        Section
          2.1. Name. The
          Trust is named “Wilshire Statutory Trust II,” as such name may be modified from
          time to time by the Administrators following written notice to the Holders
          of
          the Securities. The Trust’s activities may be conducted under the name of the
          Trust or any other name deemed advisable by the Administrators.

         

        Section
          2.2. Office. The
          address of the principal office of the Trust is c/o Wilmington Trust Company,
          Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-1600.
          On at least 10 Business Days written notice to the Holders of the
          Securities, the Administrators may designate another principal office,
          which
          shall be in a state of the United States or in the District of
          Columbia.

         

        Section
          2.3. Purpose. The
          exclusive purposes and functions of the Trust are (a) to issue and sell the
          Securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of
          the
          Trust, (b) to invest the gross proceeds from such sale to acquire the
          Debentures, (c) to facilitate direct investment in the assets of the Trust
          through issuance of the Common Securities and the Capital Securities and
          (d) except as otherwise limited herein, to engage in only those other
          activities necessary or incidental thereto. The Trust shall not borrow
          money,
          issue debt or reinvest proceeds derived from investments, pledge any of
          its
          assets, or otherwise undertake (or permit to be undertaken) any activity
          that
          would cause the Trust not to be classified for United States federal income
          tax
          purposes as a grantor trust.

        Section
          2.4. Authority. Except
          as specifically provided in this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee
          shall
          have exclusive and complete authority to carry out the purposes of the
          Trust. An
          action taken by a Trustee in accordance with its powers shall constitute
          the act
          of and serve to bind the Trust. In dealing with the Trustees acting on
          behalf of
          the Trust, no Person shall be required to inquire into the authority of
          the
          Trustees to bind the Trust. Persons dealing with the Trust are entitled
          to rely
          conclusively on the power and authority of the Trustees as set forth in
          this
          Declaration. The Administrators shall have only those ministerial duties
          set
          forth herein with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust and
          are not
          intended to be trustees or fiduciaries with respect to the Trust or the
          Holders.
          The Institutional Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated
          except as provided in Section
          2.6,
          to
          perform those duties assigned to the Administrators.

         

        Section
          2.5. Title
          to Property of the Trust. Except
          as provided in Section
          2.8
          with
          respect to the Debentures and the Property Account or as otherwise provided
          in
          this Declaration, legal title to all assets of the Trust shall be vested
          in the
          Trust. The Holders shall not have legal title to any part of the assets
          of the
          Trust, but shall have an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of
          the
          Trust.

         

        Section
          2.6. Powers
          and Duties of the Trustees and the Administrators.

          behalf of the Trust (either acting alone or together with any or all of
          the
          Administrators) any documents that the Administrators have the power to
          execute
          pursuant to this Declaration;

         

        (I) the
          taking of any action incidental to the foregoing as the Institutional Trustee
          may from time to time determine is necessary or advisable to give effect
          to the
          terms of this Declaration for the benefit of the Holders (without consideration
          of the effect of any such action on any particular Holder);

         

        (J) to
          establish a record date with respect to all actions to be taken hereunder
          that
          require a record date be established, including Distributions, voting rights,
          redemptions and exchanges, and to issue relevant notices to the Holders

        (ii)  As
          among the Trustees and the Administrators, the Institutional Trustee shall
          have
          the power, duty and authority to act on behalf of the Trust with respect
          to the
          following matters:

         

        (A) the
          establishment of the Property Account;

         

        (B) the
          receipt of the Debentures;

         

        (C) the

        (G) the

        (J) to
          take all action that may be necessary for the preservation and the continuation
          of the Trust’s valid existence, rights, franchises and privileges as a statutory
          trust under the laws of the State of Delaware.

         

        (iii)  The
          Institutional Trustee shall have the power and authority to act on behalf
          of the
          Trust with respect to any of the duties, liabilities, powers or the authority
          of
          the Administrators set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i)(D), (E) and (F) herein
          but shall not have a duty to do any such act unless specifically requested
          to do
          so in writing by the Sponsor, and shall then be fully protected in acting
          pursuant to such written request; and in the event of a conflict between
          the
          action of the Administrators and the action of the Institutional Trustee,
          the
          action of the Institutional Trustee shall prevail.

         

        (b)  So
          long as this Declaration remains in effect, the Trust (or the Trustees
          or
          Administrators acting on behalf of the Trust) shall not undertake any business,
          activities or transaction except as expressly provided herein or contemplated

          authorized by this Declaration, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange,
          mortgage, pledge, set-off or otherwise dispose of any of the Trust Property
          or
          interests therein, including to Holders, except as expressly provided herein,

          Trust to fail or cease to qualify as a “grantor trust” for United States federal
          income tax purposes or (y) to require the trust to register as an Investment
          Company under the Investment Company Act, (iv) incur any indebtedness for
          borrowed money or issue any other debt or (v) take or consent to any action
          that would result in the placement of a lien on any of the Trust Property.
          The
          Institutional Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Trust,
          defend
          all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any lien on
          any of
          the Trust Property adverse to the interest of the Trust or the Holders
          in their
          capacity as Holders.

         

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

         

        (i)  the
          taking of any action necessary to obtain an exemption from the Securities
          Act;

         

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

         

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

         

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

        (d)  Notwithstanding
          anything herein to the contrary, the Administrators and the Holders of
          a
          Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized
          and
          directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the Trust so
          that
          the Trust will not (i) be deemed to be an Investment Company required to
          be
          registered under the Investment Company Act, and (ii) fail to be classified
          as a “grantor trust” for United States federal income tax purposes. The
          Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the
          Common
          Securities shall not take any action inconsistent with the treatment of
          the
          Debentures as indebtedness of the Debenture Issuer for United States federal
          income tax purposes. In this connection, the Administrators and the Holders
          of a
          Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized
          to take
          any action, not inconsistent with applicable laws, the Certificate of Trust
          or
          this Declaration, as amended from time to time, that each of the Administrators
          and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities
          determines in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such
          purposes.

         

        (e)  All
          expenses incurred by the Administrators or the Trustees pursuant to this
Section
          2.6
          shall be
          reimbursed by the Sponsor, and the Trustees and the Administrators shall
          have no
          obligations with respect to such expenses (for purposes of clarification,
          this
          Section 2.6(e) does not contemplate the payment by the Sponsor of
          acceptance or annual administration fees owing to the Trustees under this
          Declaration or the fees and expenses of the Trustees’ counsel in connection with
          the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Declaration).

         

        (f)  The
          assets of the Trust shall consist of the Trust Property.

         

        (g)  Legal
          title to all Trust Property shall be vested at all times in the Institutional
          Trustee (in its capacity as such) and shall be held and administered by
          the
          Institutional Trustee and the Administrators for the benefit of the Trust
          in
          accordance with this Declaration.

         

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

         

        Section
          2.7. Prohibition
          of Actions by the Trust and the Institutional Trustee.

         

        (a)  The
          Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee shall cause the Trust not
          to,

          In particular, the Trust shall not and the Institutional Trustee shall
          cause the
          Trust not to:

         

        (i)  invest
          any proceeds received by the Trust from holding the Debentures, but shall
          distribute all such proceeds to Holders of the Securities pursuant to the
          terms
          of this Declaration and of the Securities;

         

        (ii)  acquire
          any assets other than as expressly provided herein;

         

        (iii)  possess
          Trust Property for other than a Trust purpose;

         

        (iv)  make
          any loans or incur any indebtedness other than loans represented by the
          Debentures;

        (v)  possess
          any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the Trust assets or
          the
          terms of the Securities in any way whatsoever other than as expressly provided
          herein;

         

        (vi)  issue
          any securities or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, or beneficial
          interest in, the Trust other than the Securities;

         

        (vii)  carry
          on any “trade or business” as that phrase is used in the Code; or

         

        (viii)  other
          than as provided in this Declaration (including Annex I), (A) direct
          the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power conferred upon
          the
          Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (B) waive any past
          default that is waivable under the Indenture, (C) exercise any right to
          rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all the Debentures
          shall
          be due and payable, or (D) consent to any amendment, modification or
          termination of the Indenture or the Debentures where such consent shall
          be
          required unless the Trust shall have received a written opinion of counsel
          to
          the effect that such modification will not cause the Trust to cease to
          be
          classified as a “grantor trust” for United States federal income tax
          purposes.

         

        Section
          2.8. Powers
          and Duties of the Institutional Trustee.

         

        (a)  The
          legal title to the Debentures shall be owned by and held of record in the
          name
          of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Trust and
          the
          Holders of the Securities. The right, title and interest of the Institutional
          Trustee to the Debentures shall vest automatically in each Person who may
          hereafter be appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section
          4.5.
          Such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not
          conveyancing documents with regard to the Debentures have been executed
          and
          delivered.

         

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

         

        (c)  The
          Institutional Trustee shall:

         

        (i)  establish
          and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Property
          Account”)
          in the
          name of and under the exclusive control of the Institutional Trustee, and
          maintained in the Institutional Trustee’s trust department, on behalf of the
          Holders of the Securities and, upon the receipt of payments of funds made
          in
          respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee, deposit such
          funds
          into the Property Account and make payments, or cause the Paying Agent
          to make
          payments, to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders of the Common
          Securities from the Property Account in accordance with Section
          5.1.
          Funds
          in the Property Account shall be held uninvested until disbursed in accordance
          with this Declaration;

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            12

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

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

         

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

         

        (ii)  a
          Successor Institutional Trustee has been appointed and has accepted that
          appointment in accordance with Section 4.5.

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            13

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (c)  All
          payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect
          of the
          Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust
          Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue
          or
          proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Institutional Trustee or
          a Paying
          Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder,
          by its
          acceptance of a Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue
          and
          proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
          distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees and the
          Administrators are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable
          in
          respect of any Security or for any other liability in respect of any Security.
          This Section
          2.9(c)
          does not
          limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this
          Declaration.

         

        (d)  The
          Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for its own acts or omissions
          hereunder except as a result of its own negligent action, its own negligent
          failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

         

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

         

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

         

        (iii)  the
          Institutional Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and
          physical preservation of the Debentures and the Property Account shall
          be to
          deal with such property in a similar manner as the Institutional Trustee
          deals
          with similar property for its fiduciary accounts generally, subject to
          the
          protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Institutional
          Trustee
          under this Declaration;

         

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

         

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

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

         

        (a)  the
          Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and shall fully 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, direction, consent, order, appraisal,
          bond,
          debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
          believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented
          by the
          proper party or parties;

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        (g)  the
          Institutional Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
          rights
          or powers vested in it by this Declaration at the request or direction
          of any of
          the Holders pursuant to this Declaration, unless such Holders shall have
          offered
          to the Institutional Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
          to it
          against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by
          it in
          compliance with such request or direction; provided,
          that
          nothing contained in this Section

          2.9(b),
          upon
          the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured or waived
          pursuant to Section 6.7), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested
          in it by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in
          their
          exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
          in
          the conduct of his or her own affairs;

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        (m)  the
          Institutional Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of
          Default
          unless a Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee obtains actual
          knowledge of such event or the Institutional Trustee receives written notice
          of
          such event from any Holder, the Sponsor or the Debenture Trustee;

         

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

         

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

         

        Section
          2.11. Delaware
          Trustee. Notwithstanding
          any other provision of this Declaration other than Section 4.1, the Delaware
          Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall the Delaware
          Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities of any of the Trustees
          or
          the Administrators described in this Declaration (except as may be required
          under the Statutory Trust Act). Except as set forth in Section 4.1, the
          Delaware

          the
          requirements of § 3807 of the Statutory Trust Act.

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

         

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

         

        Section
          2.14. Duration
          of Trust. The
          Trust, unless earlier dissolved pursuant to the provisions of Article VII
          hereof, shall be in existence for 35 years from the Closing Date.

         

        Section
          2.15. Mergers.

         

        (a)  The
          Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced
          by, or
          convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
          entirety
          to any corporation or other body, except as described in Section 2.15(b)
          and (c)
          and except in connection with the liquidation of the Trust and the distribution
          of the Debentures to Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv)
          of the
          Declaration or Section 4 of Annex I.

         

        (b)  The
          Trust
          may, with the consent of the Institutional Trustee and without the consent
          of
          the Holders of the Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
          or
          into, or be replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any
          state;
          provided that:

         

        (i)  if
          the Trust is not the surviving entity, such successor entity (the “Successor
          Entity”)
          either:

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        (iii)  such
          merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect
          the
          rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including
          any Successor Securities) in any material respect;

         

        (iv)  the
          Institutional Trustee receives written confirmation from Moody’s Investor
          Services, Inc. and any other nationally recognized statistical rating
          organization that rates securities issued by the initial purchaser of the
          Capital Securities that it will not reduce or withdraw the rating of any
          such
          securities because of such merger, conversion, consolidation, amalgamation
          or
          replacement;

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

         

        (vi)  prior
          to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the Trust has
          received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent counsel to the
          Trust
          experienced in such matters to the effect that:

         

        (A) such
          merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect
          the
          rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including
          any Successor Securities) in any material respect;

         

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

         

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

         

        (vii)  the
          Sponsor guarantees the obligations of such Successor Entity under the Successor
          Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee;

         

        (viii)  the
          Sponsor owns 100% of the common securities of any Successor Entity;
          and

         

        (ix)  prior
          to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the Institutional
          Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate of the Administrators and
          an opinion of counsel, each to the effect that all conditions precedent
          under
          this Section 2.15(b) to such transaction have been satisfied.

         

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

          advise the Trust of actions it must take, and prepare for execution and
          filing
          any documents to be executed and filed by the Trust, as the Sponsor deems
          necessary or advisable in order to comply with the applicable laws of any
          such
          States, to protect the limited liability of the Holders of the Capital
          Securities or to enable the Trust to effect the purposes for which it was
          created; and

        Section

          connection with the offering, sale and issuance of the Debentures to the
          Trust
          and in connection with the sale of the Securities by the Trust, the Sponsor,
          in
          its capacity as Debenture Issuer, shall:

         

        (a)   pay
          all reasonable costs and expenses owing to the Debenture Trustee pursuant
          to
          Section 6.6 of the Indenture;

         

        (b)   be
          responsible for and shall pay all debts and obligations (other than with

          to the Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust, the offering,
          sale
          and issuance of the Securities (including fees to the placement agents
          in
          connection therewith), the costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel
          fees
          and expenses) of the Institutional Trustee and the Administrators, the
          costs and
          expenses relating to the operation of the Trust, including, without limitation,
          costs and expenses of accountants, attorneys, statistical or bookkeeping

          incurred
          in connection with the acquisition, financing, and disposition of Trust
          assets
          and the enforcement by the Institutional Trustee of the rights of the Holders
          (for purposes of clarification, this Section 3.3(b) does not contemplate
          the
          payment by the Sponsor of acceptance or annual administration fees owing
          to the
          Trustees pursuant to the services to be provided by the Trustees under
          this
          Declaration or the fees and expenses of the Trustees’ counsel in connection with
          the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Declaration);
          and

         

        (c)  pay
          any and all taxes (other than United States withholding taxes attributable
          to
          the Trust or its assets) and all liabilities, costs and expenses with respect
          to
          such taxes of the Trust.

         

        The
          Sponsor’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall be for the benefit of,
          and shall be enforceable by, any Person to whom such debts, obligations,
          costs,
          expenses and taxes are owed (a “Creditor”)
          whether or not such Creditor has received notice hereof. Any such Creditor
          may
          enforce the Sponsor’s obligations under this Section 3.3 directly against
          the Sponsor and the Sponsor irrevocably waives any right or remedy to require
          that any such Creditor take any action against the Trust or any other Person
          before proceeding against the Sponsor. The Sponsor agrees to execute such
          additional agreements as may be necessary or desirable in order to give
          full
          effect to the provisions of this Section 3.3.

         

        Section
          3.4. Right
          to Proceed. The
          Sponsor acknowledges the rights of Holders to institute a Direct Action
          as set
          forth in Section
          2.8(d)

          decreased
          by vote of the Holder of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
          Securities voting as a class at a meeting of the Holder of the Common
          Securities; provided,
          however,
          that
          there shall be a Delaware Trustee if required by Section 4.2; and there
          shall
          always be one Trustee who shall be the Institutional Trustee, and such
          Trustee
          may also serve as Delaware Trustee if it meets the applicable requirements,
          in
          which case Section 2.11 shall have no application to such entity in its
          capacity
          as Institutional Trustee.

         

        Section
          4.2. Delaware

        (i)  a
          natural person at least 21 years of age who is a resident of the State
          of
          Delaware; or

         

        (ii)  if
          not a natural person, an entity which is organized under the laws of the
          United
          States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, has its principal
          place
          of business in the State of Delaware, and otherwise meets the requirements
          of
          applicable law, including § 3807 of the Statutory Trust Act.

          initial Delaware Trustee shall be Wilmington Trust Company.

        (a)  There

        (i)  not
          be an Affiliate of the Sponsor;

         

        (ii)  not
          offer
          or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Trust; and

          banking corporation or trust company organized and doing business under
          the laws
          of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of
          Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
          having
          a combined capital and surplus of at least 50 million U.S. dollars
          ($50,000,000.00), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal,
          state,
          or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports
          of
          condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of
          the

          of
          this Section
          4.3(a)(iii),

          condition
          so published.

         

        (b)  If
          at any time the Institutional Trustee shall cease to be eligible to so
          act under
Section
          4.3(a),
          the
          Institutional Trustee shall immediately resign in the manner and with the
          effect
          set forth in Section 4.5.

         

        (c)  If
          the Institutional Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within
          the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended,
          the Institutional Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign,
          to the
          extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to this
          Declaration.

         

        (d)  The

          Administrator. Except where a requirement for action by a specific number
          of
          Administrators is expressly set forth in this Declaration and except with
          respect to any action the taking of which is the subject of a meeting of
          the
          Administrators, any action required or permitted to be taken by the
          Administrators may be taken by, and any power of the Administrators may
          be
          exercised by, or with the consent of, any one such Administrator.

        Section
          4.5. Appointment,
          Removal and Resignation of Trustees and Administrators. (a)  No
          resignation or removal of any Trustee (the “Relevant
          Trustee”)
          and no
          appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
          effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
          in
          accordance with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.5.

         

        (b)  Subject
          to Section 4.5(a), a Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving
          written
          notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities and by appointing a successor
          Relevant Trustee. Upon the resignation of the Institutional Trustee, the
          Institutional Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least
          three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements their expenses and charges
          to
          serve as the successor Institutional Trustee on a form provided by the
          Administrators, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expense
          and
          charges (the “Successor
          Institutional Trustee”).
          If
          the instrument of acceptance by the successor Relevant Trustee required
          by this
          Section 4.5 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within
          60 days
          after the giving of such notice of resignation or delivery of the instrument
          of
          removal, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Trust,
          any
          federal, state or District of Columbia court of competent jurisdiction
          for the
          appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon,
          after
          prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a Relevant
          Trustee. The Institutional Trustee shall have no liability for the selection
          of
          such successor pursuant to this Section 4.5.

         

        (c)  Unless
          an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Trustee
          may be
          removed at any time by an act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation
          amount
          of the Common Securities. If any Trustee shall be so removed, the Holders
          of the
          Common Securities, by act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount
          of
          the Common Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall promptly
          appoint
          a successor Relevant Trustee, and such successor Trustee shall comply with
          the
          applicable requirements of this Section 4.5. If an Event of Default shall
          have
          occurred and be continuing, the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
          or both of them, may be removed by the act of the Holders of a Majority
          in
          liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant
          Trustee
          (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). If any Trustee
          shall be
          so removed, the Holders of Capital Securities, by act of the Holders of
          a
          Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding
          delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant
          Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable
          requirements of this Section 4.5. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall
          have
          been so appointed by the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of
          the
          Capital Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by this
          Section 4.5 within 30 days after delivery of an instrument of removal,
          the
          Relevant Trustee or any Holder who has been a Holder of the Securities
          for at
          least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
          petition any federal, state or District of Columbia court of competent
          jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such
          court may
          thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper,
          appoint
          a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees.

         

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

        (e)  Notwithstanding
          the foregoing or any other provision of this Declaration, in the event
          a
          Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or is adjudged by a court
          to have
          become incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death,
          incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the Institutional Trustee following
          the procedures in this Section 4.5 (with the successor being a Person who
          satisfies the eligibility requirement for a Delaware Trustee set forth
          in this
          Declaration) (the “Successor
          Delaware Trustee”).

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        Section
          4.6. Vacancies
          Among Trustees. If
          a
          Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of Trustees
          is not
          reduced pursuant to Section 4.1, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying
          the existence of such vacancy by the Trustees or, if there are more than
          two, a
          majority of the Trustees, shall be conclusive evidence of the existence
          of such
          vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance
          with
          Section 4.5.

         

        Section
          4.7. Effect
          of Vacancies. The
          death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation,
          incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not
          operate
          to dissolve, terminate or annul the Trust or terminate this Declaration.
          Whenever a vacancy in the number of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy
          is
          filled by the appointment of a Trustee in accordance with Section 4.5,
          the
          Institutional Trustee shall have all the powers granted to the Trustees
          and
          shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Trustees by this
          Declaration.

         

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

        Section
          4.9. Delegation
          of Power.

         

        (a)  Any
          Administrator may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law,
          delegate
          to any other natural person over the age of 21 that is a U.S. Person his
          or her
          power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section
          2.6;
          and

         

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

         

        Section
          4.10. Conversion,
          Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any
          Person into which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware 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 the
          Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be a party, or any
          Person
          succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of
          the
          Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be the successor of
          the
          Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee hereunder, provided such
          Person
          shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article and, provided,
          further,
          that
          such Person shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the
          Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as contemplated in
          Section 4.5(i).

          shall receive Distributions in accordance with the applicable terms of
          the
          relevant Holder’s Securities. Distributions shall be made on the Capital
          Securities and the Common Securities in accordance with the preferences
          set
          forth in their respective terms. If and to the extent that the Debenture
          Issuer
          makes a payment of Interest or any principal on the Debentures held by
          the
          Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall and is directed,
          to the
          extent funds are available for that purpose, to make a distribution (a
          “Distribution”)
          of
          such amounts to Holders.

        Section
          6.1. General
          Provisions Regarding Securities.

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        (d)  Upon
          issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the Securities
          so
          issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and, except as
          provided
          in Section 9.1(b) with respect to the Common Securities,
          non-assessable.

         

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

         

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

        Section
          6.3. Form
          and Dating. The
          Capital Securities and the Institutional Trustee’s certificate of authentication
          thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2, and the
          Common Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3, each
          of which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this
          Declaration. Certificates may be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved
          or may
          be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the
          Administrators, as conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. The
          Securities may have letters, numbers, notations or other marks of identification
          or designation and such legends or endorsements required by law, stock
          exchange
          rule, agreements to which the Trust is subject if any, or usage (provided
          that
          any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the
          Sponsor). The Trust at the direction of the Sponsor shall furnish any such
          legend not contained in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 to the Institutional Trustee
          in writing. Each Capital Security shall be dated on or before the date
          of its
          authentication. The terms and provisions of the Securities set forth in
          Annex I
          and the forms of Securities set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3 are part
          of the terms of this Declaration and to the extent applicable, the Institutional
          Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Administrators and the Sponsor, by their
          execution and delivery of this Declaration, expressly agree to such terms
          and
          provisions and to be bound thereby. Capital Securities will be issued only
          in
          blocks having a stated liquidation amount of not less than $100,000.00
          and any
          multiple of $1,000.00 in excess thereof.

         

        The
          Capital Securities are being offered and sold by the Trust pursuant to
          the
          Placement Agreement in definitive, registered form without coupons and
          with the
          Restricted Securities Legend.

         

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

         

        If:

         

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

         

        (b)  there
          shall be delivered to the Registrar, the Administrators and the Institutional
          Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to keep each
          of
          them harmless;

         

        then,
          in
          the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by
          a
          protected purchaser, an Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute
          (and
          in the case of a Capital Security Certificate, the Institutional Trustee
          shall
          authenticate) and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
          destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination.
          In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section
          6.4,
          the
          Registrar or the Administrators 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 Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
          constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant
          Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
          destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

         

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

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

         

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

         

        (a)  The
          legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Institutional
          Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section
          2.5,
          and the
          Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided
          beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their Securities
          and
          they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property,
          profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Securities
          shall
          be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein
          and
          in this Declaration. The Securities shall have no preemptive or similar
          rights.

         

        (b)  For
          so long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if upon an Indenture
          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
          a
          Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding
          shall
          have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the
          Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee.

         

        At
          any
          time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures
          has been
          made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
          obtained by the Debenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, if the
          Institutional Trustee, subject to the provisions hereof, fails to annul
          any such
          declaration and waive such default, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation
          amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the Institutional
          Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such
          declaration and its consequences if:

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            26

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (ii)  all
          Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment
          of
          the principal of the Debentures that has become due solely by such acceleration,
          have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.7 of the
          Indenture.

         

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

         

        Upon
          receipt by the Institutional Trustee of written notice declaring such an
          acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part
          of the
          Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining
          Holders
          of outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which
          record
          date shall be at the close of business on the day the Institutional Trustee
          receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated
          proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice,
          whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided,
          that
          unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as
          the
          case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage
          having joined in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such
          record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission
          and
          annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further
          action by
          any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph
          shall
          prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration
          of such
          90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or
          rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical
          to a
          written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
          sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant
          to the
          provisions of this Section
          6.7.

         

        (c)  Except
          as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
          6.7,
          the
          Holders of at least a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities
          may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any
          past
          default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any
          such
          default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event
          of
          Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
          purpose
          of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
          or other
          default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

        TRANSFER
          OF INTERESTS

         

        Section
          8.1. General.

         

        (a)  Subject
          to Section
          8.1(c),
          where
          Capital Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with
          a
          request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal number
          of
          Capital Securities represented by different certificates, the Registrar
          shall
          register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such
          transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges,
          the
          Trust shall issue and the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate Capital
          Securities at the Registrar’s request.

         

        (b)  Upon
          issuance of the Common Securities, the Sponsor shall acquire and retain
          beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities and for so long
          as the
          Securities remain outstanding, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
          law, the Sponsor shall maintain 100% ownership of the Common Securities;
          provided,
          however,
          that
          any permitted successor of the Sponsor, in its capacity as Debenture Issuer,
          under the Indenture that is a U.S. Person may succeed to the Sponsor’s ownership
          of the Common Securities.

         

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

        (d)  The
          Registrar shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers
          of
          Securities, which will be effected without charge but only upon payment
          (with
          such indemnity as the Registrar may require) in respect of any tax or other
          governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it. Upon surrender
          for
          registration of transfer of any Securities, the Registrar shall cause one
          or
          more new Securities of the same tenor to be issued in the name of the designated
          transferee or transferees. Every Security surrendered for registration
          of
          transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
          satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s
          attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Security surrendered for registration
          of transfer shall be canceled by the Institutional Trustee pursuant to
Section
          6.6.
          A
          transferee of a Security shall be entitled to the rights and subject to
          the
          obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of
          a
          Security. By acceptance of a Security, each transferee shall be deemed
          to have
          agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

         

        (e)  The
          Trust shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or
          exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business
          fifteen days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption
          and
          ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant
          notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of the
          Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange of
          any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
          unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

         

        Section
          8.2. Transfer
          Procedures and Restrictions.

         

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

         

        (b)  Except
          as
          permitted by Section
          8.2(a),
          each
          Capital Security shall bear a legend (the “Restricted
          Securities Legend”)
          in
          substantially the following form and a Capital Security shall not be transferred
          except in compliance with such legend, unless otherwise determined by the
          Sponsor, upon the advice of counsel expert in securities law, in accordance
          with
          applicable law:

          INVESTOR, FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR OFFER
          OR SALE
          IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT,
          OR

          such Indemnified Person with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust,
          including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value
          and
          amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts
          pertinent
          to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to Holders
          of
          Securities might properly be paid.

         

        Section
          9.3. Fiduciary
          Duty.

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        Section
          9.4. Indemnification.

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            32

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        (e)  To
          the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending a civil,
          criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred
          to
          in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
          9.4
          shall be
          paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final disposition of such action,
          suit or
          proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified
          Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he
          is not
          entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor as authorized in this Section
          9.4.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Sponsor
          if a
          determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Administrators by
          a majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested Administrators, (ii) if such a
          Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested
          Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion
          or
          (iii) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the
          facts known to the Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder
          at the
          time such determination is made, such Indemnified Person acted in bad faith
          or
          in a manner that such Indemnified Person did not believe to be in the best
          interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that
          such
          Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
          was
          unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the
          Administrators, independent legal counsel or the Common Security Holder
          reasonably determine that such Indemnified Person deliberately breached
          his duty
          to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security Holders.

        (f)  The
          Trustees, at the sole cost and expense of the Sponsor, retain the right
          to
          representation by counsel of their own choosing in any action, suit or
          any other
          proceeding for which they are indemnified under paragraphs (a) and (b) of
          this Section
          9.4,
          without
          affecting their right to indemnification hereunder or waiving any rights
          afforded to it under this Declaration or applicable law.

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        (j)  The
          indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
          to,
          this Section
          9.4
          shall,
          unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, (i) continue as to a
          Person who has ceased to be an Indemnified Person and shall inure to the
          benefit
          of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person; and
          (ii) survive the termination or expiration of this Declaration or the
          earlier removal or resignation of an Indemnified Person.

         

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

        Section
          9.6. Compensation;
          Fee. The
          Sponsor agrees:

         

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

         

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

         

        For
          purposes of clarification, this Section 9.6 does not contemplate the
          payment by the Sponsor of acceptance or annual administration fees owing
          to the
          Trustees under this Declaration or the fees and expenses of the Trustees’
counsel in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated
          by this
          Declaration.

         

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

         

        No
          Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any property of the Trust as a
          result of
          any amount due pursuant to this Section
          9.6.

          of the
          Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by
          the

        Section
          10.2. Certain
          Accounting Matters. 

         

        (a)  At
          all times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrators shall keep,
          or
          cause to be kept at the principal office of the Trust in the United States,
          as
          defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, full books
          of
          account, records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable
          detail each transaction of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained,
          at the Sponsor’s expense, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles, consistently applied. The books of account and the records
          of the
          Trust shall be examined by and reported upon (either separately or as part
          of
          the Sponsor’s regularly prepared consolidated financial report) as of the end of
          each Fiscal Year of the Trust by a firm of independent certified public
          accountants selected by the Administrators.

         

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

         

        (c)  The
          Administrators, at the Sponsor’s expense, shall cause to be duly prepared at the
          principal office of the Sponsor in the United States, as ‘United States’ is
          defined in Section 7701(a)(9) of the Code (or at the principal office of
          the Trust if the Sponsor has no such principal office in the United States),
          and
          filed an annual United States federal income tax return on a Form 1041
          or such
          other form required by United States federal income tax law, and any other

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

         

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

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

         

        (a)  Meetings
          of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called at any time by
          the
          Administrators (or as provided in the terms of the Securities) to consider
          and
          act on any matter on which Holders of such class of Securities are entitled
          to
          act under the terms of this Declaration or the terms of the Securities.
          The
          Administrators shall call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed
          to
          do so by the Holders of at least 10% in liquidation amount of such class
          of
          Securities. Such direction shall be given by delivering to the Administrators
          one or more calls in a writing stating that the signing Holders of the
          Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the general or specific
          purpose
          for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders of the Securities calling
          a
          meeting shall specify in writing the Certificates held by the Holders of
          the
          Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and only those Securities
          represented by such Certificates shall be counted for purposes of determining
          whether the required percentage set forth in the second sentence of this
          paragraph has been met.

         

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

         

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

         

        (ii)  each
          Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on
          all
          matters in which a Holder of Securities is entitled to participate, including
          waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting.
          No proxy
          shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof
          unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable
          at the
          pleasure of the Holder of the Securities executing it. Except as otherwise
          provided herein, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity
          of
          proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of
          Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder,
          as if the
          Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the Securities were
          stockholders of a Delaware corporation; each meeting of the Holders of
          the
          Securities shall be conducted by the Administrators or by such other Person
          that
          the Administrators may designate; and

         

        (iii)  unless
          the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, or the terms of the Securities
          otherwise provides, the Administrators, in their sole discretion, shall
          establish all other provisions relating to meetings of Holders of Securities,
          including notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which
          any
          matter is to be voted on by any Holders of the Securities, waiver of any
          such
          notice, action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record
          date,
          quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with
          respect to the exercise of any such right to vote; provided,
          however,
          that
          each meeting shall be conducted in the United States (as that term is defined
          in
          Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7).

        Section
          13.6. Partial
          Enforceability. If

        Pursuant
          to Section
          6.1
          of the
          Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of March 17, 2005 (as
          amended from time to time, the “Declaration”), the designation, rights,
          privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of
          the
          Capital Securities and the Common Securities are set out below (each capitalized
          term used but not defined herein has the meaning set forth in the
          Declaration):

         

        1. Designation
          and Number.

         

        (a) 20,000
          Floating Rate Capital Securities of Wilshire Statutory Trust II (the “Trust”),
          with an aggregate stated liquidation amount with respect to the assets
          of the
          Trust of twenty millions dollars ($20,000,000.00) and a stated liquidation
          amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000.00 per Capital
          Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only
          as the
“Capital
          Securities”.
          The
          Capital Security Certificates evidencing the Capital Securities shall be
          substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 to the Declaration, with
          such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required
          by
          ordinary usage, custom or practice.

         

        (b) 619
          Floating Rate Common Securities of the Trust (the “Common
          Securities”)
          will
          be evidenced by Common Security Certificates substantially in the form
          of
          Exhibit A-3 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or
          deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or
          practice.

         

        2. Distributions.

         

        (a) Distributions
          will be payable on each Security for the Distribution Period beginning
          on (and
          including) the date of original issuance and ending on (but excluding)
          the
          Distribution Payment Date in June 2005 at a rate per annum of 4.76% and
          shall
          bear interest for each successive Distribution Period beginning on (and
          including) the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005, and each succeeding
          Distribution Payment Date, and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding
          Distribution Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to the 3-Month LIBOR,
          determined as described below, plus 1.79% (the “Coupon
          Rate”),
          applied to the stated liquidation amount thereof, such rate being the rate
          of
          interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee.
          Distributions in arrears will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly
          at the
          applicable Distribution Rate (to the extent permitted by law). Distributions,
          as
          used herein, include cash distributions and any such compounded distributions
          unless otherwise noted. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that
          payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional
          Trustee
          and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor.
          The
          amount of the Distribution payable for any Distribution Period will be
          calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the stated liquidation
          amount
          outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying
          each
          such amount by the actual number of days in the Distribution Period concerned
          divided by 360. All percentages resulting from any calculations on the
          Capital
          Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth
          of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
          upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655),
          and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will
          be
          rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded
          upward)).

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-1

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (b) Distributions
          on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original
          issuance, and will be payable, subject to extension of distribution payment
          periods as described herein, quarterly in arrears on March 17,
          June 17, September 17 and December 17 of each year, or if such
          day is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each
          a
“Distribution
          Payment Date”),
          commencing on the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005 when, as and if
          available for payment. The Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture
          to
          defer payments of interest on the Debentures, so long as no Extension Event
          of
          Default has occurred and is continuing, by extending the interest payment
          period
          on the Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each an
“Extension
          Period”)
          at any
          time and from time to time, subject to the conditions described below,
          during
          which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable. During any
          Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and
          interest on such accrued interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to
          the
          Distribution Rate in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded
          quarterly
          from the date such interest would have been payable were it not for the
          Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law (such interest referred
          to
          herein as “Additional
          Interest”).
          No
          Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date.
          At
          the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay all
          interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional
          Interest thereon); provided,
          however,
          that no
          Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date and provided further,
          however,
          that
          during any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer and its Affiliates
          shall
          not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem,
          purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of
          the
          Debenture Issuer’s or its Affiliates’ capital stock (other than payments of
          dividends or distributions to the Debenture Issuer or payments of dividends
          from
          direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Debenture Issuer to their parent
          corporations, which also shall be direct or indirect subsidiaries of the
          Debenture Issuer) or make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing,
          or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
          or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Debenture Issuer
          or
          any Affiliate that rank pari passu
          in all
          respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than, with
          respect
          to clauses (i) and (ii) above, (a) repurchases, redemptions or other
          acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer in connection
          with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement
          with or
          for the benefit of one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants,
          in
          connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan
          or in
          connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (or
          securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as
          consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable
          Extension Period, (b) as a result of any exchange or conversion of any
          class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock (or any capital stock of
          a subsidiary of the Debenture Issuer) for any class or series of the Debenture
          Issuer’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s
          indebtedness for any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock,
          (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Debenture
          Issuer’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such
          capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any
          declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholders’ rights plan, or
          the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholders’ rights
          plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, (e) any
          dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where
          the
          dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options
          or
          other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid
          or
          ranks pari
          passu
          with or
          junior to such stock and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares
          issued
          in connection therewith, (f) payments of principal or interest on debt
          securities or payments of cash dividends or distributions on any capital
          stock
          issued by an Affiliate that is not, in whole or in part, a subsidiary of
          the
          Debenture Issuer (or any redemptions, repurchases or liquidation payments
          on
          such stock or securities), or (g) payments under the Capital Securities
          Guarantee). Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture
          Issuer may further extend such period, provided that such period together
          with
          all such previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not
          exceed 20
          consecutive quarterly periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon
          the
          termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued
          and
          unpaid interest and Additional Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence
          a new
          Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or
          Additional Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period,
          except
          at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise
          have
          been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional
          Interest. During any Extension Period, Distributions on the Securities
          shall be
          deferred for a period equal to the Extension Period. If Distributions are
          deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related
          Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Securities as they appear
          on the
          books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding
          such
          date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable
          (after
          giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has
          funds
          available for the payment of such distributions in the Property Account
          of the
          Trust. The Trust’s funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the
          Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer.
          The
          payment of Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed
          by the
          Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-2

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (c) Distributions
          on the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear
          on the
          books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates. The relevant
          record
          dates shall be fifteen days before the relevant Distribution Payment Date.
          Distributions payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on
          any
          Distribution Payment Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed
          to
          make a payment under the Debentures, as the case may be, when due (taking
          into
          account any Extension Period), will cease to be payable to the Person in
          whose
          name such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such
          defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name
          such
          Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified
          date
          determined in accordance with the Indenture.

         

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

         

        3. Liquidation
          Distribution Upon Dissolution.
          In the
          event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up
          or
          termination of the Trust (each a “Liquidation”)
          other
          than in connection with a redemption of the Debentures, the Holders of
          the
          Securities will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available
          for distribution to Holders of the Securities, after satisfaction of liabilities
          to creditors of the Trust (to the extent not satisfied by the Debenture
          Issuer),
          distributions equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of
          $1,000.00 per Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to
          the date
          of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation
          Distribution”),
          unless in connection with such Liquidation, the Debentures in an aggregate
          stated principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount
          of such
          Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Distribution Rate of, and
          bearing
          accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid
          Distributions on, and having the same record date as, such Securities,
          after
          paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations
          of the
          Trust in accordance with the Statutory Trust Act, shall be distributed
          on a Pro
          Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such
          Securities.

         

        The
          Sponsor, as the Holder of all of the Common Securities, has the right at
          any
          time to dissolve the Trust (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence
          of a Special Event), subject to the receipt by the Debenture Issuer of
          prior
          approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or
          its
          designated district bank, as applicable, and any successor federal agency
          that
          is primarily responsible for regulating the activities of the Sponsor (the
          “Federal
          Reserve”),
          if
          the Sponsor is a bank holding company, or from the Office of Thrift Supervision
          and any successor federal agency that is primarily responsible for regulating
          the activities of Sponsor, (the “OTS”)
          if the
          Sponsor is a savings and loan holding company, in either case if then required
          under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve
          or OTS,
          as applicable, and, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the
          Trust,
          cause the Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities
          on a Pro
          Rata basis in accordance with the aggregate stated liquidation amount
          thereof.

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-3

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        If,
          upon
          any such Liquidation the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part
          because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the
          aggregate
          Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust
          on such
          Capital Securities shall be paid to the Holders of the Trust Securities
          on a Pro
          Rata basis, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
          the Capital Securities shall have a preference over the Common Securities
          with
          regard to such distributions.

         

        After
          the
          date for any distribution of the Debentures upon dissolution of the Trust
          (i) the Securities of the Trust will be deemed to be no longer outstanding,
          (ii) upon surrender of a Holder’s Securities certificate, such Holder of
          the Securities will receive a certificate representing the Debentures to
          be
          delivered upon such distribution, (iii) any certificates representing the
          Securities still outstanding will be deemed to represent undivided beneficial
          interests in such of the Debentures as have an aggregate principal amount
          equal
          to the aggregate stated liquidation amount with an interest rate identical
          to
          the Distribution Rate of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal
          to
          accrued and unpaid distributions on, the Securities until such certificates
          are
          presented to the Debenture Issuer or its agent for transfer or reissuance
          (and
          until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or
          principal
          shall be made to Holders of Securities in respect of any payments due and
          payable under the Debentures; provided,
          however
          that
          such failure to pay shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default and shall
          not
          entitle the Holder to the benefits of the Guarantee), and (iv) all rights
          of Holders of Securities under the Declaration shall cease, except the
          right of
          such Holders to receive Debentures upon surrender of certificates representing
          such Securities.

         

        4. Redemption
          and Distribution.

         

        (a) The
          Debentures will mature on March 17, 2035. The Debentures may be redeemed
          by the
          Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, at any Distribution Payment Date
          on or
          after the Distribution Payment Date in March 2010, at the Redemption Price.
          In
          addition, the Debentures may be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer at the
          Special
          Redemption Price, in whole but not in part, at any Distribution Payment
          Date,
          upon the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event within 120 days
          following the occurrence of such Special Event at the Special Redemption
          Price,
          upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to holders of such
          Debentures so long as such Special Event is continuing. In each case, the
          right
          of the Debenture Issuer to redeem the Debentures is subject to the Debenture
          Issuer having received prior approval from the Federal Reserve (if the
          Debenture
          Issuer is a bank holding company) or prior approval from the OTS (if the
          Debenture Issuer is a savings and loan holding company), in each case if
          then
          required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the applicable
          federal agency.

         

        “3-Month
          LIBOR”
means
          the London interbank offered interest rate for three-month, U.S. dollar
          deposits
          determined by the Debenture Trustee in the following order of
          priority:

         

        (1) the
          rate
          (expressed as a percentage per annum) for U.S. dollar deposits having a
          three-month maturity that appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
          11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date (as defined
          below). “Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as
“Page 3750” on the Moneyline Telerate Service or such other page as may
          replace Page 3750 on that service or such other service or services as may
          be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for
          the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar
          deposits;

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-4

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (2) if
          such
          rate cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Debenture
          Trustee will request the principal London offices of four leading banks
          in the
          London interbank market to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as
          percentages per annum) to prime banks in the London interbank market for
          U.S.
          dollar deposits having a three-month maturity as of 11:00 a.m. (London
          time) on such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided,
          3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations;

         

        (3) if
          fewer
          than two such quotations are provided as requested in clause (2) above, the
          Debenture Trustee will request four major New York City banks to provide
          such
          banks’ offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum) to leading
          European banks for loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
          such Determination Date. If at least two such quotations are provided,
          3-Month
          LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; and

         

        (4) if
          fewer
          than two such quotations are provided as requested in clause (3) above,
          3-Month LIBOR will be a 3-Month LIBOR determined with respect to the
          Distribution Period immediately preceding such current Distribution Period.
          

         

        If
          the
          rate for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that initially
          appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the
          related Determination Date is superseded on the Telerate Page 3750 by a
          corrected rate by 12:00 noon (London time) on such Determination Date, then
          the corrected rate as so substituted on the applicable page will be the
          applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination Date.

         

        The
          Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period will at no time be higher

        “Capital
          Treatment Event”
means
          the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of an opinion of counsel
          experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of the occurrence
          of
          any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change)
          in, the
          laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any political subdivision
          thereof or therein, or as the result of any official or administrative
          pronouncement or action or decision interpreting or applying such laws,
          rules or
          regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement,
          action or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance
          of the
          Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Sponsor will
          not,
          within 90 days of the date of such opinion, be entitled to treat an amount
          equal
          to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities as “Tier 1
          Capital” (or its then equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy
          guidelines of the Federal Reserve, as then in effect and applicable to
          the
          Sponsor (or if the Sponsor is not a bank holding company, such guidelines
          applied to the Sponsor as if the Sponsor were subject to such guidelines);
          provided,
          however,
          that
          the inability of the Sponsor to treat all or any portion of the liquidation
          amount of the Capital Securities as Tier l Capital shall not constitute the
          basis for a Capital Treatment Event, if such inability results from the
          Sponsor
          having cumulative preferred stock, minority interests in consolidated
          subsidiaries, or any other class of security or interest which the Federal
          Reserve or OTS, as applicable, may now or hereafter accord Tier 1 Capital
          treatment in excess of the amount which may now or hereafter qualify for
          treatment as Tier 1 Capital under applicable capital adequacy guidelines;
provided further,
          however,
          that
          the distribution of Debentures in connection with the Liquidation of the
          Trust
          shall not in and of itself constitute a Capital Treatment Event unless
          such
          Liquidation shall have occurred in connection with a Tax Event or an Investment
          Company Event. For purposes of this definition, the rule designated “Risk-Based
          Capital Standards: Trust Preferred Securities and the Definition of Capital”
issued by the Federal Reserve on March 1, 2005 shall be deemed to have been
          issued and effective prior to the date of this Indenture and shall not
          be deemed
          to constitute a Capital Treatment Event.

        “Determination
          Date”

          dealings
          in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market)

          a change in law or regulation or written change (including any announced
          prospective change) in interpretation or application of law or regulation
          by any
          legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, there
          is
          more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or, within 90 days of
          the date
          of such opinion, will be considered an Investment Company that is required
          to be
          registered under the Investment Company Act which change or prospective
          change
          becomes effective or would become effective, as the case may be, on or

          Event”

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

         

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

        (c) If
          fewer
          than all the outstanding Securities are to be so redeemed, the Common Securities
          and the Capital Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata and the Capital Securities
          to be redeemed will be redeemed
          Pro Rata from each Holder of Capital Securities.

         

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

         

        (e) Redemption
          or Distribution Procedures.

         

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

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-8

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

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

         

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

         

        5. Voting
          Rights - Capital Securities.

         

        (a) Except
          as
          provided under paragraphs 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and
          the Declaration, the Holders of the Capital Securities will have no voting
          rights. The Administrators are required to call a meeting of the Holders
          of the
          Capital Securities if directed to do so by Holders of at least 10% in
          liquidation amount of the Capital Securities.

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-9

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        6. Voting
          Rights - Common Securities.

         

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

         

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

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-10

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

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

         

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

         

        7. Amendments
          to Declaration and Indenture.

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            I-11

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (b) In
          the
          event the consent of the Institutional Trustee as the holder of the Debentures
          is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification
          or
          termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee
          shall
          request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect
          to
          such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with respect
          to such
          amendment, modification, or termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation
          amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided,
          however,
          that
          where a consent under the Indenture would require a Super Majority, the
          Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the
          Holders
          of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities which
          the
          relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of
          the
          Debentures outstanding.

         

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

         

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

         

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

          REVERSE OF CAPITAL SECURITY]

         

        Distributions
          payable on each Capital Security will be payable at an annual rate equal
          to
          4.76% beginning on (and including) the date of original issuance and ending
          on
          (but excluding) the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005 and at an annual
          rate
          for each successive period beginning on (and including) the Distribution
          Payment
          Date in June 2005, and each succeeding Distribution Payment Date, and ending
          on
          (but excluding) the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date (each a
“Distribution Period”), equal to 3-Month LIBOR, determined as described below,
          plus 1.79% (the “Coupon Rate”), applied to the stated liquidation amount of
          $1,000.00 per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable
          on
          the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions in
          arrears
          will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Distribution Rate
          (to the
          extent permitted by applicable law). The term “Distributions” as used herein
          includes cash distributions and any such compounded distributions unless
          otherwise noted. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments
          are
          made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and
          to the
          extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. As used
          herein,
“Determination Date” means the date that is two London Banking Days (i.e., a
          business day in which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted
          in the
          London interbank market) preceding the commencement of the relevant Distribution
          Period. The amount of the Distribution payable for any Distribution Period
          will
          be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the stated liquidation
          amount
          outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying
          each
          such amount by the actual number of days in the Distribution Period concerned
          divided by 360.

         

        “3-Month
          LIBOR” as used herein, means the London interbank offered interest rate for
          three-month U.S. dollar deposits determined by the Debenture Trustee in
          the
          following order of priority: (i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per
          annum)
          for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that appears on
          Telerate
          Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date
          (“Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as “Page 3750” on the
          Moneyline Telerate Service or such other page as may replace Page 3750
          on that
          service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British
          Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying
          London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits); (ii) if such
          rate
          cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Debenture Trustee
          will request the principal London offices of four leading banks in the
          London
          interbank market to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as
          percentages per annum) to prime banks in the London interbank market for
          U.S.
          dollar deposits having a three-month maturity as of 11:00 a.m. (London
          time) on
          such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided, 3-Month
          LIBOR
          will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; (iii) if fewer than two
          such quotations are provided as requested in clause (ii) above, the Debenture
          Trustee will request four major New York City banks to provide such banks’
offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum) to leading European
          banks for loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such
          Determination Date. If at least two such quotations are provided, 3-Month
          LIBOR
          will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; and (iv) if fewer than two
          such quotations are provided as requested in clause (iii) above, 3-Month
          LIBOR
          will be a 3-Month LIBOR determined with respect to the Distribution Period
          immediately preceding such current Distribution Period. If the rate for
          U.S.
          dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that initially appears on
          Telerate
          Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date
          is
          superseded on the Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate by 12:00 noon
          (London
          time) on such Determination Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted
          on
          the applicable page will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination
          Date.

         

        The
          Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period will at no time be higher
          than the
          maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be modified
          by
          United States law.

         

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

        Except
          as
          otherwise described below, Distributions on the Capital Securities will
          be
          cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be
          payable
          quarterly in arrears on March 17, June 17, September 17 and
          December 17 of each year or if any such day is not a Business Day, then the
          next succeeding Business Day (each such day, a “Distribution Payment Date”),
          commencing on the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005. The Debenture
          Issuer
          has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the
          Debentures, so long as no Extension Event of Default has occurred and is
          continuing, by extending the interest payment period on the Debentures
          for up to
          20 consecutive quarterly periods (each an “Extension Period”) at any time and
          from time to time on the Debentures, subject to the conditions described
          below,
          during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable. During
          any
          Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and
          interest on such accrued interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to
          the
          Distribution Rate in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded
          quarterly
          from the date such interest would have been payable were it not for the
          Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law (such interest referred
          to
          herein as “Additional Interest”). No Extension Period may end on a date other
          than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period,
          the
          Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the
          Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided,
          however,
          that no
          Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination
          of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period,
          provided that such period together with all such previous and further
          consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly
          periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any
          Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest
          and
          Additional Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension
          Period,
          subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest
          shall
          be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof,
          but
          each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable
          during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. During any
          Extension Period, Distributions on the Capital Securities shall be deferred
          for
          a period equal to the Extension Period. If Distributions are deferred,
          the
          Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension
          Period
          terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and
          records
          of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions
          on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect
          to any
          Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for
          the
          payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The
          Trust’s
          funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will
          be
          limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of
          Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor
          pursuant to the Guarantee.

         

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

        Wilshire
          Statutory Trust II, a statutory trust created under the laws of the State
          of
          Delaware (the “Trust”), hereby certifies that First Tennessee Bank National
          Association is the registered owner of capital securities of the Trust
          representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust,

          Subject to the Declaration (as defined below), the Capital Securities are
          transferable on the books and records of the Trust in person or by a duly

          declaration as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Declaration”).
          Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given
          them
          in the Declaration. The Holder is entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee
          to
          the extent provided therein. The Sponsor will provide a copy of the Declaration,

        Upon
          receipt of this Security, the Holder is bound by the Declaration and is
          entitled
          to the benefits thereunder.

         

        By
          acceptance of this Security, the Holder agrees to treat, for United States
          federal income tax purposes, the Debentures as indebtedness and the Capital
          Securities as evidence of beneficial ownership in the Debentures.

         

        This
          Capital Security is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
          laws of
          the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of

[FORM
          OF
          REVERSE OF CAPITAL SECURITY]

         

        Distributions
          payable on each Capital Security will be payable at an annual rate equal
          to
          4.76% beginning on (and including) the date of original issuance and ending
          on
          (but excluding) the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005 and at an annual
          rate
          for each successive period beginning on (and including) the Distribution
          Payment
          Date in June 2005, and each succeeding Distribution Payment Date, and ending
          on
          (but excluding) the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date (each a
“Distribution Period”), equal to 3-Month LIBOR, determined as described below,
          plus 1.79% (the “Coupon Rate”), applied to the stated liquidation amount of
          $1,000.00 per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable
          on
          the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions in
          arrears
          will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Distribution Rate
          (to the
          extent permitted by applicable law). The term “Distributions” as used herein
          includes cash distributions and any such compounded distributions unless
          otherwise noted. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments
          are
          made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and
          to the
          extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. As used
          herein,
“Determination Date” means the date that is two London Banking Days (i.e., a
          business day in which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted
          in the
          London interbank market) preceding the commencement of the relevant Distribution
          Period. The amount of the Distribution payable for any Distribution Period
          will
          be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the stated liquidation
          amount
          outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying
          each
          such amount by the actual number of days in the Distribution Period concerned
          divided by 360.

         

        “3-Month
          LIBOR” as used herein, means the London interbank offered interest rate for
          three-month U.S. dollar deposits determined by the Debenture Trustee in
          the
          following order of priority: (i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per
          annum)
          for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that appears on
          Telerate
          Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date
          (“Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as “Page 3750” on the
          Moneyline Telerate Service or such other page as may replace Page 3750
          on that
          service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British
          Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying
          London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits); (ii) if such
          rate
          cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Debenture Trustee
          will request the principal London offices of four leading banks in the
          London
          interbank market to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as
          percentages per annum) to prime banks in the London interbank market for
          U.S.
          dollar deposits having a three-month maturity as of 11:00 a.m. (London
          time) on
          such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided, 3-Month
          LIBOR
          will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; (iii) if fewer than two
          such quotations are provided as requested in clause (ii) above, the Debenture
          Trustee will request four major New York City banks to provide such banks’
offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum) to leading European
          banks for loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such
          Determination Date. If at least two such quotations are provided, 3-Month
          LIBOR
          will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; and (iv) if fewer than two
          such quotations are provided as requested in clause (iii) above, 3-Month
          LIBOR
          will be a 3-Month LIBOR determined with respect to the Distribution Period
          immediately preceding such current Distribution Period. If the rate for
          U.S.
          dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that initially appears on
          Telerate
          Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date
          is
          superseded on the Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate by 12:00 noon
          (London
          time) on such Determination Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted
          on
          the applicable page will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination
          Date.

         

        The
          Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period will at no time be higher
          than the
          maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be modified
          by
          United States law.

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            A-2-5

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        Except
          as
          otherwise described below, Distributions on the Capital Securities will
          be
          cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be
          payable
          quarterly in arrears on March 17, June 17, September 17 and
          December 17 of each year or if any such day is not a Business Day, then the
          next succeeding Business Day (each such day, a “Distribution Payment Date”),
          commencing on the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005. The Debenture
          Issuer
          has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the
          Debentures, so long as no Extension Event of Default has occurred and is
          continuing, by extending the interest payment period on the Debentures
          for up to
          20 consecutive quarterly periods (each an “Extension Period”) at any time and
          from time to time on the Debentures, subject to the conditions described
          below,
          during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable. During
          any
          Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and
          interest on such accrued interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to
          the
          Distribution Rate in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded
          quarterly
          from the date such interest would have been payable were it not for the
          Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law (such interest referred
          to
          herein as “Additional Interest”). No Extension Period may end on a date other
          than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period,
          the
          Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the
          Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided,
          however,
          that no
          Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination
          of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period,
          provided that such period together with all such previous and further
          consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly
          periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any
          Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest
          and
          Additional Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension
          Period,
          subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest
          shall
          be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof,
          but
          each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable
          during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. During any
          Extension Period, Distributions on the Capital Securities shall be deferred
          for
          a period equal to the Extension Period. If Distributions are deferred,
          the
          Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension
          Period
          terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and
          records
          of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions
          on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect
          to any
          Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for
          the
          payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The
          Trust’s
          funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will
          be
          limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of
          Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor
          pursuant to the Guarantee.

         

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

        of

         

        Wilshire
          Statutory Trust II

         

        Wilshire
          Statutory Trust II, a statutory trust created under the laws of the State
          of
          Delaware (the “Trust”), hereby certifies that Wilshire Bancorp, Inc. (the
“Holder”) is the registered owner of common securities of the Trust representing
          undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (the “Common
          Securities”). The Common Securities represented hereby are issued pursuant to,
          and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and
          other
          terms and provisions of the Common Securities shall in all respects be
          subject
          to, the provisions of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of
          the Trust
          dated as of March 17, 2005, among Soo Bong Min, Brian E. Cho and Elaine
          Jeon, as Administrators, Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee,
          Wilmington Trust Company, as Institutional Trustee, Wilshire Bancorp, Inc.,
          as
          Sponsor, and the holders from time to time of undivided beneficial interest
          in
          the assets of the Trust including the designation of the terms of the Common
          Securities as set forth in Annex I to such amended and restated declaration,
          as
          the same may be amended from time to time (the “Declaration”). Capitalized terms
          used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given them in the
          Declaration. The Holder is entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee to
          the
          extent provided therein. The Sponsor will provide a copy of the Declaration,
          the
          Guarantee and the Indenture to the Holder without charge upon written request
          to
          the Sponsor at its principal place of business.

         

        As
          set
          forth in the Declaration, when an Event of Default has occurred and is
          continuing, the rights of Holders of Common Securities to payment in respect
          of
          Distributions and payments upon Liquidation, redemption or otherwise are
          subordinated to the rights of payment of Holders of the Capital
          Securities.

         

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

         

        By
          acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder agrees to treat, for United
          States
          federal income tax purposes, the Debentures as indebtedness and the Common
          Securities as evidence of undivided beneficial ownership in the
          Debentures.

         

        This
          Common Security is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws

        [FORM

          REVERSE OF COMMON SECURITY]

         

        Distributions
          payable on each Common Security will be payable at an annual rate equal
          to 4.76%
          beginning on (and including) the date of original issuance and ending on
          (but
          excluding) the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005 and at an annual
          rate for
          each successive period beginning on (and including) the Distribution Payment
          Date in June 2005, and each succeeding Distribution Payment Date, and ending
          on
          (but excluding) the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date (each a
“Distribution Period”), equal to 3-Month LIBOR, determined as described below,
          plus 1.79% (the “Coupon Rate”), applied to the stated liquidation amount of
          $1,000.00 per Common Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable
          on
          the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions in
          arrears
          will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Distribution Rate
          (to the
          extent permitted by applicable law). The term “Distributions” as used herein
          includes cash distributions and any such compounded distributions unless
          otherwise noted. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments
          are
          made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and
          to the
          extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. As used
          herein,
“Determination Date” means the date that is two London Banking Days (i.e., a
          business day in which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted
          in the
          London interbank market) preceding the commencement of the relevant Distribution
          Period. The amount of the Distribution payable for any Distribution Period
          will
          be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the stated liquidation
          amount
          outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying
          each
          such amount by the actual number of days in the Distribution Period concerned
          divided by 360.

         

        “3-Month
          LIBOR” as used herein, means the London interbank offered interest rate for
          three-month U.S. dollar deposits determined by the Debenture Trustee in
          the
          following order of priority: (i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per
          annum)
          for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that appears on
          Telerate
          Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date
          (“Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as “Page 3750” on the
          Moneyline Telerate Service or such other page as may replace Page 3750
          on that
          service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British
          Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying
          London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits); (ii) if such
          rate
          cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Debenture Trustee
          will request the principal London offices of four leading banks in the
          London
          interbank market to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as
          percentages per annum) to prime banks in the London interbank market for
          U.S.
          dollar deposits having a three-month maturity as of 11:00 a.m. (London
          time) on
          such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided, 3-Month
          LIBOR
          will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; (iii) if fewer than two
          such
          quotations are provided as requested in clause (ii) above, the Debenture
          Trustee
          will request four major New York City banks to provide such banks’ offered
          quotations (expressed as percentages per annum) to leading European banks
          for
          loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination
          Date.
          If at least two such quotations are provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the
          arithmetic mean of such quotations; and (iv) if fewer than two such quotations
          are provided as requested in clause (iii) above, 3-Month LIBOR will be
          a 3-Month
          LIBOR determined with respect to the Distribution Period immediately preceding
          such current Distribution Period. If the rate for U.S. dollar deposits
          having a
          three-month maturity that initially appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of
          11:00
          a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date is superseded on the
          Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate by 12:00 noon (London time) on such
          Determination Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted on the applicable
          page will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination
          Date.

         

        The
          Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period will at no time be higher
          than the
          maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be modified
          by
          United States law.

         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            A-3-3

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        Except
          as
          otherwise described below, Distributions on the Common Securities will
          be
          cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be
          payable
          quarterly in arrears on March 17, June 17, September 17 and
          December 17 of each year or if any such day is not a Business Day, then the
          next succeeding Business Day (each such day, a “Distribution Payment Date”),
          commencing on the Distribution Payment Date in June 2005. The Debenture
          Issuer
          has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the
          Debentures, so long as no Extension Event of Default has occurred and is
          continuing, by extending the interest payment period on the Debentures
          for up to
          20 consecutive quarterly periods (each an “Extension Period”) at any time
          and from time to time on the Debentures, subject to the conditions described
          below, during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable.
          During any Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures,
          and interest on such accrued interest will accrue at an annual rate equal
          to the
          Distribution Rate in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded
          quarterly
          from the date such interest would have been payable were it not for the
          Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law (such interest referred
          to
          herein as “Additional Interest”). No Extension Period may end on a date other
          than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period,
          the
          Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the
          Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided,
          however,
          that no
          Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination
          of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period,
          provided that such period together with all such previous and further
          consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly
          periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any
          Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest
          and
          Additional Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension
          Period,
          subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest
          shall
          be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof,
          but
          each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable
          during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. During any
          Extension Period, Distributions on the Common Securities shall be deferred
          for a
          period equal to the Extension Period. If Distributions are deferred, the
          Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension
          Period
          terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and
          records
          of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions
          on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect
          to any
          Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for
          the
          payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The
          Trust’s
          funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will
          be
          limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer.

         

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

      TRUSTEE

     

    Section
      2.1.  Powers
      and Duties of the Guarantee Trustee.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (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;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      2.2.  Certain
      Rights of Guarantee Trustee.

     

    (a)  Subject
      to the provisions of Section 2.1:

     

    (i)  The
      Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in acting
      or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, certificate, statement,
      instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
      debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
      believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by
      the
      proper party or parties.

     

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

     

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

     

    (iv)  The
      Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or
      registration of any instrument (or any re-recording, refiling or re-registration
      thereof).

     

    (v)  The
      Guarantee Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice
      or
      opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete
      authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
      by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.
      Such counsel may be counsel to the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may
      include any of its employees. The Guarantee Trustee shall have the right at
      any
      time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Guarantee from
      any court of competent jurisdiction.

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

     

    (vii)  The
      Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
      or
      matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
      report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note,
      other
      evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Guarantee Trustee,
      in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
      facts or matters as it may see fit.

     

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

     

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

     

    (x)  Whenever
      in the administration of this Guarantee the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it
      desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right
      or taking any other action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (i) may request
      instructions from the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
      Securities, (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 conclusively relying on or acting in accordance with such
      instructions.

     

    (xi)  The
      Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted
      to be taken by it in good faith, without negligence, and reasonably believed
      by
      it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred
      upon
      it by this Guarantee.

     

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

      Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Guarantee.  The
      recitals contained in this Guarantee shall be taken as the statements of the
      Guarantor, and the Guarantee Trustee does not assume any responsibility for
      their correctness. The Guarantee Trustee makes no representation as to the
      validity or sufficiency of this Guarantee.

     

    Section
      2.4.  Events
      of Default; Waiver.

     

    (a)  An
      Event
      of Default under this Guarantee will occur upon the failure of the Guarantor
      to
      perform any of its payment or other obligations hereunder.

     

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

     

    Section
      2.5.  Events
      of Default; Notice.

     

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

     

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

      instrument of removal or resignation, the Guarantee Trustee resigning or being
      removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of

    GUARANTEE

     

    Section
      4.1.  Guarantee.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.3.  Obligations
      Not Affected.  The
      obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Guarantor under this
      Guarantee shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening
      from time to time of any of the following:

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.4.  Rights
      of Holders.

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.5.  Guarantee
      of Payment.  This
      Guarantee creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      4.8.  Enforcement
      by a Beneficiary.  A
      Beneficiary may enforce the obligations of the Guarantor contained in Section
      4.1(b) directly against the Guarantor and the Guarantor waives any right or
      remedy to require that any action be brought against the Issuer or any other
      person or entity before proceeding against the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall
      be
      subrogated to all rights (if any) of any Beneficiary against the Issuer in
      respect of any amounts paid to the Beneficiaries by the Guarantor under this
      Guarantee; provided,
      however,
      that
      the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions
      of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights that it may acquire by
      way
      of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases
      as a result of payment under this Guarantee, if at the time of any such payment,
      and after giving effect to such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under
      this Guarantee.

    LIMITATION
      OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION

     

    Section
      5.1.  Limitation
      of Transactions.  So
      long
      as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if (a) there shall have
      occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or a Declaration Event of Default
      or (b) the Guarantor shall have selected an Extension Period as provided in
      the Declaration and such period, or any extension thereof, shall have commenced
      and be continuing, then the Guarantor shall not and shall not permit any
      Affiliate to (x) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or
      redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any
      of
      the Guarantor’s or such Affiliate’s capital stock (other than payments of
      dividends or distributions to the Guarantor or payments of dividends from direct
      or indirect subsidiaries of the Guarantor to their parent corporations, which
      also shall be direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Guarantor) or make any
      guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing or (y) make any payment of
      principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem
      any debt securities of the Guarantor or any Affiliate that rank pari
      passu in
      all
      respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than, with respect
      to clauses (x) and (y) above, (i) repurchases, redemptions or other
      acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Guarantor in connection with
      any
      employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for
      the
      benefit of one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in
      connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan
      or in
      connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Guarantor (or securities
      convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in
      an
      acquisition transaction entered into prior to the occurrence of the Event of
      Default, Declaration Event of Default or Extension Period, as applicable,
      (ii) as a result of any exchange or conversion of any class or series of
      the Guarantor’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the
      Guarantor) for any class or series of the Guarantor’s capital stock or of any
      class or series of the Guarantor’s indebtedness for any class or series of the
      Guarantor’s capital stock, (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in
      shares of the Guarantor’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
      provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged,
      (iv) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholders’
rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any
      stockholders’ rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant
      thereto, (v) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other
      rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such
      warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the
      dividend is being paid or ranks pari
      passu
      with or
      junior to such stock and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares issued
      in connection therewith, (vi) payments of principal or interest on debt
      securities or payments of cash dividends or distributions on any capital stock
      issued by an Affiliate that is not, in whole or in part, a subsidiary of the
      Guarantor (or any redemptions, repurchases or liquidation payments on such
      stock
      or securities), or (vii) payments under this Guarantee).

     

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

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

    TERMINATION

     

    Section

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

    INDEMNIFICATION

     

    Section
      7.1.  Exculpation.

     

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

     

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

     

    Section
      7.2.  Indemnification.

     

    (a)  The
      Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person for, and to hold each
      Indemnified Person harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim
      or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
      the
      Indemnified Person, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
      administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including, but not limited
      to,
      the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of the
      Indemnified Person defending itself against, or investigating, any claim or
      liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the
      Indemnified Person’s powers or duties hereunder. The obligation to indemnify as
      set forth in this Section 7.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of
      the Guarantee Trustee and the termination of this Guarantee.

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

     

    Section
      7.3.  Compensation;
      Reimbursement of Expenses.  The
      Guarantor agrees:

     

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

     

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

     

    For
      purposes of clarification, this Section 7.3 does not contemplate the
      payment by the Guarantor of acceptance or annual administration fees owing
      to
      the Guarantee Trustee for services to be provided by the Guarantee Trustee
      under
      this Guarantee or the fees and expenses of the Guarantee Trustee’s counsel in
      connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee.
      The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the resignation or removal
      of the Guarantee Trustee and the termination of this Guarantee.

      Except in connection with any merger or consolidation of the Guarantor with

      another entity, in each case, to the extent permitted under the Indenture,

      of
      Holders will be required), this Guarantee may be amended only with the prior
