                               TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

             (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or
accountable for 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,

claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's negligence or willful
misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; and

             (a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person

Declaration shall not be liable to the Trust or to any other

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

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, are agreed by the parties hereto
to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person;

            (b)     unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

                    (i)      whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises
between Covered Persons; or

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

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

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

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

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

4.3   Indemnification

            (a)     (i)      The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by law, any Company 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 he is or was a Company Indemnified Person against expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 his
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 Company
Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he 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 his conduct was unlawful.

                  (ii)     The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by law, any Company 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 he is or was a Company Indemnified Person against
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Trust, except that no such indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Company
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)    Any indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of
this Section 4.3(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Debenture
Issuer only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the Company Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances
because the Company Indemnified Person has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such determination shall be made
(1) by the Administrative Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
such Administrative Trustees who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a
quorum of disinterested Administrative Trustees so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.

                  (iv)     Expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by a Company Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in
paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.3(a) shall be paid by the Debenture
Issuer in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified
Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Debenture Issuer as authorized in this Section
4.3(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Debenture
Issuer if a determination is

                                      -10-

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

                  (v)      The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 4.3(a)
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement,
vote of shareholders or disinterested directors of the Debenture Issuer 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 4.3(a) shall be
deemed to be provided by a contract between the Debenture Issuer and each
Company Indemnified Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this
Section 4.3(a) is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 4.3(a)
shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.

                  (vi)     The Sponsor or the Trust may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Company Indemnified Person
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Debenture
Issuer would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the
provisions of this Section 4.3(a).

                  (vii)    For purposes of this Section 4.3(a), 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 4.3(a) with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he
would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had
continued.

                  (viii)   The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 4.3(a) shall, unless otherwise
provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a Company Indemnified

                                      -11-

Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators
of such a person.

          (b) The Sponsor agrees to indemnify the (i) the Property Trustee and
the Delaware Trustee, (ii) any Affiliate of the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, and (iii) any officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners,
employees, representatives, nominees, custodians or agents of the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee (each of the Persons in (i) through (iii) being
referred to as a "Fiduciary Indemnified Person") for, and to hold each Fiduciary
Indemnified Person harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
of defending itself against, or investigating, any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder. The provisions of this Section 4.3(b) shall survive the termination
of this Declaration or the resignation or removal of the Property Trustee and
the Delaware Trustee.

4.4  Outside Businesses

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

<PAGE>

past Event of Default in respect of the Preferred Securities and its
consequences, provided that, if the underlying Event of Default under the
Indenture:

          (i)   is not waivable under the Indenture, the Event of Default under
the Declaration shall also not be waivable; or

          (ii)  requires the consent or vote of greater than a majority in
principal amount of the holders of the Debentures (a "Super Majority") to be
waived under the Indenture, the Event of Default under the Declaration may only
be waived by the vote of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation
amount of the Preferred Securities that the relevant Super Majority represents
of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding.

     The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(a) shall be in lieu of Section
316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the
Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and the
Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. Upon such waiver, any such
default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the
Preferred Securities 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 an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities or impair any right consequent thereon. Any waiver by the Holders of
the Preferred Securities of an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities shall also be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Holders of the
Common Securities of any such Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities for all purposes of this Declaration without any further act, vote,
or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities.

     (b)  The Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities may, by vote, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Common
Securities, waive any past Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities and its consequences, provided that, if the underlying Event of
Default under the Indenture:

          (i)   is not waivable under the Indenture, except where the Holders of
the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under the
Declaration as provided below in this Section 2.6(b), the Event of Default under
the Declaration shall also not be waivable; or

          (ii)  requires the consent or vote of a Super Majority to be waived,
except where the Holders of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such
Event of Default under the Declaration as provided below in this Section 2.6(b),
the Event of Default under the Declaration may only be waived by the vote of the
Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities that the

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures outstanding;

provided further, each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived
any such Event of Default and all Events of Default with respect to the Common
Securities and its consequences until all Events of Default with respect to the
Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and until
such Events of Default have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the
Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will
have the right to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms of
the Securities. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall be in lieu
of Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such
Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act are hereby
expressly excluded from this Declaration and the Securities, as permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(b),
upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default
with respect to the Common Securities 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 with respect to
the Common Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.

     (c)  A waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture by the Property
Trustee at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred Securities constitutes
a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under this Declaration. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(c) shall be in lieu of Section
316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the
Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and the
Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 2.7   Event of Default; Notice

     (a)  The Property Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of an
event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property
Trustee, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders of the
Securities, notices of all such defaults with respect to the Securities, unless
such defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term
"defaults" for the purposes of this Section 2.7(a) being hereby defined to be an
Event of Default as defined in the Indenture, not including any periods of grace
provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of any notice provided
therein); provided that, except for a default in the payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debentures or in the payment of any
sinking fund installment established for the Debentures, the

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

Property Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities.
Such notice shall state that such Event of Default also constitutes a
Declaration event of default.

     (b)  The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
default except:

          (i)  a default under Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) of the Indenture; or

          (ii) any default as to which the Property Trustee shall have received

rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Debentures under the Indenture and,
if an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property
Trustee occurs and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall, for the benefit of
Holders of the

                                      -18-

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

Trustees or any committee thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered

in person or by telephone) of a Regular Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Regular Trustee 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 Regular Trustees may
be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Regular Trustees present
(whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote with respect to such
matter, provided that a Quorum is present, or without a meeting, by the
unanimous written consent of the Regular Trustees. In the event there is only

consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Property 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 Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as
the case may be, shall be the successor of the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise

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 Regular Trustee; and any Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the actual date of execution of such
Certificate, shall be the Regular Trustees of the Trust, although at the date of
the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such a
Regular Trustee. Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may
be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular
Trustees, or any one of them, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may

deem appropriate, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule
or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to
conform to usage.

     (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 subject to Section 10.1(b) with respect to the Common Securities.

     (e)  Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a Preferred
Security Beneficial Owner 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, the Preferred Securities Guarantee and the
Indenture.

     The Regular Trustees shall provide for the registration of Certificates and
of transfers of Certificates, which will be effected without charge but only
upon payment (with such indemnity as the Regular Trustees may require) in
respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation
to it. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the
Regular Trustees shall cause one or more new Certificates to be issued in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees. Every Certificate surrendered
for registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Regular Trustees duly executed by the
Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Regular
Trustees. A transferee of a Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and

interest in such Certificate or in the Securities represented by such
Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or not the Trust shall have
actual or other notice thereof.

Security Beneficial Owner's interests in such Global Certificate(s), except as

delivery of such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on and
shall be protected in

                                      -37-

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 who has been selected 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 10.3   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 Property Trustee under the Trust

                                      -39-

<PAGE>

Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties
and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

   (b)    Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

          (i)  whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between any
Covered Persons; or

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

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

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

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

SECTION 10.4   Indemnification

   (a)(i) The Debenture Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by
law, any Company 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 he is or was a
Company Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
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 his 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 Company Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which
he 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 his conduct was unlawful.

                   (ii) The Debenture Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by law, any Company 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 he is or was a Company Indemnified Person against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he 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 Company
Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Trust unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State 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 a Company 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 10.4(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified, to the full extent permitted by law, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.

                   (iv) Any indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of
this Section 10.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Debenture
Issuer only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the Company Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs
(i) and (ii). Such determination shall be made (1) by the Regular Trustees by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of

                                      -41-

<PAGE>

such Regular Trustees who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding,
(2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of
disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (3) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.

     (v) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by a Company Indemnified Person in defending a civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to
in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) shall be paid by the
Debenture Issuer in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Company
Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Debenture Issuer as authorized
in this Section 10.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made
by the Debenture Issuer if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i)
by the Regular Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Regular
Trustees, (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a
quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion or (iii) the Common Security Holder of the Trust,
that, based upon the facts known to the Regular Trustees, counsel or the Common
Security Holder at the time such determination is made, such Company Indemnified
Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any
criminal proceeding, that such Company Indemnified Person believed or had
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any
advance be made in instances where the Regular Trustees, independent legal
counsel or Common Security Holder reasonably determine that such person
deliberately breached his duty to the Trust or its Common or Preferred Security
Holders.

     (vi) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 10.4(a) 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 Debenture Issuer or Preferred
Security Holders of the Trust or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. All
rights to indemnification under this Section 10.4(a) shall be deemed to be
provided by a contract between the Debenture Issuer and each Company Indemnified
Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.4(a) is in
effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 10.4(a) shall not affect any
rights or obligations then existing.

                                      -42-

<PAGE>

                  (vii) The Debenture Issuer or the Trust may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Company Indemnified
Person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
Debenture Issuer would have the power to indemnify him against such liability
under the provisions of this Section 10.4(a).

                  (viii) For purposes of this Section 10.4(a), 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 10.4(a) with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he
would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had
continued.

                  (ix) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) shall, unless otherwise provided
when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
Company Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

             (b)  The Debenture Issuer agrees to indemnify the (i) Property
Trustee, (ii) the Delaware Trustee, (iii) any Affiliate of the Property Trustee
and the Delaware Trustee, and (iv) any officers, directors, shareholders,
members, partners, employees, representatives, custodians, nominees or agents of
the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (each of the Persons in (i)
through (iv) being referred to as a "Fiduciary Indemnified Person") for, and to
hold each Fiduciary Indemnified Person harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out
of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder. The provisions of this Section 10.4(b) shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Declaration or the resignation or removal of any Trustee.

     Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Property
Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any
nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to
the businessof the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall have
no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent ventures or
the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture,
even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful
or improper. No Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee, or the
Property 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 Property 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 Property Trustee may engage or be
interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any
Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or
act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of
the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

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

SECTION 11.2      Certain Accounting Matters

     (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Regular Trustees
shall keep, or cause to be kept, 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. The Trust shall use the accrual method of accounting for
United States federal income tax purposes. The books of account and the records
of the Trust shall be examined by and reported upon as of the end of each Fiscal
Year of the Trust by a firm of independent certified public accountants selected
by the Regular Trustees.

     (b) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be prepared and delivered to each
of the Holders of Securities, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year

Trust, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet of
the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements of
income or loss.

each of the Holders of Securities, any 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

the Property Trustee Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be deposited
in the Property Trustee Account. The sole signatories for such accounts shall be
designated by the Regular Trustees; provided, however, that the Property Trustee
shall designate the signatories for the Property Trustee Account.

SECTION 11.4      Withholding

     The Trust and the Regular Trustees shall comply with all withholding
requirements under United States federal, state and local law. The Trust shall
request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such forms or certificates
as are necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to each
Holder, and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by
the Trust to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its
withholding obligations. The Regular Trustees 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 Trust 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 in the amount of the withholding to the Holder. In the event of any
claimed over withholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the
applicable

                                      -45-

from actual Distributions made, the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions by
the amount of such withholding.

     Written Consent

     (a) Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called at any
time by the Regular Trustees (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 Preferred Securities are listed
or admitted for trading. The Regular Trustees shall call a meeting of the
Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders of at least 10% in
liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be given by
delivering to the Regular Trustees one or more calls in writing stating that the
signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the general
or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders of
Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Certificates held by

Securities specified 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 Securities:

         (i)   notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders of
Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and not more than 60

the Holders of Securities is permitted or required under this Declaration or the
rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed or
admitted for trading, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting
of the Holders of Securities. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the
Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing
setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders of Securities owning
not less than the minimum amount of Securities in liquidation amount that would
be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders
of 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 Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The Regular

for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the
Trust within the time specified by the Regular Trustees;

         (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

                                      -48-

<PAGE>

proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the
date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be
revocable at the pleasure of the Holder of 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;

         (iii) each meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall be conducted
by the Regular Trustees or by such other Person that the Regular Trustees may
designate; and

         (iv)  unless the Business Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms of the
Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules of any stock exchange
on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or trading, otherwise
provides, the Regular Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall establish all
other provisions relating to meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice

                                     ANNEX I

                                    TERMS OF
                   ____% TRUST ORIGINATED PREFERRED SECURITIES
                    ____% TRUST ORIGINATED COMMON SECURITIES

     Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust,
dated as of ________ __, _____, (as amended from time to time, the
"Declaration"), the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences
and other terms and provisions of the Preferred 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 or, if not defined in such
Declaration, as defined in the Prospectus referred to below:

1.   Designation and Number

     (a)  Preferred Securities. Preferred Securities of the Trust with an
aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of
___________ dollars (_____________) and a liquidation amount with respect to the
assets of the Trust of $___ per preferred security, are hereby designated, for
the purposes of identification only, as "____ % Trust Originated Preferred
Securities SM `TOPrSSM')" (the "Preferred Securities"). The Preferred Security
Certificates evidencing the Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-l 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 Preferred
Securities are listed.

     (b)  Common Securities. Common Securities of the Trust with an aggregate
liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of _________________
dollars ($___________) and a liquidation amount with respect to the assets of
the Trust of $___ per common security, are hereby designated, for the purposes
of identification only, as "___ % Trust Originated Common Securities" (the
"Common Securities"). The Common Security Certificates evidencing the Common
Securities shall be 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.

2.   Distributions

     (a)  Distributions payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate per
annum of ____ % (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $___ per
Security,

                                      A-1

<PAGE>

such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the
Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear
interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Coupon Rate (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes
such cash distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A
Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of
the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property
Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for
any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution period on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter than
a full quarterly Distribution period for which Distributions are computed.
Distributions will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
per 90-day quarter.

     (b)  Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from
________ __, _____, and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on _________,
_______, ___________ and _______________ of each year, commencing on ________
__, _____,, except as otherwise described below. The Debenture Issuer has the
right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by extending the
interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not
exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (each an "Extension Period"), during which
Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable on the Debentures,
provided that no Extension Period shall last beyond the date of maturity of the
Debentures. As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be
deferred. Despite such deferral, quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue
with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon
Rate compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period. Prior to the
termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further
extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with
all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive
quarters. Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the
end of the Extension Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and
the payment of all amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new
Extension Period, subject to the above requirements.

     (c)  Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof
as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record
dates. While the Preferred Securities remain in book-entry only form, the
relevant record dates shall be one Business Day prior to the relevant payment
dates which payment dates correspond to the interest payment dates on the
Debentures. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of
the Declaration, each such payment in respect of the Preferred Securities will
be made as described under the heading

                                      A-2

<PAGE>

"Description of the Preferred Securities -- Book-Entry Only Issuance -- DTC" in
the Prospectus dated ________ __, _____, (the "Prospectus"), of the Trust
included in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of the Sponsor and the Trust.
The relevant record dates for the Common Securities shall be the same record
date as for the Preferred Securities. If the Preferred Securities shall not
continue to remain in book-entry only form, the relevant record dates for the
Preferred Securities shall conform to the rules of any securities exchange on
which the securities are listed and, if none, shall be selected by the Regular
Trustees, which dates shall be at least one Business Day but less than 60
Business Days before the relevant payment dates, which payment dates correspond
to the interest payment dates on the Debentures. 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, 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 date on which Distributions are payable on the Securities
is not a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution 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 is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made
on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and
effect as if made on such date.

     (d)  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 any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or
termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Securities on the date of the
dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of
Securities, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust, an
amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $___ per
Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment
(such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with
such dissolution, winding-up or termination, after satisfaction of liabilities
to creditors of the Trust, Debentures in an aggregate 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

                                      A-3

<PAGE>

equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Securities, shall be
distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange for
such Securities.

     If, upon any such dissolution, 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 the Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis.

4.   Redemption and Distribution

     (a)  Upon the repayment of the Debentures in whole or in part, whether at
maturity or upon redemption (either at the option of the Debenture Issuer or
pursuant to a Special Event as described below), the proceeds from such
repayment or payment shall be simultaneously applied to redeem Securities having
an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures so repaid or redeemed at a redemption price of $___ per Security plus
an amount equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon at the date of the
redemption, payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). Holders will be given not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice of such redemption, except in the case
of payments upon maturity.

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

     (c)  If a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as defined below,
and each a "Special Event") shall occur and be continuing the Regular Trustees
shall, except in the case of a redemption described in this Section 4(c),
dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of creditors, cause Debentures held
by the Property Trustee, having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate stated liquidation amount of, with an interest rate identical to the
Coupon Rate of, and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid
Distributions on, and having the same record date for payment as the Securities,
to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of such
Holders' interests in the Trust on a Pro Rata basis, within 90 days following
the occurrence of such Special Event (the "90 Day Period"); provided, however,
that in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, as a condition of such
dissolution and distribution, the Regular Trustees shall have received an
opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such
matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on published
revenue rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the Holders
of the Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal
income tax purposes as a result of the dissolution of the Trust and the
distribution of Debentures, and provided, further, that, if at the time there is
available to the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within

                                      A-4

<PAGE>

the 90 Day Period, the Special Event by taking some ministerial action, such as
filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable
measure that has no adverse effect on the Trust, the Debenture Issuer, the
Sponsor or the Holders of the Securities ("Ministerial Action"), the Trust will
pursue such Ministerial Action in lieu of dissolution.

     If (a) a Tax Event has occurred and is continuing, and (i) the Debenture
Issuer has received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of a nationally
recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result
of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Debenture
Issuer would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Debentures for
United States federal income tax purposes even if the Debentures were
distributed to the Holders of Securities in liquidation of such Holders'
interests in the Trust as described in this Section 4(c), or (ii) the Regular
Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition
Opinion cannot be delivered to the Trust, or (b) if an Investment Company Event
has occurred and is continuing, then the Debenture Issuer shall have the right
at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, to redeem the
Debentures in whole or in part for cash within 90 days following the occurrence
of such Tax Event, or Investment Company Event, as the case may be and,
following such redemption, Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so redeemed shall be
redeemed by the Trust at the Redemption Price on a Pro Rata basis; provided,
however, that, if at the time there is available to the Trust the opportunity to
eliminate, within such 90 day period, such Special Event by taking some
Ministerial Action, the Trust or the Debenture Issuer will pursue such
Ministerial Action in lieu of redemption.

     "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion
of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters
to the effect that on or after the date of the Prospectus, as a result of (a)
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 therefor or therein, or (b) any amendment to, or
change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by
any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, which
amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which
interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken,
in each case on or after the date of the Prospectus, there is more than an
insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is or will be within 90 days of the date
thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to interest
accrued or received on the Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90
days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes,
duties or other governmental charges, or (iii) interest payable by the Debenture
Issuer

                                      A-5

<PAGE>

to the Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof
will not be, deductible, in whole or in part, by the Debenture Issuer for United
States federal income tax purposes.

     "Investment Company Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have
received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent counsel experienced
in practice under the Investment Company Act (an "Investment Company Event
Opinion") that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation
or a written change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any
legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a "Change
in 1940 Act Law"), there is a more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is
or will be considered an Investment Company which is required to be registered
under the Investment Company Act, which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes effective
on or after the date of the Prospectus.

     On and from the date fixed by the Regular Trustees for any distribution of
Debentures and dissolution of the Trust: (i) the Securities will no longer be
deemed to be outstanding, (ii) The Depository Trust Company (the "Depository")
or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), as the record
Holder of the Preferred Securities, will receive a registered global certificate
or certificates representing the Debentures to be delivered upon such
distribution and (iii) any certificates representing Securities, except for
certificates representing Preferred Securities held by the Depository or its
nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), will be deemed to
represent beneficial interests in the Debentures having an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of, with an interest
rate identical to the Coupon Rate of, and accrued and unpaid interest equal to
accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Securities until such certificates are
presented to the Debenture Issuer or its agent for transfer or reissue.

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

     (e)  If the Debentures are distributed to holders of the Securities,
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Debenture Issuer will use its best
efforts to have the Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such
other exchange as the Preferred Securities were listed immediately prior to the
distribution of the Debentures.

     (f)  "Redemption or Distribution Procedures."

                                      A-6

<PAGE>

                  (i)   Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution
of 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(f)(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 Securities. Each
Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of Securities
at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the
Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of
either 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 Preferred Securities, it being understood that, in
respect of Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held of record by
the Depository or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee)
or any nominee, the distribution of the proceeds of such redemption will be made
to each Clearing Agency Participant (or Person on whose behalf such nominee
holds such securities) in accordance with the procedures applied by such agency
or nominee.

                  (iii) If 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 (A) while the Preferred Securities are in book-entry only
form, with respect to the Preferred Securities, by 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the redemption date, provided that the Debenture Issuer has paid the
Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related
redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the Property Trustee will deposit
irrevocably with the Depository or its nominee (or successor Clearing Agency or
its nominee) funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price with
respect to the Preferred Securities and will give the Depository irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the
Preferred Securities, and (B) with respect to Preferred Securities issued in
definitive form and Common Securities, provided that the Debenture Issuer has
paid the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the
related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the Property Trustee will pay
the relevant Redemption Price to the Holders of such Securities by check mailed
to the address of the relevant Holder appearing on the books and records of the
Trust on the redemption

                                      A-7

<PAGE>

date. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given and funds
deposited as required, if applicable, then immediately prior to the close of
business on the date of such deposit, or on the redemption date, as applicable,
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
Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price. Neither the
Regular Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be
registered the transfer of any Securities that have been so called for
redemption. If any date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a Business
Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on
the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or
other payment in respect of any such delay) 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
Property Trustee or by the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the relevant
Securities Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities will continue to accrue
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.

                  (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the
Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to (A) in respect of the Preferred
Securities, the Depository or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or
its nominee) if the Global Certificate(s) have been issued or, if Definitive
Preferred Security Certificates have been issued, to the Holder 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), provided the
acquirer 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 Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market
or by private agreement.

5.       Voting Rights - Preferred Securities

         (a) Except as provided under Sections 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise
required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred Securities
will have no voting rights.

         (b) Subject to the requirements set forth in this paragraph, the
Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, voting
separately as a class

                                      A-8

<PAGE>

may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Property Trustee under 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) waive any past
default and its consequences that is waivable under Section 5.10 of the
Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that
the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable. The Property
Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote
of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to directing

Trustee's rights under the Declaration, without first instituting a legal
proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other Person.

     Any approval or direction of Holders of Common Securities may be given at a
separate meeting of Holders of Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a
meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written
consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which
Holders of 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

adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities,
whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the
dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than as described in

outstanding Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or
proposal (but not on any other amendment or proposal) and such amendment or
proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at
least a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities, voting together as a
single class; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal referred to in
clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred 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; and provided further, that no such amendment or proposal which would
reduce the principal amount or the distribution rate or change the payment dates
or maturity of the Preferred Securities shall be permitted without the consent
of each holder of Preferred Securities.

     (b) In the event the consent of the Property Trustee as the holder of the
Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination on the Indenture or the Debentures, the Property
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 Preferred Securities, and if no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, a majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however, that where a
consent under the Indenture would require the consent of the holders of greater

the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities
which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures outstanding; provided, further, that the Property Trustee
shall not take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of
the Securities under this Section 7(b) unless the Property Trustee has obtained

federal income tax the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor
trust on account of such action.

Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held

occurs and is continuing under the Indenture in respect of the Debentures held
