                    ARTICLE V

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

          Section 5.1. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions in
accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's Securities.
Distributions shall be made on the Capital Securities and the Common Securities
in accordance with the preferences set forth in their respective terms. If and
to the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment of interest (including
any Additional Interest or Deferred Interest) or premium, if any, on and/or
principal on the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee (the amount of any
such payment being a "Payment Amount"), the Institutional Trustee shall and is
directed, to the extent funds are available in the Property Account for that
purpose, to make a distribution (a "Distribution") of the Payment Amount to
Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, funds in the Property Account shall not be
distributed to Holders to the extent of any taxes payable by the Trust, in the
case of withholding taxes, as determined by the Institutional Trustee or any
Paying Agent and, in the case of taxes other than withholding taxes, as
determined by the Administrators in a written notice to the Institutional
Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

          Section 6.1. General Provisions Regarding Securities.

          (a) The Administrators shall on behalf of the Trust issue one series
of capital securities, evidenced by a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-1, representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the
Trust and having such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the "Capital
Securities"), and one series of common securities, evidenced by a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, representing undivided beneficial
interests in the assets of the Trust and having such terms as are set forth in
Annex I (the "Common Securities"). The Trust shall issue no securities or other
interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Capital Securities and the
Common Securities. The Capital Securities rank pari passu and payment thereon
shall be made Pro Rata with the Common Securities except that, where an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the Common
Securities to payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation,
redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment of the
Holders of the Capital Securities.

                                       29

<PAGE>

          (b) The Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by one or
more Administrators. Such signature shall be the facsimile or manual signature
of any Administrator. In case any Administrator of the Trust who shall have
signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such Administrator before the
Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificates
nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such Certificates
had not ceased to be such Administrator. Any Certificate may be signed on behalf
of the Trust by such person who, at the actual date of execution of such
Certificate, shall be an Administrator of the Trust, although at the date of the
execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such an
Administrator. A Capital Security shall not be valid until the Certificate
evidencing it is authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of an
Authorized Officer of the Institutional Trustee. Such signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Certificate evidencing such Capital Security has
been authenticated under this Declaration. Upon written order of the Trust
signed by one Administrator, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate one or
more Certificates evidencing the Capital Securities for original issue. The
Institutional Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that is a U.S. Person
acceptable to the Trust to authenticate Certificates evidencing the Capital
Securities. A Common Security need not be so authenticated and shall be valid
upon execution by one or more Administrators.

          (c) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the
Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall
not constitute a loan to the Trust.

          (d) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration,
the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and each Holder thereof shall be entitled to the benefits
provided by this Declaration.

          (e) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder in accordance
with the terms of this Declaration, shall be deemed to have expressly assented
and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this Declaration and the
Guarantee.

          Section 6.2. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Calculation Agent and
Registrar.

          (a) The Trust shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or
agency where the Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent"),
and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of
transfer or exchange (the "Transfer Agent"). The Trust shall keep or cause to be
kept at such office or agency a register (the "Securities Register") for the
purpose of registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities,
such Securities Register to be held by a registrar (the "Registrar"). The
Administrators may appoint the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Transfer
Agent, and may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents, one or more
co-Registrars, or one or more co-Transfer Agents in such other locations as it
shall determine. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional Paying Agent,
the term "Registrar" includes any additional Registrar or co-Registrar and the
term "Transfer Agent" includes any additional Transfer Agent or co-Transfer
Agent. The Administrators may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or
Registrar at any time without prior notice to any Holder. The Administrators
shall notify the Institutional Trustee of the name and address of any Paying
Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar not a party to this

                                       30

<PAGE>

Declaration. The Administrators hereby initially appoint the Institutional
Trustee to act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Capital
Securities and the Common Securities at its Corporate Trust Office. The
Institutional Trustee or any of its Affiliates in the United States may act as
Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

          (b) The Trust shall also appoint a Calculation Agent, which shall
determine the Coupon Rate in accordance with the terms of the Securities. The
Trust initially appoints the Institutional Trustee as Calculation Agent.

          Section 6.3. Form and Dating.

          (a) The Capital Securities shall be evidenced by one or more
Certificates and the Institutional Trustee's certificate of authentication
thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, and the Common
Securities shall be evidenced by one or more Certificates substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-2, each of which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made
a part of this Declaration. Certificates may be typed, printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Administrators, as conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof.
Certificates evidencing Securities may have letters, numbers, notations or other
marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements required
by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Trust is subject, if any,
or usage (provided, that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form
acceptable to the Sponsor). The Trust at the direction of the Sponsor shall
furnish any such legend not contained in Exhibit A-1 to the Institutional
Trustee in writing. Each Capital Security Certificate shall be dated the date of
its authentication. The terms and provisions of the Securities set forth in
Annex I and the forms of Certificates set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 are part
of the terms of this Declaration and to the extent applicable, the Institutional
Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Administrators and the Sponsor, by their
execution and delivery of this Declaration, expressly agree to such terms and
provisions and to be bound thereby. Capital Securities will be issued only in
blocks having an aggregate liquidation amount of not less than $100,000.

          (b) The Capital Securities are being offered and sold by the Trust
pursuant to the Placement Agreement in definitive form, registered in the name
of the Holder thereof, without coupons and with the Restricted Securities
Legend.

          Section 6.4. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If:

          (a) any mutilated Certificate should be surrendered to the Registrar,
or if the Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and

          (b) the related Holder shall deliver to the Registrar, the
Administrators and the Institutional Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to keep each of them harmless; then, in the absence of
notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
an Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute (and in the case of a
Capital Security Certificate, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate) and
deliver to such Holder, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination.
In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under

                                       31

<PAGE>

this Section 6.4, the Registrar or the Administrators may require such Holder to
pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any Certificate executed and delivered pursuant
to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in
the relevant Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

          Section 6.5. Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Certificates are
ready for delivery, the Administrators may prepare and execute on behalf of the
Trust and, in the case of Capital Security Certificates, the Institutional
Trustee shall authenticate, temporary Certificates. Temporary Certificates shall
be substantially in the form of definitive Certificates but may have variations
that the Administrators consider appropriate for temporary Certificates. Without
unreasonable delay, the Administrators shall prepare and execute on behalf of
the Trust and, in the case of the Capital Security Certificates, the
Institutional Trustee shall authenticate definitive Certificates in exchange for
temporary Certificates.

          Section 6.6. Cancellation. The Administrators at any time may deliver
Certificates evidencing Securities to the Institutional Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar shall forward to the Institutional Trustee any
Certificates evidencing Securities surrendered to it for registration of
transfer, redemption or payment. The Institutional Trustee shall promptly cancel
all Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer, payment, replacement
or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Certificates as the
Administrators direct. The Administrators may not issue new Certificates to
replace Certificates evidencing Securities that have been paid or, except for
Certificates surrendered for purposes of the transfer or exchange of the
Securities evidenced thereby, that have been delivered to the Institutional
Trustee for cancellation.

          Section 6.7. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults.

          (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.5,
and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their
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
Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set
forth therein and in this Declaration. The Securities shall have no, and the
issuance of the Securities shall not be subject to, preemptive or other similar
rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase
price therefor, the Securities will be fully paid and nonassessable by the
Trust.

          (b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if, upon
an Indenture Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(b), 5.01(e) or 5.01(f) of
the Indenture the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of
all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of not less
than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding
shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the
Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee.

                                       32

<PAGE>

          (c) At any time after the acceleration of maturity of the Debentures
has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, if the
Institutional Trustee, subject to the provisions hereof, fails to annul any such
acceleration and waive such default, the Holders of not less than a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the
Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and
annul such acceleration and its consequences if:

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

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

                    (B) any accrued Deferred Interest on all of the Debentures;

                    (C) all payments on any Debentures that have become due
               otherwise than by such acceleration and interest and Deferred
               Interest thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures; and

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

               (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other
          than the non-payment of the principal of or premium, if any on the
          Debentures that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been
          cured or waived as provided in Section 5.07 of the Indenture.

          (d) The Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of
the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital
Securities, waive any past Default or Event of Default, except a Default or
Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest
(unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured and a sum sufficient to
pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by
acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default or
Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each
outstanding Debenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

          (e) Upon receipt by the Institutional Trustee of written notice
declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders
of any part of the Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for
determining Holders of outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such
notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the
Institutional Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or
their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join
in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided, that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and
annulment, as the case may be, shall have become

                                       33

<PAGE>

effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice
prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of
no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy
of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written
notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as
the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled
pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record
date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.7.

          (f) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.7, the Holders of
not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities may, on
behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past Default or
Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such Default or
Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Default or Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                      DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF TRUST

          Section 7.1. Dissolution and Termination of Trust. (a) The Trust shall
dissolve on the first to occur of :

               (i) unless earlier dissolved, on February 23, 2041, the
          expiration of the term of the Trust;

               (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Sponsor, the Trust or
          the Debenture Issuer;

               (iii) (other than in connection with a merger, consolidation or
          similar transaction not prohibited by the Indenture, this Declaration
          or the Guarantee, as the case may be) the filing of a certificate of
          dissolution or its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor or upon the
          revocation of the charter of the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days
          after the date of revocation without a reinstatement thereof;

               (iv) the distribution of the Debentures to the Holders of the
          Securities, upon exercise of the right of the Holders of all of the
          outstanding Common Securities to dissolve the Trust as provided in
          Annex I hereto;

               (v) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of any Holder
          of the Common Securities, the Sponsor, the Trust or the Debenture
          Issuer;

               (vi) when all of the Securities shall have been called for
          redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have
          been paid to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the
          Securities; or

                                       34

<PAGE>

               (vii) before the issuance of any Securities, with the consent of
          all of the Trustees and the Sponsor.

          (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event
referred to in Section 7.1(a), and after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust as required by applicable law, including Section 3808 of
the Statutory Trust Act, and subject to the terms set forth in Annex I, the
Institutional Trustee shall terminate the Trust by filing a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

          (c) The provisions of Section 2.9 and Article IX shall survive the
termination of the Trust.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

          Section 8.1. General. (a) Where a Holder of Capital Securities
delivers to the Registrar in accordance with this Declaration a request to
register a transfer of such Holder's Capital Securities or to exchange them for
an equal aggregate liquidation amount of Capital Securities represented by
different Certificates, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange when the requirements specified in this Article VIII for such transfer
or exchange are met. To facilitate registrations of transfers and exchanges, the
Trust shall execute and the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate Capital
Security Certificates at the Registrar's request.

          (b) Upon issuance of the Common Securities, the Sponsor shall acquire
and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities and, for so
long as the Securities remain outstanding, the Sponsor shall maintain 100%
ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that any permitted
successor of the Sponsor under the Indenture that is a U.S. Person may succeed
to the Sponsor's ownership of the Common Securities.

          (c) Capital Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part,
in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in
the terms of the Capital Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any transfer or purported transfer of any Security not made in
accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void and will be deemed to be
of no legal effect whatsoever and any such purported transferee shall be deemed
not to be the Holder of such Capital Securities for any purpose, including, but
not limited to, the receipt of Distributions on such Capital Securities, and
such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Capital
Securities.

          (d) The Registrar shall provide in the Securities Register for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities, which will be
effected without charge but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the
Registrar may reasonably require) in respect of any tax or other governmental
charges that may be imposed in relation to it. Upon its receipt of the documents
required under this Section 8.1(d) for registration of transfer of any
Securities, the Registrar shall register in the Securities Register, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, the Securities being transferred
and thereupon, for all purposes of this Declaration, such transfer shall be
effective and such transferee or transferees shall be, and such transferor

                                       35

<PAGE>

shall no longer be, the Holder of the transferred Securities. Upon the
registration of transfer of a Security pursuant to the terms of this Declaration
in the name of the new Holder thereof, such Security shall constitute the same
Security as the Security so transferred and shall be entitled to the same
benefits under this Declaration as the Security so transferred. The Registrar
shall, and is authorized to, record and register in the Securities Register the
transfer of a Security upon the Registrar's receipt of originals or copies
(which may be by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission) of (i) a
written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar
duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and (ii) if such Security is being transferred other than in accordance
with Section 8.4, a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit B
or C, as applicable, hereto, executed by the transferor or transferee, as
applicable; thereupon, the Registrar is authorized to confirm in writing to the
transferee and, if requested, to the transferor of such Security that such
transfer has been registered in the Securities Register and that such transferee
is the Holder of such Security. The Certificate evidencing the Security so
transferred, duly endorsed by the transferor, shall be surrendered to the
Registrar at the time the transfer conditions specified in the immediately
preceding sentence are satisfied or within five (5) Business Days after the
Registrar has registered the transfer of such Security on the Securities
Register, and promptly after such surrender, an Administrator on behalf of the
Trust shall execute and, in the case of a Capital Security Certificate, the
Institutional Trustee shall, and is authorized to, authenticate a Certificate in
the name of the transferee as the new Holder of the Security evidenced thereby.
Until the Certificate evidencing the Security so transferred is surrendered to
the Registrar, such Security may not be transferred by such new Holder. Each
Certificate surrendered in connection with a registration of transfer shall be
canceled by the Institutional Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6. A transferee of a
Security shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
Holder hereunder upon the registration of such transfer in the Securities
Register. Each such transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by
this Declaration.

          (e) Neither the Trust nor the Registrar shall be required (i) to issue
Certificates representing Securities or register the transfer of or exchange any
Securities, during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the day of any selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of
business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is
deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Securities to be redeemed, or
(ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security
being redeemed in part.

          Section 8.2. Transfer Procedures and Restrictions.

          (a) The Certificates evidencing Capital Securities shall bear the
Restricted Securities Legend (as defined below), which shall not be removed
unless there is delivered to the Trust such satisfactory evidence, which may
include an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, as may be
reasonably required by the Trust, that neither the Restricted Securities Legend
nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that
transfers thereof comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or to ensure
that such Securities are not "restricted" within the meaning of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the
Institutional Trustee, at the written direction of the Trust, shall authenticate
and deliver Capital Securities Certificates that do not bear the Restricted
Securities

                                       36

<PAGE>

Legend in exchange for the Capital Securities Certificates bearing the
Restricted Securities Legend.

          (b) Without the written consent of the Sponsor, Capital Securities may
only be transferred: (i) to a QIB if the instrument of transfer is accompanied
by a certificate of the transferor substantially in the form set forth as
Exhibit C hereto; or (ii) otherwise than to a QIB if the instrument of transfer
is accompanied by a certificate of the transferee substantially in the form set
forth as Exhibit B hereto. Each certificate furnished pursuant to this Section
8.2(b) may be an original or a copy (which may be furnished by facsimile or
other form of electronic transmission).

          (c) Except as permitted by Section 8.2(a), each Certificate evidencing
a Capital Security shall bear a legend (the "Restricted Securities Legend") in
substantially the following form:

          THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR ANY

TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT TO AN
"ACCREDITED INVESTOR" WITHIN THE MEANING OF SUBPARAGRAPH (a) (1), (2), (3) OR

OWN ACCOUNT, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SUCH AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR," FOR INVESTMENT
PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR OFFER OR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY
DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT,

COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DEBENTURE ISSUER OR THE TRUST. THE HOLDER
OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES THAT IT WILL COMPLY WITH THE
FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

          THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES,
REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ENGAGE IN HEDGING TRANSACTIONS
INVOLVING THIS SECURITY UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SECURITIES ACT.

          THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF ALSO AGREES,
REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT, INDIVIDUAL
RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR OTHER PLAN OR ARRANGEMENT SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED ("ERISA"), OR

OR (ii) SUCH PURCHASE AND HOLDING WILL NOT RESULT IN A PROHIBITED TRANSACTION
UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE FOR WHICH THERE IS NO
APPLICABLE STATUTORY OR ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION.

          IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY WILL
DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER
INFORMATION AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DECLARATION OF TRUST
TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

          THIS SECURITY WILL BE ISSUED AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN BLOCKS
HAVING A LIQUIDATION AMOUNT OF NOT LESS THAN $100,000 AND MULTIPLES OF $1,000 IN
EXCESS THEREOF. ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN A BLOCK HAVING A
LIQUIDATION AMOUNT OF LESS THAN $100,000 SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE VOID AND OF NO
LEGAL EFFECT WHATSOEVER. ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO BE
THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS SECURITY, AND SUCH PURPORTED

<PAGE>

TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER IN THIS SECURITY.

          (d) Capital Securities may only be transferred in minimum blocks of
$100,000 aggregate liquidation amount (100 Capital Securities) and multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof. Any attempted transfer of Capital Securities in a
block having an aggregate liquidation amount of less than $100,000 shall be
deemed to be void and of no legal effect whatsoever. Any such purported
transferee shall be deemed not to be a Holder of such Capital Securities for any
purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of Distributions on such
Capital Securities, and such purported transferee shall be deemed to have no
interest whatsoever in such Capital Securities.

          Section 8.3. Deemed Security Holders. The Trust, the Administrators,
the Trustees, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name any Security shall be registered on the Securities
Register of the Trust as the sole Holder and owner of such Security for purposes
of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and,
accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or
interest in such Security on the part of any other Person, whether or not the
Trust, the Administrators, the Trustees, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or
the Registrar shall have actual or other notice thereof.

          Section 8.4. Transfer of Initial Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Article VIII or any other provision of this
Declaration (including all Annexes and Exhibits hereto) to the contrary, any or
all of the Capital Securities initially issued to SCP Warehouse (the "Initial
Securities") may be transferred by SCP Warehouse to any transferee selected by
it that meets the parameters specified below and, upon delivery to the
Registrar, of originals or copies (which may be by facsimile or other form of
electronic transmission) of a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by SCP Warehouse or SCP Warehouse's
attorney duly authorized in writing (it being understood that no signature
guarantee shall be required), then the Registrar shall, and is authorized to,
record and register on the Securities Register the transfer of such Initial
Securities to such transferee; thereupon, the Registrar is authorized to confirm
in writing to the transferee and, if requested, to the transferor of such
Initial Securities that such transfer has been registered in the Securities
Register and that such transferee is the Holder of such Initial Securities;
provided, however, that SCP Warehouse, by its acceptance thereof, agrees that it
may not transfer any Initial Securities to any transferee that is not a
permitted transferee as provided herein and in the legend attached to the
Certificate representing any Capital Security. The Certificate evidencing the
Initial Securities to be transferred, duly endorsed by SCP Warehouse, shall be
surrendered to the Registrar at the time the transfer conditions specified in
the immediately preceding sentence are satisfied or within five (5) Business
Days after the Registrar has registered the transfer of such Initial Securities
in the Securities Register, and promptly after such surrender, an Administrator
on behalf of the Trust shall execute and, in the case of a Capital Security
Certificate, the Institutional Trustee shall, and is authorized to, authenticate
a Certificate in the name of the transferee as the new Holder of the Initial
Securities evidenced thereby. Until the Certificate evidencing the Initial
Securities so transferred is surrendered to the Registrar, such Initial
Securities may not be transferred by such new Holder. No other conditions,
restrictions or

                                       39

<PAGE>

other provisions of this Declaration or any other document shall apply to a
transfer of Initial Securities by SCP Warehouse.

                                   ARTICLE IX

      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

          Section 9.1. Liability. (a) Except as expressly set forth in this
Declaration, the Guarantee and the terms of the Securities, the Sponsor shall
not be:

               (i) personally liable for the return of any portion of the
          capital contributions (or any return thereon) of the Holders of the
          Securities which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust; and

               (ii) required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of the
          Securities any deficit upon dissolution of the Trust or otherwise.

          (b) The Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for all of the
debts and obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Securities)
to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust's assets.

          (c) Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the
Holders of the Securities 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, except as otherwise
specifically set forth herein.

          Section 9.2. Exculpation. (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered
Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the
Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within
the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this
Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person (other than an
Administrator) shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by
reason of such Indemnified Person's negligence or willful misconduct with
respect to such acts or omissions and except that an Administrator shall be
liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such
Administrator's gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts
or omissions.

          (b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good
faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports
or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the Indemnified
Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert
competence and, if selected by such Indemnified Person, has been selected by
such Indemnified Person with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust,
including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and
amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses or any other facts pertinent
to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to Holders of
Securities might properly be paid.

          Section 9.3. Fiduciary Duty. (a) To the extent that, at law or in
equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an
Indemnified Person acting under this Declaration shall not be liable to the
Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the
extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person
otherwise existing at law or in equity (other than the duties imposed on the
Institutional Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties
hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person.

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

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

               (ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard, the
          Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not
          be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this
          Declaration or by applicable law.

          Section 9.4. Indemnification. (a) (i) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any Indemnified Person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Trust) by reason
of the fact that such Person is or was an Indemnified Person against expenses
(including attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if such Person acted in good faith and in a
manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

                                       41

<PAGE>

               (ii) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted
          by law, any Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened
          to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
          suit by or in the right of the Trust to procure a judgment in its
          favor by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an Indemnified
          Person against expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses)
          actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with the
          defense or settlement of such action or suit if such Person acted in
          good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or
          not opposed to the best interests of the Trust and except that no such
          indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
          as to which such Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be
          liable to the Trust unless and only to the extent that the Court of
          Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was
          brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
          adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the
          case, such Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
          such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall
          deem proper.

               (iii) To the extent that an Indemnified Person shall be
          successful on the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of an
          action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without
          admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
          referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.4(a), or in
          defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Person shall be
          indemnified, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against expenses
          (including attorneys' fees and expenses) actually and reasonably
          incurred by such Person in connection therewith.

               (iv) Any indemnification of an Administrator under paragraphs (i)
          and (ii) of this Section 9.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be
          made by the Sponsor only as authorized in the specific case upon a
          determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper
          in the circumstances because such Person has met the applicable
          standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such
          determination shall be made (A) by the Administrators by a majority
          vote of a Quorum consisting of such Administrators who were not
          parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (B) if such a Quorum is
          not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested
          Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
          opinion, or (C) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.

               (v) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including
          attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
          defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
          suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this
          Section 9.4(a) shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final
          disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
          undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such
          amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not
          entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor as authorized in this
          Section 9.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be
          made by the Sponsor if a determination is

                                       42

<PAGE>

          reasonably and promptly made (1) in the case of a Company Indemnified
          Person (A) by the Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum of
          disinterested Administrators, (B) if such a Quorum is not obtainable,
          or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Administrators so
          directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (C) by
          the Common Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts
          known to the Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder at
          the time such determination is made, such Indemnified Person acted in
          bad faith or in a manner that such Person either believed to be
          opposed to or did not believe to be in the best interests of the
          Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such
          Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe such
          conduct was unlawful, or (2) in the case of a Fiduciary Indemnified
          Person, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that, based
          upon the facts known to the counsel at the time such determination is
          made, such Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that
          such Indemnified Person either believed to be opposed to or did not
          believe to be in the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to
          any criminal proceeding, that such Indemnified Person believed or had
          reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. In no event
          shall any advance be made (i) to a Company Indemnified Person in
          instances where the Administrators, independent legal counsel or the
          Common Security Holder reasonably determine that such Person
          deliberately breached such Person's duty to the Trust or its Common or
          Capital Security Holders or (ii) to a Fiduciary Indemnified Person in
          instances where independent legal counsel promptly and reasonably
          determines in a written opinion that such Person deliberately breached
          such Person's duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security
          Holders.

          (b) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Indemnified Person from and against any and all loss,
damage, liability, tax (other than taxes based on the income of such Indemnified
Person), penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by
such Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the
creation, administration or termination of the Trust, or any act or omission of
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 this Declaration, except that no
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss,
damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim incurred by such Indemnified
Person by reason of negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts
or omissions.

          (c) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 9.4 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors of the Sponsor or Capital Security
Holders of the Trust or otherwise, both as to action in such Person's official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. All
rights to indemnification under this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to be provided
by a contract between the Sponsor and each Indemnified Person who serves in such
capacity at any time while this Section 9.4 is in

                                       43

<PAGE>

effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 9.4 shall not affect any
rights or obligations then existing.

          (d) The Sponsor or the Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any Person who is or was an Indemnified Person against any liability
asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity,
or arising out of such Person's status as such, whether or not the Sponsor would
have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the
provisions of this Section 9.4.

          (e) For purposes of this Section 9.4, references to "the Trust" shall
include, in addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any constituent
entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation
or merger, so that any Person who is or was a director, trustee, officer or
employee of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another
entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section
9.4 with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as such Person would have
with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had continued.

          (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Section 9.4 shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to be an
Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a Person.

          (g) The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination
of this Declaration or the earlier resignation or removal of the Institutional
Trustee. The obligations of the Sponsor under this Section 9.4 to compensate and
indemnify the Trustees and to pay or reimburse the Trustees for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder.
Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustees as
such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular
Capital Securities, provided, that the Sponsor is the Holder of the Common
Securities.

          Section 9.5. Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the
Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee (subject to Section 4.3(c)) may
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or
description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business
of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall have no rights
by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent ventures or the income
or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if
competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or
improper. None of any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee or the
Institutional Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or
other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that,
if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person,
the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee shall have the
right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or
to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any
Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee may engage or
be interested in any financial or other

                                       44

<PAGE>

transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as
depositary for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders
of, securities or other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

          Section 9.6. Compensation; Fee. (a) The Sponsor agrees:

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

                    (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
               reimburse the Trustees upon request for all reasonable,
               documented expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
               by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this
               Declaration (including the reasonable compensation and the
               expenses and disbursements of their respective agents and
               counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
               attributable to their negligence or willful misconduct.

          (b) The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the dissolution
of the Trust and the termination of this Declaration and the removal or
resignation of any Trustee.

                                    ARTICLE X

          Section 10.1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year (the "Fiscal Year") of the
Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

          Section 10.2. Certain Accounting Matters.

          (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrators
shall keep, or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Trust in the
United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section
301.7701-7, full books of account, records and supporting documents, which shall
reflect in reasonable detail each transaction of the Trust. The books of account
shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

          (b) The Sponsor shall cause the Administrators to deliver to each
Holder of the Securities: (i) if the Sponsor or any of its Subsidiaries is not
then (x) subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or (y) exempt from
reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, the information required by
Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, (ii) if the Sponsor is not then
required to file form FR Y-9C, the audited financial statements (or, if no
audited financial statements are prepared, the unaudited financial statements)
of the Sponsor and any Subsidiaries within 90 days after the end of the Fiscal
Year, and (iii) within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust,
annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet of the

                                       45

<PAGE>

Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the statements of income or loss
for the Fiscal Year then ended, that are prepared at the principal office of the
Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
section 301.7701-7.

          (c) The Administrators shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered
to each of the Holders of Securities Form 1099 or such other annual United
States federal income tax information statement required by the Code, containing
such information with regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is
required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding any right
under the Code to deliver any such statement at a later date, the Administrators
shall endeavor to deliver all such statements within 30 days after the end of
each Fiscal Year of the Trust.

          (d) The Administrators shall cause to be duly prepared in the United
States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, and
filed an annual United States federal income tax return on a Form 1041 or such
other form required by United States federal income tax law, and any other
annual income tax returns required to be filed by the Administrators on behalf
of the Trust with any state or local taxing authority.

          (e) So long as the only Holder or beneficial owner of the Capital
Securities is an entity that holds a pool of trust preferred securities, debt
securities and/or similar securities or a trustee thereof, the Administrators
will cause the Sponsor's reports on FR Y-9C to be delivered to the Holder
promptly following their filing with the Federal Reserve.

          Section 10.3. Banking. The Trust shall maintain one or more bank
accounts in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
section 301.7701-7, in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided,
however, that all payments of funds in respect of the Debentures held by the
Institutional Trustee shall be made directly to the Property Account and no
other funds of the Trust shall be deposited in the Property Account. The sole
signatories for such accounts (including the Property Account) shall be
designated by the Institutional Trustee.

          Section 10.4. Withholding. The Institutional Trustee or any Paying
Agent and the Administrators shall comply with all withholding requirements
under United States federal, state and local law. The Institutional Trustee or
any Paying Agent shall request, and each Holder shall provide to the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent, such forms or certificates as are
necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to the Holder,
and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent to assist it in determining the extent
of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Administrators shall
file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from
withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld
with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent is required to withhold and pay over
any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any
Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution to the Holder
in the amount of the withholding. In the event of any claimed overwithholding,
Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If
the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions

                                       46

<PAGE>

made, the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent may reduce subsequent
Distributions by the amount of such withholding.

               (i) the Institutional Trustee,

ineffective:

               (i) unless the Institutional Trustee shall have first received

                    (A) an Officers' Certificate from each of the Trust and the
               Sponsor that such amendment is permitted by, and conforms to, the
               terms of this Declaration (including the terms of the
               Securities); and

                    (B) an opinion of counsel (who may be counsel to the Sponsor
               or the Trust) that such amendment is permitted by, and conforms
               to, the terms of this Declaration (including the terms of the
               Securities) and that all conditions precedent to the execution

               (ii) if the result of such amendment would be to

                    (A) cause the Trust to cease to be classified for purposes
               of United States federal income taxation as a grantor trust;

                    (B) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the powers of the

               Act;

               amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of the Debentures as "Tier
               1 Capital" (or its equivalent) for purposes of the capital
               adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve (or any successor
               regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding
               companies).

          (c) Except as provided in Section 11.1(d), (e) or (g), no amendment
shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and ineffective,
unless the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities
shall have consented to such amendment.

          (d) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
Declaration, without the consent of each affected Holder, this Declaration may
not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution on the
Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required
to be made in respect of the Securities as of a specified date or (ii) restrict
the right of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after such date.

          (e) Sections 9.1(b) and 9.1(c) and this Section 11.1 shall not be

          Declaration;

               (iii) add to the covenants, restrictions or obligations of the
          Sponsor; or

               (iv) modify, eliminate or add to any provision of this
          Declaration to such extent as may be necessary or desirable,
          including, without limitation, to ensure that the Trust will be
          classified for United States federal income tax purposes at all times
          as a grantor trust and will not be required to register as an
          Investment Company under the Investment Company Act (including without
          limitation to conform to any change in Rule 3a-5, Rule 3a-7 or any
          other applicable rule under the Investment Company Act or written
          change in interpretation or application thereof by any legislative
          body, court, government agency or regulatory authority) which
          amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the right,
          preferences or privileges of the Holders of Securities;

                                       48

<PAGE>

          provided, however, that no such modification, elimination or addition
          referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall adversely affect
          the powers, preferences or rights of Holders of Capital Securities.

          Section 11.2. Meetings of the Holders of the Securities; Action by
Written Consent.

          (a) Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called
at any time by the Administrators (or as provided in the terms of the
Securities) to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of
Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of
the Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Capital
Securities are listed or admitted for trading, if any. The Administrators shall
call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders
of not less than 10% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such
direction shall be given by delivering to the Administrators one or more notices
in a writing stating that the signing Holders of the Securities wish to call a
meeting and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is
to be called. Any Holders of the Securities calling a meeting shall specify in
writing the Certificates held by the Holders of the Securities exercising the
right to call a meeting and only those Securities represented by such
Certificates shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required
percentage set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has been met.

          (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the
Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of the
Securities:

               (i) notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders
          of the Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and
          not more than 60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a
          vote, consent or approval of the Holders of the Securities is
          permitted or required under this Declaration or the rules of any stock
          exchange on which the Capital Securities are listed or admitted for
          trading, if any, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a
          meeting of the Holders of the Securities. Any action that may be taken
          at a meeting of the Holders of the Securities may be taken without a
          meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is
          signed by the Holders of the Securities owning not less than the
          minimum liquidation amount of Securities that would be necessary to
          authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of the
          Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and voting.
          Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given
          to the Holders of the Securities entitled to vote who have not
          consented in writing. The Administrators may specify that any written
          ballot submitted to the Holders of the Securities for the purpose of
          taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Trust
          within the time specified by the Administrators;

               (ii) each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act
          for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Securities is
          entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or
          voting or participating at a meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
          the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof

                                       49

<PAGE>

          unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable
          at the pleasure of the Holder of the Securities executing it. Except
          as otherwise provided herein, all matters relating to the giving,
          voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General
          Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and
          judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware
          corporation and the Holders of the Securities were stockholders of a
          Delaware corporation; each meeting of the Holders of the Securities
          shall be conducted by the Administrators or by such other Person that
          the Administrators may designate; and

          stock exchange on which the Capital Securities are then listed for

          discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings

          purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any
          Holders of the Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by
          consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum
          requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with
          respect to the exercise of any such right to vote; provided, however,
          that each meeting shall be conducted in the United States (as that
          term is defined in Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7).

                                     ANNEX I

                                    TERMS OF
                   FIXED/FLOATING RATE CAPITAL SECURITIES AND
                      FIXED/FLOATING RATE COMMON SECURITIES

          Pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust, dated as of November 8, 2005 (as amended from time to time, the
"Declaration"), the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences
and other terms and provisions of the Capital Securities and the Common
Securities are set out below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein
has the meaning set forth in the Declaration):

          1. Designation and Number.

          (a) Capital Securities. 9,200 Capital Securities of Front Range
Capital Trust II (the "Trust"), with an aggregate stated liquidation amount with
respect to the assets of the Trust of Nine Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($9,200,000) and a stated liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the
Trust of $1,000 per Capital Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of
identification only as the "Fixed/Floating Rate Capital Securities" (the
"Capital Securities"). The Capital Security Certificates evidencing the Capital
Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the Declaration,
with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be
required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform to the rules of any
stock exchange on which the Capital Securities are listed, if any.

          (b) Common Securities. 285 Common Securities of the Trust (the "Common
Securities") will be evidenced by Common Security Certificates substantially in
the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions
thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or
practice. In the absence of an Event of Default, the Common Securities will have
an aggregate stated liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust
of Two Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Dollars ($285,000) and a stated liquidation
amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per Common Security.

          2. Distributions. (a) Distributions payable on each Security will be
payable (i) at a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to [ ]% through the end
of the Distribution Period (as defined herein) with respect to the Distribution
Payment Date occurring in February 2011 (the "Fixed Period") and (ii) at a
variable per annum rate of interest which, with respect to any Distribution
Period after the Fixed Period, will be equal to LIBOR, as determined on the
LIBOR Determination Date for such Distribution Period, plus 3.45% (collectively,
the "Coupon Rate"), such rate being the rate of interest payable on the
Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth below in
respect of an Extension Period, Distributions in arrears for more than one
Distribution Period will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the
applicable Coupon Rate for each such Distribution Period (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes
cash distributions, any such compounded distributions and any Additional
Interest payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is
payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures

                                     A-I-1

<PAGE>

held by the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee
has funds available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of
Distributions payable for each Distribution Period during the Fixed Period will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and,
thereafter, on the basis of 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed
in the relevant Distribution Period; provided, however, that upon the occurrence
of a Special Event redemption pursuant to paragraph 4(a) below the amounts
payable pursuant to this Declaration shall be calculated as set forth in the
definition of Special Redemption Price.

          The term "Distribution Period" means the period from and including
each Distribution Payment Date or, in the case of the first Distribution Period,
the original date of issuance of the Securities to, but excluding, the next
succeeding Distribution Payment Date or, in the case of the last Distribution
Period, the Redemption Date, Special Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as
applicable.

          (b) LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent for each
Distribution Period after the Fixed Period in accordance with the following
provisions:

               (1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (provided, that on such day
          commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign
          currency deposits) in London (a "LIBOR Banking Day"), and otherwise
          the next preceding LIBOR Business Day that is also a LIBOR Banking
          Day) prior to February 23, May 23, August 23 and November 23, as the
          case may be, immediately preceding the commencement of such
          Distribution Period, (each such day, a "LIBOR Determination Date"),
          LIBOR shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent for
          three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe, which appears on Telerate
          (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association,
          Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions) Page 3750
          or such other page as may replace such Telerate Page 3750, as of 11:00
          a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date, as reported by
          Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News (or any successor
          service). "LIBOR Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday,
          Sunday or other day on which commercial banking institutions in New
          York, New York or Wilmington, Delaware are authorized or obligated by
          law or executive order to be closed. If such rate is superseded on
          Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate before 12:00 noon (London time)
          on the same LIBOR Determination Date, the corrected rate as so
          substituted will be the applicable LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination
          Date.

               (2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not
          appear on Telerate Page 3750 as reported by Bloomberg Financial
          Markets Commodities News or such other page as may replace such
          Telerate Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall determine the
          arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as
          defined below) to leading banks in the London interbank market for
          three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe (in an amount determined by
          the Calculation Agent) by reference to requests for quotations as of
          approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date
          made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR

                                     A-I-2

<PAGE>

          Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such
          quotations, LIBOR shall equal the arithmetic mean of such quotations.
          If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference
          Banks provide such a quotation, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the
          arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that at least two leading
          banks in the City of New York (as selected by the Calculation Agent)
          are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month
          U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London
          time) (in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent). As used
          herein, "Reference Banks" means four major banks in the London
          interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent.

               (3) If the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to
          determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures
          provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR in effect on the previous LIBOR
          Determination Date (whether or not LIBOR for such period was in fact
          determined on such LIBOR Determination Date).

          (c) All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Securities
will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward
(e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and
all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to
the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

          (d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
notify, in writing, the Sponsor and the Paying Agent of the applicable Coupon
Rate in effect for the related Distribution Period. The Calculation Agent shall,
upon the request of the Holder of any Securities, provide the Coupon Rate then
in effect. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence of
manifest error shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Sponsor
and the Holders of the Securities. The Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on
information received from the Calculation Agent or the Sponsor as to the Coupon
Rate. The Sponsor shall, from time to time, provide any necessary information to
the Paying Agent relating to any original issue discount and interest on the
Securities that is included in any payment and reportable for taxable income
calculation purposes.

          (e) Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
from the date of original issuance, and will be payable, subject to extension of
Distribution Periods as described herein, quarterly in arrears on February 23,
May 23, August 23 and November 23 of each year, commencing on February 23, 2006
(each, a "Distribution Payment Date"). The Debenture Issuer has the right under
the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the
interest payment period for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each, an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject
to the conditions described below. During any Extension Period, interest will
continue to accrue on the Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest
(such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred
Interest") will accrue at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate in effect for
each such Extension Period, compounded quarterly from the date such Deferred
Interest would have been payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the
extent permitted by

                                     A-I-3

<PAGE>

law. No Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment
Date. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay
all Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures; provided,
however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date,
Redemption Date or Special Redemption Date and provided, further, that, during
any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may not (i) declare or pay any
dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Debenture Issuer's capital
stock, (ii) make any payment due on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt
securities of the Debenture Issuer that rank pari passu in all respects with or
junior in interest to the Debentures or (iii) make any payment under any
guarantees of the Debenture Issuer that rank pari passu in all respects with or
junior in interest to the Guarantee (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or
other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (I) in
connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar
arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers,
directors or consultants, (II) in connection with a dividend reinvestment or
stockholder stock purchase plan or (III) in connection with the issuance of
capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition
transaction entered into prior to the occurrence of (I), (II) or (III) above,
(b) as a result of any exchange or conversion of any class or series of the
Debenture Issuer's capital stock (or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the
Debenture Issuer) for any class or series of the Debenture Issuer's capital
stock or of any class or series of the Debenture Issuer's indebtedness for any
class or series of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock, (c) the purchase of
fractional interests in shares of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock pursuant
to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security
being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection
with any stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other
property under any stockholder's rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of
rights pursuant thereto or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants,
options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon
exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on
which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior in interest
to such stock). Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture
Issuer may further extend such period, provided, that such period together with
all such previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20
consecutive quarterly periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and
upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a
new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or
Deferred Interest (except any Additional Interest that may be due and payable)
shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof,
but interest shall accrue upon each installment of interest that would otherwise
have been due and payable during such Extension Period until such installment is
paid. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the
date that the related Extension Period terminates, or, if such date is not a
Distribution Payment Date, on the immediately following Distribution Payment
Date, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and records of
the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on
the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any
Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds legally available for
the payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The
Trust's funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will
be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of
Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor
pursuant to the Guarantee.

                                     A-I-4

<PAGE>

          (f) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders
thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Registrar on the relevant
record dates. The relevant record dates shall be selected by the Administrators,
which dates shall be 15 days before the relevant payment dates. Distributions
payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution
Payment Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed to make a
payment under the Debentures, as the case may be, when due (taking into account
any Extension Period), will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such
Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted
Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Securities
are registered on the special record date or other specified date determined in
accordance with the Indenture. If any Distribution Payment Date other than any
date of redemption, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then
Distributions payable will be paid on, and such Distribution Payment Date will
be moved to, the next succeeding Business Day, and additional Distributions will
accrue for each day that such payment is delayed as a result thereof.

          (g) In the event that there is any money or other property held by or
for the Trust that is not accounted for hereunder, such property shall be
distributed pro rata (as defined herein) among the Holders of the Securities.

          3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust (each, a "Liquidation") other than in connection with a redemption of
the Debentures, the Holders of the Securities will be entitled to receive out of
the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of the Securities,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust (to the extent not
satisfied by the Debenture Issuer), distributions equal to the aggregate of the
stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Security plus accrued and unpaid
Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation
Distribution"), unless in connection with such Liquidation, the Debentures in an
aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of such Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate of,
and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and
unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date as, such Securities,
after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of
the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Act, shall
be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange
for such Securities.

          The Sponsor, as the Holder of all of the Common Securities, has the
right at any time to dissolve the Trust (including without limitation upon the
occurrence of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment
Event), subject to the receipt by the Debenture Issuer of prior approval from
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), if
then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve and, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust, cause
the Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities on a Pro Rata
basis in accordance with the aggregate stated liquidation amount thereof.

          The Trust shall dissolve on the first to occur of (i) February 23,
2041, the expiration of the term of the Trust, (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with
respect to the Sponsor, the Trust

                                      A-I-5

<PAGE>

or the Debenture Issuer, (iii) (other than in connection with a merger,
consolidation or similar transaction not prohibited by the Indenture, this
Declaration or the Guarantee, as the case may be) the filing of a certificate of
dissolution of the Sponsor or upon the revocation of the charter of the Sponsor
and the expiration of 90 days after the date of revocation without a
reinstatement thereof, (iv) the distribution to the Holders of the Securities of
the Debentures, upon exercise of the right of the Holder of all of the
outstanding Common Securities to dissolve the Trust as described above, (v) the
entry of a decree of a judicial dissolution of the Sponsor or the Trust, or (vi)
when all of the Securities shall have been called for redemption and the amounts
necessary for redemption thereof shall have been paid to the Holders in
accordance with the terms of the Securities. As soon as practicable after the
dissolution of the Trust and upon completion of the winding up of the Trust, the
Trust shall terminate upon the filing of a certificate of cancellation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

          If a Liquidation of the Trust occurs as described in clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (v) in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Institutional Trustee of the Trust as expeditiously as such
Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to the
Holders of the Securities, the Debentures on a Pro Rata basis to the extent not
satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, unless such distribution is determined by the
Institutional Trustee not to be practical, in which event such Holders will be
entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to
the Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust to the
extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, an amount equal to the Liquidation
Distribution. An early Liquidation of the Trust pursuant to clause (iv) of the
immediately preceding paragraph shall occur if the Institutional Trustee
determines that such Liquidation is possible by distributing, after satisfaction
of liabilities to creditors of Trust, to the Holders of the Securities on a Pro
Rata basis, the Debentures, and such distribution occurs.

          If, upon any such Liquidation, 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 the amounts payable directly
by the Trust on such Capital Securities shall be paid to the Holders of the
Securities on a Pro Rata basis, except that if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a preference over the
Common Securities with regard to such distributions.

          Upon any such Liquidation of the Trust involving a distribution of the
Debentures, if at the time of such Liquidation, the Capital Securities were
rated by at least one nationally-recognized statistical rating organization, the
Debenture Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from at least
one such or other rating organization a rating for the Debentures.

          After the date for any distribution of the Debentures upon dissolution
of the Trust, (i) the Securities of the Trust will be deemed to be no longer
outstanding, (ii) any certificates representing the Capital Securities will be
deemed to represent undivided beneficial interests in such of the Debentures as
have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of, with an interest rate identical to the distribution rate of, and
bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid distributions
on, the Securities until

                                      A-I-6

<PAGE>

such certificates are presented to the Debenture Issuer or its agent for
transfer or reissuance (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no
payments of interest or principal shall be made to Holders of Securities in
respect of any payments due and payable under the Debentures) and (iii) all
rights of Holders of Securities under the Capital Securities or the Common
Securities, as applicable, shall cease, except the right of such Holders to
receive Debentures upon surrender of certificates representing such Securities.

          4. Redemption and Distribution.

          (a) The Debentures will mature on February 23, 2036. The Debentures
may be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, on any February
23, May 23, August 23 and November 23 on or after February 23, 2011, at the
Redemption Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to Holders
of such Debentures. In addition, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax
Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment Event, the Debentures
may be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer in whole but not in part, at any time
within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company
Event or Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be (the "Special Redemption
Date"), at the Special Redemption Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days' notice to Holders of the Debentures so long as such Tax Event, Investment
Company Event or Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be, is continuing. In
each case, the right of the Debenture Issuer to redeem the Debentures is subject
to the Debenture Issuer having received prior approval from the Federal Reserve,
if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve.

          "Tax Event" means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of
an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a
result of any amendment to or change (including any announced prospective
change) in the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of
any official administrative pronouncement (including any private letter ruling,
technical advice memorandum, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement)(an
"Administrative Action") or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws
or regulations, regardless of whether such Administrative Action or judicial
decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving the Debenture
Issuer or the Trust and whether or not subject to review or appeal, which
amendment, clarification, change, Administrative Action or decision is enacted,
promulgated or announced, in each case on or after the date of original issuance
of the Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that: (i) the Trust
is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to United
States federal income tax with respect to income received or accrued on the
Debentures; (ii) interest payable by the Debenture Issuer on the Debentures is
not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible by
the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax
purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such
opinion, subject to or otherwise required to pay, or required to withhold from
distributions to holders of Trust Securities, more than a de minimis amount of
other taxes (including withholding taxes), duties, assessments or other
governmental charges.

                                      A-I-7

<PAGE>

          "Investment Company Event" means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer
and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
that, as a result of a change in law or regulation or written change in
interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body,
court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, there is more than an
insubstantial risk that the Trust is or, within 90 days of the date of such
opinion will be, considered an "investment company" that is required to be
registered under the Investment Company Act, which change becomes effective on
or after the date of the original issuance of the Debentures.

          "Capital Treatment Event" means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer
and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
that, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or
regulations of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
therein, or as the result of any official or administrative pronouncement or
action or decision interpreting or applying such laws, rules or regulations,
which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement, action or
decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the
Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Debenture Issuer
will not, within 90 days of the date of such opinion, be entitled to treat an
amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities as
"Tier 1 Capital" (or the then equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital
adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory
authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and
applicable to the Debenture Issuer; provided, however, that the distribution of
the Debentures in connection with the Liquidation of the Trust by the Debenture
Issuer shall not in and of itself constitute a Capital Treatment Event unless
such Liquidation shall have occurred in connection with a Tax Event or an
Investment Company Event.

          "Special Event" means any of a Capital Treatment Event, a Tax Event or
an Investment Company Event.

          "Redemption Price" means 100% of the principal amount of the
Debentures being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures to
the Redemption Date or, in the case of a redemption in full at maturity, the
Maturity Date, or, in the case of a redemption due to the occurrence of a
Special Event, to the Special Redemption Date if such Special Redemption Date is
on or after February 23, 2011.

          "Special Redemption Price" means, with respect to the redemption of
any Debenture following a Special Event, an amount in cash equal to the
percentage for the principal amount of the Debenture that is specified below for
the Special Redemption Date plus unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Special
Redemption Date:

                                      A-I-8

<PAGE>

          "Redemption Date" means the date fixed for the redemption of Capital
Securities, which shall be any February 23, May 23, August 23 and November 23 on
or after February 23, 2011.

          (b) Upon the repayment in full at maturity or redemption in whole or
in part of the Debentures (other than following the distribution of the
Debentures to the Holders of the Securities), the proceeds from such repayment
or payment shall concurrently be applied to redeem Pro Rata at the applicable
Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price, as the case may be, Securities
having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed; provided, however, that holders of such
Securities shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice of such
redemption (other than at the scheduled maturity of the Debentures).

          (c) If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so
redeemed, the Common Securities and the Capital Securities will be redeemed Pro
Rata and the Capital Securities to be redeemed will be as described in Section
4(e)(ii) below.

          (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Capital
Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all
Capital Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on or before the
date of redemption.

          (e) Redemption or Distribution Procedures.

               (i) Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of the
     Debentures in exchange for, the Securities (a "Redemption/Distribution
     Notice") will be given by the Trust by mail to each Holder of Securities to
     be redeemed or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before the
     date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof which, in the case of a
     redemption, will be the date fixed for redemption of the Debentures. For
     purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the
     dates on which notices are given pursuant to this Section 4(e)(i), a
     Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such
     notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of
     such Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to
     the Holders of such Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing
     on the books and records of the Registrar. No defect in the
     Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to
     any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange
     proceedings with respect to any other Holder.

               (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Securities
     are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed Pro
     Rata from each Holder of Capital Securities.

                                      A-I-9

<PAGE>

               (iii) If the Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
     Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may only be issued if the
     Debentures are redeemed as set out in this Section 4 (which notice will be
     irrevocable), then, provided, that the Institutional Trustee has a
     sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or
     maturity of the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee will pay the relevant
     redemption price to the Holders of such Securities by check mailed to the
     address of each such Holder appearing on the books and records of the Trust
     on the redemption date. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been
     given and funds deposited as required, then immediately prior to the close
     of business on the date of such deposit, Distributions will cease to accrue
     on the Securities so called for redemption and all rights of Holders of
     such Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of
     the Holders of such Securities to receive the applicable redemption price
     specified in Section 4(a), but without interest on such redemption price.
     If any date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then
     payment of any such redemption price payable on such date will be made on
     the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or
     other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business
     Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the
     immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and
     effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the
     redemption price in respect of any Securities is improperly withheld or
     refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Debenture Issuer as
     guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities will
     continue to accrue at the then applicable rate from the original redemption
     date to the actual date of payment, in which case the actual payment date
     will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
     calculating the redemption price. In the event of any redemption of the
     Capital Securities issued by the Trust in part, the Trust shall not be
     required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security
     during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
     selection for redemption of the Capital Securities and ending at the close
     of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption
     is deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Capital Securities to be
     so redeemed or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Capital
     Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except for the
     unredeemed portion of any Capital Securities being redeemed in part.

               (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the
     Administrators on behalf of the Trust (A) in respect of the Capital
     Securities, to the Holders thereof, and (B) in respect of the Common
     Securities, to the Holder thereof.

               (v) Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including,
     without limitation, United States federal securities laws), and provided,
     that the acquiror is not the Holder of the Common Securities or the obligor
     under the Indenture, the Sponsor or any of its subsidiaries may at any time
     and from time to time purchase outstanding Capital Securities by tender, in
     the open market or by private agreement.

          5. Voting Rights - Capital Securities. (a) Except as provided under
Sections 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the
Holders of the Capital Securities will have no voting rights. The Administrators
are required to call a meeting of the

                                     A-I-10

<PAGE>

Holders of the Capital Securities if directed to do so by Holders of not less
than 10% in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities.

          (b) Subject to the requirements of obtaining a tax opinion by the
Institutional Trustee in certain circumstances set forth in the last sentence of
this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities, voting separately as a class, have the right to direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct the
Institutional Trustee, as holder of the Debentures, to (i) exercise the remedies
available under the Indenture as the holder of the Debentures, (ii) waive any
past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to
rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be
due and payable or (iv) consent on behalf of all the Holders of the Capital
Securities to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
Debentures where such consent shall be required; provided, however, that, where
a consent or action under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the
holders of greater than a simple majority in principal amount of Debentures (a
"Super Majority") affected thereby, the Institutional Trustee may only give such
consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of not less
than the proportion in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities outstanding
which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures outstanding. If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its
rights under the Debentures after the Holders of a Majority or Super Majority,
as the case may be, in liquidation amount of such Capital Securities have so
directed the Institutional Trustee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a
Holder of the Capital Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly
against the Debenture Issuer to enforce the Institutional Trustee's rights under
the Debentures without first instituting any legal proceeding against the
Institutional Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event
is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay interest or
premium, if any, on or principal of the Debentures on the date the interest,
premium, if any, or principal is payable (or in the case of redemption, the
redemption date), then a Holder of record of the Capital Securities may directly
institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment, on or after the respective
due dates specified in the Debentures, to such Holder directly of the principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities of such Holder. The Institutional Trustee shall notify all Holders of
the Capital Securities of any default actually known to the Institutional
Trustee with respect to the Debentures unless (x) such default has been cured
prior to the giving of such notice or (y) the Institutional Trustee determines
in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders of such Capital Securities, except where the default relates to the
payment of principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. Such notice shall
state that such Indenture Event of Default also constitutes an Event of Default
hereunder. Except with respect to directing the time, method and place of
conducting a proceeding for a remedy, the Institutional Trustee shall not take
any of the actions described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that,
as a result of such action, the Trust will not be classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

<PAGE>

          In the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee, as the holder
of the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture, the Institutional Trustee shall
request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to
such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such
amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation
amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however,
that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of a Super
Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the written
direction of the Holders of not less than the proportion in liquidation amount
of such Securities outstanding which the relevant Super Majority represents of
the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. The Institutional
Trustee shall not take any such action in accordance with the written directions
of the Holders of the Securities unless the Institutional Trustee has obtained
an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of such action, the
Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes.

          A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default will constitute a waiver of
the corresponding Event of Default hereunder. Any required approval or direction
of Holders of the Capital Securities may be given at a separate meeting of
Holders of the Capital Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all
of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent.
The Institutional Trustee will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of
the Capital Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action
by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder
of record of the Capital Securities. Each such notice will include a statement
setting forth the following information (i) the date of such meeting or the date
by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution
proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote
or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions
for the delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the Holders of
the Capital Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel
Capital Securities or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the
Declaration and the terms of the Securities.

          Notwithstanding that Holders of the Capital Securities are entitled to
vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the
Capital Securities that are owned by the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor
shall not entitle the Holder thereof to vote or consent and shall, for purposes
of such vote or consent, be treated as if such Capital Securities were not
outstanding.

          In no event will Holders of the Capital Securities have the right to
vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights are
vested exclusively in the Sponsor as the Holder of all of the Common Securities
of the Trust. Under certain circumstances as more fully described in the
Declaration, Holders of Capital Securities have the right to vote to appoint,
remove or replace the Institutional Trustee and the Delaware Trustee.

          6. Voting Rights - Common Securities. (a) Except as provided under
Sections 6(b), 6(c) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration,
the Common Securities will have no voting rights.

                                     A-I-12

<PAGE>

          (b) The Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in accordance
with Article IV of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any
Administrators.

          (c) Subject to Section 6.7 of the Declaration and only after each
Event of Default (if any) with respect to the Capital Securities has been cured,
waived or otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to
last sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount
of the Common Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time,
method, place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Debenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture
Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waiving any past default and its
consequences that are waivable under the Indenture, or (iii) exercising any
right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures
shall be due and payable, provided, however, that, where a consent or action
under the Indenture would require a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee
may only give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the
Holders of not less than the proportion in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. Notwithstanding this Section
6(c), the Institutional Trustee shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote or consent of the Holders of the Capital
Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee
or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that
for the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action. If the
Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration, to the
fullest extent permitted by law any Holder of the Common Securities may
institute a legal proceeding directly against any Person to enforce the
Institutional Trustee's rights under the Declaration, without first instituting
a legal proceeding against the Institutional Trustee or any other Person.

          Any approval or direction of Holders of the Common Securities may be
given at a separate meeting of Holders of the Common Securities convened for
such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust
or pursuant to written consent. The Administrators will cause a notice of any
meeting at which Holders of the Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of
any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken,
to be mailed to each Holder of the Common Securities. Each such notice will
include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by
which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed
for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of
such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the
delivery of proxies or consents.

          No vote or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities will be
required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities or to distribute
the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the
Securities.

          7. Amendments to Declaration and Indenture. (a) In addition to any
requirements under Section 11.1 of the Declaration, if any proposed amendment to
the Declaration provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i)
any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights
of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise,
or (ii) the Liquidation of the Trust, other than as described in Section 7.1 of
the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities, voting together as
a single class, will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such
amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the
Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities
affected thereby; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal referred to in
clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Capital Securities or only the
Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such
amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of a Majority in liquidation amount of such class of
Securities.

          (b) In the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee as the
holder of the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any
amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the
Institutional Trustee shall request the written direction of the Holders of the
Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or termination and shall
vote with respect to such amendment, modification, or termination as directed by
a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single
class; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require
a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the
written direction of the Holders of not less than the proportion in liquidation
amount of the Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be
made to the Declaration if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the
Trust to be classified for purposes of United States federal income taxation as
other than a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the powers
of the Institutional Trustee or (iii) cause the Trust to be deemed an Investment
Company which is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.

          (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Declaration, the right of any
Holder of the Capital Securities to receive payment of distributions and other
payments upon redemption or otherwise, on or after their respective due dates,
or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder. For the protection and enforcement of the foregoing provision, each and
every Holder of the Capital Securities shall be entitled to such relief as can
be given either at law or equity.

          8. Pro Rata. A reference in these terms of the Securities to any
payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to
each Holder of the Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of
the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate
liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a
payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any
funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the
Capital Securities Pro Rata

                                     A-I-14

<PAGE>

according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities held by
the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Capital
Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the
Holders of the Capital Securities, to each Holder of the Common Securities Pro
Rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Common Securities held
by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all
Common Securities outstanding.

          9. Ranking. The Capital Securities rank pari passu with, and payment
thereon shall be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that, where an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the
Common Securities to receive payment of Distributions and payments upon
liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights of the
Holders of the Capital Securities with the result that no payment of any
Distribution on, or redemption price of, any Common Security, and no other
payment on account of redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common
Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and
unpaid Distributions on all outstanding Capital Securities for all distribution
periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the
redemption price the full amount of such redemption price on all outstanding
Capital Securities then called for redemption, shall have been made or provided
for, and all funds immediately available to the Institutional Trustee shall
first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions on, or the
redemption price of, the Capital Securities then due and payable.

          10. Acceptance of Guarantee and Indenture. Each Holder of the Capital
Securities and the Common Securities, by the acceptance of such Securities,
agrees to the provisions of the Guarantee, including the subordination
provisions therein and to the provisions of the Indenture.

          11. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders of the Securities shall have no,
and the issuance of the Securities is not subject to, preemptive or similar
rights to subscribe for any additional securities.

          12. Miscellaneous. These terms constitute a part of the Declaration.
The Sponsor will provide a copy of the Declaration, the Guarantee, and the
Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Sponsor at its
principal place of business.

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each Capital Security will be payable at a
fixed per annum rate of interest equal to [________]% through the end of the
Fixed Period (as defined in the Declaration), and at a variable per annum rate
of interest, which, with respect to any Distribution Period (as defined herein)
thereafter will be equal to LIBOR (as defined in the Declaration) plus 3.45%
(collectively, the "Coupon Rate"), such rate being the rate of interest payable
on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth
below in respect of an Extension Period, Distributions in arrears for more than
one Distribution Period will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the
applicable Coupon Rate for each such Distribution Period (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes
cash distributions, any such compounded distributions and any Additional
Interest payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is
payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures
held by the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee
has funds legally available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of
Distributions payable for each Distribution Period during the Fixed Period will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and,
thereafter, on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed
in the relevant Distribution Period.

          Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Capital
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 23, May 23, August 23 and
November 23 of each year, commencing on February 23, 2006 (each, a "Distribution
Payment Date"). The Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer
payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period
for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each, an "Extension Period") at any
time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject to the conditions
described below. During any Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue
on the Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest (such accrued interest
and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at
an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate in effect for each such Extension
Period, compounded quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest would have
been payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by
law. No Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment
Date. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay
all Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures; provided,
however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date,
Redemption Date or Special Redemption Date. Prior to the termination of any
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period, provided,
that such period together with all such previous and further consecutive
extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly periods, or extend
beyond the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Special Redemption Date. Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred
Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to
the foregoing requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest (except any
Additional Interest that may be due and payable) shall be due and payable during
an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but interest shall accrue upon
each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable
during such Extension Period until such installment is paid. If Distributions
are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related
Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such
date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after
giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds
legally available for the payment of such distributions in the Property Account
of the

                                      A-1-6

<PAGE>

Trust. The Trust's funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the
Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The
payment of Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the
Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.

          The Capital Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

                          FRONT RANGE CAPITAL TRUST II

          Front Range Capital Trust II, a statutory trust created under the laws
of the State of Delaware (the "Trust"), hereby certifies that Front Range
Capital Corporation (the "Holder") is the registered owner of [ ] common
securities of the Trust representing undivided beneficial interests in the
assets of the Trust (liquidation amount $1,000 per Common Security)(the "Common
Securities"). The Common Securities represented hereby are issued pursuant to,
and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other
terms and provisions of the Common Securities shall in all respects be subject
to, the provisions of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the
Trust, dated as of November 8, 2005, among Alice M. Voss and William A.
Mitchell, Jr., as Administrators, Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee,
Wilmington Trust Company, as Institutional Trustee, the Holder, as Sponsor, and
the holders from time to time of undivided beneficial interests in the assets of
the Trust, including the designation of the terms of the Common Securities as
set forth in Annex I to the Declaration, as the same may be amended from time to
time (the "Declaration"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall
have the meaning given them in the Declaration. The Sponsor will provide a copy

          By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder is bound by the
Declaration and is entitled to the benefits thereunder.

United States federal income tax purposes, the Debentures as indebtedness and
the Common Securities as evidence of undivided beneficial ownership in the
Debentures.

          This Certificate and the Common Securities evidenced hereby are
governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each Common Security will be identical in
amount to the Distributions payable on each Capital Security, which is at a
fixed per annum rate of interest equal to [ ]% through the end of the Fixed
Period (as defined in the Declaration), and at a variable per annum rate of
interest, which, with respect to any Distribution Period (as defined herein)
thereafter will be equal to LIBOR (as defined in the Declaration) plus 3.45%
(collectively, the "Coupon Rate"), such rate being the rate of interest payable
on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth
below in respect of an Extension Period, Distributions in arrears for more than
one Distribution Period will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the
applicable Coupon Rate for each such Distribution Period (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes
cash distributions, any such compounded distributions and any Additional
Interest payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is
payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures
held by the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee
has funds legally available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of
Distributions payable for each Distribution Period during the Fixed Period will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and,
thereafter, on the basis of 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed
in the relevant Distribution Period.

          Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Common
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 23, May 23, August 23 and
November 23 of each year, commencing on February 23, 2006 (each, a "Distribution
Payment Date"). The Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer
payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period
for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each, an "Extension Period") at any
time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject to the conditions
described below. During any Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue
on the Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest (such accrued interest
and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at
an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate in effect for each such Extension
Period, compounded quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest would have
been payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by
law. No Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment
Date. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay
all Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures; provided,
however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date,
Redemption Date or Special Redemption Date. Prior to the termination of any
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period, provided,
that such period together with all such previous and further consecutive
extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly periods, or extend
beyond the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Special Redemption Date. Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred
Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to
the foregoing requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest (except any
Additional Interest that may be due and payable) shall be due and payable during
an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but interest shall accrue upon
each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable
during such Extension Period until such installment is paid. If Distributions
are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related
Extension Period

                                      A-2-4

<PAGE>

terminates to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and records
of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions
on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any
Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds legally available for
the payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The
Trust's funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will
be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of
Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor
pursuant to the Guarantee.

          The Common Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

Re: Purchase of $1,000 stated liquidation amount of Fixed/Floating Rate Capital
    Securities (the "Capital Securities") of Front Range Capital Trust II

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with our purchase of the Capital Securities we confirm
that:

          1. We understand that the Fixed/Floating Rate Capital Securities (the
"Capital Securities") of Front Range Capital Trust II (the "Trust") (including
the guarantee (the "Guarantee") of Front Range Capital Corporation (the
"Company") executed in connection therewith) and the Fixed/Floating Rate Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities due 2036 of the Company (the "Subordinated Debt
Securities") (the Capital Securities, the Guarantee and the Subordinated Debt
Securities together being referred to herein as the "Offered Securities"), have
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the
following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor
account for which we are purchasing the Capital Securities that, if we decide to
offer, sell or otherwise transfer any such Capital Securities, such offer, sale
or transfer will be made only (a) to the Company or the Trust, (b) pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a
qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a "QIB") that purchases for its
own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the
transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (c) pursuant to an exemption
from registration, to an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
subparagraph (a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that
is acquiring Capital Securities for its own account or for the account of such
an accredited investor for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for
offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the
Securities Act, or (d) pursuant to another available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of the foregoing
cases in accordance with any applicable state securities laws and any
requirements of law that govern the disposition of our property. The foregoing
restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the date on which, in the
written opinion of counsel, the Capital Securities are not "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If any
resale or other transfer of the Capital Securities is proposed to be made
pursuant to clause (c) or (d) above, the transferor shall deliver a letter from
the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Institutional
Trustee as Transfer Agent,

                                       B-1

<PAGE>

which shall provide as applicable, among other things, that the transferee is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7)
of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that is acquiring such Securities for
investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act.
We acknowledge on our behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we
are purchasing Securities that the Trust and the Company reserve the right prior
to any offer, sale or other transfer pursuant to clause (c) or (d) to require
the delivery of any opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information
satisfactory to the Trust and the Company. We understand that the certificates
for any Capital Security that we receive will bear a legend substantially to the
effect of the foregoing.

          2. We are an "accredited investor" within the meaning of subparagraph
(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act purchasing for our
own account or for the account of such an "accredited investor," and we are
acquiring the Capital Securities for investment purposes and not with view to,
or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the
Securities Act, and we have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our
investment in the Capital Securities, and we and any account for which we are
acting are each able to bear the economic risks of our or its investment.

          3. We are acquiring the Capital Securities purchased by us for our own
account (or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole
investment discretion and have authority to make, and do make, the statements
contained in this letter) and not with a view to any distribution of the Capital
Securities, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of
our property will at all times be and remain within our control.

          4. In the event that we purchase any Capital Securities or any
Subordinated Debt Securities, we will acquire such Capital Securities having an
aggregate stated liquidation amount of not less than $100,000 or such
Subordinated Debt Securities having an aggregate principal amount not less than
$100,000, for our own account and for each separate account for which we are
acting.

          5. We acknowledge that we either (A) are not a fiduciary of a pension,
profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") (a "Plan"), or an entity whose
assets include "plan assets" by reason of any Plan's investment in the entity
and are not purchasing the Capital Securities on behalf of or with "plan assets"
by reason of any Plan's investment in the entity and are not purchasing the
Capital Securities on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any Plan or (B) are
eligible for the exemptive relief available under one or more of the following
prohibited transaction class exemptions ("PTCEs") issued by the U.S. Department
of Labor: PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14.

          6. We acknowledge that each Plan, by its purchase of the Capital
Securities, will be deemed to have directed the Trust to invest in the junior
subordinated debt securities of the Company, and to have consented to the
appointment of the institutional trustee of the Trust.

                                       B-2

<PAGE>

          7. We acknowledge that the Trust and the Company and others will rely
upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements and agree that if any of our acknowledgments,
representations, warranties and agreements are no longer accurate, we shall
promptly notify the Placement Agent. If we are acquiring any Capital Securities
as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, we represent that we
have sole discretion with respect to each such investor account and that we have
full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements
on behalf of each such investor account.

          You are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably
authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in
any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the
matters covered hereby.

          Section 2.1. Powers and Duties of the Guarantee Trustee.

          (a) This Guarantee shall be held by the Guarantee Trustee for the
     benefit of the Holders of the Capital Securities, and the Guarantee Trustee
     shall not transfer this Guarantee to any Person except a Holder of Capital
     Securities exercising his or her rights pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or to a
     Successor Guarantee Trustee on acceptance by such Successor Guarantee
     Trustee of its appointment to act as Successor Guarantee Trustee. The
     right, title and interest of the Guarantee Trustee shall automatically vest
     in any Successor Guarantee Trustee, and such vesting and cessation of title
     shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed
     and delivered pursuant to the appointment of such Successor Guarantee
     Trustee.

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

          (c) The Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of
     Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may
     have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are
     specifically set forth in this Guarantee, and no implied covenants shall be
     read into this Guarantee against the Guarantee Trustee. In case an Event of
     Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section
     2.4(b)) and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee
     Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
     vested in it by this Guarantee, and use the same degree of care and skill
     in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
     the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

                                        4

<PAGE>

               (i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the
          curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:

                    (A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee
               shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
               Guarantee, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable except
               for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
               specifically set forth in this Guarantee, and no implied
               covenants or obligations shall be read into this Guarantee
               against the Guarantee Trustee; and

                    (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Guarantee
               Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
               truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
               expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
               the Guarantee Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
               Guarantee; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions
               furnished to the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall
               be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not
               on their face they conform to the requirements of this Guarantee;

               (ii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
          judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee
          Trustee, unless it shall be proved that such Responsible Officer of
          the Guarantee Trustee or the Guarantee Trustee was negligent in
          ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment was made;

               (iii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
          any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
          accordance with the written direction of the Holders of not less than
          a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities relating to
          the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
          available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
          conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee; and

               (iv) no provision of this Guarantee shall require the Guarantee
          Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal
          financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the
          exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Guarantee Trustee
          shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such
          funds is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
          Guarantee, or security and indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the
          Guarantee Trustee, against such risk or liability is not reasonably
          assured to it.

          Section 2.2. Certain Rights of the Guarantee Trustee.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1:

               (i) The Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be
          fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any
          resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
          notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note,
          other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document

                                        5

<PAGE>

          believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
          presented by the proper party or parties.

               (ii) Any direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by this
          Guarantee shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer's Certificate.

               (iii) Whenever, in the administration of this Guarantee, the
          Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
          established before taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder,
          the Guarantee Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically
          prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and
          conclusively rely upon an Officer's Certificate of the Guarantor
          which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by
          the Guarantor.

               (iv) The Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to see to any
          recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other writing
          (or any rerecording, refiling or reregistration thereof).

               (v) The Guarantee Trustee may consult with counsel of its
          selection, and the advice or opinion of such counsel with respect to
          legal matters 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 accordance with such advice or opinion. Such counsel
          may be counsel to the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may
          include any of its employees. The Guarantee Trustee shall have the
          right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration
          of this Guarantee from any court of competent jurisdiction.

               (vi) The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to
          exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee at
          the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have
          provided to the Guarantee Trustee such security and indemnity,
          reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee, against the costs,
          expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and the expenses of
          the Guarantee Trustee's agents, nominees or custodians) and
          liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such
          request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be
          requested by the Guarantee Trustee; provided, however, that nothing
          contained in this Section 2.2(a)(vi) shall be taken to relieve the
          Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its
          obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
          Guarantee.

               (vii) The Guarantee 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, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
          indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Guarantee Trustee, in
          its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
          such facts or matters as it may see fit.

               (viii) The Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
          powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
          or through agents, nominees, custodians or attorneys, and the

          care by it hereunder.

               (ix) Any action taken by the Guarantee Trustee or its agents
          hereunder shall bind the Holders of the Capital Securities, and the
          signature of the Guarantee Trustee or its agents alone shall be
          sufficient and effective to perform any such action. No third party
          shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Guarantee
          Trustee to so act or as to its compliance with any of the terms and
          provisions of this Guarantee, both of which shall be conclusively
          evidenced by the Guarantee Trustee's or its agent's taking such
          action.

               (x) Whenever in the administration of this Guarantee the
          Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with

          hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (A) may request instructions from the
          Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities,
          (B) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such
          other action until such instructions are received and (C) shall be
          protected in conclusively relying on or acting in accordance with such
          instructions.

               (xi) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any action
          taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and
          reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
          rights or powers conferred upon it by this Guarantee.

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

          Section 2.3. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Guarantee.

          The recitals contained in this Guarantee shall be taken as the
statements of the Guarantor, and the Guarantee Trustee does not assume any

     Securities may, voting or consenting as a class, on behalf of the Holders
     of all of the Capital Securities, waive any past Event of Default and its
     consequences. Upon such waiver, any such Event of Default shall cease to
     exist, and shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
     Guarantee, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
     default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

          Section 2.5. Events of Default; Notice.

          (a) The Guarantee Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence
     of an Event of Default, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to
     the Holders of the Capital Securities, notices of all Events of Default
     actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, unless
     such defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice, provided,
     however, that the Guarantee Trustee shall be protected in withholding such
     notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee in
     good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
     interests of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

          (b) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
     Event of Default unless the Guarantee Trustee shall have received written
     notice thereof from the Guarantor or a Holder of the Capital Securities, or
     a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee charged with the
     administration of this Guarantee shall have actual knowledge thereof.

                                    GUARANTEE

          Section 4.1. Guarantee.

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

          (b) The Guarantor hereby also agrees to assume any and all Obligations
     of the Issuer and in the event any such Obligation is not so assumed,
     subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Guarantor hereby
     irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Beneficiary the full
     payment, when and as due, of any and all Obligations to such Beneficiaries.
     This Guarantee is intended to be for the Beneficiaries who have received
     notice hereof.

          Section 4.2. Waiver of Notice and Demand.

          The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee and
of any liability to which it applies or may apply, presentment, demand for
payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other
Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment,
notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands.

          Section 4.3. Obligations Not Affected.

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

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

          (b) the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of all or any
     portion of the Distributions, Redemption Price, Special Redemption Price,
     Liquidation Distribution or any other sums payable under the terms of the
     Capital Securities or the extension of time for the performance of any
     other obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Capital
     Securities (other than an extension of time for the payment of the
     Distributions, Redemption Price, Special Redemption Price, Liquidation
     Distribution or other sums payable that results from the extension of any
     interest payment period on the Debentures or any extension of the maturity
     date of the Debentures permitted by the Indenture);

                                       10

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

          (g) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute
     a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the
     intent of this Section 4.3 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder
     shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

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

          Section 4.4. Rights of Holders.

          (a) The Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
     Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of
     conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee
     in respect of this Guarantee or to direct the exercise of any trust or
     power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee; provided,
     however, that (subject to Sections 2.1 and 2.2) the Guarantee Trustee shall
     have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Guarantee
     Trustee shall determine that the actions so directed would be unjustly
     prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction or if the
     Guarantee Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action or
     proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Guarantee
     Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
     committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible
     Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would
     involve the Guarantee Trustee in personal liability.

          (b) Any Holder of Capital Securities may institute a legal proceeding
     directly against the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee Trustee's rights
     under this Guarantee, without first instituting a legal proceeding against
     the Issuer, the Guarantee Trustee or any other Person. The Guarantor waives
     any right or remedy to require that any such action be brought first
     against the Issuer, the Guarantee Trustee or any other Person before so
     proceeding directly against the Guarantor.

          Section 4.5. Guarantee of Payment.

                                       11

<PAGE>

          This Guarantee creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

          Section 4.6. Subrogation.

          The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the
Holders of Capital Securities against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid
to such Holders by the Guarantor under this Guarantee; provided, however, that
the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by applicable provisions
of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any right that it may acquire by way
of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases
as a result of payment under this Guarantee, if, after giving effect to any such
payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee. If any amount
shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the
Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over
such amount to the Holders.

          Section 4.7. Independent Obligations.

          The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are
independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Capital
Securities and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor
hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee
notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a)
through (g), inclusive, of Section 4.3 hereof.

          Section 4.8. Enforcement.

          A Beneficiary may enforce the Obligations of the Guarantor contained
in Section 4.1(b) directly against the Guarantor, and the Guarantor waives any
right or remedy to require that any action be brought against the Issuer or any
other person or entity before proceeding against the Guarantor.

          The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights (if any) of any
Beneficiary against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the
Beneficiaries by the Guarantor under this Guarantee; provided, however, that the
Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by applicable provisions of
law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of
subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as
a result of payment under this Guarantee, if, after giving effect to such
payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee.

                                    ARTICLE V

                    LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION

          Section 5.1. Limitation of Transactions.

          So long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if (a) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or (b) the Guarantor
shall have selected an Extension Period as provided in the Declaration and such
period, or any extension thereof, shall have commenced and be continuing, then
the Guarantor may not (x) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or
redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with

                                       12

<PAGE>

respect to, any of the Guarantor's capital stock or (y) make any payment of
principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem
any debt securities of the Guarantor that rank pari passu in all respects with
or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than (i) payments under this
Guarantee, (ii) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of
capital stock of the Guarantor (A) in connection with any employment contract,
benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more
employees, officers, directors, or consultants, (B) in connection with a
dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in connection
with the issuance of capital stock of the Guarantor (or securities convertible
into or exercisable for such capital stock), as consideration in an acquisition
transaction entered into prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default or the
applicable Extension Period, (iii) as a result of any exchange or conversion of
any class or series of the Guarantor's capital stock (or any capital stock of a
subsidiary of the Guarantor) for any class or series of the Guarantor's capital
stock or of any class or series of the Guarantor's indebtedness for any class or
series of the Guarantor's capital stock, (iv) the purchase of fractional
interests in shares of the Guarantor's capital stock pursuant to the conversion
or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or
exchanged, (v) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any
stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property
under any stockholder's rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant thereto, or (vi) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options
or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of
such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the
dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock).

          Section 5.2. Ranking.

          This Guarantee will constitute an unsecured obligation of the
Guarantor and will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all
present and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Guarantor. By their acceptance thereof, each Holder of Capital Securities agrees
to the foregoing provisions of this Guarantee and the other terms set forth
herein.

          The right of the Guarantor to participate in any distribution of
assets of any of its subsidiaries upon any such subsidiary's liquidation or
reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that
subsidiary, except to the extent the Guarantor may itself be recognized as a
creditor of that subsidiary. Accordingly, the Guarantor's obligations under this
Guarantee will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future
liabilities of the Guarantor's subsidiaries, and claimants should look only to
the assets of the Guarantor for payments thereunder. This Guarantee does not
limit the incurrence or issuance of other secured or unsecured debt of the
Guarantor, including Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, under any indenture
or agreement that the Guarantor may enter into in the future or otherwise.

                                   TERMINATION

          Section 6.1. Termination.

          This Guarantee shall terminate as to the Capital Securities (i) upon
full payment of the Redemption Price or the Special Redemption Price, as the
case may be, of all Capital Securities then outstanding, (ii) upon the
distribution of all of the Debentures to the Holders of all of the Capital
Securities or (iii) upon full payment of the amounts payable in accordance with
the Declaration upon dissolution of the Issuer. This Guarantee will continue to
be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
Holder of Capital Securities must restore payment of any sums paid under the
Capital Securities or under this Guarantee.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 7.1. Exculpation.

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

          (b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good
     faith upon the records of the Issuer or the Guarantor and upon such
     information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Issuer or the
     Guarantor by any Person as to matters the Indemnified Person reasonably
     believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence
     and who, if selected by such Indemnified Person, has been selected with
     reasonable care by such Indemnified Person, including information,
     opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets,
     liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence
     and amount of assets from which Distributions to Holders of Capital
     Securities might properly be paid.

          Section 7.2. Indemnification.

          (a) The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person for, and
     to hold each Indemnified Person harmless against, any and all loss,
     liability, damage, claim or expense incurred without negligence or willful
     misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Person, arising out of or in
     connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
     hereunder, including but not limited to the costs and expenses (including
     reasonable legal fees and expenses) of the Indemnified Person defending
     itself against, or investigating, any claim or liability in connection with
     the exercise or performance of any

                                       14

<PAGE>

     of the Indemnified Person's powers or duties hereunder. The obligation to
     indemnify as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall survive the resignation or
     removal of the Guarantee Trustee and the termination of this Guarantee.

          (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section
     7.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person
     will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Guarantor
     under this Section 7.2, notify the Guarantor in writing of the commencement
     thereof; but the failure so to notify the Guarantor (i) will not relieve
     the Guarantor from liability under paragraph (a) above unless and to the
     extent that the Guarantor did not otherwise learn of such action and such
     failure results in the forfeiture by the Guarantor of substantial rights
     and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Guarantor from
     any obligations to any Indemnified Person other than the indemnification
     obligation provided in paragraph (a) above. The Guarantor shall be entitled
     to appoint counsel of the Guarantor's choice at the Guarantor's expense to
     represent the Indemnified Person in any action for which indemnification is
     sought (in which case the Guarantor shall not thereafter be responsible for
     the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified
     Person or Persons except as set forth below); provided, however, that such
     counsel shall be satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding
     the Guarantor's election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified
     Person in any action, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ
     separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Guarantor shall bear
     the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i)
     the use of counsel chosen by the Guarantor to represent the Indemnified
     Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the
     actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include
     both the Indemnified Person and the Guarantor and the Indemnified Person
     shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
     to it and/or other Indemnified Persons which are different from or
     additional to those available to the Guarantor, (iii) the Guarantor shall
     not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
     represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of
     the institution of such action or (iv) the Guarantor shall authorize the
     Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
     Guarantor. The Guarantor will not, without the prior written consent of the
     Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
     judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
     proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be
     sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Persons are actual or
     potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
     compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified
     Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or
     proceeding.

          Section 7.3. Compensation; Reimbursement of Expenses.

          The Guarantor agrees:

          (a) to pay to the Guarantee Trustee from time to time such
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as the parties shall
agree to from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust); and

                                       15

<PAGE>

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

          The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Guarantee Trustee and the termination of this Guarantee.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 8.1. Successors and Assigns.

          All guarantees and agreements contained in this Guarantee shall bind
the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives of the
Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Holders of the Capital
Securities then outstanding. Except in connection with any merger or
consolidation of the Guarantor with or into another entity or any sale, transfer
or lease of the Guarantor's assets to another entity, in each case to the extent
permitted under the Indenture, the Guarantor may not assign its rights or
delegate its obligations under this Guarantee without the prior approval of the
Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities.

          Section 8.2. Amendments.

          Except with respect to any changes that do not adversely affect the

case no consent of Holders will be required), this Guarantee may be amended only
with the prior approval of the Holders of not less than a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Capital Securities. The provisions of the Declaration
with respect to amendments thereof shall apply equally with respect to
amendments of the Guarantee.
