         (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustees are
authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the
Trust so that the Trust shall not be deemed to be an "investment company"
required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, shall be classified

or this Trust Agreement, that each of the Depositor and the Trustees determines

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 (and without any reduction of interest or any other payment in respect of
any such acceleration), in each case with the same force and effect as if made
on such date (each date on which distributions are payable in accordance with
this Section 401(a), a "Distribution Date").

         (b) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in
the Trust Property, and, the Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be
payable at a rate of ____% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust
Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for any full period shall be

         be redeemed, the identification and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of
         the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed;

                  (v) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall
         become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and
         that Distributions thereon shall cease to accumulate on and after said
         date, except as provided in Section 402(d); and

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

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

         (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of
any Trust Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Redemption Date, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 402(c), shall, with
respect to Trust Preferred Securities held in global form, deposit with the
Clearing Agency for such Trust Preferred Securities, to the extent available
therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give
such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
Redemption Price to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities to pay to the
appropriate beneficial holders. With respect to Trust Securities that are not
held in global form, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 402(c), shall
deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption
Price and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to
pay the Redemption Price to the record holders thereof upon surrender of their
Trust Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust
Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust
Securities as they appear on the Securities Register on the relevant record
dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have
been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit,
(i) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities so called for
redemption shall cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive the
Redemption Price, (ii) such Securities shall cease to be Outstanding, (iii) the
Clearing Agency for the Trust Preferred Securities or its nominee, as the
registered Holder of the Global Trust Preferred Securities Certificate, shall
receive a registered global certificate or certificates representing the
Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution with respect to Trust
Preferred Securities held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee, and (iv) any
Trust Securities Certificates not held by the Clearing Agency for the Trust
Preferred Securities or its nominee as specified in clause (iii) above will be
deemed to represent Debentures having a principal amount equal to the stated
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities represented thereby and bearing
accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid
Distributions on such Trust Securities until such certificates are presented to
the Securities Registrar for transfer or reissuance. In the event that any date
on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of
the Redemption Price payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect

                                       16
<PAGE>   23
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 (and without any reduction of interest or any other payment in respect of
any such acceleration), in each case with the same force and effect as if made
on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of
any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and
not paid either by the Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee,
Distributions on such Trust Securities shall continue to accumulate, at the then
applicable rate, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust
for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in
which case the actual payment date shall be the date fixed for redemption for
purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

         (e) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be
made to the record holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register on
the relevant record date, which shall be the date 15 days prior to the relevant
Redemption Date.

         (f) Subject to Section 403(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust
Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a
pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and
the Trust Preferred Securities. The particular Trust Preferred Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities not
previously called for redemption, by such method (including, without limitation,
by lot) as the Property Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may
provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $25 or an
integral multiple of $25 in excess thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of Trust
Preferred Securities of a denomination larger than $25. The Property Trustee
shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Trust Preferred
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Trust Preferred
Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be
redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Trust Preferred
Securities shall relate, in the case of any Trust Preferred Securities redeemed
or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Liquidation Amount of
Trust Preferred Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

         (a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if
applicable) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as
applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 402(f), pro rata among the Common
Securities and the Trust Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of
the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or
Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including
Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or Redemption Price of, any Common
Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or
other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in
cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including Additional Amounts,
if applicable) on all Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities for all
Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment
of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all
Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities then called for redemption, shall have
been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the

                                       17
<PAGE>   24
Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all
Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or the
Redemption Price of, Trust Preferred Securities then due and payable.

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

         SECTION 404 PAYMENT PROCEDURES.

         Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable)
in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be made by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the
Securities Register or, if the Trust Preferred Securities are held by a Clearing
Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately
available funds, which will credit the relevant accounts on the applicable
Distribution Dates. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made
in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the
Common Securityholder.

         SECTION 405 TAX RETURNS AND REPORTS.

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

         SECTION 406 PAYMENT OF TAXES, DUTIES, ETC. OF THE TRUST.

         Upon receipt under the Debentures of Additional Interest (as defined in
Section 1.1 of the Indenture), the Property Trustee, at the direction of an
Administrative Trustee or the Depositor, shall promptly pay any taxes, duties or
governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed
on the Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority.

         SECTION 407 PAYMENTS UNDER INDENTURE.

                                       18
<PAGE>   25
         Any amount payable hereunder to any record holder of Trust Preferred
Securities shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such
Holder has directly received under the Indenture pursuant to Section 513(b) or
(c) hereof.

                                    ARTICLE V
                          TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES

         SECTION 501 INITIAL OWNERSHIP.

         Upon the creation of the Trust and the contribution by the Depositor
pursuant to Section 203 and until the issuance of the Trust Securities, and at
any time during which no Trust Securities are Outstanding, the Depositor shall
be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.

         SECTION 502 THE TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

         The Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $25 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $25 in excess
thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in denominations
of $25 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The Trust Securities
Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile
signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust
Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust
Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall
become a Securityholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Securityholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust
Securities Certificate in such transferee's name pursuant to Sections 504 and
511.

         SECTION 503 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF TRUST SECURITIES
CERTIFICATES.

         (a) On the Closing Date, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust
Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in
Sections 204 and 205, to be executed on behalf of the Trust by at least one of
the Administrative Trustees and delivered to or upon the written order of the
Depositor, signed by its chief executive officer, president, any vice president
or its treasurer without further corporate action by the Depositor, in
authorized denominations.

         (b) A Trust Securities Certificate shall not be valid until
authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Property
Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Trust Securities
Certificate has been authenticated under this Trust Agreement. Each Trust
Security Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. Upon the
written order of the Trust signed by one of the Administrative Trustees, the
Property Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Trust
Securities Certificates. The Property Trustee may appoint an Authenticating
Agent acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the Trust Securities. An
Authenticating Agent may authenticate the Trust Securities whenever the Property

                                       19
<PAGE>   26
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Trust Agreement to authentication by
the Property Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating
Agent has the same rights as the Property Trustee to deal with the Company or
the Trust.

         SECTION 503A GLOBAL TRUST PREFERRED SECURITY.

         (a) Any Trust Preferred Securities issued under this Trust Agreement
shall be registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency and
delivered to such custodian therefor, and such Global Trust Preferred Security
shall constitute a single Trust Preferred Security for all purposes of this
Trust Agreement.

         (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no
Global Trust Preferred Security may be exchanged for Trust Preferred Securities
registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee
unless (i) the Depositary notifies the Debenture Trustee that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as a depositary for such Trust Preferred Securities and the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor depositary, (ii) the
Depositor executes and delivers to the Trustee a written order stating that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iii) there
shall have occurred and be continuing a Debenture Event of Default.

         (c) If a Trust Preferred Security is to be exchanged in whole or in
part for a beneficial interest in a Global Trust Preferred Security, then either
(i) such Global Trust Preferred Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or
cancellation as provided in this Article V or (ii) the Liquidation Amount
thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof
to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount of such other
Trust Preferred Securities of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of
the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the
rules and procedures of the Depositary for such Global Trust Preferred Security
(the "Applicable Procedures"), shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its
authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records.
Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Trust Preferred Security by
the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Administrative Trustees shall execute and the Property Trustee shall, subject to
Section 504(b) and as otherwise provided in this Article V, authenticate and
deliver any Trust Preferred Securities issuable in exchange for such Global
Trust Preferred Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. The Property Trustee shall not be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

         (d) Every Trust Preferred Security executed, authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
Global Trust Preferred Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this
Article V or otherwise, shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in the
form of, and shall be, a Global Trust Preferred Security, unless such Global
Trust Preferred Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the
Clearing Agency for such Global Trust Preferred Security or a nominee thereof.

         (e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as the registered owner of a
Global Trust Preferred Security, shall be considered the Holder of the Trust
Preferred Securities represented by such Global Trust Preferred Security for all
purposes under this Trust Agreement and the

                                       20
<PAGE>   27
Trust Preferred Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Trust Preferred Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Procedures and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall not be entitled to
receive physical delivery of any such Trust Preferred Securities in definitive
form and shall not be considered the Holders thereof under this Trust Agreement.
Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in the Global Trust Preferred
Securities shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be
effected only through, records maintained by the Clearing Agency or its nominee.
Neither the Property Trustee, the Securities Registrar nor Depositor shall have
any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.

         (f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Trust
Preferred Security shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall
be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and
the Clearing Agency.

         SECTION 504 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF TRUST PREFERRED
SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

         (a) The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 508, a register or registers for the
purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and, subject to the
provisions of Section 503A, transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred
Securities Certificates (herein referred to as the "Securities Register") in
which the registrar designated by the Depositor (the "Securities Registrar"),
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for
the registration of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and Common
Securities Certificates (subject to Section 510 in the case of the Common
Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Trust
Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Property Trustee shall
be the initial Securities Registrar.

         (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 503A, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Trust Preferred Securities Certificate at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 508, the Administrative Trustees
or anyone of them shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Preferred Securities
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount
dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The
Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any Trust
Preferred Securities that have been called for redemption. At the option of a
record holder, Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be exchanged for
other Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the
same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the
Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 508.

         (c) Every Trust Preferred Securities Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, subject to the provisions
of Section 503A, shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Property Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly
executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Trust
Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Property Trustee
in accordance with its customary practice. The Trust shall not be required to
(i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any

                                       21
<PAGE>   28
Trust Preferred Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 calendar days before the date of mailing of a notice of redemption of any
Trust Preferred Securities called for redemption and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing; or (ii) register the transfer of or
exchange any Trust Preferred Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Trust Preferred Securities
being redeemed in part.

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

         (e) Trust Preferred Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in
part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Trust
Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any transfer or purported
transfer of any Trust Preferred Security not made in accordance with this Trust
Agreement shall be null and void. A Trust Preferred Security that is not a
Global Trust Preferred Security may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a
Person who takes delivery in the form of another Trust Preferred Security that
is not a Global Trust Preferred Security as provided in Section 504(a). A
beneficial interest in a Global Trust Preferred Security may be exchanged for a
Trust Preferred Security that is not a Global Trust Preferred Security only as
provided in Section 503A.

         SECTION 505 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN TRUST SECURITIES
CERTIFICATES.

         If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust
Securities Certificate; and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the
Trust shall execute and the Property Trustee in the case of a Trust Preferred
Securities Certificate shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust
Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor
and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities
Certificate under this Section 505, the Administrative Trustees or the
Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 505
shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the
assets of the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

         SECTION 506 PERSONS DEEMED SECURITYHOLDERS.

         The Trustees, the Paying Agent and the Securities Registrar shall treat
the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in
the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for
the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all

                                       22
<PAGE>   29
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustees nor the Securities Registrar
shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 507 ACCESS TO LIST OF SECURITYHOLDERS' NAMES AND ADDRESSES.

         At any time when the Property Trustee is not acting as the Securities
Registrar, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Property Trustee (a) within five Business Days of each
record date, a list, in such form as the Property Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Securityholders as of the most recent
record date; and (b) promptly after receipt by any Administrative Trustee or the
Depositor of a request therefor from the Property Trustee in order to enable the
Property Trustee to discharge its obligations under this Trust Agreement, in
each case to the extent such information is in the possession or control of the
Administrative Trustees or the Depositor and is not identical to a previously
supplied list or has not otherwise been received by the Property Trustee in its
capacity as Securities Registrar. The rights of Securityholders to communicate
with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust
Agreement or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights and
obligations of the Property Trustee shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture
Act. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Trust Securities Certificate, and
each owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Trust Preferred Securities
shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee
or the Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its
name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was
derived.

         SECTION 508 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

         The Administrative Trustees shall maintain, or cause to be maintained,
in the City of New York, New York or Wilmington, Delaware or other location
designated by the Administrative Trustees, an office or offices or agency or
agencies where Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The
Administrative Trustees initially designate the Corporate Trust Office of the
Property Trustee, Wilmington Trust Company, as the principal corporate trust
office for such purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written
notice to the Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location
of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

         SECTION 509 APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.

         The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Securityholders from the
Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have
the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose
of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in
their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its
obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent
shall initially be the Property Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by the
Property Trustee, and acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the
Depositor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be

                                       23
<PAGE>   30
permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the
Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Depositor. In the event
that the Property Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor
Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative
Trustees shall appoint a successor that is acceptable to the Property Trustee
and the Depositor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust
company). The Administrative Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent or
any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees to execute
and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent
or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent,
such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if
any, held by it for payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of
the Securityholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Securityholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the
Property Trustee and, upon removal of a Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall
also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions
of Sections 801, 803 and 806 shall apply to the Property Trustee also in its
role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee shall act as Paying
Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed
hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any
co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

         SECTION 510 OWNERSHIP OF COMMON SECURITIES BY DEPOSITOR.

         On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial
and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted
bylaw, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities (other than a transfer in
connection with a merger or consolidation of the Depositor into another
corporation pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Indenture) shall be void. The
Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to
the Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE
EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 5.10 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT."

         SECTION 511 TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

         (a) Upon their original issuance, Trust Preferred Securities
Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Trust
Preferred Securities Certificates which will be deposited with or on behalf of
the Clearing Agency and registered in the name of the Clearing Agency's nominee.
Unless and until it is exchangeable in whole or in part for the Trust Preferred
Securities in definitive form, a Global Trust Preferred Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Clearing Agency to a nominee of the
Clearing Agency or by a nominee of the Clearing Agency to the Clearing Agency or
another nominee of the Clearing Agency or by the Clearing Agency or any such
nominee to a successor of such Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor.

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

         SECTION 512 NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY.

         To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Trust Preferred Securities
are represented by a Global Trust

                                       24
<PAGE>   31
Preferred Securities Certificate, the Trustees shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall
have no obligations to provide notice to the owners of the beneficial interest
in the Global Trust Preferred Securities.

         SECTION 513 RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

         (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 209, and
the Securityholders shall not have any right or title therein other than the
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their
Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described in
Section 513(c) below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving
only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The
Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights. When issued and
delivered to Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities against payment of the
purchase price therefor, the Trust Preferred Securities shall be fully paid and
nonassessable interests in the Trust. The Holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.

         (b) For so long as any Trust Preferred Securities remain Outstanding,
if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the
holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures
fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and
payable, the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Trust
Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in
writing to the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee; and upon any such
declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the
Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment
of principal and interest on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the
extent provided in the Indenture.

         (c) For so long as any Trust Preferred Securities remain Outstanding,
upon a Debenture Event of Default arising from the failure to pay interest or
principal on the Debentures, any Holder of any Trust Preferred Securities then
Outstanding shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to
directly institute proceedings for enforcement of payment to such Holders of
principal and of interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of such Holders.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                    ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

         SECTION 601 LIMITATIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS.

         (a) Except as provided in this Section 601, in Sections 513, 810 and
1002 and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Trust
Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise
control the administration, operation and management of the Trust or the
obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or
contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as
to constitute the Securityholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association.

                                       25
<PAGE>   32
         (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on
behalf of the Trust, the Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture
Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with
respect to such Debentures; (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under
Article VII of the Indenture; (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a
declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable;
or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture
or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case,
obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities; provided
however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of
each Holder of outstanding Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be
given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder
of Trust Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action
previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Outstanding
Trust Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the
Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify each
Holder of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of any notice of default
received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures. In addition
to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall, at
the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such
matters to the effect that the Trust shall continue to be classified as a
grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation for United
States federal income tax purposes on account of such action.

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

         SECTION 602 NOTICE OF MEETINGS.

         Notice of all meetings of the Trust Preferred Securityholders, stating
the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 1008 to each Trust Preferred Securityholder of
record, at his registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days
before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the
meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting.
Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

         SECTION 603 MEETINGS OF CAPITAL SECURITYHOLDERS.

         (a) No annual meeting of Securityholders is required to be held. The
Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of Securityholders to
vote on any matter in respect of which Trust Preferred Securityholders are
entitled to vote upon the written request of the Trust

Preferred Securityholders of 25% of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities
(based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount) and the Administrative Trustees
or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of
Trust Preferred Securityholders to vote on any matters as to which the Trust
Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote.

         (b) Trust Preferred Securityholders of record of 33% of the Outstanding
Trust Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount),
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of
Securityholders.

         (c) If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the
Trust Preferred Securityholders of record present, in person or by proxy,
holding more than 50% of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred
Securities held by such Trust Preferred Securityholders of record present,
either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the
Securityholders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of
affirmative votes.

         SECTION 604 VOTING RIGHTS.

         Securityholders shall be entitled to one vote for each $25.00 of
Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust Securities (with any fractional
multiple there of rounded up or down as the case may be to the closest integral
multiple) in respect of any matter as to which such Securityholders are entitled
to vote.

         SECTION 605 PROXIES, ETC.

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

         SECTION 606 SECURITYHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.

         Any action which may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be
taken without a meeting and without prior notice if Securityholders holding a
majority of all outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount) entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger
proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust
Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount).

         SECTION 607 RECORD DATE FOR VOTING AND OTHER PURPOSES.

                                       27
<PAGE>   34
         For the purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to
notice of and to vote at any meeting, or to act by written consent, or to
participate in any Distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a
record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the
purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee
may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any
meeting of Securityholders or the payment of Distribution or other action, as
the case maybe, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the
Securityholders of record for such purposes.

         SECTION 608 ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

         (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be
given, made or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one
or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Securityholders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 801) conclusive in favor
of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section 608.

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

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

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

         (e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled hereunder
to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do
so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust
Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so
pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation
Amount.

         SECTION 609 INSPECTION OF RECORDS.

         Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property
Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection at the principal
executive office of the Trust (as indicated in Section 202) by record holders of
the Trust Securities during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably
related to such record holder's interest as a record holder.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                    TRUSTEES

         SECTION 801 CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

         The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided by
this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust
Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust
Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their
duties

                                       31
<PAGE>   38
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. None
of the Administrative Trustees or the Delaware Trustee shall be liable for their
acts or omissions hereunder except as a result of their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Property Trustee's liability shall be determined under
the Trust Indenture Act. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the
liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 801. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an
Administrative Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities
relating thereto to the Trust or to the Securityholders, such Administrative
Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such
Trustee's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The
provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties
and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees otherwise existing at law or in
equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Securityholders to replace such
other duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees.

         (a) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in
respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient
revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a
Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each
Securityholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it shall look
solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally
available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees are
not personal liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust
Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This
Section 801(b) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth
elsewhere in his Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the
Trust Indenture Act.

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

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

                  (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
         any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
         accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a
         majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities relating to the
         time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
         available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
         conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

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

                                       32
<PAGE>   39
                  (iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest
         on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the
         Depositor and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated
         from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account
         maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 301 and except
         to the extent otherwise required by law; and

                  (v) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for
         monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the
         Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor
         shall the Property Trustee be liable for the negligence, default or
         misconduct of the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor.

         SECTION 802 CERTAIN NOTICES.

         (a) Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008, notice of
such Event of Default to the Securityholders, the Administrative Trustees and
the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. For
purposes of this Section 802 the term "Event of Default" means any event that
is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

         (b) The Administrative Trustees shall transmit, to the Securityholders
in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008, notice of the
Depositor's election to begin or further extend an Extended Interest Payment
Period on the Debentures (unless such election shall have been revoked) within
the time specified for transmitting such notice to the holders of the Debentures
pursuant to the Indenture as originally executed.

         SECTION 803 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 801:

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

         (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the
Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action; or
(ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property
Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with other provisions contained
herein; or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any
provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the
Trust Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this
Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor
requesting written instructions of the Depositor as to the course of action to
be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or
to refrain from taking, by the Depositor; provided, however, that if the
Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Depositor within 10
Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter
period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent

                                       33
<PAGE>   40
practicable shall not be less than 2 Business Days), it may, but shall be under
no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this
Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Securityholders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability
except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;

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

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

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

         (f) the Property Trustee may, at the expense of the Trust, consult with
counsel of its choice (which counsel may be counsel to the Depositor 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 Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek
instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement from any
court of competent jurisdiction;

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

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

         (i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its
agents or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for
its own negligence or recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or
attorney appointed by it hereunder;

         (j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property
Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to
enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder the Property
Trustee:

                                       34
<PAGE>   41
                  (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Trust
         Securities which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the
         same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would
         be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust
         Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action;

                  (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking
         such other action until such instructions are received; and

                  (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such
         instructions; and

         (k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is
discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement. No provision of or
any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or
imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the
Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with
applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right,
power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the
Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

         SECTION 804 NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.

         The Recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificate
shall be taken as the statements of the Trust, and the Trustees do not assume

for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Debentures.

         SECTION 805 MAY HOLD SECURITIES.

individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust
Securities and, subject to Sections 808 and 813 and except as provided in the
definition of the term "Outstanding" in Article I, may otherwise deal with the
Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee or such other
agent.

         SECTION 806 COMPENSATION; INDEMNITY; FEES.

         The Depositor agrees:

         (a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time compensation for all

trust); in the case of the Property Trustee, as set forth in a written agreement
between the Depositor and the Property Trustee;

         (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the

                                       35

or willful misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative Trustees or the

attributable to his, her or its gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct); and

         (c) to indemnify each of the Trustees or any predecessor Trustee for,
and to hold the Trustees harmless against, any loss, damage, claims, liability,
penalty or expense of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this Trust Agreement,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to such Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (or,
in the case of the Administrative Trustees or the Delaware Trustee, any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to his, her or its gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct).

         SECTION 807 CORPORATE PROPERTY TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY OF
TRUSTEES.

         (a) There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee
may be the same Person. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 807,
the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
conditions so published. If at any time the Property Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 807, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
therein after specified in this Article VIII.

         (b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee
shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal
entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that
entity.

         (c) There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who
is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware; or (ii) a
legal entity with its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and
that otherwise meets the requirements of applicable Delaware law that shall act
through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.

         SECTION 808 CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

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

         SECTION 809 CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEE.

                                       36
<PAGE>   43
         (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the
Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Property may at the time be located, the Depositor shall have power to appoint
and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall for
such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and
performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint,
one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust
Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the
instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity
aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 809. If the Depositor does not
join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to
do so, or in case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. Any
co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 809 shall
either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of
the United States; or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business
in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to
bind such entity.

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

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

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

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

                  (iii) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in
         writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor,
         may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate
         trustee appointed under this Section 809, and, in case a Debenture
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee
         shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such
         co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the
         Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property

                                       37
<PAGE>   44
         Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the
         execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
         necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A
         successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed
         may be appointed in the manner in this Section 809.

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

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

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

         SECTION 810 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

         (a) No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee")
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 811.

         (b) Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Trust Securities by giving
written notice thereof to the Securityholders. If the instrument of acceptance
by the successor Trustee required by Section 811 shall not have been delivered
to the Relevant Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Depositor,
any court of competent jurisdiction of the appointment of a successor Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities.

         (c) Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Common
Securityholder. If a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may
be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant
Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An
Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Common Securityholder at any time.

         (d) If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for
any cause, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common Securityholder
delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or
Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and the successor
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 811. If the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee
as the case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, the Trust Preferred Securityholders, by Act of the
Securityholders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Trust
Preferred Securities delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly
appoint a successor Relevant

                                       38
<PAGE>   45
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and such
successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 811.
If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the
Common Securityholder delivered to an Administrative Trustee, shall promptly
appoint a successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees with
respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and such successor Administrative
Trustee or Administrative Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements
of Section 811. If no successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust
Securities shall have been so appointed by the Common Securityholder or the
Trust Preferred Securityholders and accepted appointment in the manner required
by Section 811, any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of Trust
Securities on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated may petition a
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities.

         (e) The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 1008 and shall give notice to
the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant
Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property
Trustee.

         (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is
a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Depositor, incompetent
or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity
may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of remaining Administrative Trustees if
there are at least two of them; or (b) otherwise by the Depositor (with the
successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirements
for Administrative Trustees set forth in Section 807).

         SECTION 811 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

         (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, the retiring
Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Depositor) and each successor Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an
instrument hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or
desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant
Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust and upon the
execution and delivery of such instrument 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 with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust; 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 Trust
Securities and the Trust.

         (b) Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust
shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Relevant

                                       39
<PAGE>   46
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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

         SECTION 812 MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO
BUSINESS.

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

         SECTION 813 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST DEPOSITOR OR
TRUST.

         If and when the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be or
become directly or indirectly a creditor of the Depositor or the Trust (or any
other obligor upon the Debentures or the Trust Securities), excluding any
creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act,
the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be
subject to and shall take all actions necessary in order to comply with the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Depositor or Trust (or any such other obligor).

         SECTION 814 REPORTS BY PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

         (a) Not later than July 15 of each year commencing with July 15, 2001,
the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Securityholders in accordance with
Section 1008, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of May 15 with
respect to:

                  (i) its eligibility under Section 807 or, in lieu thereof, if
         to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said
         Section, a written statement to such effect; and

                  (ii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as
         Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken
         by the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder
         which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion
         materially affects the Trust Securities.

         (b) In addition, the Property Trustee shall transmit to Securityholder
such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust
Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times
and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

                                       40
<PAGE>   47

         (c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission
to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with the Nasdaq National Market
System, and each national securities exchange or other organization upon which
the Trust Securities are listed, and also with the Commission and the Depositor.

         SECTION 815 REPORTS TO THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE.

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

         SECTION 816 EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

         Each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the
Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee (i) such evidence of compliance with
any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that
relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture
Act, consisting of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each
containing the statements required by Sections 314(c) and 314(e) of the Trust
Indenture Act and (ii) such certificates required by Section 314(a)(4) of the
Trust Indenture Act.

         SECTION 817 NUMBER OF TRUSTEES.

         (a) The number of Trustees shall be five, provided that the Holder of
all of the Common Securities by written instrument may increase or decrease the
number of Administrative Trustees. The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee
may be the same Person.

         (b) If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of
Administrative Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 817(a), or if the
number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 817(a), a vacancy shall
occur. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with
Section 810.

         (c) The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate
to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrative Trustees
shall occur until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrative
Trustee in accordance with Section 810, the Administrative Trustees in office,
regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to the Administrative Trustees and
shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this
Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 818 DELEGATION OF POWER.

                                       41
<PAGE>   48
         (b) The Administrative Trustees shall have power to delegate from time
to time to such of their number or to the Depositor the doing of such things and
the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names
of the Administrative Trustees or otherwise as the Administrative Trustees may
deem expedient, to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable
law or contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein.

         SECTION 819 VOTING.

         Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, the consent or
approval of the Administrative Trustees shall require consent or approval by not

                                   ARTICLE IX
                       TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

         SECTION 901 TERMINATION UPON EXPIRATION DATE.

         Unless earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on,
_____________, 2031 (the "Expiration Date") subject to distribution of the Trust
Property in accordance with Section 904.

         SECTION 902 EARLY TERMINATION.

         The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early
Termination Event," the occurrence of which shall cause a dissolution of the
Trust:

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

         (b) delivery of written direction to the Property Trustee by the
Depositor at any time (which direction is wholly optional and within the
discretion of the Depositor, subject to Depositor having received prior approval
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System if so required under
applicable guidelines, policies or regulations thereof) to dissolve the Trust
and distribute the Debentures to Securityholders in exchange for the Trust
Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 904;

         (c) the redemption of all of the Trust Preferred Securities in
connection with the redemption of all of the Debentures (whether upon a
Debenture Redemption Date or the maturity of the Debentures); or

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

         SECTION 903 TERMINATION.

         The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the
Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of
the following:

                                       42
<PAGE>   49
         (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Securityholders upon
the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 904, or upon the redemption of
all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 402, of all amounts required to
be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of the Trust Securities;

         (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust;

         (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative
Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with
respect to the Trust or the Securityholders; and

         (d) the filing of a Certificate of Cancellation by one of the
Administrative Trustees under the Business Trust Act.

         SECTION 904 LIQUIDATION.

         (a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b), or (d)
of Section 902 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated
by the Trustees as expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be possible by
distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as
provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a Like Amount of Debentures,
subject to Section 904(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property
Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at
such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of
liquidation shall:

                  (i) state the Liquidation Date;

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

                  (iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics
         by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for
         Debentures, or, if Section 904(d) applies, receive a Liquidation
         Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee
         shall deem appropriate.

         (b) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, in order to effect
the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to
Securityholders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such
distribution (which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation
Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of
a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem
appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the
Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.

         (c) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, after the
Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities shall no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding; (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures shall be
issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates upon surrender of such
certificates to the Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange; (iii)
the Depositor shall use its reasonable efforts to have the Debentures listed or
quoted on the Nasdaq National Stock Market or other automated quotation system
or on such securities exchange or exchanges as the Trust Preferred Securities
are then listed or traded; (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates

                                       43
<PAGE>   50
not so surrendered for exchange shall be deemed to represent a Like Amount of
Debentures, accruing interest at the rate and for the period provided for in the
Debentures from the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution was made on
such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered
(and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or
principal shall be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect
to such Debentures); and (v) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust
Securities shall cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive
Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.

         (d) In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 904, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the
manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be
wound-up by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee
determines. In such event, the Securityholders shall be entitled to receive out
of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Securityholders, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable
law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus
accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount
being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such, winding-up the
Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has
insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable
by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based
upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Common Securities shall be entitled
to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding-up pro rata
(determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Trust Preferred Securities, except
that, if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trust
Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities.

         SECTION 905 MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, AMALGAMATIONS OR REPLACEMENTS OF
THE TRUST.

         The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person, except pursuant
to Section 904 or this Section 905. At the request of the Depositor, with the
consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of
the Trust Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
the Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided, that (i)
such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the
Trust with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities; or (b) substitutes for the
Trust Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms
as the Trust Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") so long as the
Successor Securities rank the same as the Trust Preferred Securities rank in
priority with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption
and otherwise; (ii) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor
entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties as the Property
Trustee as the Holder of the Debentures; (iii) the Successor Securities are
listed or quoted, or any Successor Securities shall be listed or quoted upon
notification of issuance, on any automated quotation system or securities
exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed or

quoted, if any; (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences
and privileges of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities (including any
Successor Securities) in any material respect; (v) such successor entity has a
purpose substantially identical to that of the Trust; (vi) prior to such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the

adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the

Investment Company Act; and (vii) the Depositor owns all of the Common
Securities of such success or entity and guarantees the obligations of such

Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be
replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially
as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate,

         SECTION 1001 LIMITATION OF RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

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

         SECTION 1002 AMENDMENT.

provided in Section 811 with respect to acceptance of appointment by a successor
Trustee; (ii) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein
or therein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or therein,
or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Trust Agreement, that shall not be inconsistent with the other
provisions of this Trust Agreement; or (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any
provisions of this Trust Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to
ensure that the Trust shall be classified for United States federal income tax
purposes as a grantor trust at all times that any Trust Securities are
outstanding or to ensure that the Trust shall not be required to register as an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act; provided, however, that
in the case of clause (ii),

                                       45

such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Securityholder, and any such amendments of this Trust Agreement shall become
effective when notice thereof is given to the Securityholders.

         (b) Except as provided in Section 601(c) or Section 1002(c) hereof, any
provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended by the Trustees and the
Depositor (i) with the consent of Trust Securityholders representing not less
than a majority (based upon Liquidation Amounts) of the Trust Securities then
Outstanding; and (ii) upon receipt by the Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the
Trustees in accordance with such amendment shall not affect the Trust's status
as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or the Trust's
exemption from status of an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act.

         (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
Trust Agreement, without the consent of each affected Securityholder, this Trust

any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a
specified date; or (ii) restrict the right of a Securityholder to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date; notwithstanding
any other provision herein, without the unanimous consent of the
Securityholders, this paragraph (c) of this Section 1002 may not be amended.

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

         (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary,
without the consent of the Depositor, this Trust Agreement may not be amended in

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

         (g) Neither the Property Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be

         SECTION 1009 AGREEMENT NOT TO PETITION.

         Each of the Trustees and the Depositor agree for the benefit of the
Securityholders that, until at least one year and one day after the Trust has
been terminated in accordance with Article IX, they shall not file, or join in
the filing of, a petition against the Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law (including, without limitation, the United
States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended) (collectively, "Bankruptcy Laws") or
otherwise join in the commencement of any proceeding against the Trust under any
Bankruptcy Law. In the event the Depositor or any of the Trustees takes action
in violation of this Section 1009, the Property Trustee agrees, for the benefit
of Securityholders, that at the expense of the Depositor (which expense shall be
paid prior to the filing), it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or
otherwise properly contest the filing of such petition by the Depositor or such
Trustee against the Trust or the commencement of such action and raise the
defense that the Depositor or such Trustee has agreed in writing not to take
such action and should be stopped and precluded therefrom. The provisions of
this Section 1009 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement.

         (c) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision hereof which is required to be included in this Trust Agreement by any
of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control. If any provision of this Trust Agreement modifies or excludes any
provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the
latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Trust Agreement as so modified
or to be excluded, as the case may be. The application of the Trust Indenture
Act to this Trust Agreement shall not affect the nature of the Trust Securities
as equity securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets
of the Trust.

         SECTION 1011 ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF TRUST AGREEMENT, GUARANTEE AND
INDENTURE.

         THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A TRUST SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN

<PAGE>   11

pursuant to Section 5.4(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

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 Trust Preferred
Securities.

       (c) The Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall

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:

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

               (A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee shall be
       determined solely by the express provisions of this Guarantee, 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 that by any provision hereof are
       specifically required to be furnished to the Guarantee Trustee, the
       Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
       whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Guarantee;

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

                                       7
<PAGE>   12

          (iii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
       action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
       with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in
       Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities relating to the
       time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
       available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
       conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee; 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 or
       liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
       Guarantee or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee,
       against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 3.2 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF GUARANTEE TRUSTEE.

       (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1:

       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 Guarantor;

          (iv) the Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording,
       filing or registration of any instrument (or any rerecording, refiling or

       or opinion of such counsel with respect legal matters shall be full and
       complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,

       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

<PAGE>   13

       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 that, nothing contained in
       this Section 3.2(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

       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

       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 respect to

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
