          (c) If and to the extent that any provision of this Declaration

          (a) Each of the Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of
the Trust shall provide the Institutional Trustee (i) within 15 days after each
record date for payment of Distributions, a list, in such form as the
Institutional Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Holders of the Securities ("List of Holders") as of such record date, provided
that neither the Sponsor nor the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust
shall be obligated to provide such List of Holders at any time the List of
Holders does not differ from the most recent List of Holders given to the
Institutional Trustee by the Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf
of the Trust, and (ii) at any other time, within 30 days of receipt by the Trust
of a written request for a List of Holders as of a date no more than 15 days
before such List of Holders is given to the Institutional Trustee. The
Institutional Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, all information contained in Lists of Holders given to it or which

provided that the Institutional Trustee may destroy any List of Holders
previously given to it on receipt of a new List of Holders.

          (b) The Institutional Trustee shall comply with its obligations under

     Section 2.04. Periodic Reports to Institutional Trustee. Each of the
Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to

certificate required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act in the form and
in the manner required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. The
information and reports shall be provided within fifteen days after being filed
with the Commission. The Certificate shall be provided within 120 days after the
end of the fiscal year of the Sponsor. Delivery of such reports, information and
documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's
receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
the Sponsor's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

     Section 2.05. Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent. Each of the

     Section 2.06. Events of Default; Waiver.


                                       6


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

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

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

     The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(a) shall be in lieu of
Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of
the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration and
the Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. Upon such waiver, any
such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the
Preferred Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities or impair any right consequent thereon. Any waiver by the Holders of
the Preferred Securities of an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities shall also be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Holders of the
Common Securities of any such Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities for all purposes of this Declaration without any further act, vote,
or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities.

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

               (i) is not waivable under the Indenture, except where the Holders
     of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of Default
     under the Declaration as provided in this Section 2.06(b), the Event of
     Default under the Declaration shall also not be waivable; or

               (ii) is waivable only with the consent or vote of a Super
     Majority to be waived, except where the Holders of the Common Securities
     are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under the Declaration as
     provided in this Section 2.06(b), the Event of Default under the
     Declaration may be waived only by the vote of the Holders of at least the
     proportion in liquidation preference of the Common Securities that the
     relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the
     Debentures outstanding;

provided further, each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived
any such Event of Default and all Events of Default with respect to the Common
Securities and its consequences until all Events of Default with respect to the
Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and until
such Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so
cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Institutional Trustee will be deemed
to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and
only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the
Institutional Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Securities. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(b) shall be in lieu of Sections
316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Sections
316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act are hereby expressly
excluded from this Declaration and the Securities, as permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(b), upon
the waiver of an Event of Default by the Holders of a Majority in liquidation
preference of the Common Securities, any such default shall cease to exist and
any Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Declaration, but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default
with respect to the Common Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.

          (c) A waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture by the
Institutional Trustee at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, constitutes a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under


                                       7


this Declaration. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(c) shall be in
lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section
316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this
Declaration and the Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 2.07. Event of Default; Notice.

          (a) The Institutional Trustee shall, within 90 days after the
occurrence of an Event of Default of which it is deemed to have knowledge,
transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Securities,
notices of (i) all defaults with respect to the Securities known to a
Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee, unless such defaults have been
cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purposes of
this Section 2.07(a) being hereby defined to be an Event of Default as defined
in the Indenture, not including any periods of grace provided for therein and
irrespective of the giving of any notice provided therein) and (ii) any notice
of default received from the Institutional Trustee with respect to the
Debentures, which notice from the Institutional Trustee to the Holders shall
state that an Event of Default under the Indenture also constitutes an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities; provided that, except for a default in
the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest or Additional
Amounts on any of the Debentures or in the payment of any sinking fund
installment established for the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of
the Institutional Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

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

               (i) a default under Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) of the Indenture;
     or

               (ii) any default as to which a Responsible Officer of the
     Institutional Trustee shall have received written notice and such notice
     references the Securities and the Indenture.

either:

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

Default 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

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) 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, except that:

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

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

                    (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
          Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee may conclusively
          rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
          opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
          furnished to the Institutional Trustee and conforming to the
          requirements of this Declaration; but in the case of any such
          certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically
          required to be furnished to the Institutional Trustee, the
          Institutional Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
          determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
          Declaration (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
          mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein, unless
          specifically required by this Declaration);

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

               (iii) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable with respect
     to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
     accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in
     liquidation preference of the Securities 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;

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


                                       13


               (v) the Institutional Trustee's sole duty with respect to the
     custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the
     Institutional Trustee 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;

               (vi) the Institutional Trustee shall have no duty or liability
     for or with respect to the value, genuineness, existence or sufficiency of
     the Debentures or the payment of any taxes or assessments levied thereon or
     in connection therewith;

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

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

     attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it
     in complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable
     advances as may be requested by the Institutional Trustee provided, that,

     provisions of this Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively
     evidenced by the Institutional Trustee's or its agent's taking such action;

               (x) 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 Securities which instructions may only be given by the

jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Institutional Trustee
shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to

statements of the Sponsor, and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility for

representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Declaration or the
Securities.

     Section 3.14. Duration of Trust. The Trust, unless terminated pursuant to
the provisions of Article VIII hereof, shall exist until 30 years from the date

     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 entity or person,
except as described in Section 3.15(b) and 3.15(c).

          (b) The Trust may, with the written consent of the Administrative
Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Administrative
Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, the Delaware
Trustee or the Institutional Trustee, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or
into, or be replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any State or
the District of Columbia; provided that:

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

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

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



                                       16


               (ii) the Debenture Issuer expressly acknowledges a trustee of the
     Successor Entity that possesses the same powers and duties as the
     Institutional Trustee in its capacity as the Holder of the Debentures;

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

               (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does
     not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to
     be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

               (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does
     not adversely affect the powers, preferences and other special rights of
     the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor
     Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any
     dilution of such Holders' interests in the new entity as a result of such
     merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement);

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

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

                    (A) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or
          replacement, the Trust or the Successor Entity, as the case may be,
          will be treated as a grantor trust for United States Federal income
          tax purposes;

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

                    (C) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement
          will not materially adversely affect the rights, preferences and
          privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including any Successor
          Securities) (other than with respect to any dilution of such Holders'
          interests in the new entity as a result of such merger, consolidation,
          amalgamation or replacement); and

                    (D) addressing the fulfillment of (b)(i) above, if
          applicable, and (vi) above; and

               (viii) the Sponsor provides a guarantee to the Holders of the
     Successor Securities with respect to the Successor Entity having
     substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities Guarantee.

          (c) Notwithstanding Section 3.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with
the consent of Holders of 100% in liquidation preference of the Common
Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by any
other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or replace it if, in the opinion of tax counsel to the Trust, such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would cause the Trust or
Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United
States Federal income tax purposes.

     meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.

          (b) The Trustee that acts as Institutional Trustee shall not be
removed in accordance with Section 5.06(a) until a successor Institutional
Trustee possessing the qualifications to act as Institutional Trustee under
Section 5.03 (the "Successor Institutional Trustee") has been appointed and has
accepted such appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor
Institutional Trustee and delivered to the Administrative Trustees and the
Sponsor; and

          (c) The Trustee that acts as Delaware Trustee shall not be removed in
accordance with this Section 5.06(a) until a successor Trustee possessing the
qualifications to act as Delaware Trustee under Sections 5.02 and 5.04 (a
"Successor Delaware Trustee") has been appointed and has accepted such
appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor Delaware Trustee
and delivered to the Administrative Trustees and the Sponsor.

          (d) A Trustee appointed to office shall hold office until his
successor shall have been appointed or until his death, removal or resignation.
Any Trustee may resign from office (without need for prior or subsequent
accounting) by an instrument in writing signed by the Trustee and delivered to
the Sponsor and the Trust, which resignation shall take effect upon such
delivery or upon such later date as is specified therein; provided, however,
that:

               (i) No such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the
     Institutional Trustee shall be effective:

                    (A) until a Successor Institutional Trustee has been
          appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by
          such Successor Institutional Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the
          Sponsor and the resigning Institutional Trustee; or

                    (B) until the assets of the Trust have been completely
          liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of the
          Securities; and



                                       20


               (ii) no such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Delaware
     Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Delaware Trustee has been
     appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such
     Successor Delaware Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the Sponsor and the
     resigning Delaware Trustee.

          (e) The Sponsor shall use their best efforts to promptly appoint a
Successor Institutional Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may
be, if the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee delivers an instrument
of resignation in accordance with this Section 5.06.

          (f) If no Successor Institutional Trustee or Successor Delaware
Trustee shall have been appointed and accepted appointment as provided in this
Section 5.06 within 60 days after delivery to the Sponsor and the Trust of an
instrument of resignation, the resigning Institutional Trustee or Delaware
Trustee, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the
expense of the Sponsor for appointment of a Successor Institutional Trustee or
Successor Delaware Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a Successor
Institutional Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.

     Section 5.07. Vacancies among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold office
for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section
5.01, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 5.01, a
vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by a
majority of the Administrative Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of the
existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed
in accordance with Section 5.06.

     Section 5.08. 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 annul the Trust. Whenever a
vacancy in the number of Administrative Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy
is filled by the appointment of a Administrative Trustee in accordance with
Section 5.06, the Administrative Trustees in office, regardless of their number,
shall have all the powers granted to the Administrative Trustees and shall
discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this
Declaration.

     Section 5.09. Meetings. If there is more than one Administrative Trustee,
meetings of the Administrative Trustees shall be held from time to time upon the
call of any Administrative Trustee. Regular meetings of the Administrative
Trustees may be held at a time and place fixed by resolution of the
Administrative Trustees. Notice of any in-person meetings of the Administrative
Trustees 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 Administrative Trustees
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 Administrative Trustee at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Administrative
Trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the
transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully
called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of
the Administrative Trustees may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of
the Administrative Trustees present (whether in person or by telephone) and
eligible to vote with respect to such matter, provided that a Quorum is present,
or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of the Administrative
Trustees. In the event there is only one Administrative Trustee, any and all
action of such Administrative Trustee shall be evidenced by a written consent of
such Administrative Trustee.

     Section 5.10. Delegation of Power.

          (a)Any Administrative Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent
with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his
or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section
3.06, including any registration statement or amendment thereto filed with the
Commission, or making any other governmental filing; and



                                       21


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

     Section 5.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any corporation or national banking association 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 corporation or national banking
association 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 corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or
substantially all the corporate trust business of the Institutional Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the successor of the
Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder,
provided such corporation or national banking association shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

     Section 6.01. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions (as
defined herein) in accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's
Securities. Distributions shall be made on the Preferred Securities and the
Common Securities in accordance with the preferences set forth in their
respective terms. If and to the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment
of interest (including any compounded interest) and Additional Interest (as
defined in the Indenture)) premium, Additional Amounts and principal on the
Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee (the amount of any such payment
being a "Payment Amount"), the Institutional Trustee shall and is directed, to
the extent funds are available for that purpose, to make a distribution (a
"Distribution") of the Payment Amount to Holders.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

     Section 7.01. General Provisions Regarding Securities.

          (a) The Administrative Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one
class of preferred securities, representing undivided beneficial interests in
the assets of the Trust (the "Preferred Securities"), having such terms (the
"Terms") as are set forth in Annex I and one class of common securities,
representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (the
"Common Securities"), 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 Preferred Securities and the Common Securities.

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

          (c) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration,
the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, subject to Section 10.01 with respect to the Common Securities.

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

     Section 7.02. Execution and Authentication.


                                       22


          (a) The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by one
Administrative Trustee. In case any Administrative Trustee of the Trust who
shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such Administrative
Trustee before the Securities so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such
Securities nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such
Securities had not ceased to be such Administrative Trustee ; and any Securities
may be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the actual date of
execution of such Security, shall be the Administrative Trustees of the Trust,
although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such
person was not such a Administrative Trustee.

          (b) One Administrative Trustee shall sign the Preferred Securities for
the Trust by manual or facsimile signature. Unless otherwise determined by the
Trust, such signature shall, in the case of Common Securities, be a manual
signature.

          (c) A Preferred Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of an authorized officer of the Institutional Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Security has been
authenticated under this Declaration.

          (d) Upon a written order of the Trust signed by one Administrative
Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate the Preferred Securities
for original issue. The aggregate number of Preferred Securities outstanding at
any time shall not exceed the number set forth in the Terms in Annex A.

          (e) The Institutional Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
acceptable to the Trust to authenticate Preferred Securities. An authenticating
agent may authenticate Preferred Securities whenever the Institutional Trustee
may do so. Each reference in this Declaration to authentication by the
Institutional Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating
agent has the same rights as the Institutional Trustee to deal with the Sponsor
or an Affiliate.

     Section 7.03. [Reserved].

     Section 7.04. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. In the event
that the Preferred Securities are not in book-entry only form, the Trust shall
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York,
(i) an office or agency where Preferred Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or exchange ("Registrar"), (ii) an office or agency
where Preferred Securities may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Preferred Securities and of their
transfer and exchange. The Trust may appoint the Registrar, the Paying Agent and
the Conversion Agent and may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more
additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents in such
other locations as it shall determine. The term "Paying Agent" includes any
additional paying agent. The Trust may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or
co-registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Trust shall notify the
Institutional Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Declaration. If the Trust fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Institutional Trustee shall act as such. The
Trust or any of its Affiliates may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Trust
shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar for the Common Securities.

     The Trust initially appoints the Institutional Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent for the Preferred Securities.

     Section 7.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 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
principal or distribution on the Securities, and will notify the Institutional
Trustee if there are insufficient funds to make any required payment. 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.



                                       23


     Section 7.06. [Reserved].

     Section 7.07. [Reserved].

     Section 7.08. Outstanding Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities
outstanding at any time are all the Preferred Securities authenticated by the
Institutional Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, and those described in this Section as not outstanding.

     If a Preferred Security is replaced, paid or purchased pursuant to the
terms of this Declaration, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Institutional
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced, paid or purchased
Preferred Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

     If Preferred Securities are considered paid in accordance with the terms of
this Declaration, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to
accrue.

     A Preferred Security does not cease to be outstanding because one of the
Trust, the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor holds the Security.

     Section 7.09. Preferred Securities in Treasury. In determining whether the
Holders of the required amount of Securities have concurred in any direction,
waiver or consent, Preferred Securities owned by the Trust, the Sponsor or an
Affiliate of the Sponsor, as the case may be, shall be disregarded and deemed
not to be outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the
Institutional Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the
Institutional Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

     Section 7.10. [Reserved].

     Section 7.11. Cancellation/Exchange.

          (a) The Trust at any time may deliver Preferred Securities to the
Institutional Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and
Conversion Agent shall forward to the Institutional Trustee any Preferred
Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, redemption,
conversion, exchange or payment. The Institutional Trustee shall promptly cancel
all Preferred Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, redemption,
conversion, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of
cancelled Preferred Securities in accordance with its customary procedures for
the disposition of cancelled securities in effect at the time of such
cancellation. The Trust may not issue new Preferred Securities to replace
Preferred Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the
Institutional Trustee for cancellation or that any holder has converted.

          (b) If at any time the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates (in either
case, a "Sponsor Affiliated Holder") is the Holder of any Preferred Securities,
such Sponsor Affiliated Holder shall have the right to deliver to the
Institutional Trustee all or such portion of its Preferred Securities as it
elects and receive, in exchange therefor, Debentures in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of, with an interest
rate identical to the distribution rate of, and accrued and unpaid interest
equal to accumulated and unpaid Distributions on, such Preferred Securities.
Such election (i) shall be exercisable effective on any Distribution payment
date by such Sponsor Affiliated Holder delivering to the Institutional Trustee a
written notice of such election specifying the aggregate liquidation amount of
the Preferred Securities with respect to which such election is being made and
the Distribution payment date on which such exchange shall occur, which
Distribution payment date shall be not less than ten Business Days after the
date of receipt by the Institutional Trustee of such election notice and (ii)
shall be conditioned upon such Sponsor Affiliated Holder having delivered or
caused to be delivered to the Institutional Trustee or its designee the
Preferred Securities which are the subject of such election by 10:00 a.m. New
York City time, on the Distribution payment date on which such exchange is to
occur. After the exchange, such Preferred Securities will be canceled and will
no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the Sponsor or its
Affiliate(s) with respect to such Preferred Securities will cease.

          (c) In the case of an exchange described in (b) above, the Trust will,
on the date of such


                                       24


exchange, exchange Debentures having a principal amount equal to a proportional
amount of the aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding Common Securities
based on the ratio of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred
Securities exchanged pursuant to (b) above divided by the aggregate liquidation
amount of the Preferred Securities outstanding immediately prior to such
exchange, for such proportional amount of Common Securities held by the Sponsor
(which contemporaneously shall be canceled and no longer be deemed to be
outstanding); provided, that the Sponsor delivers or causes to be delivered to
the Institutional Trustee or its designee the required amount of Common
Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Distribution payment date on which such exchange is to occur

     Section 7.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Trust in issuing the Securities may use
"CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so used by the Trust, the
Institutional Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices as a convenience to
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and the subject of such notice
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The
Administrative Trustees or the Sponsor will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              TERMINATION OF TRUST

     Section 8.01. Termination of Trust.

          (a) The Trust shall dissolve upon the earliest to occur of the
following:

               (i) the bankruptcy of any Holder of the Common Securities or the
     Sponsor;

               (ii) the filing of a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent
     with respect to any Holder of the Common Securities or the Sponsor; or the
     revocation of the charter of the Holder of the Common Securities or the
     Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after the date of revocation without
     a reinstatement thereof;

               (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of any Holder

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

               (v) before the issuance of any Securities, with the consent of
     all the Administrative Trustees and the Sponsor;

               (vi) the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event or Investment
     Company Event pursuant to which the Trust shall have been dissolved in
     accordance with the terms of the Securities and all of the Debentures
     endorsed thereon shall have been distributed to the Holders of Securities
     in exchange for all of the Securities; or

               (vii) the expiration of the term of the Trust on [30 years] from
     the date of its formation.

          (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event

Trust and the Liquidating Distribution in accordance with the terms of the
Securities, the Trustees shall file a certificate of cancellation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and thereupon the Trust shall
terminate.

          (c) The provisions of Section 3.09 and Article X shall survive the
termination of the Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                              TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

     Section 9.01. General.

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

          (b) Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in
the terms of the Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Security
not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void.

          Subject to this Article IX, the Sponsor and any Related Party may only
transfer Common Securities to the Sponsor or a Related Party of the Sponsor;
provided that, any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent that the
transferor obtain the written opinion of nationally recognized independent
counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer would not cause more than
an insubstantial risk that:

               (i) the Trust would not be classified for United States federal
     income tax purposes as a grantor trust; and

               (ii) the Trust would be an Investment Company or the transferee
     would become an Investment Company.

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

          (d) The Trust shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange, Preferred Securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Preferred
Securities for redemption set forth in the terms and ending at the close of
business on the day of selection, or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange
of any Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Preferred Security being redeemed in part.

     Section 9.02. Transfer of Certificates. The Administrative Trustees shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates,
which will be effected without charge but only upon payment (with such indemnity
as the Administrative Trustees may require) in respect of any tax or other
government charges that may be imposed in relation to it. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Administrative Trustees shall
cause one or more new Certificates to be issued in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees. Every Certificate surrendered for registration of
transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Administrative Trustees duly executed by the Holder or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer shall be cancelled by the Administrative Trustees. A
transferee of a Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a
Certificate. By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee


                                       26


shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

     Section 9.03. Deemed Security Holders. The Trustees may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and records of the
Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the Securities represented
by such Certificate 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 Certificate or in the Securities
represented by such Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or not the
Trust, the Institutional Trustee, the Registrar or an co-registrar shall have
actual or other notice thereof.

     Section 9.04. Book Entry Interests. Unless otherwise specified in the terms
of the Preferred Securities, the Preferred Securities Certificates, on original
issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more, fully registered, global
Preferred Security Certificates (each a "Global Certificate"), to be delivered
to the Depositary, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust.
Such Global Certificates 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
Preferred Security Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Preferred Security
Certificate representing such Preferred Security Beneficial Owner's interests in
such Global Certificates, except as provided in Section 9.07 . Unless and until
definitive, fully registered Preferred Security Certificates (the "Definitive
Preferred Security Certificates") have been issued to the Preferred Security
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.07:

          (a) the provisions of this Section 9.04 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 relevant Global Certificates and receiving approvals, votes
or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Preferred Securities and the sole
holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Preferred
Security Beneficial Owners;

          (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.04 conflict
with any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section
9.04 shall control; and

exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and the
Depositary and/or the Participants and receive and transmit payments of
Distributions on the Global Certificates to such Participants. The Depositary
will make book entry transfers among the Participants.

     Section 9.05. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Preferred Security Holders is required under this
Declaration, unless and until Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall
have been issued to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
9.07, the Administrative Trustees shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to the Preferred Security Holders to the
Depositary, and shall have no notice obligations to the Preferred Security
Beneficial Owners.

     Section 9.06. Appointment of Successor Clearing Agency. If any Clearing
Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect
to the Preferred Securities, the Administrative Trustees may, in their sole
discretion, appoint a successor Clearing Agency with respect to such Preferred
Securities.

     Section 9.07. Definitive Preferred Security Certificates.

     If:

          (a) a Clearing Agency notifies the Sponsor and the Trust that it
elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the
Preferred Securities or if at any time such Clearing Agency ceases to be a
"clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act and a successor Clearing
Agency is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to
Section 9.06; or

          (b) the Administrative Trustees elect after consultation with the
Sponsor and the Trust to terminate the book entry system through the Clearing
Agency with respect to the Preferred Securities; or



                                       27


          (c) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then:

               (i) Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall be prepared
     by the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust with respect to such
     Preferred Securities; and

               (ii) Upon surrender of the Global Certificates by the Clearing
     Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative
     Trustees shall cause Definitive Preferred Security Certificates to be
     delivered to Preferred Security Beneficial Owners in accordance with the
     instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust
     shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each of
     them may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in relying on, said
     instructions of the Clearing Agency. The Definitive Preferred Security
     Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced
     in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
     Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have such
     letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such
     legends or endorsements as the Administrative Trustees may deem
     appropriate, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule
     or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any
     stock exchange on which Preferred Securities may be listed, or to conform
     to usage.

     Section 9.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

     If:

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

          (b) there shall be delivered to the Administrative Trustees such
security or indemnity satisfactory to them to keep each of them harmless;

          (c) then, in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have

the Trust shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 9.08, the Administrative Trustees may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
9.08 shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the
relevant Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

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

     any deficit upon dissolution of the Trust or otherwise.



                                       28


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

          (c) Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the

personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit
organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     Section 10.02. 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 shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim
incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

          (b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good
faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports
or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the Indemnified
Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert
competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the
Trust, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value

pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to
Holders of Securities might properly be paid.

          (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
such Indemnified Person.

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

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

               (i) in its "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority,
     the Indemnified Person


                                       29


     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

     by applicable law.

     Section 10.04. Indemnification.

          (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Sponsor
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any
and all loss, liability, damage or claim or expense, including taxes (other than
taxes measured by the income of any Indemnified Person, or otherwise applicable
to the Indemnified Person for operations outside the scope of this Declaration)
incurred by such Indemnified Person 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 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 or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or
omissions.

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person
in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall be advanced by
the Sponsor prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit
or proceeding upon receipt by the Sponsor of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the
Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section
10.03(a). The indemnification shall survive the termination of this Declaration.

     Section 10.05. Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the
Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee may engage in or possess an
interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently
or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the
Trust and the Holders of Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this
Declaration in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived
therefrom and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the
business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Covered
Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee, or the Institutional Trustee shall be
obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust
even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust,
could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware
Trustee and the Institutional Trustee shall have the right to take for its own
account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others
any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Covered Person, the
Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee may engage or be interested in
any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the
Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or act on any
committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Sponsor
or its Affiliates.

                                   ACCOUNTING

     Section 11.01. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Trust ("Fiscal Year")
shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

     Section 11.02. Certain Accounting Matters.

          (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrative
Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept, full books of account, records and
supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail, each transaction
of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of
accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied. The Trust shall use the accrual


                                       30


method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. The books of
account and the records of the Trust shall be examined by and reported upon as
of the end of each Fiscal Year by a firm of independent certified public
accountants selected by the Administrative Trustees.

          (b) The Administrative Trustees shall cause to be prepared and
delivered to each of the Holders of Securities to the extent, if any, required
by the Trust Indenture Act, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of
the Trust, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet
of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements of
income or loss.

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

          (d) The Administrative Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and
filed with the appropriate taxing authority, an annual United States federal
income tax return, on a Form 1041, Form 3520-A 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 Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust with
any state or local taxing authority.

     Section 11.03. Banking. The Trust shall maintain one or more bank accounts
in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however, that all
payments of funds in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee
shall be made directly to the Institutional Trustee Account and no other funds
of the Trust shall be deposited in the Institutional Trustee Account. The sole
signatories for such accounts shall be designated by the Administrative
Trustees; provided, however, that the Institutional Trustee shall designate the
signatories for the Institutional Trustee Account.

     Section 11.04. Withholding. The Trust and the Administrative Trustees shall
comply with all withholding requirements under United States federal, state and
local law. The Trust shall request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust,
such forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from
withholding with respect to each Holder, and any representations and forms as
shall reasonably be requested by the Trust to assist it in determining the
extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Administrative
Trustee shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an
exemption from withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit
amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the
extent that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any
authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount
withheld shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding
to the Holder. In the event of any claimed over withholding, Holders shall be
limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required
to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made to any Holder,
the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions to such Holder by the amount of
such withholding.

Consent.

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

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

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

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

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



                                       33


               (iv) unless the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms
     of the Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules of any
     stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or
     trading, provide otherwise, the Administrative Trustees, in their sole
     discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings of
     Holders of Securities, including notice of the time, place or purpose of
     any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any Holders of
     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.

                                    TERMS OF
                            [ ]% PREFERRED SECURITIES
                             [ ]% COMMON SECURITIES

     Pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust,
dated as of (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the designation,
rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of
the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities are set out below (each
capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning set forth in the
Declaration or, if not defined in such Declaration, as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement referred to below):

     1.   Designation and Number.

     (a) Preferred Securities. [     ] Preferred Securities of the Trust with an
aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the assets of the Trust of
[     ] Dollars ($[ ])[plus up to an additional [ ] Preferred Securities of the
Trust with an aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the assets of the
Trust of [ ] Dollars ($[ ]) solely to cover over-allotments, as provided for in
the purchase agreement (the "Additional Preferred Securities"),] and a
liquidation preference with respect to the assets of the Trust of $[      ] per
Preferred Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification
only as "[ ]% Preferred Securities (liquidation preference $[ ] per Preferred
Security)" (the "Preferred Securities"). The Certificates evidencing the
Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the form attached as 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 other organization on which the Preferred
Securities are listed.

     (b) Common Securities. [     ] Common Securities of the Trust with an
aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the assets of the Trust of [ ]
Dollars ($[ ])[, plus up to an additional [ ] Common Securities of the Trust
with an aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the assets of the Trust
of [ ] Dollars ($[ ]) to meet the capital requirements of the Trust in the event
of an issuance of Additional Preferred Securities,] and a liquidation amount
with respect to the assets of the Trust of $[ ] per Common Security, are hereby
designated for the purposes of identification only as "[ ]% Common Securities
(liquidation amount $[ ] per Common Security)" (the "Common Securities"). The
Certificates evidencing the Common Securities shall be substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions
thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or
practice.

     2.   Distributions.

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

     (b) Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from
the date of original issuance and will be payable [semi-annually] [quarterly] in
arrears, on the following dates, which dates correspond to the interest payment
dates on the Debentures: [ ], of each year, commencing on [ ], except as
otherwise described below. When, as and if available for payment, Distributions
will be made by the Institutional Trustee. The Debenture Issuer has the right
under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending
the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not
exceeding [      ] consecutive [semi-annual periods] [quarters] (each an
"Extension Period"), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and


                                       I-1


payable on the Debentures, provided, that no Extension Period may extend beyond
the date of maturity of the Debentures. As a consequence of such deferral,
Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral, [semi-annually]
[quarterly] Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded
[semi-annually] [quarterly] during any such Extension Period. Prior to the
termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further
extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with
all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed [      ]
consecutive [semi-annual periods] [quarters] and provided further, that no
Extension Period may extend beyond the maturity of the Debentures. Payments of
accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on the books and
records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the Extension
Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all
amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period,
subject to the above requirements. The Administrative Trustees will give notice
to each Holder of any Extension Period upon their receipt of notice thereof from
the Debenture Issuer.

     (c) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof
as they appear on the books and records of the Trust at the close of business on
the relevant record dates. The relevant record dates shall be 15 days prior to
the relevant payment dates, which payment dates shall correspond to the interest
payment dates on the Debentures. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations
and the provisions of the Declaration, each such payment in respect of Preferred
Securities being held in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company
(the "Depositary") will be made as described under the heading ["Description of
the Preferred Securities--Book-Entry Only Issuance--The Depository Trust
Company"] in the Prospectus Supplement. The relevant record dates for the Common
Securities shall be the same record dates as for the Preferred Securities.
Distributions payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any
Distribution payment date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed to
make a payment under the Debentures, will cease to be payable to the Person in
whose name such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such
defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such
Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date
determined in accordance with the Indenture. If any date on which Distributions
are payable on the Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar
year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in
each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

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

     3.   Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution.

     In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or
termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Securities on the date of the
dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of
Securities after satisfaction of liabilities of creditors of the Trust an amount
equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation preference of $[ ] per Security
plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such
amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with such
dissolution, winding-up or termination, Debentures in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation preference of such Securities,
with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate, and bearing accrued and unpaid
interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such
Securities outstanding at such time, have been distributed on a Pro Rata basis
to the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities.

     If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid
only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full
the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the
Trust on the Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with
paragraph 9 hereof.

     4.   Redemption and Distribution.

     (a) Upon the repayment of the Debentures in whole or in part, whether at
maturity or upon redemption or otherwise, the proceeds from such repayment or
redemption shall be simultaneously applied to redeem Securities having an
aggregate liquidation preference equal to the aggregate principal amount of the


                                       I-2


Debentures so repaid or redeemed at a redemption price of $[ ] per Security
together with accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon through the date of the
redemption, payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). Holders will be given not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice of such redemption. Upon the
repayment of the Debentures at maturity or upon any acceleration, earlier
redemption or otherwise, the proceeds from such repayment will be applied to
redeem the Securities, in whole, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice.

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

     (c) If, at any time, a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing the Sponsor
shall cause the Administrative Trustees to liquidate the Trust and, after
satisfaction of creditors of the Trust, cause Debentures to be distributed to
the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of the Trust within 90 days
following the occurrence of such Tax Event (the "90 Day Period"); provided,
however, that such liquidation and distribution shall be conditioned on (i) the
Administrative Trustees' receipt of an opinion of tax counsel (reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Trustees) experienced in such matters (a "No
Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on published revenue rulings of
the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the Holders of the Securities
will not recognize any income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such liquidation and distribution of Debentures, and
(ii) the Sponsor being unable to avoid such Tax Event within such 90 Day Period
by taking some ministerial action or pursuing some other reasonable measure
that, in the sole judgment of the Sponsor, will have no adverse effect on the
Trust, the Sponsor or the Holders of the Securities and will involve no material
cost ("Ministerial Action").

     If the Administrative Trustees shall have been informed by tax counsel
experienced in such matters that it cannot deliver a No Recognition Opinion, the
Debenture Issuer shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days' notice, and within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, to
redeem the Debentures in whole (but not in part) for cash, at the Tax Event
Prepayment Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and, following such
redemption, all the Securities will be redeemed by the Trust at the Tax Event
Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid distributions; provided, however, that,
if at the time there is available to the Debenture Issuer or the Trust the
opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 Day Period, the Tax Event by taking
some Ministerial Action, the Trust or the Debenture Issuer will pursue such
Ministerial Action in lieu of redemption.

     "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any prepayment date, the
rate per annum equal to the [semi-annual] equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such prepayment date.

     "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the Debentures to be prepaid that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term
of the Debentures.

     "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any prepayment date, (i)
the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third
Business Day preceding such prepayment date, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S.
Government Securities" or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not
published or does not contain such prices on such Business Day, (A) the average
of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such prepayment date, after
excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or
(B) if the Debenture Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

     "Quotation Agent" means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the
Debenture Issuer.

     "Reference Treasury Dealer" means a nationally recognized U.S. Government
securities dealer in New York City selected by the Debenture Issuer.


                                      I-3


     "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any prepayment date, the average, as determined by
the Debenture Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Debenture Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such repayment date.

     "Tax Event Prepayment Price" means a prepayment price equal to the greater
of (1) 100% of the principal amount thereof or (2) the sum, as determined by a
Quotation Agent, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal and interest (after giving effect to payment of accrued interest to
the date of prepayment on the Debentures after the prepayment date), discounted
to the prepayment date on a [semi-annual] basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate
plus basis points if prepaid on or prior to , and basis points if prepaid
thereafter, plus, in any case, accrued and unpaid interest to the prepayment
date.

     "Tax Event Redemption Price" means the redemption price equal to the Tax
Event Prepayment Price upon an optional prepayment by the Debenture Issuer of
the Debentures upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event.

     If an Investment Company Event (as hereinafter defined) shall occur and be
continuing, the Sponsor shall cause the Administrative Trustees to liquidate the
Trust and cause the Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the
Securities in liquidation of the Trust within 90 days following the occurrence
of such Investment Company Event.

     On and after the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures: (i) the
Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, (ii) the Depositary or
its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), as record Holder
of Preferred Securities represented by global certificates, will receive a
registered global certificate or certificates representing the Debentures to be
delivered upon such distribution and (iii) any certificates representing
Securities, except for certificates representing Preferred Securities held by
the Depositary or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee),
will be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures having an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation preference
of such Securities, with accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid
Distributions on such Securities until such certificates are presented to the
Debenture Issuer or its agent for transfer or reissuance.

     (d) The Securities will not be redeemed unless all accrued and unpaid
Distributions have been paid on all Securities for all [semi-annual] [quarterly]
Distribution periods terminating on or before the date of redemption.

     (e) If the Debentures are distributed to the Holders of the Securities,
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Debenture Issuer will use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Debentures to be listed on the Nasdaq
National Market or on such other exchange as the Preferred Securities were
listed or quoted immediately prior to the distribution of the Debentures.

     (f) Redemption or Distribution Procedures

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


                                      I-4


          (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Securities are
     to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed Pro Rata
     from each Holder of Preferred Securities, it being understood that, in
     respect of Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held of
     record by the Depositary (or any successor Clearing Agency) or any nominee,
     the distribution of the proceeds of such redemption will be made to each
     Clearing Agency Participant (or Person on whose behalf such nominee holds
     such securities) in accordance with the procedures applied by such agency
     or nominee.

          (iii) If Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
     Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may only be issued if the
     Debentures are redeemed as set out in this paragraph 4 (which notice will
     be irrevocable), then (A) with respect to Preferred Securities held in
     book-entry form, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date,
     provided that the Debenture Issuer has paid the Institutional Trustee a
     sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or
     maturity of the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee will deposit
     irrevocably with the Depositary (or successor clearing agency) funds
     sufficient to pay the amount payable on redemption with respect to such
     Preferred Securities and will give the Depositary irrevocable instructions
     and authority to pay the amount payable on redemption to the Holders of
     such Preferred Securities, and (B) with respect to Preferred Securities
     issued in certificated form and Common Securities, provided that the
     Debenture Issuer has paid the Institutional Trustee a sufficient amount of
     cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the
     Debentures, the Institutional Trustee will irrevocably deposit with the
     Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the amount payable on redemption to
     the Holders of such Securities upon surrender of their certificates. If a
     Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given and funds deposited as
     required, then on the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders of such
     Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the
     Holders of such Securities to receive the redemption price, but without
     interest on such redemption price. Neither the Administrative Trustees nor
     the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the
     transfer of any Securities that have been so called for redemption. If any
     date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then payment
     of the amount payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day
     that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of
     any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next
     calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding
     Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on
     such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the redemption price in
     respect of any Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid
     either by the Trust or by the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the relevant
     Securities Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities will continue to
     accrue at the then applicable rate, from the original redemption date to
     the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be
     considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the
     amount payable upon redemption (other than for purposes of calculating any
     premium).

          (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the
     Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust to (A) in the case of
     Preferred Securities held in book-entry form, the Depositary and, in the
     case of Securities held in certificated form, the Holders of such

     5.   [RESERVED].

     6.   Voting Rights--Preferred Securities.

     (a) Except as provided under paragraph 8, in the Statutory Trust Act and as
otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred
Securities will have no voting rights. Subject to the requirements set forth in
this paragraph, the Holders of a majority in liquidation preference of the
Preferred 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 direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred
upon the Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to
direct the Institutional Trustee, as holder of the Debentures, to (i) exercise
the remedies available under the Indenture with respect to the Debentures, (ii)
waive any past Event of Default and its


                                      I-5


consequences that is waivable under Section 6.1 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise
any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the
Debentures shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures where such
consent shall be required; provided, however, that, where a consent or action
under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the Holders of greater
than a majority of the Holders in principal amount of Debentures affected
thereby (a "Super Majority"), the Institutional Trustee may only give such
consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of at least
the proportion in liquidation preference of the Preferred Securities that the
relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures outstanding. The Institutional Trustee shall not revoke any action
previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of
conducting any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee or the Debenture
Trustee as set forth above, the Institutional Trustee shall not take any action
in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the Preferred Securities
under this paragraph unless the Institutional Trustee has received an opinion of
tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of such action, the Trust will not
fail to be classified as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax
purposes. If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights, as holder of
the Debentures, under the Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities may, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from
such Holder's written request to the Institutional Trustee to enforce such
rights, institute a legal proceeding directly against the Debenture Issuer, to
enforce the rights of the Institutional Trustee, as holder of the Debentures,
under the Indenture, without first instituting any legal proceeding against the
Institutional Trustee or any other Person.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Debenture Issuer shall fail
to make any payment on the Debentures when due, holders of the Preferred
Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to
institute a direct action against the Debenture Issuer for payment of such
amounts. Any required approval or direction of Holders of Preferred Securities
may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened
for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the Trust
or pursuant to written consent. The Administrative Trustees will cause a notice
of any meeting at which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or
of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be
taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of Preferred Securities. Each such
notice will include a statement setting forth the following information: (i) the
date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a
description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which
such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent
is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.

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

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

     7.   Voting Rights--Common Securities.

     (a) Except as provided under paragraphs 7(b), (c) and 8 herein, in the
Statutory Trust Act and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the
Holders of the Common Securities will have no voting rights.

     (b) The Sponsor is entitled, in accordance with Article V of the
Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any Trustee.

     (c) Subject to Section 2.06 of the Declaration and only after the Event of
Default with respect to the Preferred Securities has been cured, waived, or
otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements of the fourth to last
sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation preference
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


                                      I-6


to the Debenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default
and its consequences that is waivable under Section 6.1 of the Indenture, or
(iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of
all the Debentures shall be due and payable, provided that, where a consent or
action under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the Holders of
greater than a majority in principal amount of Debentures affected thereby (a
"Super Majority"), the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent or take
such action at the written direction of the Holders of at least the proportion
in liquidation preference of the Common Securities which the relevant Super
Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
outstanding. Pursuant to this paragraph 7(c), the Institutional Trustee shall
not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders
of the Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the
Institutional Trustee shall not take any action in accordance with the
directions of the Holders of the Common Securities under this paragraph unless
the Institutional Trustee has received an opinion of tax counsel to the effect
that, as a result of such action the Trust will not fail to be classified as a
grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. If the
Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights, as holder of the Debentures,
under the Indenture, any Holder of Common Securities may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such Holder's
written request to the Institutional Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a
legal proceeding directly against the Debenture Issuer, to enforce the
Institutional Trustee's rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the
Indenture, without first instituting any legal proceeding against the
Institutional Trustee or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event the Debenture Issuer shall fail to make any payment on the Debentures when
due, Holders of the Common Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, have the right to institute a direct action against the Debenture Issuer
for payment of such amounts. Any required approval or direction of Holders of
Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Common
Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of
Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Administrative
Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of Common
Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written
consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of
Common Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting forth the
following information: (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such
action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for
adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such
matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the
delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the Holders of the Common
Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities
or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms
of the Securities.

     8.   Amendments to Declaration and Indenture.

     (a) In addition to any requirements under Section 12.01 of the Declaration,
if any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Administrative
Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect
the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of
amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up
or termination of the Trust, other than as described in Section 8.01 of the
Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities as a class, will be
entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal (but not on any other amendment
or proposal) and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with
the approval of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in liquidation preference of the
Securities, voting together as a single class; provided, however, if any
amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect
only the Preferred Securities or only the Common Securities, then only the
affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such
amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of 66-2/3%
in liquidation preference of such class of Securities.

     (b) In the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee as the holder of
the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination on the Indenture or the Debentures, the
Institutional Trustee shall request the written direction of the Holders of the
Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or termination and shall
vote with respect to such amendment, modification or termination as directed, in
writing, by a Majority in liquidation preference of the Securities voting
together as a single class; provided, however, that where a consent under the
Indenture would require the consent of the holders of greater than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (a "Super Majority"), the
Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the written direction of the
Holders of at least the same proportion in aggregate stated liquidation
preference of the Securities; provided, further, that the Institutional Trustee
shall not take any action in


                                      I-7


accordance with the directions of the Holders of the Securities under this
paragraph 8(b) unless the Institutional Trustee has received 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.

     9.   Pro Rata.

     A reference in these terms of the Securities to any payment, distribution
or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder of
Securities according to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Securities
held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation preference
of all Securities outstanding unless, on any distribution date or redemption
date an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing,
in which case no payment of any distribution on, or amount payable upon
redemption of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the
redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made
unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid distributions on
all outstanding Preferred Securities for all distribution periods terminating on
or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the amount payable upon
redemption of the Preferred Securities, the full amount of such amount in
respect of all outstanding Preferred Securities shall have been made or provided
for, and all funds available to the Institutional Trustee shall first be applied
to the payment in full in cash of all distributions on, or the amount payable
upon redemption of Preferred Securities then due and payable.

     10.  Ranking.

     The Preferred Securities rank pari passu and payment thereon shall be made
Pro Rata with the Common Securities except that, where an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing under the Indenture in respect of the Debentures held
by the Institutional Trustee, the rights of Holders of the Common Securities to
payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption
and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities.

     11.  Listing.

     The Administrative Trustees shall use their best reasonable efforts to
cause the Preferred Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market.

     12.  Acceptance of Securities Guarantee and Indenture.

     Each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities, by the
acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of the Preferred Securities
Guarantee including the subordination provisions therein and to the provisions
of the Indenture.

     13.  No Preemptive Rights.

     The Holders of the Securities shall have no preemptive rights to subscribe
for any additional securities.

     14.  Miscellaneous.

     These terms constitute a part of the Declaration.

     The Sponsor will provide a copy of the Declaration or the Preferred
Securities Guarantee and the Indenture to a Holder without charge on written
request to the Sponsor at its principal place of business.
