               (provided, that such Event of Default is not by or with respect
               to the Institutional Trustee), the taking of any action that the
               Institutional Trustee may from time to time determine is
               necessary, advisable or incidental for the foregoing to give
               effect to the terms of this Declaration and protect and conserve
               the Trust Property for the benefit of the Holders (without
               consideration of the effect of any such action on any particular
               Holder);

                    (J) to take all action that may be necessary or appropriate
               for the preservation and the continuation of the Trust's valid
               existence, rights, franchises and privileges as a statutory trust

               (iii) The Institutional Trustee shall have the power and
          authority, and is hereby authorized, to act on behalf of the Trust

                                       17

<PAGE>

          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 hereby. In particular, neither the Trustees nor the Administrators
may cause the Trust to (i) acquire any investments or engage in any activities
not 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,
(iii) take any action that would cause (or in the case of the Institutional
Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer would cause) the Trust
to fail to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes, (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 subject to reimbursement under Section 10.6(a),
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 determination of the jurisdictions 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 advisement of and direction to the Trustees 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 jurisdictions in
          connection with the sale of the Capital Securities; and

               (ii) 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, the Institutional Trustee 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 (i) the Trust
will not be deemed to be an Investment Company required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act (in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer), and (ii) the Trust will not fail to
be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes
(in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer) and (iii) the Trust will not take any action

                                       18

<PAGE>

inconsistent with the treatment of the Debt Securities as indebtedness of the
Debt Security Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes (in the case
of the Institutional Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer).
In this connection, the Institutional Trustee, 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 or this
Declaration, as amended from time to time, that each of the Institutional
Trustee, the Administrators and such Holders determine in their discretion to be
necessary or desirable for such purposes, even if such action adversely affects
the interests of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

          (e) All expenses incurred by the Administrators or the Trustees
pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be reimbursed by the Sponsor, and the
Trustees shall have no obligations with respect to such expenses.

          (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 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 3.7. Prohibition of Actions by the Trust and the Trustees.

          The Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee and the
Administrators shall not, and the Administrators shall cause the Trust not to,
engage in any activity other than as required or authorized by this Declaration.
In particular, the Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee and the
Administrators shall not cause the Trust to:

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

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

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

          (d) make any loans or incur any indebtedness other than loans
represented by the Debt Securities;

          (e) possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the
Trust Property or the terms of the Trust Securities;

                                       19

<PAGE>

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

          (g) other than as provided in this Declaration (including Annex I),
(i) direct the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities, (ii) waive any
past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to
rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all the Debt Securities
shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or
termination of the Indenture or the Debt Securities where such consent shall be
required, in each case unless the Trust shall have received an Opinion of
Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will continue
to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes.

          Section 3.8. Powers and Duties of the Institutional Trustee.

          (a) The legal title to the Debt Securities shall be owned by and held
of record in the name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit of
the Trust. The right, title and interest of the Institutional Trustee to the
Debt Securities shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be
appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 5.5. Such vesting
and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
with regard to the Debt Securities have been executed and delivered.

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

          (c) The Institutional Trustee shall:

               (i) establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing
          trust account (the "Property Account") in the United States (as
          defined in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7), in the name of
          and under the exclusive control of the Institutional Trustee, and
          maintained in the Institutional Trustee's trust department, on behalf
          of the Holders of the Trust Securities and, upon the receipt of
          payments of funds made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
          Institutional Trustee, deposit such funds into the Property Account
          and make payments to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders
          of the Common Securities from the Property Account in accordance with
          Section 6.1. 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 Trust Securities to the
          extent the Debt Securities are redeemed or mature; and

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

                                       20

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

               (ii) a Successor Institutional Trustee has been appointed and has
          accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 5.5.

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

          (h) The Institutional Trustee must exercise the powers set forth in
this Section 3.8 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes and functions
of the Trust set out in Section 3.3, and the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the
Trust set out in Section 3.3.

          (i) The Institutional Trustee shall be authorized to undertake any
actions set forth in Section 317(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          Section 3.9. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees and
the Administrators.

          (a) The Institutional Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of
Default (of which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in
Section 3.10(m) hereof)) and after the curing of all Events of Default that may
have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Declaration and no implied covenants shall be read into this
Declaration against the Institutional Trustee. In case an Event of Default (of
which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 3.10(m)
hereof)), has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section
7.7), the Institutional Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

          (c) All payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent
in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and
proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be
sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the
Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the
terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust 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 Trust Security or for any other liability in
respect of any Trust Security. This Section 3.9(c) does not limit the liability
of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Declaration or, in the
case of the Institutional Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

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

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

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

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

               (iv) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any
          interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree
          in writing with the Sponsor; and money held by the Institutional
          Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in
          relation to the Property Account maintained by the Institutional
          Trustee pursuant to Section 3.8(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 3.10. Certain Rights of Institutional Trustee. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.9:

          (a) the Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully
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;

<PAGE>

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

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

an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly
delivered by the Sponsor or the Administrators;

          (e) the Institutional Trustee shall have no duty to see to any

          (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 3.10(g) shall be taken to relieve the
Institutional Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (of which the
Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 3.10(m) hereof))
that has not been cured or waived, of its obligation to exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by this Declaration;

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

                                       24

<PAGE>

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

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

          (j) whenever in the administration of this Declaration the
Institutional Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with
respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder,
the Institutional Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the
Common Securities and the Capital Securities, which instructions may be given

Securities and the Capital Securities as would be entitled to direct the
Institutional Trustee under the terms of the Common Securities and the Capital
Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from
enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such
instructions are received, and (iii) shall be fully protected in acting in

          (l) when the Institutional Trustee incurs expenses or renders services

constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating
to creditors rights generally;

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

payment is due and payable);

          (n) any action taken by the Institutional Trustee or its agents
hereunder shall bind the Trust and the Holders of the Trust 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

                                       25

law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty

behalf of the Trust any documents, agreements, instruments or certificates that
the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be, have the power and
authority to execute pursuant to Section 3.6.

          Section 3.13. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Trust
Securities. The recitals contained in this Declaration and the Trust 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

Declaration, the Debt Securities or the Trust Securities.

          Section 3.14. Duration of Trust. The Trust, unless dissolved pursuant
to the provisions of Article VIII hereof, shall have existence for five years

          Section 3.15. Mergers. (a) The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate,
merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other
Person, except as described in this Section 3.15 and except with respect to the

          (b) The Trust may, with the consent of the Administrators (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and without the consent of the
Institutional Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Holders of the Capital
Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any
state; provided, that:

               (i) if the Trust is not the survivor, such successor entity (the
          "Successor Entity") either:

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

                                       26

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

               (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
          replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust has received an
          Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that:

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

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

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

                                       27

<PAGE>

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

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

          (c) Notwithstanding Section 3.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with
the consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to, any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the
Trust or Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

and the Prospectus and, if applicable, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, and
any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing;

          (b) to determine the jurisdictions in which to take appropriate action
to qualify or register for sale all or part of the Capital Securities and to do
any and all such acts, other than actions which must be taken by the Trust, and
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, advisable or incidental thereto in order to comply with the
applicable laws of any such jurisdictions;

          (c) to cause the Trust to file with the Commission a registration

registration of the Capital Securities under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, as the case may be, if required;

          (d) if deemed necessary or advisable by the Sponsor, to prepare for

                                    ARTICLE V

                           TRUSTEES AND ADMINISTRATORS

          Section 5.1. Number of Trustees. The number of Trustees initially
shall be two, and:

          (a) at any time before the issuance of any Trust Securities, the
Sponsor may, by written instrument, increase or decrease the number of Trustees;
and

          (b) after the issuance of any Trust Securities, the number of Trustees
may be increased or 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 5.2; 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 3.11 shall have
no application to such entity in its capacity as Institutional Trustee.

          Section 5.2. Delaware Trustee. If required by the Statutory Trust Act,
one Trustee (the "Delaware Trustee") shall be:

the requirements of applicable law, including Section 3807 of the Statutory
Trust Act.

<PAGE>

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

               (iii) be a banking corporation or national association organized
          and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
          any state thereof or of the District of Columbia or other Person
          permitted by the Commission to act as indenture trustee under the
          Trust Indenture Act and authorized under such laws to exercise
          corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
          least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to
          supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia
          authority. If such corporation, national association or other Person
          publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
          to the requirements of the supervising or examining authority referred
          to above, then for the purposes of this Section 5.3(a)(iii), the
          combined capital and surplus of such corporation, national association
          or other Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
          as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

          (b) If at any time the Institutional Trustee shall cease to be
eligible to so act under Section 5.3(a), the Institutional Trustee shall
immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set forth in Section 5.5.

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

          (d) The Guarantee shall be deemed to be specifically described in this
Declaration for purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section
310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          (e) The initial Institutional Trustee shall be Wilmington Trust
Company.

          Section 5.4. Administrators. Each Administrator shall be a U.S.
Person. There shall at all times be at least one 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 acting alone.

          Section 5.5. Appointment, Removal and Resignation of the Trustees and
the 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.

                                       30

<PAGE>

          (b) Subject to Section 5.5(a), a Relevant Trustee may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of the Trust 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 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.

          (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 Relevant
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section. 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
Relevant Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section.
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 within 30 days after delivery
of an instrument of removal, the Relevant Trustee or any Holder who has been a
Holder of the Trust 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

                                       31

<PAGE>

(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 Trust 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
Trust 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 Trust 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 5.6. Vacancies Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold
office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
Section 5.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 5.1,
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 5.5.

          Section 5.7. 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 the
Trustees in accordance with Section 5.5, the Institutional Trustee shall have

                                       32

<PAGE>

all the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties
imposed upon the Trustees by this Declaration.

          Section 5.8. Meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators. Meetings
of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be held from time to time upon the
call of any Trustee or Administrator, as applicable. Regular meetings of the
Trustees and the Administrators, respectively, may be in person in the United
States or by telephone, at a place (if applicable) and time fixed by resolution
of the Trustees or the Administrators, as applicable. Notice of any in-person
meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be hand delivered or
otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by
overnight courier) not less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any
telephonic meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators or any committee
thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by
facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours before
a meeting. Notices shall contain a brief statement of the time, place and
anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person or by
telephone) of a Trustee or an Administrator, as the case may be, at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee or an
Administrator, as the case may be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has
not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this
Declaration, any action of the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may
be, may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees or the
Administrators present (whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote
with respect to such matter; provided, that, in the case of the Administrators,
a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of
the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be. Meetings of the Trustees
and the Administrators together shall be held from time to time upon the call of
any Trustee or Administrator.

          Section 5.9. Delegation of Power. (a) Any Trustee or any
Administrator, as the case may be, may, by power of attorney consistent with
applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 that is
a U.S. Person his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents,
instruments or other writings contemplated in Section 3.6 including the
Registration Statement, or any other registration statement or amendment
thereto, filed with the Commission, or including any other governmental filing.

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

          Section 5.10. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any Person into which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, may be merged or converted or with which either may
be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the
case may be, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially
all the corporate trust business of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the successor of the Institutional Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be,

                                       33

<PAGE>

hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, provided such Person shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article and, provided, further, that such
Person shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware as contemplated in Section 5.5(i).

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

          Section 6.1. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions in
accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's Trust 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 Debt Security Issuer makes a payment of interest
(including any Additional Amounts or Deferred Interest) or premium on and/or
principal of the Debt Securities held by the Institutional Trustee (the amount
of any such payment being a "Payment Amount"), the Institutional Trustee shall
and is directed, to the extent funds are available in the Property Account for
that purpose, to make a distribution (a "Distribution") of the Payment Amount to
Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, funds in the Property Account shall not be
distributed to Holders to the extent of any taxes payable by the Trust, in the
case of withholding taxes, as determined by the Institutional Trustee or any
Paying Agent and, in the case of taxes other than withholding taxes, as
determined by the Administrators in a written notice to the Institutional
Trustee.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                          ISSUANCE OF TRUST SECURITIES

          Section 7.1. General Provisions Regarding Trust Securities.

          (a) On the Closing Date, the Administrators shall on behalf of the
Trust issue one series of securities (the Capital Securities) evidenced by a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, representing undivided
preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust and having such terms
as are set forth in Annex I, and one series of common securities (the Common
Securities) evidenced by a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2,
representing undivided common beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust
and 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
with, and payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the Common Securities
except that, where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
rights of Holders of the Common Securities to payment in respect of
Distributions and payments upon Liquidation, redemption or otherwise are
subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

          (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 Trust Securities shall cease to be such Administrator before
the Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust,

                                       34

<PAGE>

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

          (c) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the
Trust 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 Trust Securities as provided in this
Declaration, the Trust Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will entitle each Holder thereof to
the benefits provided by this Declaration.

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

          Section 7.2. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Calculation Agent and
Registrar.

          (a) The Trust shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware (i) an office or
agency where the Trust Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying
Agent") and (ii) an office or agency where Trust Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or exchange (the "Transfer Agent"). The Trust shall
keep or cause to be kept at such office or agency a register (the "Securities
Register") for the purpose of registering Trust Securities and transfers and
exchanges of Trust Securities, such Securities Register to be held by a
registrar (the "Registrar"). The Administrators may appoint the Paying Agent,
the Registrar and the Transfer Agent, and may appoint one or more additional
Paying Agents, one or more co-Registrars, or one or more co-Transfer Agents in
such other locations as it shall determine. The term "Paying Agent" includes any
additional Paying Agent, the term "Registrar" includes any additional Registrar
or co-Registrar and the term "Transfer Agent" includes any additional Transfer
Agent or co-Transfer Agent. The Administrators may change any Paying Agent,
Transfer Agent or Registrar at any time without prior notice to any Holder. The
Administrators shall notify the Institutional Trustee of the name and address of
any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar not a party to this Declaration.
The Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, may resign
upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Institutional Trustee, the
Administrators and the Sponsor. The Administrators hereby initially appoint the
Institutional Trustee to act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for
the Capital Securities and the Common Securities at its Corporate Trust Office.
The Institutional Trustee or any of its Affiliates in the

                                       35

<PAGE>

United States may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. In the event
that the Institutional Trustee is no longer the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or
Registrar, as the case may be, the Administrators shall appoint a successor
(which must be a bank or trust company acceptable to the Administrators and the
Sponsor) to act as Paying Agent.

          (b) The Trust shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Institutional Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in
trust for the benefit of Holders or the Institutional Trustee all money held by
the Paying Agent for the payment of Liquidation Amounts or Distributions and
will notify the Institutional Trustee if there are insufficient funds for such
purpose. While any such insufficiency continues, the Institutional Trustee may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Institutional Trustee.
The Trust at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to
the Institutional Trustee and to account for any money disbursed by it. Upon
payment over to the Institutional Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the
Trust or an Affiliate of the Trust) shall have no further liability for the
money. If the Trust or the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Trust or the Sponsor
acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for
the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.

          Section 7.3. Form and Dating; Global Capital Security.

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

          (b) Capital Securities offered and sold, as provided in the Purchase
Agreement, shall be initially issued in the form of a single permanent Global
Capital Security in definitive, fully registered form without distribution
coupons and shall include the legends set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto. The
Global Capital Security shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the
Capital Securities represented thereby with the Institutional Trustee, at its
Corporate Trust Office as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the
name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the
Trust and authenticated by the

                                       36

<PAGE>

Institutional Trustee as hereinafter provided. The number of Capital Securities
represented by the Global Capital Security may from time to time be increased or
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Institutional Trustee and
the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

          (c) This Section 7.3(c) shall apply only to the Global Capital
Security as may be authorized by the Trust to be deposited with or on behalf of
the Depositary.

               (i) An Administrator shall execute and the Institutional Trustee
          shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate and make
          available for delivery initially a single Global Capital Security that
          (a) shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of
          the Depositary, and (b) shall be delivered by the Institutional
          Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's written
          instructions or, if no such written instructions are received by the
          Institutional Trustee, held by the Institutional Trustee as custodian
          for the Depositary.

               (ii) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of the
          Global Capital Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Capital
          Security for all purposes under this Declaration and the Global
          Capital Security, and Capital Security Beneficial Owners shall hold
          interests in the Global Capital Security pursuant to Applicable
          Depositary Procedures. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary
          ("Participants") shall have no rights under this Declaration with
          respect to the Global Capital Security held on their behalf by the
          Depositary or by the Institutional Trustee as the custodian of the
          Depositary or under such Global Capital Security, and the Depositary,
          or its nominee, may be treated by the Trust, the Institutional Trustee
          and any agent of the Trust or the Institutional Trustee as the
          absolute owner of such Global Capital Security for all purposes
          whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
          prevent the Trust, the Institutional Trustee or any agent of the Trust
          or the Institutional Trustee from giving effect to any written
          certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
          Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants,
          the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the
          exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in the
          Global Capital Security.

               (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3(c) to the
          contrary, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder of
          the Global Capital Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize
          any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests
          through Participants, to take any action which any Holder is entitled
          to take under this Declaration or the Trust Securities.

          (d) Except as provided in Section 7.4 or 9.2(d), owners of beneficial
interests in the Global Capital Security will not be entitled to receive
physical delivery of Definitive Capital Securities.

                                       37

<PAGE>

          (e) The Trust in issuing the Capital Securities may use "CUSIP"
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Institutional Trustee shall
use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of
Capital Securities; provided, that, any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Capital Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Capital Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers. The Sponsor will promptly notify the
Institutional Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

          Section 7.4. Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Certificates are
ready for delivery, the Administrators may prepare and execute on behalf of the
Trust and, in the case of Definitive Capital Securities, the Institutional
Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate, temporary
Certificates. Temporary Certificates shall be substantially in the form of
definitive Certificates but may have variations that the Administrators consider
appropriate for temporary Certificates. Without unreasonable delay, the
Administrators shall prepare and execute on behalf of the Trust and, in the case
of the Definitive Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall, upon
receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate definitive Certificates in
exchange for temporary Certificates.

          Section 7.5. 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) the related Holder shall deliver to the Registrar, the
Administrators and the Institutional Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be reasonably required by them to keep each of them harmless;

then, in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, an Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute
(and in the case of a Capital Security Certificate, the Institutional Trustee
shall authenticate) and deliver to such Holder, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
like denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Registrar or the Administrators may require such Holder to pay
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any Certificate executed and delivered pursuant
to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in
the relevant Trust Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

          Section 7.6. Cancellation. The Administrators at any time may deliver
Certificates evidencing Trust Securities to the Institutional Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar shall forward to the Institutional Trustee any
Certificates evidencing Trust Securities surrendered to it for registration of
transfer, redemption or payment. The Institutional Trustee shall promptly cancel
all Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer, payment, replacement
or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Certificates as the
Administrators direct. The Administrators may not issue new Certificates to
replace Certificates evidencing

                                       38

<PAGE>

Trust Securities that have been paid or, except for Certificates surrendered for
purposes of the transfer or exchange of the Trust Securities evidenced thereby,
that have been delivered to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation.

          Section 7.7. Rights of Holders.

          (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 3.5,
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
Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below.
The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights
specifically set forth therein and in this Declaration. The Trust Securities
shall have no, and the issuance of the Trust Securities shall not be subject to,
preemptive or other similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders
against payment of the purchase price therefor, the Trust Securities will be
fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.

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

          (c) At any time after the acceleration of maturity of the Debt
Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided in the
Indenture, if the Institutional Trustee, subject to the provisions hereof, fails
to annul any such acceleration and waive such default, the Holders of a Majority
in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the
Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and
annul such acceleration and its consequences if:

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

                    (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Debt
               Securities;

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

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

                    (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee under
               the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, documented
               expenses,

                                       39

<PAGE>

               disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the
               Institutional Trustee, their agents and counsel; and

               (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debt Securities,
          other than the non-payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on
          the Debt Securities that has become due solely by such acceleration,
          have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.01 of the
          Indenture.

          (d) The Holders of 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 as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof.

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

          similar transaction not prohibited by the Indenture, this Declaration
          or the Guarantee, as the case may be, the filing of a certificate of
          dissolution or its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor or upon the

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

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

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

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

referred to in Section 8.1(a), and after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust as required by applicable law, including Section 3808 of
the Statutory Trust Act, and subject to the terms set forth in Annex I, the
Institutional Trustee shall terminate the Trust by filing a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

          (c) The provisions of Section 3.9 and Article X shall survive the
termination of the Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

          Section 9.1. Transfer of Trust Securities.

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

          (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 Trust Securities remain outstanding, the Sponsor shall maintain 100%
direct or indirect ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that
any permitted successor of the Company under the Indenture may succeed to the
Sponsor's ownership of the Common Securities.

          (c) In the event of the redemption of the Trust Securities issued by
the Trust, neither the Trust nor the Registrar shall be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any Trust Security as of the close of business on the
earliest date on which the notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to
all Holders of the Trust Securities.

          Section 9.2. Transfer Procedures and Restrictions.

          (a) As applicable, when Definitive Capital Securities are presented to
the Registrar or co-registrar to register the transfer of such Definitive
Capital Securities, the Registrar or co-registrar shall register the transfer or
make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Capital Securities
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trust and the Registrar or co-registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

          (b) The transfer and exchange of the Global Capital Security or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary in
accordance with this Declaration (including applicable restrictions on transfer
set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Declaration (other
than the provisions set forth in subsection (d) of this Section 9.2), the Global
Capital Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a
nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or
another nominee of the Depositary.

          (d) If at any time (i) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, (ii) the Trust, in its sole discretion, notifies the
Institutional Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of
Definitive Capital Securities under this Declaration, or (iii) the Depositary
notifies the Sponsor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for the Global Capital Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a
"clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act, and, in each case, a
clearing agency is not appointed by the Sponsor within 90 days of receipt of
such notice or of becoming aware of such condition, then an Administrator on
behalf of the Trust will execute, and the Institutional Trustee, upon receipt of
an Issuer Order requesting the authentication and delivery of Definitive Capital
Securities to the Persons designated by the Trust, will authenticate and make
available for delivery Definitive Capital Securities, equal in number to the
number of Capital Securities represented by the Global Capital Security, in
exchange for such Global Capital Security. Any portion of the Global Capital
Security transferred pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names
as the Depositary shall direct.

          (e) At such time as all beneficial interests in the Global Capital
Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Capital Securities to the
extent permitted by this Declaration or redeemed, repurchased or canceled in
accordance with the terms of this Declaration, such Global Capital Security
shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by
the Institutional Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any
beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security is exchanged for Definitive
Capital Securities, Capital Securities represented by such Global Capital
Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and
records of the Institutional Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee to
reflect such reduction.

                                       42

<PAGE>

          (f) (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, an
Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Institutional Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate Definitive Capital
Securities and the Global Capital Security at the Registrar's or co-registrar's
request in accordance with the terms of this Declaration.

               (ii) Registrations of transfers or exchanges will be effected
          without charge, but only upon payment in respect of any tax or other
          governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to it other than
          exchanges pursuant to Section 7.4 not involving any transfer.

               (iii) In the event of the redemption of the Capital Securities,
          the Registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the
          transfer of or exchange any Capital Securities as of the close of
          business on the earliest date on which the notice of redemption is
          deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Capital Securities.

               (iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer
          of any Capital Security, the Trust, the Institutional Trustee, the
          Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat the
          Person in whose name a Capital Security is registered as the absolute
          owner of such Capital Security for the purpose of receiving
          Distributions on such Capital Security and for all other purposes
          whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Institutional Trustee, the
          Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by
          notice to the contrary.

               (v) All Capital Securities issued upon any registration of
          transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Declaration shall
          evidence the same security and shall be entitled to the same benefits
          under this Declaration as the Capital Securities surrendered upon such
          registration of transfer or exchange.

          (g) (i) Neither the Administrators nor the Institutional Trustee shall
have any responsibility or obligation to any Capital Security Beneficial Owner,
a Participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of
the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant thereof, with
respect to any ownership interest in the Capital Securities or with respect to
the delivery to any Participant, Capital Security Beneficial Owner or other
Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of
redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Capital
Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all
payments to be made to Holders under the Capital Securities shall be given or
made only to or upon the order of the Holders (which shall be the Depositary or
its nominee in the case of the Global Capital Security).

          The rights of Capital Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised
only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of
the Depositary. The Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary or any
agent thereof with respect to its Participants and any Capital Security
Beneficial Owners.

                                       43

<PAGE>

               (ii) The Institutional Trustee and the Registrar shall have no
          obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
          with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Declaration or
          under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in
          any Capital Security (including any transfers between or among
          Depositary Participants or Capital Security Beneficial Owners) other
          than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation
          or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
          expressly required by, the terms of this Declaration, and to examine
          the same to determine whether or not on their face they comply as to
          form with the express requirements hereof.

          Section 9.3. Deemed Security Holders. The Trust, the Administrators,
the Trustees, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name any Trust Security shall be registered on the
Securities Register of the Trust as the sole Holder and owner of such Trust
Security for purposes of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes
whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to or interest in such Trust Security on the part of any other
Person, whether or not the Trust, the Administrators, the Trustees, the Paying
Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar shall have actual or other notice
thereof.

          Section 9.4. Book-Entry Capital Security.

          The Global Capital Security shall initially be registered on the books
and records of the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
Depositary, and no Capital Security Beneficial Owner will receive physical
delivery of Definitive Capital Securities representing such Capital Security
Beneficial Owner's interests in such Global Capital Security, except as provided
in Section 9.2 and Section 7.4. Unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
have been issued to the Capital Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
9.2 or Section 7.4:

          (a) the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall be in full force and
effect;

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

          (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4 conflict
with any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section
9.4 shall control; and

          (d) the rights of the Capital Security Beneficial Owners shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established
by law, the Applicable Depositary Procedures and agreements between such Capital
Security Beneficial Owners and the Depositary and/or the Depositary
Participants, and the Depositary shall receive and transmit payments of
Distributions on the Global Capital Security to such Depositary Participants;
provided, however, that solely for the purposes of determining whether the
Holders of the requisite amount of Capital Securities have voted on any matter
provided for in this Declaration, the Trustees, with respect to the Global
Capital Security, may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying
on, any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustees by

                                       44

<PAGE>

the Depositary setting forth the Capital Security Beneficial Owners' votes or
assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons either in whole
or in part; and the Depositary will also make book-entry transfers among the
Depositary Participants.

          (e) Notices to Depositary.

          To the extent that a notice or other communication to Holders is
required to be given by a Trustee under this Declaration, for so long as the
Capital Securities are represented by the Global Capital Security, such Trustee
shall give all such notices and communications to the Depositary and shall have
no obligations to the Capital Security Beneficial Owners.

          Section 9.5. Appointment of Successor Depositary.

          If any Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities
depositary with respect to the Capital Securities, the Administrators may, in
their sole discretion, appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such
Capital Securities.

                                    ARTICLE X

                           LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF
                 HOLDERS OF TRUST SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

          Section 10.1. Liability. (a) Except as expressly set forth in this
Declaration, the Guarantee and the terms of the Trust Securities, the Sponsor
shall not be:

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

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

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

          (c) Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the
Holders of the Trust Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit
organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, except as
otherwise specifically set forth herein.

          Section 10.2. Exculpation. (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered
Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the
Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within
the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this
Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person (other than an
Administrator) shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by
reason of such Indemnified

                                       45

<PAGE>

Person's negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to such acts
or omissions and except that an Administrator shall be liable for any such loss,
damage or claim incurred by reason of such Administrator's gross negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to such acts or omissions.

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

          Section 10.3. Fiduciary Duty. (a) To the extent that, at law or in
equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an
Indemnified Person acting under this Declaration shall not be liable to the
Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the
extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person
otherwise existing at law or in equity (other than the duties imposed on the
Institutional Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties
hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person.

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

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

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

          Section 10.4. Indemnification. (a)

               (i) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted
          by law, any Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened
          to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
          suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
          investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Trust)
          by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an Indemnified Person
          against expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments,
          fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
          by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
          such Person acted in

                                       46

<PAGE>

          good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or
          not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to
          any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
          such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
          proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea
          of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
          presumption that the Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and
          in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not
          opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any
          criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that
          such conduct was unlawful.

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

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

               (iv) Any indemnification of an Administrator under paragraphs (i)
          and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be
          made by the Sponsor only as authorized in the specific case upon a
          determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper
          in the circumstances because such Person has met the applicable
          standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such
          determination shall be made (A) by the Administrators by a majority
          vote of a Quorum consisting of such Administrators who were not
          parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (B) if such a Quorum is
          not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested
          Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
          opinion, or (C) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.

                                       47

<PAGE>

               (v) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including
          attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
          defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
          suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this
          Section 10.4(a) shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final
          disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
          undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such
          amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not
          entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor as authorized in this
          Section 10.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be
          made by the Sponsor if a determination is reasonably and promptly made
          (1) in the case of a Company Indemnified Person (A) by the
          Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested
          Administrators, (B) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
          obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Administrators so directs, by
          independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (C) by the Common
          Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to the
          Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the time such
          determination is made, such Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or
          in a manner that such Person either believed to be opposed to or did
          not believe to be in the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect
          to any criminal proceeding, that such Indemnified Person believed or
          had reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, or (2) in
          the case of a Fiduciary Indemnified Person, by independent legal
          counsel in a written opinion that, based upon the facts known to the
          counsel at the time such determination is made, such Indemnified
          Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such Indemnified Person
          either believed to be opposed to or did not believe to be in the best
          interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
          that such Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to
          believe such conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be
          made (i) to a Company Indemnified Person in instances where the
          Administrators, independent legal counsel or the Common Security
          Holder reasonably determine that such Person deliberately breached
          such Person's duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security
          Holders or (ii) to a Fiduciary Indemnified Person in instances where
          independent legal counsel promptly and reasonably determines in a
          written opinion that such Person deliberately breached such Person's
          duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security Holders.

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

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

          Section 10.5. Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the
Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee (subject to Section 5.3(c)) may
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or
description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business
of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Trust 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

                                       49

<PAGE>

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 10.6. Compensation; Fee. (a) The Sponsor agrees:

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

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

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

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                   ACCOUNTING

          Section 11.1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year (the "Fiscal Year") of the
Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

          Section 11.2. Certain Accounting Matters.

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

          (b) The Administrators shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered
to each of the Holders of Trust 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 Trust Securities held by each Holder as is
required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

                                       50

<PAGE>

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

          Section 11.3. Banking. The Trust shall maintain one or more bank
accounts in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
Section 301.7701-7, in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided,
however, that all payments of funds in respect of the Debt Securities 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 11.4. Withholding. The Institutional Trustee or any Paying
Agent and the Administrators shall comply with all withholding requirements
under United States federal, state and local law. The Institutional Trustee or
any Paying Agent shall request, and each Holder shall provide to the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent, such forms or certificates as are
necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to the Holder,
and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent to assist it in determining the extent
of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Administrators shall
file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from
withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld
with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent is required to withhold and pay over
any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any
Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution to the Holder
in the amount of the withholding. In the event of any claimed overwithholding,
Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If
the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions
made, the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent may reduce subsequent
Distributions by the amount of such withholding.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                             AMENDMENTS AND MEETINGS

          Section 12.1. Amendments. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this
Declaration or by any applicable terms of the Trust Securities, this Declaration
may only be amended by a written instrument approved and executed by

               (i) the Institutional Trustee,

                                       51

<PAGE>

               (ii) if the amendment affects the rights, powers, duties,
          obligations or immunities of the Delaware Trustee, the Delaware
          Trustee,

          Common Securities.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII, no
amendment shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and
ineffective:

               (i) unless the Institutional Trustee shall have first received

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

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

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

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

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

               Capital Securities as "Tier 1 Capital" (or its then equivalent)
               for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal
               Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction
               over bank holding companies).

          (c) Except as provided in Section 12.1(d), (e) or (g), no amendment
shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and ineffective,
unless the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities
shall have consented to such amendment.

          (d) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
Declaration, without the consent of each affected Holder, this Declaration may
not be amended to (i) change

                                       52

<PAGE>

the amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or any
redemption or liquidation provisions applicable to the Trust Securities or
otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in
respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified date, (ii) restrict the right
of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any Distributions or other
amounts on or after their due date, or (iii) change Section 3.8(e).

          (e) Sections 10.1(b) and 10.1(c) and this Section shall not be amended
without the consent of all of the Holders of the Trust Securities.

          (f) The rights of the Holders of the Capital Securities and Common
Securities, as applicable, under Article IV to increase or decrease the number

Capital Securities to:

               (i) cure any ambiguity;

               (ii) correct or supplement any provision in this Declaration that
          may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this
          Declaration;

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

          including, without limitation, to ensure that the Trust will be
          classified for United States federal income tax purposes at all times
          as a grantor trust and will not be required to register as an
          Investment Company under the Investment Company Act (including without
          limitation to conform to any change in Rule 3a-5, Rule 3a-7 or any
          other applicable rule under the Investment Company Act or written
          change in interpretation or application thereof by any legislative
          body, court, government agency or regulatory authority)

          provided, however, that no such amendment contemplated in clause (i),
          (ii), (iii), or (iv) shall adversely affect the powers, preferences,
          rights or interests of Holders of Capital Securities.

          Section 12.2. Meetings of the Holders of the Trust Securities; Action
by Written Consent.

          (a) Meetings of the Holders of the Trust Securities may be called at
any time by the Administrators (or as provided in the terms of such Trust
Securities) to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such Trust
Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of
such Trust Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Capital
Securities are listed or admitted for trading, if any. The Administrators shall
call a meeting of the Holders of such Trust Securities if directed to do so by
the Holders of not less than 10% in Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities.
Such direction shall be given by

                                       53

<PAGE>

delivering to the Administrators one or more notices in a writing stating that
the signing Holders of such Trust Securities wish to call a meeting and
indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be
called. Any Holders of Trust Securities calling a meeting shall specify in
writing the Certificates held by the Holders of the Trust Securities exercising
the right to call a meeting and only those Trust 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 Trust
Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of the
Trust Securities:

               (i) Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders
          of the Trust 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 Trust Securities is
          permitted or required under this Declaration or the rules of any stock
          exchange on which the Capital Securities are listed or admitted for
          trading, if any, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a
          meeting of the Holders of the Trust Securities. Any action that may be
          taken at a meeting of the Holders of the Trust 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 Trust Securities owning not less
          than the minimum Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities that would be
          necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
          Holders of the Trust 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 Trust Securities entitled
          to vote who have not consented in writing. The Administrators may
          specify that any written ballot submitted to the Holders of the Trust
          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 Trust Security may authorize any Person to
          act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Trust
          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 Trust 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 Trust Securities were stockholders
          of a Delaware corporation. Each meeting of the Holders of the Trust
          Securities shall be conducted by the Administrators or by such other
          Person that the Administrators may designate.

               (iii) Unless the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms
          of the Trust Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules
          of any stock exchange on which the Capital Securities are then listed
          or admitted for trading, if any,

                                       54

<PAGE>

          otherwise provides, the Administrators, in their sole discretion,
          shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings of Holders
          of Trust 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 Trust Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent
          without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum
          requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with
          respect to the exercise of any such right to vote; provided, however,
          that each meeting shall be conducted in the United States (as that
          term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7).

                                     ANNEX I

                                 TERMS OF [___]%
                    CAPITAL SECURITIES AND COMMON SECURITIES

          Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust, dated as of [ ] (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the
designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and
provisions of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities (collectively,
the "Trust Securities") are set out below (each capitalized term used but not
defined herein has the meaning set forth in the Declaration):

          1. Designation and Number.

          (a) Capital Securities. [    ] Capital Securities of Fulton Capital
Trust III (the "Trust"), with an aggregate Liquidation Amount with respect to
the assets of the Trust at any one time outstanding of [    ] Dollars ($[    ])
and a Liquidation Amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per
Capital Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only
as "[___]% Capital Securities" (the "Capital Securities"). The Certificates
evidencing the Capital Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions
therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform
to the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on or in which the
Capital Securities are listed, traded or quoted, if any.

          (b) Common Securities. [    ] Common Securities of the Trust (the
"Common Securities") will be evidenced by Definitive Common Securities
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes
and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary
usage, custom or practice. In the absence of an Event of Default, the Common
Securities will have an aggregate Liquidation Amount with respect to the assets
of the Trust of [    ] Dollars ($[    ]) and a Liquidation Amount with respect
to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per Common Security.

          2. Distributions.

          (a) Distributions payable on each Trust Security will be payable at a
rate of interest equal to [___]% per annum (such rate is referred to herein as
the "Coupon Rate"). Distributions in arrears for more than one Distribution
Period will bear interest thereon, compounded semi-annually, at the Coupon Rate
for each Distribution Period thereafter (to the extent permitted by applicable
law). The term "Distributions", as used herein, includes cash Distributions, any
such compounded Distributions, and any Additional Amounts payable on the Debt
Securities unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent
that payments are made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds
legally available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any Distribution Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

                                      A-I-1

<PAGE>

          The term "Distribution Period", as used herein, means (i) in the case
of the first Distribution Period, the period from, and including, the date of
original issuance of the Trust Securities to, but excluding, the initial
Distribution Payment Date and (ii) thereafter, from, and including, the first
day following the end of the preceding Distribution Period to, but excluding,
the applicable Distribution Payment Date or, in the case of the last
Distribution Period, the related date of redemption.

          (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities will be cumulative, will
accrue from the date of original issuance, and will be payable, subject to
extension of Distribution Periods as described herein, semi-annually in arrears
on [_________] and [_________] of each year, commencing on [_________] (each, a
"Distribution Payment Date"), and on any earlier date of redemption, as
applicable. The Debt Security Issuer has the right under certain circumstances
specified in the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debt Securities
by extending the interest payment period for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual
periods (each such extended interest payment period, together with all previous
and future consecutive extensions thereof, is referred to herein as an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debt Securities,
subject to the conditions described below and in the Indenture. No Extension
Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date or extend beyond
the Maturity Date or the Special Redemption Date, as the case may be (each such
term as defined herein). During any Extension Period, interest will continue to
accrue on the Debt Securities, and interest on such accrued interest (such
accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest")
will accrue, at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate compounded semi-annually
from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were it not for the
Extension Period, to the extent permitted by applicable law. At the end of any
Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer shall pay all Deferred Interest then
accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that during any
Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer may not (i) declare or pay any
dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Debt Security Issuer's capital
stock, (ii) make any payment of principal or premium or interest on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Debt Security Issuer that rank
in all respects pari passu with or junior in interest to the Debt Securities or
(iii) make any payment under any guarantees of the Debt Security Issuer that
rank in all respects pari passu with or junior in interest to the Guarantee
(other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of
capital stock of the Debt Security Issuer (A) in connection with any employment
contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of
one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (B) in connection
with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in
connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Debt Security 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 Debt Security Issuer's capital stock (or any capital stock of a
subsidiary of the Debt Security Issuer) for any class or series of the Debt
Security Issuer's capital stock or of any class or series of the Debt Security
Issuer's indebtedness for any class or series of the Debt Security Issuer's
capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Debt
Security Issuer's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged,
(d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholder's rights
plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholder's
rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (e)
any dividend in the form of

                                      A-I-2

<PAGE>

stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock
issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same
stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or
junior in interest to such stock). Prior to the termination of any Extension
Period, the Debt Security Issuer may further extend such Extension Period,
provided, that no Extension Period (including all previous and further
consecutive extensions that are part of such Extension Period) shall exceed 10
consecutive semi-annual periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period
and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the Debt Security Issuer may
commence a new Extension Period, subject to the requirements herein and in the
Indenture. No interest or Deferred Interest (except any Additional Amounts that
may be due and payable) shall be due and payable during an Extension Period,
except at the end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall accrue upon each
installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during
such Extension Period until such installment is paid.

          As a consequence of any Extension Period, Distributions will be
deferred. Notwithstanding any such deferral, Distributions will continue to
accrue on the Trust Securities, and Distributions on such accrued Distributions
will accrue, at the Coupon Rate applicable during such Extension Period,
compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If
Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that
such Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Trust Securities as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust on the regular record date
immediately preceding the Distribution Payment Date on which such Extension
Period terminates to the extent that the Trust has funds legally available for
the payment of such Distributions in the Property Account of the Trust.

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

          (c) Distributions on the Trust Securities, other than Distributions
payable on any redemption date that is not a Distribution Payment Date, will be
payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the
Registrar on the relevant regular record dates. The relevant "regular record
dates" shall be 15 days before the relevant Distribution Payment Dates.
Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on
any Distribution Payment Date, as a result of the Debt Security Issuer having
failed to make a payment under the Debt Securities, 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 Trust Securities are registered on the original
relevant regular record date, and such defaulted Distributions will instead be
payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the
regular record date preceding the Distribution Payment Date on which the related
Extension Period terminates or, in the absence of an Extension Period, a special
record date therefor selected by the Administrators.

          (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 Trust
Securities.

                                      A-I-3

<PAGE>

          (e) If any Distribution Payment Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, then Distributions payable on such Distribution Payment Date will
be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional Distributions
will accrue in respect of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

          3. Upon Dissolution. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust (each, a
"Liquidation"), the Holders of the Trust Securities will be entitled to receive
out of the assets of the Trust legally available for distribution to Holders of
the Trust Securities, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the
Trust (to the extent not satisfied by the Debt Security Issuer), an amount in
cash equal to the aggregate of the Liquidation Amount of $1,000 per Trust
Security plus unpaid Distributions accrued thereon to the date of payment
(collectively, the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless: (i) the Debt Securities
have been redeemed in full in accordance with the terms thereof and of the
Indenture; or (ii) the Debt Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities and bearing accrued
and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions
on such Trust Securities, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all
claims and obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the
Statutory Trust Act, shall be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of
the Trust Securities in exchange for such Trust Securities.

          The Sponsor, as the Holder of all of the Common Securities, has the
right at any time, upon receipt by the Debt Security Issuer and the
Institutional Trustee for the benefit of the Trust of (i) an opinion of
nationally recognized tax counsel that Holders will not recognize any gain or
loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the
distribution of Debt Securities, to dissolve the Trust (including, without
limitation, upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a
Capital Treatment Event, each as defined herein) and (ii) prior approval from
the Federal Reserve or any such successor regulatory agency (if then required
under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve or any
such successor regulatory agency) and, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust, cause the Debt Securities to be distributed to the
Holders of the Trust Securities on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the
aggregate Liquidation Amount thereof.

          The Trust shall dissolve on the first to occur of (i) [_________], the
expiration of the term of the Trust, (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the
Sponsor, the Trust or the Debt Security Issuer, (iii) (other than in connection
with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction not prohibited by the
Indenture, the Declaration or the Guarantee, as the case may be) the filing of a
certificate of dissolution or its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor or upon
the revocation of the charter of the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after
the date of revocation without a reinstatement thereof, (iv) the distribution of
all of the Debt Securities to the Holders of the Trust Securities, upon exercise
of the right of the Holders of all of the outstanding Common Securities to
dissolve the Trust as described above, (v) the entry of a decree of a judicial
dissolution of any Holder of the Common Securities, the Sponsor, the Trust or
the Debt Security Issuer, (vi) when all of the Trust Securities are then subject
to redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have been
paid to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Trust Securities or
(vii) before the issuance of any Trust Securities, with the consent of all of
the Trustees and the Sponsor. As soon as practicable after the dissolution of
the Trust and upon

                                      A-I-4

<PAGE>

completion of the winding up of the Trust, the Trust shall terminate upon the
filing of a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware.

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

          If, upon any Liquidation of the Trust, the Liquidation Distribution
can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to
pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable
directly by the Trust on the Trust 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, then the Capital Securities shall have a preference
over the Common Securities with regard to such amounts.

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

          After the date for any distribution of the Debt Securities upon any
Liquidation of the Trust, (i) the Trust Securities of the Trust will be deemed
to be no longer outstanding, (ii) any certificates representing the Capital
Securities will be deemed to represent undivided beneficial interests in such of
the Debt Securities as have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of such Capital Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid
interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Capital Securities
until such certificates are presented to the Debt Security Issuer or its agent
for transfer or reissuance (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no
payments shall be made to Holders of Trust Securities in respect of any payments
due and payable under the Debt Securities) and (iii) all rights of Holders of
Trust Securities shall cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Debt
Securities upon surrender of certificates representing such Trust Securities.

          4. Redemption and Distribution.

          (a) The Debt Securities will mature on [_________] (the "Maturity
Date") at an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
unpaid interest accrued thereon to such date (the "Maturity Redemption Price").
Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event
or a Capital Treatment Event, the Debt Securities may be redeemed by the Debt
Security Issuer, at its option, in whole but not in part, at any time within 90
days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or
Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be (the "Special Redemption Date"), at
the Special Redemption Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior
written notice to holders of the Debt Securities so long as such Tax Event,
Investment Company Event or Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be, is
continuing. The right of the Debt Security Issuer to redeem the Debt Securities
prior to maturity is subject to the Debt Security Issuer and the Trust having
received prior approval from the Federal Reserve, if then required under
applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve.

          "Tax Event" means the receipt by the Debt Security Issuer and the
Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that,
as a result of any amendment to or change (including any announced prospective
change) in the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of
any official administrative pronouncement (including any private letter ruling,
technical advice memorandum, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement (an
"Administrative Action")) or judicial decision interpreting or applying such
laws or regulations, regardless of whether such Administrative Action or
judicial decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving the
Debt Security 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 Debt Securities, 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 Debt Securities; (ii) if the Debt Security Issuer is
then organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof or the District of Columbia interest payable by the Debt Security Issuer
on the Debt Securities is not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion,
will not be, deductible by the Debt Security Issuer, in whole or in part, for
United States federal income tax purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be
within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to or otherwise required to
pay, or required to withhold from Distributions to Holders of Trust Securities,
more than a de minimis amount of other taxes (including withholding taxes),
duties, assessments or other governmental charges.

          "Capital Treatment Event" means, if the Debt Security Issuer is then
organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof
or the District of Columbia, the receipt by the Debt Security Issuer and the
Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that,
as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or regulations of
the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein or any
guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory agency or authority, or as
the result of any official or administrative pronouncement or action or judicial
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 Debt Securities,
there is

                                      A-I-6

<PAGE>

more than an insubstantial risk that the Debt Security Issuer will not, within
90 days of the date of such opinion, be entitled to treat an amount equal to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities as "Tier 1 Capital" (or
the then equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of
the Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction
over bank holding companies), or any capital adequacy guidelines as then in
effect and applicable to the Debt Security Issuer; provided, however, that the
inability of the Debt Security Issuer to treat all or any portion of the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities as "Tier 1 Capital" shall
not constitute the basis for a Capital Treatment Event if such inability results
from the Debt Security Issuer having preferred stock, minority interests in
consolidated subsidiaries and any other class of security or interest which the
Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over
bank holding companies) may now or hereafter accord "Tier 1 Capital" treatment
that, in the aggregate, exceed the amount which may now or hereafter qualify for
treatment as "Tier 1 Capital" under applicable capital adequacy guidelines of
the Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction
over bank holding companies); provided, further, however, that the distribution
of the Debt Securities in connection with the Liquidation of the Trust by the
Debt Security Issuer shall not in and of itself constitute a Capital Treatment
Event unless such Liquidation shall have occurred in connection with a Tax Event
or an Investment Company Event.

          "Investment Company Event" means the receipt by the Debt Security
Issuer and the Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the
effect that as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or
regulations of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
therein, or as the result of any official or administrative pronouncement or
action or judicial 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
Debt Securities, 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.

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

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

<TABLE>

          (b) Upon any repayment of the Debt Securities at maturity or upon
redemption (other than following the distribution of the Debt Securities to the
Holders of the Trust Securities), the proceeds from such repayment shall
concurrently be applied to redeem Pro Rata, at a redemption price corresponding
to the applicable Maturity Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price for the
Debt Securities, as the case may be, Trust Securities having an aggregate
Liquidation Amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities so repaid; provided, however, that Holders of such Trust Securities
shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice of
such redemption (other than a redemption resulting from the maturity of the Debt
Securities on the Maturity Date).

          (c) If fewer than all the outstanding Trust 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 as described in
Paragraph 4(f) below.

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

          (e) Written notice of any redemption of, or written notice of
distribution of the Debt Securities in exchange for, the Trust Securities (a
"Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the Trust by mail to each
Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor
more than 60 days before the date of redemption or exchange thereof which, in
the case of a redemption, will be the date of redemption of the Debt Securities.
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), 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
Trust Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the
Holders of such Trust Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing on
the books and records of the Registrar. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution
Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the
validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other
Holder.

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

          (g) If the Trust Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may only be issued if the Debt
Securities are redeemed or repaid as set out in this Paragraph (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 Debt Securities, the Institutional Trustee will, with respect to the
Book-Entry Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Depositary for such
Book-

                                      A-I-8

<PAGE>

Entry Capital Securities, the price payable upon redemption of the Trust
Securities, and will give such Depositary irrevocable instructions and authority
to pay the price payable upon redemption of such Book-Entry Capital Securities
to Capital Security Beneficial Owners. With respect to Capital Securities that
are non Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee will pay the
price payable upon redemption of such Capital Securities to the Holders of such
Trust Securities by check mailed to the address of each such Holder appearing on
the books and records of the Trust on the related date of redemption. 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 Trust Securities so subject
to redemption and all rights of Holders of such Trust Securities so subject to
redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Trust Securities
to receive the applicable price specified in Paragraph 4(a), but without
interest on such price. If any date of redemption of the Trust Securities falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of all amounts payable on such
date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional
Distributions will accrue in respect of such payment on such next succeeding
Business Day. If any amount payable upon redemption of the Trust Securities is
improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust, the Debt
Security Issuer or the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee,
Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accrue at the Coupon
Rate applicable from the date of redemption to the actual date of payment, in
which case the actual payment date will be considered the date of redemption for
purposes of calculating the price payable upon redemption of the Trust
Securities. In the event of the redemption of the Capital Securities issued by
the Trust, the Trust shall not be required to register the transfer of or
exchange any Capital Securities as of the close of business on the earliest date
on which the notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of
the Capital Securities

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

          (i) 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 not less than 10% in Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities.

          (b) Subject to the requirements of obtaining a tax opinion by the
Institutional Trustee in certain circumstances set forth in the last sentence of
this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities, voting separately as a class, have the right to direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time,
method, place of

                                      A-I-9

<PAGE>

conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to
the Debt Securities, (ii) waiving any past default and its consequences that are
waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercising any right to rescind or annul an
acceleration of the principal of all the Debt Securities or (iv) consenting on
behalf of all the Holders of the Capital Securities to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debt Securities where such
consent shall be required; provided, however, that, where a consent or action
under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the holders of greater
than a simple majority in principal amount of Debt Securities (a "Super
Majority") affected thereby, the Institutional Trustee may only give such
consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of not less
than the proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities outstanding
which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount
of the Debt Securities outstanding. If the Institutional Trustee fails to
enforce its rights under the Debt Securities after the Holders of a Majority or
Super Majority, as the case may be, in Liquidation Amount of such Capital
Securities have so directed the Institutional Trustee, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, a Holder of the Capital Securities may institute a legal
proceeding directly against the Debt Security Issuer to enforce the
Institutional Trustee's rights under the Debt Securities 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
Debt Security Issuer to pay interest, or premium, if any, on or principal of the
Debt Securities on the date such interest, premium, if any, or principal is
payable (or in the case of redemption, the date of redemption), then a Holder of
the Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of
payment, on or after the respective due dates specified in the Debt Securities,
to such Holder directly of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
the Debt Securities 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 Debt Securities
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 Debt Securities. Such notice shall state that such Indenture Event of
Default also constitutes an Event of Default hereunder. The Institutional
Trustee shall not take any of the actions described in clause (i), (ii), (iii)
or (iv) 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.

          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 Trust 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 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

                                     A-I-10

<PAGE>

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 Debt Securities in accordance with the
Declaration and the terms of the Trust 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 Holder of the Common Securities is entitled, in accordance
with Article V of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any
Administrators.

          (c) Subject to Paragraph 2.6 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 Holder 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 Indenture Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities, (ii) waiving any past default and its consequences that are waivable
under the Indenture, or (iii) exercising any right to rescind or annul an
acceleration of the principal of all the Debt Securities. 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 Indenture Trustee as set forth above, the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that
for the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action. If the
Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the 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.

                                     A-I-11

<PAGE>

          Any approval or direction of the Holder 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 Trust Securities in the
Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Administrators will cause a notice of
any meeting at which the Holder of the Common Securities is entitled to vote, or
of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holder is to be
taken, to be mailed to the 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 Holder is 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 Holder of the Common Securities will be
required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities or to distribute
the Debt Securities in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the
Trust Securities.

          7. Amendments to Declaration and Indenture. In addition to any
requirements under Section 12.1 of the Declaration, if any proposed amendment to
the Declaration provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i)
any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights
of the Trust Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or
otherwise, or (ii) the Liquidation of the Trust, other than as described in
Section 8.1 of the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Trust
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 a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
the Trust 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 Holders of the affected
Trust Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such
amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the
Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities.

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

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be
made to the Declaration if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the
Trust to fail to be classified for purposes of United States federal income
taxation as a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the
powers of the Institutional Trustee or (iii) cause the Trust to be

                                     A-I-12

<PAGE>

deemed an Investment Company which is required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act.

          (c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Declaration, the right of any
Holder of the Capital Securities to receive payment of Distributions and
payments upon redemption, Liquidation 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 Trust Securities to any
payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to
each Holder of the Trust Securities according to the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Trust Securities outstanding unless, in
relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in
which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each
Holder of the Capital Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of the Capital Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Capital Securities outstanding, and only
after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Capital Securities,
to each Holder of the Common Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative
to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Common Securities outstanding.

          9. Ranking. The Capital Securities rank pari passu with, and payment
thereon shall be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that, where an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the
Common Securities to receive payment of Distributions and payments upon
Liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights of the
Holders of the Capital Securities with the result that no payment of any
Distribution on, or any amount payable upon the redemption of, any Common
Security, and no payment to the Holder of any Common Security on account of the
Liquidation of the Trust, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of (i)
all accrued and unpaid Distributions on all outstanding Capital Securities for
all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior thereto, (ii) all amounts
payable upon Capital Securities then subject to redemption and (iii) all amounts
payable upon Capital Securities in the event of the Liquidation of the Trust, in
each case, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately
available to the Institutional Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in
full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) above that
are then due and payable.

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

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

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

                       [FORM OF FACE OF CAPITAL SECURITY]

SECURITY IS A GLOBAL CAPITAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE DECLARATION (AS
DEFINED BELOW) AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY
(THE "DTC") OR A NOMINEE OF DTC. THIS CAPITAL SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR
CAPITAL SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN DTC OR ITS

TRANSFER OF THIS CAPITAL SECURITY (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS CAPITAL
SECURITY AS A WHOLE BY DTC TO A NOMINEE OF DTC OR BY A NOMINEE OF DTC TO DTC OR

                      [FORM OF REVERSE OF CAPITAL SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each Capital Security will be payable at a
rate of interest per annum, which, with respect to any Distribution Period (as
defined herein), will be equal to [___]% (the "Coupon Rate"). Distributions in
arrears for more than one Distribution Period will bear interest thereon,
compounded semi-annually, at the applicable Coupon Rate for each Distribution
Period thereafter (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions," as used herein, includes cash Distributions, any such
compounded Distributions and any Additional Amounts payable on the Debt
Securities unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent
that payments are made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds
legally available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any Distribution Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

          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 semi-annually in arrears on [_________] and [_________] of
each year, commencing on [_________], and on any date of redemption (each, a
"Distribution Payment Date"), subject to the Business Day convention specified
in the Declaration. The Debt Security Issuer has the right under certain
circumstances specified in the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the
Debt Securities by extending the interest payment period for up to 10
consecutive semi-annual periods (each such extended interest payment period,
together with all previous and future consecutive extensions thereof, is
referred to herein as an "Extension Period") at any time and from time to time
on the Debt Securities, subject to the conditions described below and in the
Declaration and the Indenture. No Extension Period may end on a date other than
a Distribution Payment Date or extend beyond the Maturity Date or the Special
Redemption Date, as the case may be. During any Extension Period, interest will
continue to accrue on the Debt Securities, and interest on such accrued interest
(such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred
Interest") will accrue, at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate, compounded
semi-annually from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were
it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by applicable law. At
the end of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer shall pay all Deferred
Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that
prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer may
further extend such Extension Period, provided, that no Extension Period
(including all previous and further consecutive extensions that are part of such
Extension Period) shall exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods. Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred
Interest, the Debt Security Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject
to the requirements set forth herein and in the Declaration and the Indenture.
No interest or Deferred Interest (except any Additional Amounts that may be due
and payable) shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the
end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall accrue upon each installment of
interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension
Period until such installment is paid.

          As a consequence of any Extension Period, Distributions will be
deferred. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on
the date that the related Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Capital
Securities as they appear on the books and

records of the Trust on the regular record date immediately preceding the
Distribution Payment Date on which such Extension Period terminates to the
extent that the Trust has funds legally available for the payment of such
Distributions in the Property Account of the Trust.

          The Capital Securities shall be redeemable, and shall be entitled to
the Liquidation Distribution, as provided in the Declaration.

          Distributions payable on each Common Security will be identical in
amount to the Distributions payable on each Capital Security, which is at a rate
of interest per annum, which, with respect to any Distribution Period (as
defined herein) (such rate, is referred to herein as the "Coupon Rate").
Distributions in arrears for more than one Distribution Period will bear
interest thereon, compounded semi-annually, at the applicable Coupon Rate for
each Distribution Period thereafter (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
The term "Distributions," as used herein, includes cash Distributions, any such
compounded Distributions and any Additional Amounts payable on the Debt
Securities, unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the
extent that payments are made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds
legally available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any Distribution Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30 day months.

          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 semi-annually in arrears on [_________] and [_________] of
each year, commencing on [_________], and on any date of redemption (each, a
"Distribution Payment Date"), subject to the Business Day convention specified
in the Declaration. The Debt Security Issuer has the right under certain
circumstances specified in the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the
Debt Securities by extending the interest payment period for up to 10
consecutive semi-annual periods (each such extended interest payment period,
together with all previous and future consecutive extensions thereof, is
referred to herein as an "Extension Period") at any time and from time to time
on the Debt Securities, subject to the conditions described below and in the
Declaration and the Indenture. No Extension Period may end on a date other than
a Distribution Payment Date or extend beyond the Maturity Date or the Special
Redemption Date, as the case may be. During any Extension Period, interest will
continue to accrue on the Debt Securities, and interest on such accrued interest
(such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred
Interest") will accrue, at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate, compounded
semi-annually from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were
it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by applicable law. At
the end of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer shall pay all Deferred
Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that
prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer may
further extend such Extension Period, provided, that no Extension Period
(including all previous and further consecutive extensions that are part of such
Extension Period) shall exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods. Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred
Interest, the Debt Security Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject
to the requirements set forth herein and in the Declaration and the Indenture.
No interest or Deferred Interest (except any Additional Amounts that may be due
and payable) shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the
end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall accrue upon each installment of
interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension
Period until such installment is paid.

          As a consequence of any Extension Period, Distributions will be
deferred. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on
the date that the related Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Trust
Securities as they appear on the books and

               (provided, that such Event of Default is not by or with respect
               to the Institutional Trustee), the taking of any action that the
               Institutional Trustee may from time to time determine is
               necessary, advisable or incidental for the foregoing to give
               effect to the terms of this Declaration and protect and conserve
               the Trust Property for the benefit of the Holders (without
               consideration of the effect of any such action on any particular
               Holder);

                    (J) to take all action that may be necessary or appropriate
               for the preservation and the continuation of the Trust's valid
               existence, rights, franchises and privileges as a statutory trust

               the Trust Indenture Act.

               (iii) The Institutional Trustee shall have the power and
          authority, and is hereby authorized, 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 3.6(a)(i)(J) and
          (K) herein but shall not have a duty to do any such act unless

                                       17

<PAGE>

          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 hereby. In particular, neither the Trustees nor the Administrators
may cause the Trust to (i) acquire any investments or engage in any activities
not 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,
(iii) take any action that would cause (or in the case of the Institutional
Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer would cause) the Trust
to fail to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes, (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 subject to reimbursement under Section 10.6(a),
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 determination of the jurisdictions 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 advisement of and direction to the Trustees 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 jurisdictions in
          connection with the sale of the Capital Securities; and

               (ii) 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, the Institutional Trustee 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 (i) the Trust
will not be deemed to be an Investment Company required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act (in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer), and (ii) the Trust will not fail to
be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes
(in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer) and (iii) the Trust will not take any action

                                       18

<PAGE>

inconsistent with the treatment of the Debt Securities as indebtedness of the
Debt Security Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes (in the case
of the Institutional Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer).
In this connection, the Institutional Trustee, 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 or this
Declaration, as amended from time to time, that each of the Institutional
Trustee, the Administrators and such Holders determine in their discretion to be
necessary or desirable for such purposes, even if such action adversely affects
the interests of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

          (e) All expenses incurred by the Administrators or the Trustees
pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be reimbursed by the Sponsor, and the
Trustees shall have no obligations with respect to such expenses.

          (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 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 3.7. Prohibition of Actions by the Trust and the Trustees.

          The Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee and the
Administrators shall not, and the Administrators shall cause the Trust not to,
engage in any activity other than as required or authorized by this Declaration.
In particular, the Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee and the
Administrators shall not cause the Trust to:

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

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

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

          (d) make any loans or incur any indebtedness other than loans
represented by the Debt Securities;

          (e) possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the
Trust Property or the terms of the Trust Securities;

                                       19

<PAGE>

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

          (g) other than as provided in this Declaration (including Annex I),
(i) direct the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities, (ii) waive any
past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to
rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all the Debt Securities
shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or
termination of the Indenture or the Debt Securities where such consent shall be
required, in each case unless the Trust shall have received an Opinion of
Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will continue
to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes.

          Section 3.8. Powers and Duties of the Institutional Trustee.

          (a) The legal title to the Debt Securities shall be owned by and held
of record in the name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit of
the Trust. The right, title and interest of the Institutional Trustee to the
Debt Securities shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be
appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 5.5. Such vesting
and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
with regard to the Debt Securities have been executed and delivered.

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

          (c) The Institutional Trustee shall:

               (i) establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing
          trust account (the "Property Account") in the United States (as
          defined in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7), in the name of
          and under the exclusive control of the Institutional Trustee, and
          maintained in the Institutional Trustee's trust department, on behalf
          of the Holders of the Trust Securities and, upon the receipt of
          payments of funds made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
          Institutional Trustee, deposit such funds into the Property Account
          and make payments to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders
          of the Common Securities from the Property Account in accordance with
          Section 6.1. 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 Trust Securities to the
          extent the Debt Securities are redeemed or mature; and

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

                                       20

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

               (ii) a Successor Institutional Trustee has been appointed and has
          accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 5.5.

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

          (h) The Institutional Trustee must exercise the powers set forth in
this Section 3.8 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes and functions
of the Trust set out in Section 3.3, and the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the
Trust set out in Section 3.3.

          (i) The Institutional Trustee shall be authorized to undertake any
actions set forth in Section 317(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          Section 3.9. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees and
the Administrators.

          (a) The Institutional Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of
Default (of which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in
Section 3.10(m) hereof)) and after the curing of all Events of Default that may
have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Declaration and no implied covenants shall be read into this
Declaration against the Institutional Trustee. In case an Event of Default (of
which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 3.10(m)
hereof)), has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section
7.7), the Institutional Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

          (c) All payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent
in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and
proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be
sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the
Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the
terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust 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 Trust Security or for any other liability in
respect of any Trust Security. This Section 3.9(c) does not limit the liability

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

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

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

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

               (iv) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any
          interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree
          in writing with the Sponsor; and money held by the Institutional
          Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in
          relation to the Property Account maintained by the Institutional
          Trustee pursuant to Section 3.8(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 3.10. Certain Rights of Institutional Trustee. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.9:

          (a) the Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully
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;

                                       23

<PAGE>

          (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Declaration, the
Institutional Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of
action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Declaration, the
Institutional Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other
provisions contained herein, or (iii) the Institutional Trustee is unsure of the
application of any provision of this Declaration, then, except as to any matter
as to which the Holders of Capital Securities are entitled to vote under the
terms of this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee may deliver a notice to the
Sponsor requesting the Sponsor's opinion as to the course of action to be taken
and the Institutional Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Institutional Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the

willful misconduct or bad faith;

          (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

an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly
delivered by the Sponsor or the Administrators;

          (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 3.10(g) shall be taken to relieve the
Institutional Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (of which the
Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 3.10(m) hereof))
that has not been cured or waived, of its obligation to exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by this Declaration;

          (h) the Institutional Trustee shall not be bound to make any

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

                                       24

<PAGE>

Institutional Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit;

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

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

          (l) when the Institutional Trustee incurs expenses or renders services

constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating
to creditors rights generally;

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

payment is due and payable);

          (n) any action taken by the Institutional Trustee or its agents
hereunder shall bind the Trust and the Holders of the Trust 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

                                       25

<PAGE>

law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty

the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be, have the power and
authority to execute pursuant to Section 3.6.

          Section 3.13. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Trust
Securities. The recitals contained in this Declaration and the Trust 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

Declaration, the Debt Securities or the Trust Securities.

          Section 3.14. Duration of Trust. The Trust, unless dissolved pursuant

          Section 3.15. Mergers. (a) The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate,
merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other
Person, except as described in this Section 3.15 and except with respect to the

          (b) The Trust may, with the consent of the Administrators (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and without the consent of the
Institutional Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Holders of the Capital
Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any
state; provided, that:

               (i) if the Trust is not the survivor, such successor entity (the
          "Successor Entity") either:

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

                                       26

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

               (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
          replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust has received an
          Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that:

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

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

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

                                       27

<PAGE>

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

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

          (c) Notwithstanding Section 3.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with
the consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to, any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the
Trust or Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

                                   ARTICLE IV

and the Prospectus and, if applicable, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, and
any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing;

          (b) to determine the jurisdictions in which to take appropriate action
to qualify or register for sale all or part of the Capital Securities and to do
any and all such acts, other than actions which must be taken by the Trust, and
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, advisable or incidental thereto in order to comply with the
applicable laws of any such jurisdictions;

          (c) to cause the Trust to file with the Commission a registration
statement on Form 8-A, including any amendments thereto, relating to the
registration of the Capital Securities under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, as the case may be, if required;

          (d) if deemed necessary or advisable by the Sponsor, to prepare for
filing and request the Administrators to cause the filing by the Trust, as may

                                    ARTICLE V

                           TRUSTEES AND ADMINISTRATORS

          Section 5.1. Number of Trustees. The number of Trustees initially
shall be two, and:

          (a) at any time before the issuance of any Trust Securities, the
Sponsor may, by written instrument, increase or decrease the number of Trustees;
and

          (b) after the issuance of any Trust Securities, the number of Trustees
may be increased or 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 5.2; 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 3.11 shall have
no application to such entity in its capacity as Institutional Trustee.

          Section 5.2. Delaware Trustee. If required by the Statutory Trust Act,
one Trustee (the "Delaware Trustee") shall be:

<PAGE>

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

               (iii) be a banking corporation or national association organized
          and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
          any state thereof or of the District of Columbia or other Person
          permitted by the Commission to act as indenture trustee under the
          Trust Indenture Act and authorized under such laws to exercise
          corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
          least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to
          supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia
          authority. If such corporation, national association or other Person
          publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
          to the requirements of the supervising or examining authority referred
          to above, then for the purposes of this Section 5.3(a)(iii), the
          combined capital and surplus of such corporation, national association
          or other Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
          as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

          (b) If at any time the Institutional Trustee shall cease to be
eligible to so act under Section 5.3(a), the Institutional Trustee shall
immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set forth in Section 5.5.

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

          (d) The Guarantee shall be deemed to be specifically described in this
Declaration for purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section
310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          (e) The initial Institutional Trustee shall be Wilmington Trust
Company.

          Section 5.4. Administrators. Each Administrator shall be a U.S.
Person. There shall at all times be at least one 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 acting alone.

          Section 5.5. Appointment, Removal and Resignation of the Trustees and
the 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.

                                       30

<PAGE>

          (b) Subject to Section 5.5(a), a Relevant Trustee may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of the Trust 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 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.

          (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 Relevant
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section. 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
Relevant Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section.
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 within 30 days after delivery
of an instrument of removal, the Relevant Trustee or any Holder who has been a
Holder of the Trust 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

                                       31

<PAGE>

(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 Trust 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
Trust 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 Trust 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 5.6. Vacancies Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold
office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
Section 5.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 5.1,
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 5.5.

          Section 5.7. 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 the
Trustees in accordance with Section 5.5, the Institutional Trustee shall have

                                       32

<PAGE>

all the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties
imposed upon the Trustees by this Declaration.

          Section 5.8. Meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators. Meetings
of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be held from time to time upon the
call of any Trustee or Administrator, as applicable. Regular meetings of the
Trustees and the Administrators, respectively, may be in person in the United
States or by telephone, at a place (if applicable) and time fixed by resolution
of the Trustees or the Administrators, as applicable. Notice of any in-person
meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be hand delivered or
otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by
overnight courier) not less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any
telephonic meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators or any committee
thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by
facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours before
a meeting. Notices shall contain a brief statement of the time, place and
anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person or by
telephone) of a Trustee or an Administrator, as the case may be, at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee or an
Administrator, as the case may be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has
not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this
Declaration, any action of the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may
be, may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees or the
Administrators present (whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote
with respect to such matter; provided, that, in the case of the Administrators,
a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of
the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be. Meetings of the Trustees
and the Administrators together shall be held from time to time upon the call of
any Trustee or Administrator.

          Section 5.9. Delegation of Power. (a) Any Trustee or any
Administrator, as the case may be, may, by power of attorney consistent with
applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 that is
a U.S. Person his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents,
instruments or other writings contemplated in Section 3.6 including the
Registration Statement, or any other registration statement or amendment
thereto, filed with the Commission, or including any other governmental filing.

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

          Section 5.10. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any Person into which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, may be merged or converted or with which either may
be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the
case may be, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially
all the corporate trust business of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the successor of the Institutional Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be,

                                       33

<PAGE>

hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, provided such Person shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article and, provided, further, that such
Person shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware as contemplated in Section 5.5(i).

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

          Section 6.1. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions in
accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's Trust 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 Debt Security Issuer makes a payment of interest
(including any Additional Amounts or Deferred Interest) or premium on and/or
principal of the Debt Securities held by the Institutional Trustee (the amount
of any such payment being a "Payment Amount"), the Institutional Trustee shall
and is directed, to the extent funds are available in the Property Account for
that purpose, to make a distribution (a "Distribution") of the Payment Amount to
Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, funds in the Property Account shall not be
distributed to Holders to the extent of any taxes payable by the Trust, in the
case of withholding taxes, as determined by the Institutional Trustee or any
Paying Agent and, in the case of taxes other than withholding taxes, as
determined by the Administrators in a written notice to the Institutional
Trustee.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                          ISSUANCE OF TRUST SECURITIES

          Section 7.1. General Provisions Regarding Trust Securities.

          (a) On the Closing Date, the Administrators shall on behalf of the
Trust issue one series of securities (the Capital Securities) evidenced by a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, representing undivided
preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust and having such terms
as are set forth in Annex I, and one series of common securities (the Common
Securities) evidenced by a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2,
representing undivided common beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust
and 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
with, and payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the Common Securities
except that, where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
rights of Holders of the Common Securities to payment in respect of
Distributions and payments upon Liquidation, redemption or otherwise are
subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the Capital Securities.

          (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 Trust Securities shall cease to be such Administrator before
the Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust,

                                       34

<PAGE>

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

          (c) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the
Trust 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 Trust Securities as provided in this
Declaration, the Trust Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will entitle each Holder thereof to
the benefits provided by this Declaration.

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

          Section 7.2. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Calculation Agent and
Registrar.

          (a) The Trust shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware (i) an office or
agency where the Trust Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying
Agent") and (ii) an office or agency where Trust Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or exchange (the "Transfer Agent"). The Trust shall
keep or cause to be kept at such office or agency a register (the "Securities
Register") for the purpose of registering Trust Securities and transfers and
exchanges of Trust Securities, such Securities Register to be held by a
registrar (the "Registrar"). The Administrators may appoint the Paying Agent,
the Registrar and the Transfer Agent, and may appoint one or more additional
Paying Agents, one or more co-Registrars, or one or more co-Transfer Agents in
such other locations as it shall determine. The term "Paying Agent" includes any
additional Paying Agent, the term "Registrar" includes any additional Registrar
or co-Registrar and the term "Transfer Agent" includes any additional Transfer
Agent or co-Transfer Agent. The Administrators may change any Paying Agent,
Transfer Agent or Registrar at any time without prior notice to any Holder. The
Administrators shall notify the Institutional Trustee of the name and address of
any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar not a party to this Declaration.
The Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, may resign
upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Institutional Trustee, the
Administrators and the Sponsor. The Administrators hereby initially appoint the
Institutional Trustee to act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for
the Capital Securities and the Common Securities at its Corporate Trust Office.
The Institutional Trustee or any of its Affiliates in the

                                       35

<PAGE>

United States may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. In the event
that the Institutional Trustee is no longer the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or
Registrar, as the case may be, the Administrators shall appoint a successor
(which must be a bank or trust company acceptable to the Administrators and the
Sponsor) to act as Paying Agent.

          (b) The Trust shall require each Paying Agent other than the
Institutional Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in
trust for the benefit of Holders or the Institutional Trustee all money held by
the Paying Agent for the payment of Liquidation Amounts or Distributions and
will notify the Institutional Trustee if there are insufficient funds for such
purpose. While any such insufficiency continues, the Institutional Trustee may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Institutional Trustee.
The Trust at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to
the Institutional Trustee and to account for any money disbursed by it. Upon
payment over to the Institutional Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the
Trust or an Affiliate of the Trust) shall have no further liability for the
money. If the Trust or the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Trust or the Sponsor
acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for
the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.

          Section 7.3. Form and Dating; Global Capital Security.

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

          (b) Capital Securities offered and sold, as provided in the Purchase
Agreement, shall be initially issued in the form of a single permanent Global
Capital Security in definitive, fully registered form without distribution
coupons and shall include the legends set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto. The
Global Capital Security shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the
Capital Securities represented thereby with the Institutional Trustee, at its
Corporate Trust Office as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the
name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the
Trust and authenticated by the

                                       36

<PAGE>

Institutional Trustee as hereinafter provided. The number of Capital Securities
represented by the Global Capital Security may from time to time be increased or
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Institutional Trustee and
the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

          (c) This Section 7.3(c) shall apply only to the Global Capital
Security as may be authorized by the Trust to be deposited with or on behalf of
the Depositary.

               (i) An Administrator shall execute and the Institutional Trustee
          shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate and make
          available for delivery initially a single Global Capital Security that
          (a) shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of
          the Depositary, and (b) shall be delivered by the Institutional
          Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's written
          instructions or, if no such written instructions are received by the
          Institutional Trustee, held by the Institutional Trustee as custodian
          for the Depositary.

               (ii) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of the
          Global Capital Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Capital
          Security for all purposes under this Declaration and the Global
          Capital Security, and Capital Security Beneficial Owners shall hold
          interests in the Global Capital Security pursuant to Applicable
          Depositary Procedures. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary
          ("Participants") shall have no rights under this Declaration with
          respect to the Global Capital Security held on their behalf by the
          Depositary or by the Institutional Trustee as the custodian of the
          Depositary or under such Global Capital Security, and the Depositary,
          or its nominee, may be treated by the Trust, the Institutional Trustee
          and any agent of the Trust or the Institutional Trustee as the
          absolute owner of such Global Capital Security for all purposes
          whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
          prevent the Trust, the Institutional Trustee or any agent of the Trust
          or the Institutional Trustee from giving effect to any written
          certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
          Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants,
          the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the
          exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in the
          Global Capital Security.

               (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3(c) to the
          contrary, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder of
          the Global Capital Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize
          any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests
          through Participants, to take any action which any Holder is entitled
          to take under this Declaration or the Trust Securities.

          (d) Except as provided in Section 7.4 or 9.2(d), owners of beneficial
interests in the Global Capital Security will not be entitled to receive
physical delivery of Definitive Capital Securities.

                                       37

<PAGE>

          (e) The Trust in issuing the Capital Securities may use "CUSIP"
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Institutional Trustee shall
use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of
Capital Securities; provided, that, any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Capital Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Capital Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers. The Sponsor will promptly notify the
Institutional Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

          Section 7.4. Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Certificates are
ready for delivery, the Administrators may prepare and execute on behalf of the
Trust and, in the case of Definitive Capital Securities, the Institutional
Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate, temporary
Certificates. Temporary Certificates shall be substantially in the form of
definitive Certificates but may have variations that the Administrators consider
appropriate for temporary Certificates. Without unreasonable delay, the
Administrators shall prepare and execute on behalf of the Trust and, in the case
of the Definitive Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall, upon
receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate definitive Certificates in
exchange for temporary Certificates.

          Section 7.5. 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) the related Holder shall deliver to the Registrar, the
Administrators and the Institutional Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be reasonably required by them to keep each of them harmless;

then, in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, an Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute
(and in the case of a Capital Security Certificate, the Institutional Trustee
shall authenticate) and deliver to such Holder, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
like denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Registrar or the Administrators may require such Holder to pay
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any Certificate executed and delivered pursuant
to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in
the relevant Trust Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

          Section 7.6. Cancellation. The Administrators at any time may deliver
Certificates evidencing Trust Securities to the Institutional Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar shall forward to the Institutional Trustee any
Certificates evidencing Trust Securities surrendered to it for registration of
transfer, redemption or payment. The Institutional Trustee shall promptly cancel
all Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer, payment, replacement
or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Certificates as the
Administrators direct. The Administrators may not issue new Certificates to
replace Certificates evidencing

                                       38

<PAGE>

Trust Securities that have been paid or, except for Certificates surrendered for
purposes of the transfer or exchange of the Trust Securities evidenced thereby,
that have been delivered to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation.

          Section 7.7. Rights of Holders.

          (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 3.5,
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
Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below.
The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights
specifically set forth therein and in this Declaration. The Trust Securities
shall have no, and the issuance of the Trust Securities shall not be subject to,
preemptive or other similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders
against payment of the purchase price therefor, the Trust Securities will be
fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.

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

          (c) At any time after the acceleration of maturity of the Debt
Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided in the
Indenture, if the Institutional Trustee, subject to the provisions hereof, fails
to annul any such acceleration and waive such default, the Holders of a Majority
in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the
Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and
annul such acceleration and its consequences if:

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

                    (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Debt
               Securities;

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

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

                    (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee under
               the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, documented
               expenses,

                                       39

<PAGE>

               disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the
               Institutional Trustee, their agents and counsel; and

               (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debt Securities,
          other than the non-payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on
          the Debt Securities that has become due solely by such acceleration,
          have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.01 of the
          Indenture.

          (d) The Holders of 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 as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof.

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

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

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

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

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

          (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event
referred to in Section 8.1(a), and after satisfaction of liabilities to

                                   ARTICLE IX

                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

          Section 9.1. Transfer of Trust Securities.

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

          (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 Trust Securities remain outstanding, the Sponsor shall maintain 100%
direct or indirect ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that
any permitted successor of the Company under the Indenture may succeed to the
Sponsor's ownership of the Common Securities.

          (c) In the event of the redemption of the Trust Securities issued by
the Trust, neither the Trust nor the Registrar shall be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any Trust Security as of the close of business on the
earliest date on which the notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to
all Holders of the Trust Securities.

          Section 9.2. Transfer Procedures and Restrictions.

          (a) As applicable, when Definitive Capital Securities are presented to
the Registrar or co-registrar to register the transfer of such Definitive
Capital Securities, the Registrar or co-registrar shall register the transfer or
make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Capital Securities
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trust and the Registrar or co-registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

          (b) The transfer and exchange of the Global Capital Security or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary in
accordance with this Declaration (including applicable restrictions on transfer
set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Declaration (other
than the provisions set forth in subsection (d) of this Section 9.2), the Global
Capital Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a
nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or
another nominee of the Depositary.

          (d) If at any time (i) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, (ii) the Trust, in its sole discretion, notifies the
Institutional Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of
Definitive Capital Securities under this Declaration, or (iii) the Depositary
notifies the Sponsor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for the Global Capital Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a
"clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act, and, in each case, a
clearing agency is not appointed by the Sponsor within 90 days of receipt of
such notice or of becoming aware of such condition, then an Administrator on
behalf of the Trust will execute, and the Institutional Trustee, upon receipt of
an Issuer Order requesting the authentication and delivery of Definitive Capital
Securities to the Persons designated by the Trust, will authenticate and make
available for delivery Definitive Capital Securities, equal in number to the
number of Capital Securities represented by the Global Capital Security, in
exchange for such Global Capital Security. Any portion of the Global Capital
Security transferred pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names
as the Depositary shall direct.

          (e) At such time as all beneficial interests in the Global Capital
Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Capital Securities to the
extent permitted by this Declaration or redeemed, repurchased or canceled in
accordance with the terms of this Declaration, such Global Capital Security
shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by
the Institutional Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any
beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security is exchanged for Definitive
Capital Securities, Capital Securities represented by such Global Capital
Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and
records of the Institutional Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee to
reflect such reduction.

                                       42

<PAGE>

          (f) (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, an
Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Institutional Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order to do so, authenticate Definitive Capital
Securities and the Global Capital Security at the Registrar's or co-registrar's
request in accordance with the terms of this Declaration.

               (ii) Registrations of transfers or exchanges will be effected
          without charge, but only upon payment in respect of any tax or other
          governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to it other than
          exchanges pursuant to Section 7.4 not involving any transfer.

               (iii) In the event of the redemption of the Capital Securities,
          the Registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the
          transfer of or exchange any Capital Securities as of the close of
          business on the earliest date on which the notice of redemption is
          deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Capital Securities.

               (iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer
          of any Capital Security, the Trust, the Institutional Trustee, the
          Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat the
          Person in whose name a Capital Security is registered as the absolute
          owner of such Capital Security for the purpose of receiving
          Distributions on such Capital Security and for all other purposes
          whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Institutional Trustee, the
          Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by
          notice to the contrary.

               (v) All Capital Securities issued upon any registration of
          transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Declaration shall
          evidence the same security and shall be entitled to the same benefits
          under this Declaration as the Capital Securities surrendered upon such
          registration of transfer or exchange.

          (g) (i) Neither the Administrators nor the Institutional Trustee shall
have any responsibility or obligation to any Capital Security Beneficial Owner,
a Participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of
the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant thereof, with
respect to any ownership interest in the Capital Securities or with respect to
the delivery to any Participant, Capital Security Beneficial Owner or other
Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of
redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Capital
Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all
payments to be made to Holders under the Capital Securities shall be given or
made only to or upon the order of the Holders (which shall be the Depositary or
its nominee in the case of the Global Capital Security).

          The rights of Capital Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised
only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of
the Depositary. The Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary or any
agent thereof with respect to its Participants and any Capital Security
Beneficial Owners.

                                       43

<PAGE>

               (ii) The Institutional Trustee and the Registrar shall have no
          obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
          with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Declaration or
          under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in
          any Capital Security (including any transfers between or among
          Depositary Participants or Capital Security Beneficial Owners) other
          than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation
          or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
          expressly required by, the terms of this Declaration, and to examine
          the same to determine whether or not on their face they comply as to
          form with the express requirements hereof.

          Section 9.3. Deemed Security Holders. The Trust, the Administrators,
the Trustees, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name any Trust Security shall be registered on the
Securities Register of the Trust as the sole Holder and owner of such Trust
Security for purposes of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes
whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to or interest in such Trust Security on the part of any other
Person, whether or not the Trust, the Administrators, the Trustees, the Paying
Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar shall have actual or other notice
thereof.

          Section 9.4. Book-Entry Capital Security.

          The Global Capital Security shall initially be registered on the books
and records of the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
Depositary, and no Capital Security Beneficial Owner will receive physical
delivery of Definitive Capital Securities representing such Capital Security
Beneficial Owner's interests in such Global Capital Security, except as provided
in Section 9.2 and Section 7.4. Unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
have been issued to the Capital Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
9.2 or Section 7.4:

          (a) the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall be in full force and
effect;

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

          (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4 conflict
with any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section
9.4 shall control; and

          (d) the rights of the Capital Security Beneficial Owners shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established
by law, the Applicable Depositary Procedures and agreements between such Capital
Security Beneficial Owners and the Depositary and/or the Depositary
Participants, and the Depositary shall receive and transmit payments of
Distributions on the Global Capital Security to such Depositary Participants;
provided, however, that solely for the purposes of determining whether the
Holders of the requisite amount of Capital Securities have voted on any matter
provided for in this Declaration, the Trustees, with respect to the Global
Capital Security, may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying
on, any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustees by

                                       44

<PAGE>

the Depositary setting forth the Capital Security Beneficial Owners' votes or
assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons either in whole
or in part; and the Depositary will also make book-entry transfers among the
Depositary Participants.

          (e) Notices to Depositary.

          To the extent that a notice or other communication to Holders is
required to be given by a Trustee under this Declaration, for so long as the
Capital Securities are represented by the Global Capital Security, such Trustee
shall give all such notices and communications to the Depositary and shall have
no obligations to the Capital Security Beneficial Owners.

          Section 9.5. Appointment of Successor Depositary.

          If any Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities
depositary with respect to the Capital Securities, the Administrators may, in
their sole discretion, appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such
Capital Securities.

                                    ARTICLE X

                           LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF
                 HOLDERS OF TRUST SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

          Section 10.1. Liability. (a) Except as expressly set forth in this
Declaration, the Guarantee and the terms of the Trust Securities, the Sponsor
shall not be:

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

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

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

          (c) Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the
Holders of the Trust Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit
organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, except as
otherwise specifically set forth herein.

          Section 10.2. Exculpation. (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered
Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the
Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within
the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this
Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person (other than an
Administrator) shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by
reason of such Indemnified

                                       45

<PAGE>

Person's negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to such acts
or omissions and except that an Administrator shall be liable for any such loss,
damage or claim incurred by reason of such Administrator's gross negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to such acts or omissions.

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

          Section 10.3. Fiduciary Duty. (a) To the extent that, at law or in
equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an
Indemnified Person acting under this Declaration shall not be liable to the
Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the
extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person
otherwise existing at law or in equity (other than the duties imposed on the
Institutional Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties
hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person.

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

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

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

          Section 10.4. Indemnification. (a)

               (i) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted
          by law, any Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened
          to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
          suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
          investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Trust)
          by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an Indemnified Person
          against expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments,
          fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
          by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
          such Person acted in

                                       46

<PAGE>

          good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or
          not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to
          any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
          such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
          proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea
          of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
          presumption that the Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and
          in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not
          opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any
          criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that
          such conduct was unlawful.

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

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

               (iv) Any indemnification of an Administrator under paragraphs (i)
          and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be
          made by the Sponsor only as authorized in the specific case upon a
          determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper
          in the circumstances because such Person has met the applicable
          standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such
          determination shall be made (A) by the Administrators by a majority
          vote of a Quorum consisting of such Administrators who were not
          parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (B) if such a Quorum is
          not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested
          Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
          opinion, or (C) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.

                                       47

<PAGE>

               (v) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including
          attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
          defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
          suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this
          Section 10.4(a) shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final
          disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
          undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such
          amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not
          entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor as authorized in this
          Section 10.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be
          made by the Sponsor if a determination is reasonably and promptly made
          (1) in the case of a Company Indemnified Person (A) by the
          Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested
          Administrators, (B) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
          obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Administrators so directs, by
          independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (C) by the Common
          Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to the
          Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the time such
          determination is made, such Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or
          in a manner that such Person either believed to be opposed to or did
          not believe to be in the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect
          to any criminal proceeding, that such Indemnified Person believed or
          had reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, or (2) in
          the case of a Fiduciary Indemnified Person, by independent legal
          counsel in a written opinion that, based upon the facts known to the
          counsel at the time such determination is made, such Indemnified
          Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such Indemnified Person
          either believed to be opposed to or did not believe to be in the best
          interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
          that such Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to
          believe such conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be
          made (i) to a Company Indemnified Person in instances where the
          Administrators, independent legal counsel or the Common Security
          Holder reasonably determine that such Person deliberately breached
          such Person's duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security
          Holders or (ii) to a Fiduciary Indemnified Person in instances where
          independent legal counsel promptly and reasonably determines in a
          written opinion that such Person deliberately breached such Person's
          duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security Holders.

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

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

          Section 10.5. Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the
Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee (subject to Section 5.3(c)) may
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or
description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business
of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Trust 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

                                       49

<PAGE>

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 10.6. Compensation; Fee. (a) The Sponsor agrees:

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

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

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

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                   ACCOUNTING

          Section 11.1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year (the "Fiscal Year") of the
Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

          Section 11.2. Certain Accounting Matters.

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

          (b) The Administrators shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered
to each of the Holders of Trust 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 Trust Securities held by each Holder as is
required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations.

                                       50

<PAGE>

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

          Section 11.3. Banking. The Trust shall maintain one or more bank
accounts in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
Section 301.7701-7, in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided,
however, that all payments of funds in respect of the Debt Securities 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 11.4. Withholding. The Institutional Trustee or any Paying
Agent and the Administrators shall comply with all withholding requirements
under United States federal, state and local law. The Institutional Trustee or
any Paying Agent shall request, and each Holder shall provide to the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent, such forms or certificates as are
necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to the Holder,
and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent to assist it in determining the extent
of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Administrators shall
file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from
withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld
with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent is required to withhold and pay over
any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any
Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution to the Holder
in the amount of the withholding. In the event of any claimed overwithholding,
Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If
the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions
made, the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent may reduce subsequent
Distributions by the amount of such withholding.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                             AMENDMENTS AND MEETINGS

          Section 12.1. Amendments. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this
Declaration or by any applicable terms of the Trust Securities, this Declaration

               (i) the Institutional Trustee,

                                       51

<PAGE>

          Common Securities.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII, no
amendment shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and
ineffective:

               (i) unless the Institutional Trustee shall have first received

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

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

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

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

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

               Capital Securities as "Tier 1 Capital" (or its then equivalent)
               for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal
               Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction
               over bank holding companies).

          (c) Except as provided in Section 12.1(d), (e) or (g), no amendment
shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and ineffective,
unless the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities
shall have consented to such amendment.

          (d) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
Declaration, without the consent of each affected Holder, this Declaration may
not be amended to (i) change

                                       52

<PAGE>

redemption or liquidation provisions applicable to the Trust Securities or
otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in
respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified date, (ii) restrict the right
of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any Distributions or other
amounts on or after their due date, or (iii) change Section 3.8(e).

          (e) Sections 10.1(b) and 10.1(c) and this Section shall not be amended
without the consent of all of the Holders of the Trust Securities.

          (f) The rights of the Holders of the Capital Securities and Common
Securities, as applicable, under Article IV to increase or decrease the number

Capital Securities to:

               (i) cure any ambiguity;

               (ii) correct or supplement any provision in this Declaration that
          may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this
          Declaration;

          classified for United States federal income tax purposes at all times
          as a grantor trust and will not be required to register as an
          Investment Company under the Investment Company Act (including without
          limitation to conform to any change in Rule 3a-5, Rule 3a-7 or any
          other applicable rule under the Investment Company Act or written
          change in interpretation or application thereof by any legislative
          body, court, government agency or regulatory authority)

          provided, however, that no such amendment contemplated in clause (i),
          (ii), (iii), or (iv) shall adversely affect the powers, preferences,
          rights or interests of Holders of Capital Securities.

          Section 12.2. Meetings of the Holders of the Trust Securities; Action
by Written Consent.

          (a) Meetings of the Holders of the Trust Securities may be called at
any time by the Administrators (or as provided in the terms of such Trust
Securities) to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such Trust
Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of
such Trust Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Capital
Securities are listed or admitted for trading, if any. The Administrators shall
call a meeting of the Holders of such Trust Securities if directed to do so by
the Holders of not less than 10% in Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities.
Such direction shall be given by

                                       53

<PAGE>

delivering to the Administrators one or more notices in a writing stating that
the signing Holders of such Trust Securities wish to call a meeting and
indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be
called. Any Holders of Trust Securities calling a meeting shall specify in
writing the Certificates held by the Holders of the Trust Securities exercising
the right to call a meeting and only those Trust 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 Trust
Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of the
Trust Securities:

               (i) Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders
          of the Trust 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 Trust Securities is
          permitted or required under this Declaration or the rules of any stock
          exchange on which the Capital Securities are listed or admitted for
          trading, if any, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a
          meeting of the Holders of the Trust Securities. Any action that may be
          taken at a meeting of the Holders of the Trust 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 Trust Securities owning not less
          than the minimum Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities that would be
          necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all
          Holders of the Trust 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 Trust Securities entitled
          to vote who have not consented in writing. The Administrators may
          specify that any written ballot submitted to the Holders of the Trust
          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 Trust Security may authorize any Person to
          act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Trust
          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 Trust 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 Trust Securities were stockholders
          of a Delaware corporation. Each meeting of the Holders of the Trust
          Securities shall be conducted by the Administrators or by such other
          Person that the Administrators may designate.

               (iii) Unless the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms
          of the Trust Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules
          of any stock exchange on which the Capital Securities are then listed
          or admitted for trading, if any,

                                       54

<PAGE>

          otherwise provides, the Administrators, in their sole discretion,
          shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings of Holders
          of Trust 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 Trust Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent
          without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum
          requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with
          respect to the exercise of any such right to vote; provided, however,
          that each meeting shall be conducted in the United States (as that
          term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7).

                                     ANNEX I

                                 TERMS OF [___]%
                    CAPITAL SECURITIES AND COMMON SECURITIES

          Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust, dated as of [ ] (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the
designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and
provisions of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities (collectively,
the "Trust Securities") are set out below (each capitalized term used but not
defined herein has the meaning set forth in the Declaration):

          1. Designation and Number.

          (a) Capital Securities. [    ] Capital Securities of Fulton Capital
Trust IV (the "Trust"), with an aggregate Liquidation Amount with respect to the
assets of the Trust at any one time outstanding of [   ] Dollars ($[   ]) and a
Liquidation Amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per Capital
Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only as
"[___]% Capital Securities" (the "Capital Securities"). The Certificates
evidencing the Capital Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions
therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform
to the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on or in which the
Capital Securities are listed, traded or quoted, if any.

          (b) Common Securities. [   ] Common Securities of the Trust (the
"Common Securities") will be evidenced by Definitive Common Securities
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes
and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary
usage, custom or practice. In the absence of an Event of Default, the Common
Securities will have an aggregate Liquidation Amount with respect to the assets
of the Trust of [   ] Dollars ($[   ]) and a Liquidation Amount with respect to
the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per Common Security.

          2. Distributions.

          (a) Distributions payable on each Trust Security will be payable at a
rate of interest equal to [___]% per annum (such rate is referred to herein as
the "Coupon Rate"). Distributions in arrears for more than one Distribution
Period will bear interest thereon, compounded semi-annually, at the Coupon Rate
for each Distribution Period thereafter (to the extent permitted by applicable
law). The term "Distributions", as used herein, includes cash Distributions, any
such compounded Distributions, and any Additional Amounts payable on the Debt
Securities unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent
that payments are made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds
legally available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any Distribution Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

                                      A-I-1

<PAGE>

          The term "Distribution Period", as used herein, means (i) in the case
of the first Distribution Period, the period from, and including, the date of
original issuance of the Trust Securities to, but excluding, the initial
Distribution Payment Date and (ii) thereafter, from, and including, the first
day following the end of the preceding Distribution Period to, but excluding,
the applicable Distribution Payment Date or, in the case of the last
Distribution Period, the related date of redemption.

          (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities will be cumulative, will
accrue from the date of original issuance, and will be payable, subject to
extension of Distribution Periods as described herein, semi-annually in arrears
on [_________] and [_________] of each year, commencing on [_________] (each, a
"Distribution Payment Date"), and on any earlier date of redemption, as
applicable. The Debt Security Issuer has the right under certain circumstances
specified in the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debt Securities
by extending the interest payment period for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual
periods (each such extended interest payment period, together with all previous
and future consecutive extensions thereof, is referred to herein as an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debt Securities,
subject to the conditions described below and in the Indenture. No Extension
Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date or extend beyond
the Maturity Date or the Special Redemption Date, as the case may be (each such
term as defined herein). During any Extension Period, interest will continue to
accrue on the Debt Securities, and interest on such accrued interest (such
accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest")
will accrue, at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate compounded semi-annually
from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were it not for the
Extension Period, to the extent permitted by applicable law. At the end of any
Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer shall pay all Deferred Interest then
accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that during any
Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer may not (i) declare or pay any
dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Debt Security Issuer's capital
stock, (ii) make any payment of principal or premium or interest on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Debt Security Issuer that rank
in all respects pari passu with or junior in interest to the Debt Securities or
(iii) make any payment under any guarantees of the Debt Security Issuer that
rank in all respects pari passu with or junior in interest to the Guarantee
(other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of
capital stock of the Debt Security Issuer (A) in connection with any employment
contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of
one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (B) in connection
with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in
connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Debt Security 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 Debt Security Issuer's capital stock (or any capital stock of a
subsidiary of the Debt Security Issuer) for any class or series of the Debt
Security Issuer's capital stock or of any class or series of the Debt Security
Issuer's indebtedness for any class or series of the Debt Security Issuer's
capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Debt
Security Issuer's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged,
(d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholder's rights
plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholder's
rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (e)
any dividend in the form of

                                      A-I-2

<PAGE>

stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock
issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same
stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or
junior in interest to such stock). Prior to the termination of any Extension
Period, the Debt Security Issuer may further extend such Extension Period,
provided, that no Extension Period (including all previous and further
consecutive extensions that are part of such Extension Period) shall exceed 10
consecutive semi-annual periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period
and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the Debt Security Issuer may
commence a new Extension Period, subject to the requirements herein and in the
Indenture. No interest or Deferred Interest (except any Additional Amounts that
may be due and payable) shall be due and payable during an Extension Period,
except at the end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall accrue upon each
installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during
such Extension Period until such installment is paid.

          As a consequence of any Extension Period, Distributions will be
deferred. Notwithstanding any such deferral, Distributions will continue to
accrue on the Trust Securities, and Distributions on such accrued Distributions
will accrue, at the Coupon Rate applicable during such Extension Period,
compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If
Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that
such Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Trust Securities as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust on the regular record date
immediately preceding the Distribution Payment Date on which such Extension
Period terminates to the extent that the Trust has funds legally available for
the payment of such Distributions in the Property Account of the Trust.

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

          (c) Distributions on the Trust Securities, other than Distributions
payable on any redemption date that is not a Distribution Payment Date, will be
payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the
Registrar on the relevant regular record dates. The relevant "regular record
dates" shall be 15 days before the relevant Distribution Payment Dates.
Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on
any Distribution Payment Date, as a result of the Debt Security Issuer having
failed to make a payment under the Debt Securities, 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 Trust Securities are registered on the original
relevant regular record date, and such defaulted Distributions will instead be
payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the
regular record date preceding the Distribution Payment Date on which the related
Extension Period terminates or, in the absence of an Extension Period, a special
record date therefor selected by the Administrators.

          (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 Trust
Securities.

                                      A-I-3

<PAGE>

          (e) If any Distribution Payment Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, then Distributions payable on such Distribution Payment Date will
be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional Distributions
will accrue in respect of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

          3. Upon Dissolution. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust (each, a
"Liquidation"), the Holders of the Trust Securities will be entitled to receive
out of the assets of the Trust legally available for distribution to Holders of
the Trust Securities, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the
Trust (to the extent not satisfied by the Debt Security Issuer), an amount in
cash equal to the aggregate of the Liquidation Amount of $1,000 per Trust
Security plus unpaid Distributions accrued thereon to the date of payment
(collectively, the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless: (i) the Debt Securities
have been redeemed in full in accordance with the terms thereof and of the
Indenture; or (ii) the Debt Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities and bearing accrued
and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions
on such Trust Securities, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all
claims and obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the
Statutory Trust Act, shall be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of
the Trust Securities in exchange for such Trust Securities.

          The Sponsor, as the Holder of all of the Common Securities, has the
right at any time, upon receipt by the Debt Security Issuer and the
Institutional Trustee for the benefit of the Trust of (i) an opinion of
nationally recognized tax counsel that Holders will not recognize any gain or
loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the
distribution of Debt Securities, to dissolve the Trust (including, without
limitation, upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a
Capital Treatment Event, each as defined herein) and (ii) prior approval from
the Federal Reserve or any such successor regulatory agency (if then required
under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve or any
such successor regulatory agency) and, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust, cause the Debt Securities to be distributed to the
Holders of the Trust Securities on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the
aggregate Liquidation Amount thereof.

          The Trust shall dissolve on the first to occur of (i) [_________], the
expiration of the term of the Trust, (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the
Sponsor, the Trust or the Debt Security Issuer, (iii) (other than in connection
with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction not prohibited by the
Indenture, the Declaration or the Guarantee, as the case may be) the filing of a
certificate of dissolution or its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor or upon
the revocation of the charter of the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after
the date of revocation without a reinstatement thereof, (iv) the distribution of
all of the Debt Securities to the Holders of the Trust Securities, upon exercise
of the right of the Holders of all of the outstanding Common Securities to
dissolve the Trust as described above, (v) the entry of a decree of a judicial
dissolution of any Holder of the Common Securities, the Sponsor, the Trust or
the Debt Security Issuer, (vi) when all of the Trust Securities are then subject
to redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have been
paid to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Trust Securities or
(vii) before the issuance of any Trust Securities, with the consent of all of
the Trustees and the Sponsor. As soon as practicable after the dissolution of
the Trust and upon

                                      A-I-4

<PAGE>

completion of the winding up of the Trust, the Trust shall terminate upon the
filing of a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware.

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

          If, upon any Liquidation of the Trust, the Liquidation Distribution
can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to
pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable
directly by the Trust on the Trust 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, then the Capital Securities shall have a preference
over the Common Securities with regard to such amounts.

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

          After the date for any distribution of the Debt Securities upon any
Liquidation of the Trust, (i) the Trust Securities of the Trust will be deemed
to be no longer outstanding, (ii) any certificates representing the Capital
Securities will be deemed to represent undivided beneficial interests in such of
the Debt Securities as have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of such Capital Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid
interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Capital Securities
until such certificates are presented to the Debt Security Issuer or its agent
for transfer or reissuance (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no
payments shall be made to Holders of Trust Securities in respect of any payments
due and payable under the Debt Securities) and (iii) all rights of Holders of
Trust Securities shall cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Debt
Securities upon surrender of certificates representing such Trust Securities.

          4. Redemption and Distribution.

          (a) The Debt Securities will mature on [_________] (the "Maturity
Date") at an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
unpaid interest accrued thereon to such date (the "Maturity Redemption Price").
Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event
or a Capital Treatment Event, the Debt Securities may be redeemed by the Debt
Security Issuer, at its option, in whole but not in part, at any time within 90
days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or
Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be (the "Special Redemption Date"), at
the Special Redemption Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior
written notice to holders of the Debt Securities so long as such Tax Event,
Investment Company Event or Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be, is
continuing. The right of the Debt Security Issuer to redeem the Debt Securities
prior to maturity is subject to the Debt Security Issuer and the Trust having
received prior approval from the Federal Reserve, if then required under
applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve.

          "Tax Event" means the receipt by the Debt Security Issuer and the
Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that,
as a result of any amendment to or change (including any announced prospective
change) in the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of
any official administrative pronouncement (including any private letter ruling,
technical advice memorandum, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement (an
"Administrative Action")) or judicial decision interpreting or applying such
laws or regulations, regardless of whether such Administrative Action or
judicial decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving the
Debt Security 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 Debt Securities, 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 Debt Securities; (ii) if the Debt Security Issuer is
then organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof or the District of Columbia interest payable by the Debt Security Issuer
on the Debt Securities is not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion,
will not be, deductible by the Debt Security Issuer, in whole or in part, for
United States federal income tax purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be
within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to or otherwise required to
pay, or required to withhold from Distributions to Holders of Trust Securities,
more than a de minimis amount of other taxes (including withholding taxes),
duties, assessments or other governmental charges.

          "Capital Treatment Event" means, if the Debt Security Issuer is then
organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof
or the District of Columbia, the receipt by the Debt Security Issuer and the
Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that,
as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or regulations of
the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein or any
guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory agency or authority, or as
the result of any official or administrative pronouncement or action or judicial
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 Debt Securities,
there is

                                      A-I-6

<PAGE>

more than an insubstantial risk that the Debt Security Issuer will not, within
90 days of the date of such opinion, be entitled to treat an amount equal to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities as "Tier 1 Capital" (or
the then equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of
the Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction
over bank holding companies), or any capital adequacy guidelines as then in
effect and applicable to the Debt Security Issuer; provided, however, that the
inability of the Debt Security Issuer to treat all or any portion of the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities as "Tier 1 Capital" shall
not constitute the basis for a Capital Treatment Event if such inability results
from the Debt Security Issuer having preferred stock, minority interests in
consolidated subsidiaries and any other class of security or interest which the
Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over
bank holding companies) may now or hereafter accord "Tier 1 Capital" treatment
that, in the aggregate, exceed the amount which may now or hereafter qualify for
treatment as "Tier 1 Capital" under applicable capital adequacy guidelines of
the Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction
over bank holding companies); provided, further, however, that the distribution
of the Debt Securities in connection with the Liquidation of the Trust by the
Debt Security Issuer shall not in and of itself constitute a Capital Treatment
Event unless such Liquidation shall have occurred in connection with a Tax Event
or an Investment Company Event.

          "Investment Company Event" means the receipt by the Debt Security
Issuer and the Trust of an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the
effect that as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or
regulations of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
therein, or as the result of any official or administrative pronouncement or
action or judicial 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
Debt Securities, 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.

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

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

<TABLE>

          (b) Upon any repayment of the Debt Securities at maturity or upon
redemption (other than following the distribution of the Debt Securities to the
Holders of the Trust Securities), the proceeds from such repayment shall
concurrently be applied to redeem Pro Rata, at a redemption price corresponding
to the applicable Maturity Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price for the
Debt Securities, as the case may be, Trust Securities having an aggregate
Liquidation Amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities so repaid; provided, however, that Holders of such Trust Securities
shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice of
such redemption (other than a redemption resulting from the maturity of the Debt
Securities on the Maturity Date).

          (c) If fewer than all the outstanding Trust 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 as described in
Paragraph 4(f) below.

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

          (e) Written notice of any redemption of, or written notice of
distribution of the Debt Securities in exchange for, the Trust Securities (a
"Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the Trust by mail to each
Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor
more than 60 days before the date of redemption or exchange thereof which, in
the case of a redemption, will be the date of redemption of the Debt Securities.
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), 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
Trust Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the
Holders of such Trust Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing on
the books and records of the Registrar. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution
Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the
validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other
Holder.

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

          (g) If the Trust Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may only be issued if the Debt
Securities are redeemed or repaid as set out in this Paragraph (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 Debt Securities, the Institutional Trustee will, with respect to the
Book-Entry Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Depositary for such
Book-

                                      A-I-8

<PAGE>

Entry Capital Securities, the price payable upon redemption of the Trust
Securities, and will give such Depositary irrevocable instructions and authority
to pay the price payable upon redemption of such Book-Entry Capital Securities
to Capital Security Beneficial Owners. With respect to Capital Securities that
are non Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee will pay the
price payable upon redemption of such Capital Securities to the Holders of such
Trust Securities by check mailed to the address of each such Holder appearing on
the books and records of the Trust on the related date of redemption. 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 Trust Securities so subject
to redemption and all rights of Holders of such Trust Securities so subject to
redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Trust Securities
to receive the applicable price specified in Paragraph 4(a), but without
interest on such price. If any date of redemption of the Trust Securities falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of all amounts payable on such
date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional
Distributions will accrue in respect of such payment on such next succeeding
Business Day. If any amount payable upon redemption of the Trust Securities is
improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust, the Debt
Security Issuer or the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee,
Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accrue at the Coupon
Rate applicable from the date of redemption to the actual date of payment, in
which case the actual payment date will be considered the date of redemption for
purposes of calculating the price payable upon redemption of the Trust
Securities. In the event of the redemption of the Capital Securities issued by
the Trust, the Trust shall not be required to register the transfer of or
exchange any Capital Securities as of the close of business on the earliest date
on which the notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of
the Capital Securities

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

          (i) 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 not less than 10% in Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities.

          (b) Subject to the requirements of obtaining a tax opinion by the
Institutional Trustee in certain circumstances set forth in the last sentence of
this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities, voting separately as a class, have the right to direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time,
method, place of

                                      A-I-9

<PAGE>

conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to
the Debt Securities, (ii) waiving any past default and its consequences that are
waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercising any right to rescind or annul an
acceleration of the principal of all the Debt Securities or (iv) consenting on
behalf of all the Holders of the Capital Securities to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debt Securities where such
consent shall be required; provided, however, that, where a consent or action
under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the holders of greater
than a simple majority in principal amount of Debt Securities (a "Super
Majority") affected thereby, the Institutional Trustee may only give such
consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of not less
than the proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities outstanding
which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount
of the Debt Securities outstanding. If the Institutional Trustee fails to
enforce its rights under the Debt Securities after the Holders of a Majority or
Super Majority, as the case may be, in Liquidation Amount of such Capital
Securities have so directed the Institutional Trustee, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, a Holder of the Capital Securities may institute a legal
proceeding directly against the Debt Security Issuer to enforce the
Institutional Trustee's rights under the Debt Securities 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
Debt Security Issuer to pay interest, or premium, if any, on or principal of the
Debt Securities on the date such interest, premium, if any, or principal is
payable (or in the case of redemption, the date of redemption), then a Holder of
the Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of
payment, on or after the respective due dates specified in the Debt Securities,
to such Holder directly of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
the Debt Securities 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 Debt Securities
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 Debt Securities. Such notice shall state that such Indenture Event of
Default also constitutes an Event of Default hereunder. The Institutional
Trustee shall not take any of the actions described in clause (i), (ii), (iii)
or (iv) 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.

          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 Trust 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 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

                                     A-I-10

<PAGE>

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 Debt Securities in accordance with the
Declaration and the terms of the Trust 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 Holder of the Common Securities is entitled, in accordance
with Article V of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any
Administrators.

          (c) Subject to Paragraph 2.6 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 Holder 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 Indenture Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities, (ii) waiving any past default and its consequences that are waivable
under the Indenture, or (iii) exercising any right to rescind or annul an
acceleration of the principal of all the Debt Securities. 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 Indenture Trustee as set forth above, the Institutional Trustee shall not
take any action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that
for the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action. If the
Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the 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.

                                     A-I-11

<PAGE>

          Any approval or direction of the Holder 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 Trust Securities in the
Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Administrators will cause a notice of
any meeting at which the Holder of the Common Securities is entitled to vote, or
of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holder is to be
taken, to be mailed to the 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 Holder is 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 Holder of the Common Securities will be
required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities or to distribute
the Debt Securities in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the
Trust Securities.

          7. Amendments to Declaration and Indenture. In addition to any
requirements under Section 12.1 of the Declaration, if any proposed amendment to
the Declaration provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i)
any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights
of the Trust Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or
otherwise, or (ii) the Liquidation of the Trust, other than as described in
Section 8.1 of the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Trust
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 a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
the Trust 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 Holders of the affected
Trust Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such
amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the
Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities.

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

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be
made to the Declaration if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the
Trust to fail to be classified for purposes of United States federal income
taxation as a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the
powers of the Institutional Trustee or (iii) cause the Trust to be

                                     A-I-12

<PAGE>

deemed an Investment Company which is required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act.

          (c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Declaration, the right of any
Holder of the Capital Securities to receive payment of Distributions and
payments upon redemption, Liquidation 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 Trust Securities to any
payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to
each Holder of the Trust Securities according to the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Trust Securities outstanding unless, in
relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in
which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each
Holder of the Capital Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of the Capital Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Capital Securities outstanding, and only
after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Capital Securities,
to each Holder of the Common Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative
to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Common Securities outstanding.

          9. Ranking. The Capital Securities rank pari passu with, and payment
thereon shall be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that, where an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the
Common Securities to receive payment of Distributions and payments upon
Liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights of the
Holders of the Capital Securities with the result that no payment of any
Distribution on, or any amount payable upon the redemption of, any Common
Security, and no payment to the Holder of any Common Security on account of the
Liquidation of the Trust, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of (i)
all accrued and unpaid Distributions on all outstanding Capital Securities for
all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior thereto, (ii) all amounts
payable upon Capital Securities then subject to redemption and (iii) all amounts
payable upon Capital Securities in the event of the Liquidation of the Trust, in
each case, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately
available to the Institutional Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in
full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) above that
are then due and payable.

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

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

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

                      [FORM OF REVERSE OF CAPITAL SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each Capital Security will be payable at a
rate of interest per annum, which, with respect to any Distribution Period (as
defined herein), will be equal to [___]% (the "Coupon Rate"). Distributions in
arrears for more than one Distribution Period will bear interest thereon,
compounded semi-annually, at the applicable Coupon Rate for each Distribution
Period thereafter (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions," as used herein, includes cash Distributions, any such
compounded Distributions and any Additional Amounts payable on the Debt
Securities unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent
that payments are made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds
legally available in the Property Account therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any Distribution Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

          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 semi-annually in arrears on [_________] and [_________] of
each year, commencing on [_________], and on any date of redemption (each, a
"Distribution Payment Date"), subject to the Business Day convention specified
in the Declaration. The Debt Security Issuer has the right under certain
circumstances specified in the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the
Debt Securities by extending the interest payment period for up to 10
consecutive semi-annual periods (each such extended interest payment period,
together with all previous and future consecutive extensions thereof, is
referred to herein as an "Extension Period") at any time and from time to time
on the Debt Securities, subject to the conditions described below and in the
Declaration and the Indenture. No Extension Period may end on a date other than
a Distribution Payment Date or extend beyond the Maturity Date or the Special
Redemption Date, as the case may be. During any Extension Period, interest will
continue to accrue on the Debt Securities, and interest on such accrued interest
(such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred
Interest") will accrue, at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate, compounded
semi-annually from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were
it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by applicable law. At
the end of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer shall pay all Deferred
Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that
prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer may
further extend such Extension Period, provided, that no Extension Period
(including all previous and further consecutive extensions that are part of such
Extension Period) shall exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods. Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred
Interest, the Debt Security Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject
to the requirements set forth herein and in the Declaration and the Indenture.
No interest or Deferred Interest (except any Additional Amounts that may be due
and payable) shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the
end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall accrue upon each installment of
interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension
Period until such installment is paid.

          As a consequence of any Extension Period, Distributions will be
deferred. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on
the date that the related Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Capital
Securities as they appear on the books and

records of the Trust on the regular record date immediately preceding the
Distribution Payment Date on which such Extension Period terminates to the
extent that the Trust has funds legally available for the payment of such
Distributions in the Property Account of the Trust.

          The Capital Securities shall be redeemable, and shall be entitled to
the Liquidation Distribution, as provided in the Declaration.

          Distributions payable on each Common Security will be identical in
amount to the Distributions payable on each Capital Security, which is at a rate
of interest per annum, which, with respect to any Distribution Period (as
defined herein) (such rate, is referred to herein as the "Coupon Rate").
Distributions in arrears for more than one Distribution Period will bear
interest thereon, compounded semi-annually, at the applicable Coupon Rate for
each Distribution Period thereafter (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
The term "Distributions," as used herein, includes cash Distributions, any such

Securities, unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the
extent that payments are made in respect of the Debt Securities held by the
Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds

          Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Common

Declaration and the Indenture. No Extension Period may end on a date other than
a Distribution Payment Date or extend beyond the Maturity Date or the Special

(such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred
Interest") will accrue, at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate, compounded
semi-annually from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were
it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by applicable law. At
the end of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer shall pay all Deferred
Interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that
prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debt Security Issuer may
further extend such Extension Period, provided, that no Extension Period
