ARTICLE IV
Distributions; Redemption
Section 4.1. Distributions.
(a) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the
Trust Property, and Distributions (including Additional Amounts) will be made on
the Trust Securities at the rate and on the dates that payments of interest
(including Additional Interest, as defined in the Indenture) are made on the
Debentures. Accordingly:
(i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and
will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for
the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accrue from February 4,
1997, and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor
exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures
pursuant to the Indenture, shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on
February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 1997. If any
date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities
is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall 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) (each date on which
distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a
"Distribution Date").
(ii) Assuming payments of interest on the Debentures are made when due
(and before giving effect to Additional Amounts, if applicable),
Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable at a rate of 8.309%
per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Registration Default which
shall be promptly notified to the Trustees by the Depositor in an Officers'
Certificate, Registration Default Distributions shall be payable on the
Trust Securities in the amount and on the terms provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement, assuming that payments of Registration
Default Interest on the Debentures are made when due. The amount of
Distributions payable for any period less than a full period shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Distributions payable for each full Distribution period will be computed by
dividing the rate per annum by two. The amount of Distributions payable for
any period shall include the Additional Amounts, if any.
(iii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the
Property Trustee from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each
Distribution Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand
and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions.
19
(b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution
Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant
record date, which shall be the January 15 or July 15 next preceding the
relevant Distribution Date.
(c) Whenever in this Trust Agreement there is mentioned, in any context,
the payment of Distributions on or Liquidation Distributions on, or in respect
of, any Capital Security that is issued in connection with, and subject to the
benefits of, any registration rights agreement, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payment of registration default distributions or any
other liquidated damages specified in such registration rights agreement to the
extent that, in such context, such registration default distributions or other
liquidated damages is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to
the provisions of such registration rights agreement and express mention of the
payment of registration default distributions or other liquidated damages (if
applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding
registration default distributions or other liquidated damages in those
provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.
Section 4.2. Redemption.
(a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of the
Debentures, the Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust
Securities at the Redemption Price.
(b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-
class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at
such Holder's address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of
redemption shall state:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Redemption Price or if the Redemption Price cannot be
calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the
estimate of the Redemption Price provided pursuant to the Indenture
together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual
Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day prior to the
Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be
sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that notice of such actual
Redemption Price is received pursuant to the Indenture);
(iii) the CUSIP number;
(iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be
redeemed, the identification and the total Liquidation Amount of the
particular Trust Securities to be redeemed;
20
(v) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that
Distributions thereon will cease to accumulate on and after said date,
except as provided in Section 4.2(d) below; and
(vi) the place or places where the Trust Securities are to be
surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price.
The Trust in issuing the Trust Securities may use "CUSIP" or "private
placement" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee
shall indicate the "CUSIP" or "private placement" numbers of the Trust
Securities in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to
Securityholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation
--------
is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Trust
Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related materials.
(c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed
at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of
Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption
Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust
has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of
such Redemption Price.
(d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any
Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption
Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to
Book-Entry Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for
such Book-Entry Capital Securities funds sufficient to pay the applicable
Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and
authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof. With respect to
Capital Securities that are not Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Property
Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying
Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the
Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price
to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Capital Securities Certificates
(with, if the Property Trustee, the Paying Agent or any Administrative Trustee
so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Property Trustee, the Paying Agent or any Administrative
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to
the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be
payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related
Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds
deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of
Securityholders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease,
except the right of such Securityholders to receive the Redemption Price
including any unpaid Distribution payable on or prior to the Redemption Date,
but without interest, and such Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the
event that any
21
date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then
payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment
in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day falls in the
next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such
date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust
Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid
either by the Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions
on such Trust Securities will continue to accrue, at the then applicable rate,
from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust
Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the
actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.
(e) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust
Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a
pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and
the Capital Securities. The particular Capital Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected on a pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) not more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding
Capital Securities not previously called for redemption by such method as the
Property Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate which may provide for the
selection for redemption of portions of Capital Securities, or with respect to
Book-Entry Capital Securities, in accordance with the Clearing Agency's
customary procedures, provided in either case that the Holder of such Capital
Securities has at least 100 Capital Securities remaining after the redemption.
Such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holders and the
Property Trustee shall have no liability in connection therewith. The Property
Trustee shall promptly notify the Security Registrar in writing of the Capital
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital Securities
selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed.
In the event that less than all of the Capital Securities (other than Book-Entry
Capital Securities) represented by a Capital Securities Certificate are to be
redeemed, upon surrender of such Capital Securities Certificate the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute and deliver to the
Paying Agent, for further delivery to the Holder of such Capital Securities
without service charge, a new Capital Securities Certificate representing the
unredeemed Capital Securities evidenced by the Capital Securities Certificate so
surrendered. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context
otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital
Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed or to be
redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Liquidation Amount of Capital
Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.
22
Section 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.
(a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable)
on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be
made, subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the
Capital Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of such Common Securities and
Capital Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or
Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including
Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or Redemption Price of, any Common
Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or
other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in
cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including Additional Amounts,
if applicable) on all Outstanding Capital Securities for all Distribution
periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the
Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding
Capital Securities then called for redemption, shall have been made or provided
for, and all funds available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to
the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including Additional Amounts,
if applicable) on, or the Redemption Price of, Capital Securities then due and
payable.
(b) In the case of the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event
of Default resulting from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of Common
Securities will be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any
such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such
Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived
or otherwise eliminated. Until any such Event of Default under this Trust
Agreement with respect to the Capital Securities has been so cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the
Holders of the Capital Securities and not the Holder of the Common Securities,
and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the
Property Trustee to act on their behalf.
Section 4.4. Payment Procedures.
Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) in
respect of the Capital Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities
Register or, at the option of the Administrative Trustees, by wire transfer, or
if the Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions
shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds, which shall
credit the relevant Persons' accounts at such Clearing Agency on the applicable
Distribution Dates. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made
in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the
Holder of the Common Securities.
23
Section 4.5. Tax Returns and Reports.
The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the
Depositor's expense, and file all United States federal, state and local tax and
information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the
Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file
(or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service
form required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the
Trust and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to
each Securityholder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to be
provided. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor and the
Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such
filing or furnishing. The Property Trustee shall comply with United States
federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting

validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did
not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a
Securityholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the

Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common
Securities Certificate.
25
Section 5.3. Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.
At the Time of Delivery, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Common
Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in
Section 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Trust and delivered, and the

Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Section 2.4, to
be executed by facsimile and delivered to the Property Trustee and upon such
delivery the Property Trustee shall authenticate such Capital Securities
Certificates, and deliver such Capital Securities Certificates in each case to
or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board,
its president, any executive vice president or any vice president, treasurer or
assistant treasurer or controller without further corporate action by the
Depositor, in authorized denominations.
Section 5.4. Book-Entry Capital Securities.
(a) Each Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate issued under this Trust
Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Clearing Agency designated by
the Depositor for the related Book-Entry Capital Securities or a nominee thereof
and delivered to such Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof or custodian
therefor.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no Book-
Entry Capital Securities Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part for
Capital Securities Certificates registered, and no transfer of a Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate in whole or in part may be registered, in the
name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificates or a nominee thereof unless (a) the Clearing Agency
advises the Property Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, and the Property Trustee is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Trust at its option advises the
Clearing Agency in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Debenture Event of
Default. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (a), (b) or (c)
above, the Administrative Trustees shall notify the Clearing Agency and the
Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of Book-Entry Capital Securities, the
Delaware Trustee and the Administrative Trustees of the occurrence of such event
and of the availability of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates to
Owners requesting the same; provided, however, that no Definitive Capital
Securities Certificate shall be issued in an amount representing less than 100
Capital Securities.
(c) If any Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged for
other Capital Securities Certificates or cancelled in part, or if another
Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for Book-
Entry Capital Securities represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificate, then either (i) such Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate
shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article
V or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate shall be
26
reduced, subject to Section 5.2, or increased by an amount equal to the
Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the
Liquidation Amount represented by such other Capital Securities Certificates to
be so exchanged for Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby, as the
case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the
Security Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized
representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon
surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar of the
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees,
or any one of them, shall execute Definitive Capital Securities Certificates in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency; provided, however, that
no Definitive Capital Securities Certificate shall be issued in an amount
representing less than 100 Capital Securities. None of the Securities Registrar,
the Trustees or the Administrative Trustees shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates, the Trustees and Administrative Trustees shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates as
Securityholders. The Definitive Capital Securities 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 the
execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them.
(d) Every Capital Securities Certificate executed and delivered upon
registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this
Article V or Article IV or otherwise, shall be executed and delivered in the
form of, and shall be, a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, unless such
Capital Securities Certificate is registered in the name of a Person other than
the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate or a
nominee thereof.
(e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as registered owner of a Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate, shall be the Holder of such Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement and the Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate, and Owners with respect to a Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificate shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Procedures. The Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal
with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to
the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates (including the payment of the
Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Book-Entry Capital Securities
represented thereby and the giving of instructions or directions to Owners of
Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby) as the sole Holder of the
Book-Entry Capital Securities represented thereby and shall have no obligations
to the Owners thereof. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall
have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.
27
The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those
established by law, the Applicable Procedures and agreements between such Owners
and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the
Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.4(b), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit payments on the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency
Participants.
Section 5.5. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities
Certificates; Restricted Capital Securities Legends.
(a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, a register or registers for the
purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges
of Capital Securities Certificates (the "Securities Register") in which the
registrar designated by the Property Trustee (the "Securities Registrar"), with
the reasonable consent of the Administrative Trustees, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration
of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates and
(subject to Section 5.11 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates)
registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates as
herein provided. The Bank shall be the initial Securities Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities
Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, the
Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute and deliver to the
Property Trustee for further delivery, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities Certificates in authorized
denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated
the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee.
The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of
any Capital Securities that have been called for redemption. At the option of a
Holder, Capital Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Capital
Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a
like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Capital Securities
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 5.9.
Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Registrar duly
executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Capital
Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Property Trustee in
accordance with its customary practice.
28
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Capital Securities Certificates, but the Securities Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities
Certificates.
The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Bank
also in its role as Securities Registrar, for so long as the Bank shall act as
Securities Registrar.
Whenever this document makes reference to the execution of Trust Securities
Certificates, such reference to execution shall mean manual execution or, in the
alternative, execution by facsimile signature by an Administrative Trustee and
authentication by the Property Trustee.
Capital Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were at any time the proper Administrative Trustees of the
Trust shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Capital Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Capital Securities Certificates.
Each Capital Securities Certificate that is executed by facsimile and
authenticated by the Property Trustee shall be dated the date of its
authentication.
No Capital Securities Certificate that is executed by facsimile and
authenticated by the Property Trustee shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Trust Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there
appears on such Capital Securities Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for in the form attached as Exhibit E-2
executed by the Property Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Capital Securities
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Capital Securities Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.
(b) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision
-------------------------------
of this Trust Agreement, transfers and exchanges of Original Capital Securities
Certificates and beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Capital Security of the
kinds specified in this Section 5.5(b) shall be made only in accordance with
this Section 5.5(b).
(i) Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to Book-Entry
-----------------------------------------------------------
Capital Securities Certificate. If the Holder of an Original Capital
------------------------------
Securities Certificate (other than a Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificate) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of the
Capital Securities represented thereby to a Person who wishes to take
delivery thereof in the form of Book-Entry Capital Securities represented
by a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, such transfer may be
effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and
subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Securities
Registrar of (A) such Capital Securities
29
Certificate as provided in Section 5.5(a) and instructions satisfactory to
the Securities Registrar directing that a specified number of Capital
Securities to be represented by the Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificate not greater than the number of Capital Securities represented
by such Capital Securities Certificate be credited to a specified Clearing
Agency Participant's account and (B) a Restricted Capital Securities
Certificate duly executed by such Holder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, then the Securities Registrar shall cancel such Capital Securities
Certificate (and issue a new Capital Securities Certificate in respect of
any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 5.5(a) and
increase the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificate by the Liquidation Amount represented by such
Capital Securities so transferred as provided in Section 5.4(c).
(ii) Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate to Non-Book-
---------------------------------------------------------
Entry Capital Securities Certificate. An Original Capital Securities
------------------------------------
Certificate that is not a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate may be
transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the
form of another Capital Securities Certificate that is not a Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.5(a); provided that
--------
if the Capital Securities Certificate represents Restricted Capital
Securities, then the Securities Registrar shall have received a Restricted
Capital Securities Certificate duly executed by the transferor Holder or
his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(iii) Exchanges between Book-Entry Capital Securities
-----------------------------------------------
Certificate and Non-Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate. A Book-
-------------------------------------------------------------
Entry Capital Security represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificate may be exchanged for a Capital Securities Certificate that is
not a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.4.
(iv) Certain Initial Transfers of Non-Book-Entry Capital
---------------------------------------------------
Securities Certificates. In the case of Capital Securities Certificates
-----------------------
initially issued other than in global form, an initial transfer or exchange
of such Capital Securities Certificates that does not involve any change in
beneficial ownership may be made to an Institutional Accredited Investor or
Investors as if such transfer or exchange were not an initial transfer or
exchange; provided that a written certification is provided certifying that
such exchange or transfer does not involve a change in beneficial
ownership.
(v) Limitations Relating to Size of Blocks. Notwithstanding any
--------------------------------------
other provision of this Trust Agreement, Capital Securities may only be
transferred or exchanged in blocks having a Liquidation Amount of not less
than $100,000. Any transfer, exchange or other disposition of Capital
Securities in contravention of this Section 5.5(b)(v) shall be deemed to be
void and of no legal effect whatsoever, any such transferee shall be deemed
not to be the Holder or Owner of such Capital Security for any purpose,
including but not limited to the receipt of Distributions on such Capital
30
Securities, and such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest
whatsoever in such Capital Securities.
(c) Restricted Capital Securities Legend. All Capital Securities issued
------------------------------------
hereunder shall bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend, subject to the
following:
(i) New Capital Securities other than Private Exchange
Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
shall not bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend;
(ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 5.5(c), a
Capital Securities Certificate or any portion thereof which is exchanged,
upon transfer or otherwise, for a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate
or any portion thereof shall bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend;
(iii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 5.5(c), a
new Capital Securities Certificate which is not a Book-Entry Capital
Securities Certificate and is issued in exchange for another Capital
Securities Certificate (including a Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificate) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear
a Restricted Capital Securities Legend;
(iv) any Original Capital Securities or Private Exchange
Securities which are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act (including the Shelf
Registration Statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement),
together with their Successor Capital Securities shall not bear a
Restricted Capital Securities Legend; provided the Property Trustee has
received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, in the form of Exhibit G
hereto, duly executed by the Holder or Owner of such Restricted Capital
Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Depositor or
an Administrative Trustee shall inform the Property Trustee in writing of
the effective date of any such registration statement registering the
Original Capital Securities under the Securities Act and shall notify the
Property Trustee at any time when prospectuses may not be delivered with
respect to Original Capital Securities to be sold pursuant to such
registration statement. The Property Trustee shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the aforementioned registration statement;
(v) after February 4, 2000, a new Capital Securities Certificate
(other than a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate) which does not
bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend shall (unless an Administrative
Trustee provides an Opinion of Counsel to the contrary) be issued in
exchange for or in lieu of a Capital Securities Certificate representing
Restricted Capital Securities or any portion thereof if the Property
Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, in the form of
Exhibit G hereto, duly executed by the Holder or the Owner of such
Restricted Capital Securities or his attorney
31
duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such
certificate, the Administrative Trustees shall execute and deliver such a
new Capital Securities Certificate in exchange for or in lieu of such other
certificate representing Restricted Capital Securities as provided in this
Article V;
(vi) a new Capital Securities Certificate (other than a Book-
Entry Capital Securities Certificate) which does not bear a Restricted
Capital Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a
Capital Securities Certificate representing Restricted Capital Securities
or any portion thereof based on an Opinion of Counsel, stating that placing
such a legend upon such new Capital Securities Certificate is not necessary
to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act, and the Administrative Trustees shall execute and deliver such a new
Capital Securities Certificate as provided in this Article V; and
(vii) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
5.5(c), a Successor Capital Securities Certificate of a Capital Securities
Certificate that does not bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend shall
not bear such form of legend unless a Responsible Officer of the Property
Trustee has actual knowledge (without conducting any independent inquiry)
that such Successor Capital Securities Certificate is a "restricted
security" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in which
case the Administrative Trustees shall authenticate and deliver a new
Capital Securities Certificate bearing a Restricted Capital Securities
Legend in exchange for such Successor Capital Securities Certificate as
provided in this Article V.
Section 5.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities
Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to
the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence
to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities
Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the
Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust
Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust shall
execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust
Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with
the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the
Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided
beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if originally issued, whether
or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found
at any time.
32
Section 5.7. Persons Deemed Securityholders.
The Trustees, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar shall
treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be
registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities
Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustees, the Administrative Trustees nor
the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5.8. Access to List of Securityholders' Names and Addresses.
Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the
Depositor, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Administrative
Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.9. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the
Administrative Trustees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices
and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities
Certificates may be served. The Corporate Trust Office of the Property Trustee
is initially designated the office for such purpose. The Administrative
Trustees or the Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the
Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location of the
Securities Register or any such office or agency.
Section 5.10. Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Securityholders from the
Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have
the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose
of making the Distributions referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke
such power and remove the Paying Agent in its sole discretion. The Paying Agent
shall initially be the Bank, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Bank, and
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees. Any Person acting as
Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written
notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. In the event
that the Bank shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent
shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees, or
if an Issuer Trust Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property
Trustee, shall appoint a successor that is reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Trustees to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust
company). Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent shall
execute and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying
Agent,
33
such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if
any, held by it for payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of
the Securityholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Securityholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the
Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also
return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of
Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Bank also in its role as
Paying Agent, for so long as the Bank shall act as Paying Agent and, to the
extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference
in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless
the context requires otherwise.
Section 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.
At the Time of Delivery, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial
and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, other than a transfer in connection with a consolidation or merger of
the Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the
Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture, any attempted transfer of the
Common Securities shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each
Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend
stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE."
Section 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency.
To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Owners is
required under this Trust Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital
Securities Certificates shall have been issued to all Owners pursuant to Section
5.4(b), the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified
herein to be given to Owners to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no
obligations to the Owners.
Section 5.13. Rights of Securityholders.
(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and
the Securityholders shall not have any right or title therein other than the
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their
Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below.
The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights
specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities
shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to
Securityholders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully
paid and nonassessable by the Trust. The Holders of the Trust Securities, in
their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
34
(b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a
Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare
the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the
Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then
Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Depositor and
the Debenture Trustee with a copy to the Property Trustee; and upon any such
declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the
Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment
of principal and interest on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the
extent provided in the Indenture.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the
Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as in the Indenture
provided, the Holders of a majority (based on Liquidation Amounts) of the
Outstanding Capital Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the
Depositor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and
its consequences if:
(i) the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue installments of interest (including any
Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) on all of the
Debentures,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any
Debentures which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures,
and
(C) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under
the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, their
agents and counsel; and
(ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than
the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures which has become due
solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 5.13 of the Indenture.
The Holders of a majority (based on Liquidation Amounts) of the Outstanding
Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities,
waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of
principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient
to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by
acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default in
respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
35
Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an
acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Capital
Securities all or part of which is represented by Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificates, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of
Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record
date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives
such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies,
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not
such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined
in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such
notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case
may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled
and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a
proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new
written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment
thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has
been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event
a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.13(b).
(c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the
fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement
and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(1)
or 5.1(2) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the
right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to
Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the
principal amount of or interest on Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a "Direct
Action"). Except as set forth in Section 5.13(b) and this Section 5.13(c), the
Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right
or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures.

Section 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights.
(a) Except as provided in this Section, in Sections 5.13, 8.10 and 10.2 and
in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Capital
Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the
administration, operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of the
parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms
of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the
Securityholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.
36
(b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the
Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing any
trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to such
Debentures, (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under Section 5.13 of
the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that
the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to
any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures,
where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior
approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of all
Outstanding Capital Securities; provided, however, that where a consent under
the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Debentures affected
thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the
prior written consent of each Holder of Capital Securities. The Trustees shall
not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders
of Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Capital
Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital
Securities of any notice of default received from the Debenture Trustee with
respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of
the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing
actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion
of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not
cause the Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for
United States federal income tax purposes.
(c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the
Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect
in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital
Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or
(ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than
pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding
Capital Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or
proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the
approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Outstanding Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a
result of such amendment, it would cause the Trust to fail to be classified as a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.
Section 6.2. Notice of Meetings.
Notice of all meetings of the Capital Securityholders, stating the time,
place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Capital Securityholder of record, at its
registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the
meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be
so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned
meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.
37
Section 6.3. Meetings of Capital Securityholders.
No annual meeting of Securityholders is required to be held. The Property
Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of Capital Securityholders to vote on any
matter upon the written request of the Capital Securityholders of record
representing 25% of the Outstanding Capital Securities (based upon their
Liquidation Amount) and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may,
at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of Capital Securityholders to
vote on any matters as to which Capital Securityholders are entitled to vote.
Capital Securityholders of record of 50% of the Outstanding Capital
Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Capital Securityholders.
If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Capital
Securityholders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding more than a
majority of the Outstanding Capital Securities (based upon their Liquidation
Amount) held by the Capital Securityholders of record present, either in person
or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Capital
Securityholders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of
affirmative votes.
Section 6.4. Voting Rights.
Securityholders shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 of
Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust Securities in respect of any
matter as to which such Securityholders are entitled to vote.
Section 6.5. Proxies, etc.
At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholder entitled to vote
thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting
unless it shall have been placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such
other officer or agent of the Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for
verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. If authorized
by the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property
Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Securityholders of
record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by
several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy
in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be
present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their
proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be
received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed
by or on behalf of a Securityholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at
or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the
challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of
execution.
38
Section 6.6. Securityholder Action by Written Consent.
Any action which may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be taken
without a meeting if Securityholders holding more than a majority of all
Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) entitled to
vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be
required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the
action in writing.
Section 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.
For the purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to
notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in
any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is
not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any
other action, the Administrative Trustees or Property Trustee may from time to
time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of
Securityholders or the payment of a distribution or other action, as the case
may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the
Securityholders of record for such purposes.
Section 6.8. Acts of Securityholders.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or
taken by Securityholders or Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or
more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders
or Owners in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Securityholders or
Owners signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor
of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or
writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner which any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.
39
The ownership of Capital Securities shall be proved by the Securities
Register.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act of the Securityholder of any Trust Security shall bind every future
Securityholder of the same Trust Security and the Securityholder of every Trust
Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to
be done by the Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled hereunder to take
any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by
one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.
If any dispute shall arise between the Securityholders and the
Administrative Trustees or among such Securityholders or Trustees with respect
to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand,
authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Securityholder or
Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the
Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.
Section 6.9. Inspection of Records.
Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property
Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by Securityholders
during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such
Securityholder's interest as a Securityholder.

as the case may be, governing the banking, trust or general powers of the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee (as appropriate in context) or any

Trustee;
(g) neither the authorization, execution or delivery by the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee of this Trust Agreement nor the consummation of
any of the transactions by the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee (as
appropriate in context) contemplated herein or therein requires the consent or
approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with or the taking of any

materially and adversely affect the Trust or the right, power and authority of
the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, to enter into
or perform its obligations as one of the Trustees under this Trust Agreement.
Section 7.2. Representations and Warranties of Depositor.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Securityholders that:
(a) the Trust Securities Certificates issued at each Time of Delivery on
behalf of the Trust have been duly authorized and will have been, duly and
validly executed, issued and delivered by the Trustees pursuant to the terms and
provisions of, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Trust Agreement
and the Securityholders will be, as of each such date, entitled to the benefits
of this Trust Agreement; and

Trust (or the Trustees on behalf of the Trust) under the laws of the State of
Delaware or any political subdivision thereof in connection with the execution,

case may be, of this Trust Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII
The Trustees; the Administrative Trustees
Section 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees and Administrative
Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the
Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustees or Administrative
Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to
it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or
not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to
the Trustees or Administrative Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of
this Article. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an
Administrative Trustee from liability for its own gross negligent action, its
own gross negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct. To the extent
that, at law or in equity, an Administrative Trustee has duties and liabilities
relating thereto to the Trust or to the Securityholders, such Administrative
Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such
Administrative Trustee's good
42
faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this
Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of
the Administrative Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed
by the Depositor and the Securityholders to replace such other duties and
liabilities of the Administrative Trustees.
(b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect
of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from
the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue
or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying
Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Securityholder,
by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the
revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees are not personally
liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or
for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b)
does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in
this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust
Indenture Act.
(c) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless
it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts;
(ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under
this Trust Agreement;
(iii) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the Payment
Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the
Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject
to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property
Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;
(iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any
money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor;
and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by
the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent
otherwise required by law; and
43
(v) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the
compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with their
respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property
Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of the Administrative
Trustees or the Depositor.
Section 8.2. Certain Notices.
Within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property
Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section
10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Securityholders, the Administrative
Trustees and the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured
or waived.
Within ten Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor's
exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures
pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner
and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the
Securityholders, unless such exercise shall have been revoked.
Section 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:
(a) the Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall fully be protected
in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion
of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture,
note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property
Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action or (ii) in
construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee
finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained
herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any
provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the
Capital Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust
Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor
requesting the Depositor's opinion as to the course of action to be taken and
the Property Trustee (regardless of whether or not the Property Trustee has
received an opinion from the Depositor) shall take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best
interests of the Securityholders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have
no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;
44
(c) any direction or act of the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees
contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate;
(d) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the Property
Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be established before undertaking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other
evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on
its part, request and rely upon an Officers' Certificate as to factual matters
(other than the interpretation of this Agreement) which, upon receipt of such
request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor or the Administrative
Trustees;
(e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing
or registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation
statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording,
refiling or reregistration thereof;
(f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice (which
counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, and may
include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and in
accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have the right at any
time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement
from any court of competent jurisdiction;
(g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or
direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless
such Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee security or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction;
(h) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond,
debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Securityholders, but the
Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit;
(i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or
attorneys and the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct
or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent or
attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;
(j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property
Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to
enforcing any remedy or right or taking
45
any other action hereunder the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions
from the Holders of the Trust Securities which instructions may only be given by
the Holders of the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities
as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust
Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from
enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such
instructions are received and (iii) shall be fully protected in acting in
accordance with such instructions;
(k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is
discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement;
(l) when the Property Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses (including the fees and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating
to creditors rights generally; and
(m) the Property Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of
Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee obtains actual
knowledge of such event or the Property Trustee receives written notice of such
event from Securityholders holding more than a majority of Capital Securities
(based on Liquidation Amounts).
No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or
obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any
right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction
in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee shall be
unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any
such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No
permissive power or authority available to the Property Trustee shall be
construed to be a duty.
Section 8.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates
shall be taken as the statements of the Trust, and the Trustees do not assume
any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Debentures.
Section 8.5. May Hold Securities.
Any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust
Securities and, subject to Sections 8.8 and 8.13 and except as provided in the
definition of the term "Outstanding" in Article I, may otherwise deal with the
Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee or such other
agent.
46
Section 8.6. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.
The Depositor agrees:
(a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time reasonable compensation for
all services rendered by them hereunder in such amounts as the Depositor and
such Trustees shall agree upon from time to time (which compensation shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust);
(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust
Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
(c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and
hold harmless (i) each Trustee, (ii) any Affiliate of any Trustee, (iii) any
officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any
Trustee, (iv) each Administrative Trustee and (v) any employee or agent of the
Trust or its Affiliates (referred to herein as an "Indemnified Person") from and
against any loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind
or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the
creation, operation or termination of the Trust or 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 Trust Agreement,
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 or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.
The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this
Trust Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of any Trustee.
No Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any Trust Property as a result
of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6.
The Depositor and any Trustee (in the case of the Property Trustee, subject
to Section 8.8 hereof) may engage in or possess an interest in other business
ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or
dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Trust
Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement 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. Neither the Depositor, nor any 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 the Depositor or
47
any 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 Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial
or other transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or
may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body
of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Depositor or its
Affiliates.
Section 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Trustees
and Administrative Trustees.
(a) There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is a
national or state chartered bank and eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture
Act to act as such, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.
(b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee
shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal
entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that
entity.
(c) There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who
is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a
legal entity with its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and
that otherwise meets the requirements of applicable Delaware law that shall act
through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.
Section 8.8. Conflicting Interests.
(a) If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest
within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by,
and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Trust
Agreement.
(b) The Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture shall be deemed to be
specifically described in this Trust Agreement for the purposes of clause (i) of
the first provision contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.
48
Section 8.9. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.
Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any
time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located,
the Property Trustee shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request
of the Property Trustee, the Holder of the Common Securities and the
Administrative Trustees shall for such purpose join in the execution, delivery,
and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust
Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the
instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity
aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the other provisions of this Section. Any co-trustee or separate
trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person
who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States or (ii) a
legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that
shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.
Should any written instrument from the Holder of the Common Securities be
required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully
confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right,
or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed,
acknowledged and delivered by the Holder of the Common Securities.
Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely:
(a) The Trust Securities shall be executed and delivered and all rights,
powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of
securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
deposited or pledged with, the Trustees specified hereunder shall be exercised
solely by such Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee.
(b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed
upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property
Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee
jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or
separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-
trustee or separate trustee.
(c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed
by it, with the written concurrence of the Holder of the Common Securities, may
accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed
under this Section, and, in case a
49
Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee
shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or
separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written
request of the Property Trustee, the Holder of the Common Securities shall join
with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or
removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or
removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section.
(d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee
hereunder.
(e) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-
trustee or separate trustee.
(f) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to
have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.
Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee") and no
appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.
Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Securityholders and
by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. If the instrument of acceptance by
the successor Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to
the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Trust, any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant
Trustee. The Property Trustee shall have no liability for the selection of such
successor pursuant to this Section 8.10.
The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be
removed by Act of the Holders of a majority (based on Liquidation Amounts) of
the Outstanding Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its
individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust) (i) at any time for cause or
(ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with or
without cause. In addition, unless an Issuer Trust Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of
them, may be removed at any time by the Holder of the Common Securities.
If any Trustee shall resign, be removed by the Holder of Common Securities
or the Holders of a majority (based on Liquidation Amounts) of the Outstanding
Capital Securities or
50
become incapable of acting as trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office
of any Trustee for any cause, (i) unless an Issuer Trust Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common
Securityholder, delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, or (ii) if an Issuer
Trust Default has occurred and is continuing, the Relevant Trustee (except if
such Trustee was removed by the Holder of the Common Securities or the Holders
of a majority (based on Liquidation Amounts) of the Outstanding Capital
Securities or if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or
the Capital Securityholders, by Act of the Securityholders of at least 25% in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding delivered to the
retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee
or Trustees. If the Property Trustee shall appoint a successor, it shall do so
by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements,
its expenses and charges to serve as the Property Trustee on a form provided by
the Administrative Trustees, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest
expense and charges. In any case, such successor Relevant Trustee shall comply
with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant
Trustee shall have been so appointed as provided above and accepted appointment
in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Securityholder may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, or the Property Trustee, may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant
Trustee.
The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal
of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Securityholders
in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to the Holder of
the Common Securities. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the
Property Trustee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or
becomes incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death,
incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee following the
procedures in Section 8.10 (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the
eligibility requirement for a Delaware Trustee set forth in Section 8.7).
Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the
retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to
the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each
successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust and (b) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it
being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such
Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such
amendment the
51
resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective
to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of
the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust
Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust.
Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts
referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.
No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article.
Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all
the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of
such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise
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.
Section 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or Trust.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
similar judicial proceeding relative to the Trust or any other obligor upon the
Trust Securities or the property of the Trust or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on
the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall
have made any demand on the Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions)
shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions
owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
52
(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the
Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 8.14. Reports by Property Trustee.
(a) Not later than 60 days after December 31 of each year commencing with
December 31, 1997, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Securityholders in
accordance with Section 10.8, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of
the immediately preceding December 31 with respect to:
(i) its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof, if to the
best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said Section, a
written statement to such effect; and
(ii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as
Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken by
the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it
has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the
Trust Securities.
(b) In addition, the Property Trustee shall transmit to Securityholders
such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust
Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times
and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.
(c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to
Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with the Depositor and after
qualification of this Trust Agreement under the Trust Indenture Act, with the
Commission.
53
Section 8.15. Reports to the Property Trustee.
The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall
provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as

in the manner and at the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture
Act.
Section 8.16. Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.
Each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the
Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any

to any of the matters set forth in Section 314 (c) of the Trust Indenture Act.
Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to
Section 314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an
Officers' Certificate.
Section 8.17. Number of Trustees.
(a) The number of Trustees shall be two. The Property Trustee and the
Delaware Trustee may be the same Person.
(b) If a Trustee ceases to hold office or for any reason a vacancy shall
occur, the vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with
Section 8.10.
(c) The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, incompetence
or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee or an Administrative Trustee
shall not operate to annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust.
Section 8.18. 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
2.7(a), including any registration statement or amendment thereto filed with the
Commission, or making any other governmental filing; and
(b) The Administrative Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to
time to such of their number the doing of such things and the execution of such
instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the 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 this Trust Agreement, as set forth herein.
54
Section 8.19. Appointment of Administrative Trustees.
(a) The Administrative Trustees shall be appointed by the Common
Securityholder and may be removed by the Common Securityholder at any time.
Each Administrative Trustee shall sign an agreement agreeing to comply with the
terms of this Trust Agreement. If at any time there is no Administrative
Trustee, the Property Trustee or any Securityholder who has been a
Securityholder of Trust Securities for at least six months may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of one or more
Administrative Trustees.
(b) Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrative Trustees shall
occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrative
Trustee in accordance with this Section 8.19, the Administrative Trustees in
office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to the Administrative
Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrative
Trustees by this Trust Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee who is a natural person dies
or becomes, in the opinion of the Common Securityholder, incompetent or
incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may
be filled by the unanimous act of the remaining Administrative Trustees if there
were at least two of them prior to such vacancy (with the successor in each case
being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative
Trustees set forth in Section 8.7).
ARTICLE IX
Termination, Liquidation and Merger
Section 9.1. Termination Upon Expiration Date.
Unless earlier terminated, the Trust shall automatically terminate on
February 1, 2028 (the "Expiration Date"), following the distribution of the
Trust Property in accordance with Section 9.4.
Section 9.2. Early Termination.
The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early Termination
Event":
(a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution
or liquidation of, the Holder of the Common Securities;
55
(b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holder of the
Common Securities at any time to terminate the Trust and, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, distribute
Debentures to Securityholders in exchange for the Capital Securities; provided,
however, that the Property Trustee shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such distribution will not be a taxable event to the
Holders;
(c) the redemption of all of the Trust Securities in connection with the
redemption of all the Debentures; and
(d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Trust by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
Section 9.3. Termination.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the
Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of
the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Securityholders
upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the
redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2, of all
amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of the Trust
Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust; and (c) the
discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including
the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Trust or
the Securityholders.
Section 9.4. Liquidation.
(a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of
Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated by
the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be
possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the
Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a Like Amount of
Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by
the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid mailed not later than
30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust
Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All
notices of liquidation shall:
(i) state the Liquidation Date;
(ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust
Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust
Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to
represent a Like Amount of Debentures or the right to receive a Liquidation
Distribution, as applicable; and
(iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which
Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or if
Section 9.4(d) applies
56
receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Property Trustee (after
consultation with the Administrative Trustees) shall deem appropriate.
(b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the
liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to Securityholders,
the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the
appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it
shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for
the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.
(c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation
Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii)
certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be issued to Holders
of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the
exchange agent for exchange, (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not so
surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of
Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the Debentures from
the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution was made on such Trust
Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until
such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will
be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such
Debentures) and (iv) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities will
cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive Debentures upon
surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.
(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section
9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the manner provided
herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, the Trust
Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be dissolved, wound-up or
terminated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee
determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution, winding-up or other
termination of the Trust, Securityholders will be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Trust available for distribution to Securityholders, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable
law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus
accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount
being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such dissolution, winding up
or termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because
the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate
Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the
amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata
basis (based on Liquidation Amounts). The holder of the Common Securities will
be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution,
winding-up or termination pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of
Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common
Securities. Any such determination and liquidation by the Property Trustee
shall be conclusive upon the Securityholders and the Property Trustee shall have
no liability in connection therewith.
57
Section 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of the
Trust.
The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to, any corporation or other entity, except
pursuant to this Section 9.5. At the request of the Holders of the Common
Securities, with the consent of the Holders of a majority (based on Liquidation
Amounts) of the Outstanding Capital Securities, the Trust may merge with or
into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease
its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, a trust organized as
such under the laws of any State; provided, that (i) such successor entity
either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust with respect to
the Capital Securities or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities other
securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (the
"Successor Securities") so long as the Successor Securities have the same
priority as the Capital Securities with respect to distributions and payments
upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Holders of a majority
(based on Liquidation Amounts) of the Outstanding Capital Securities appoints a
trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the
Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures, (iii) such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not
cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be
downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (iv)
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the
Holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any
material respect, (v) such successor entity has a purpose substantially
identical to that of the Trust, (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust has received
an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that (a) such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not
adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the
Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect
and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor entity will
be required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act and (vii)
the Depositor or any permitted successor or assignee owns all of the Common
Securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such
successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided
by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except
with the consent of holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
to, any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate,
merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the
successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United
States federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE X
Miscellaneous Provisions
Section 10.1. Limitation of Rights of Securityholders.
The death or incapacity of any person having an interest, beneficial or
otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust

of Capital Securityholders representing not less than a majority (based on
Liquidation Amounts) of the Capital Securities then Outstanding and (ii) receipt
by the Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or
the exercise of any power granted to the Trustees or the Administrative Trustees

grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or the Trust's
exemption from status of an investment company under the 1940 Act.

Agreement, without the consent of each affected Securityholder (such consent

Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such date; notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the
unanimous consent of the Securityholders (such consent being obtained in
accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this paragraph (c) of this Section
10.2 may not be amended.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no
Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement
which would cause the Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the exemption from
status of an investment company under the 1940 Act or fail or cease to be
classified as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary,
without the consent of the Depositor, this Trust Agreement may not be amended in
a manner which imposes any additional obligation on the Depositor.
(f) In the event that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is made, the
Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall promptly provide to the
Depositor a copy of such amendment.
(g) Neither the Property Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be required
to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement which affects its own
rights, duties or immunities under this Trust Agreement or would otherwise
expose the Property Trustee to any liability or be contrary to applicable law.

Officers' Certificate stating that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is in
compliance with this Trust Agreement.

Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

Section 10.9. Agreement Not to Petition.
Each of the Trustees and the Depositor agree for the benefit of the
Securityholders that, until at least one year and one day after the Trust has
been terminated in accordance with Article IX, they shall not file, or join in
the filing of, a petition against the Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law (including, without limitation, the United

the commencement of any proceeding against the Trust under any Bankruptcy Law.

Property Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Securityholders, that at the expense
of the Depositor, it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise
properly contest the filing of such petition by the Depositor against the Trust
or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the Depositor has
agreed in writing not to take such action and should be stopped and precluded

the purposes of the Trust Indenture Act.
(c) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision hereof which is required to be included in this Trust Agreement by any
of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control. If any provision of this Trust Agreement modifies or excludes any
provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the
latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Trust Agreement as so modified
or excluded, as the case may be.
62
(d) The application of the Trust Indenture Act to this Trust Agreement
shall not affect the nature of the Securities as equity securities representing
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust.
Section 10.11. Delivery of Certain Information.
At any time when the Depositor is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder of a Capital Security, the Depositor

below) to such Holder, or to a prospective purchaser of any such Capital
Security designated by any such Holder to the extent required to permit
compliance by such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any
successor provision thereto) in connection with the resale of any such Capital
Security; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to furnish
such information in connection with any request made on or after the date which
is three years from the later of (i) the date such a Capital Security (or any
such predecessor Capital Security) was last acquired from the Trust or (ii) the
date such Security (or any such predecessor Security) was last acquired from an
"affiliate" of the Depositor or the Trust within the meaning of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). "Rule 144A
Information" shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).
Section 10.12. Acceptance of Terms of Trust Agreement, Guarantee and
Indenture.
THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A TRUST SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN BY

ACCEPTANCE BY THE SECURITYHOLDER AND ALL OTHERS HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN

[Issue Description]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to certain matters
relating to the above-referenced issue (the "Securities"). Agent will act as
trustee, paying agent, fiscal agent, or other agent of Issuer with respect to
the Securities. The Securities will be issued pursuant to a trust indenture,
resolution, or other such document authorizing the issuance of the Securities
dated February 4, 1997 (the "Document"). Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. is distributing
---------- - -------------------
["Underwriter"]
the Securities through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC").
To induce DTC to accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC, and
to act in accordance with its Rules with respect to the Securities, Issuer and
Agent make the following representations to DTC:
1. Prior to closing on the Securities on February 4, 1997, there shall be
---------- -
deposited with DTC one Security certificate registered in the name of DTC's
nominee, Cede & Co., for each stated maturity of the Securities in the face
amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto, the total of
which represents 100% of the principal amount of such Securities. If, however,
the aggregate principal amount of any maturity exceeds $200 million, one
certificate will be issued with respect to each $200 million of principal amount
and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining
principal amount. Each Security certificate shall bear the following legend:
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to Issuer or its
agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
2. In the event of any solicitation of consents from or voting by holders of
the Securities, Issuer or Agent shall establish a record date for such purposes
(with no provision for revocation of consents or votes by subsequent holders)
and shall send notice of such record date to DTC not less than 15 calendar days
in advance of such record date. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by
telecopy shall be sent to DTC's Reorganization Department at (000) 000-0000 or
(000) 000-0000, and receipt of such notices shall be confirmed by telephoning
(000) 000-0000. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by mail or by any
other means shall be sent to DTC's Reorganization Department as indicated in
Paragraph 4.
3. In the event of a full or partial redemption, Issuer or Agent shall send a
notice to DTC specifying: (a) the amount of the redemption or refunding; (b) in
the case of a refunding, the maturity date(s) established under the refunding;
and (c) the date such notice is to be mailed to Security holders or published
(the "Publication Date"). Such notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means
(e.g., legible telecopy, registered or certified mail, overnight delivery) in a
timely manner designed to assure that such notice is in DTC's possession no
later than the close of business on the business day before or, if possible, two
business days before the Publication Date. Issuer or Agent shall forward such
notice either in a separate secure transmission for each CUSIP number or in a
secure transmission for multiple CUSIP numbers (if applicable) which includes a
manifest or list of each CUSIP number submitted in that transmission. (The party
sending such notice shall have a method to verify subsequently the use of such
means and the timeliness of such notice). The Publication Date shall be not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date or, in the case
of an advance refunding, the date that the proceeds are deposited in escrow.
Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by telecopy shall be sent to DTC's
Call Notification Department at (000) 000-0000 or (000) 000-0000. If the party
sending the notice does not receive a telecopy receipt from DTC confirming that
the notice has been received, such party shall telephone (000) 000-0000. Notices
to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph by mail or by any other means shall be sent
to:
Manager; Call Notification Department
The Depository Trust Company
000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000
4. In the event of an invitation to tender the Securities (including mandatory
tenders, exchanges, and capital changes), notice by Issuer or Agent to Security
holders specifying the terms of the tender and the Publication Date of such
notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means in the manner set forth in the
preceding Paragraph. Notices to DTC pursuant to this Paragraph and notices of
other corporate actions by telecopy shall be sent to DTC's Reorganization
Department
-2-
at (000) 000-0000 or (000) 000-0000, and receipt of such notices shall be
confirmed by telephoning (000) 000-0000. Notices to DTC pursuant to the above
by mail or by any other means shall be sent to:

Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000
5. All notices and payment advices sent to DTC shall contain the CUSIP number
of the Securities.
6. In the event of a change in the interest rate, Agent shall send notice of
such change to Standard & Poor's Corporation. Such notice, which shall also
include Agent contact's name and telephone number, shall also be sent to DTC's
Dividend Department either by telecopy to (000) 000-0000, or if by mail or by
any other means to:
Manager; Announcements
Dividend Department

the dollar amount of the payment for each issue. Notification of payment
details should be sent using automated communications.
8. Interest payments and principal payments that are part of periodic
principal-and-interest payments shall be received by Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, or its registered assigns in same-day funds, no later than 2:30 p.m.

between Issuer or Agent and DTC). Absent any other arrangements between Issuer
or Agent and DTC, such funds shall be wired as follows:

Issuer or Agent shall provide interest payment information to a standard
announcement service subscribed to by DTC. In the unlikely event that no such
service exists, issuer agrees that it or Agent shall provide this information
directly to DTC in advance of the interest record date as soon as the
information is available. This information should be conveyed directly to DTC
electronically. If electronic transmission is not available, absent any other
arrangements between Agent and DTC, such information should be sent by telecopy
to DTC's Dividend Department at (000) 000-0000 or (000) 000-0000, and receipt of
such notices shall be confirmed by telephoning (000) 000-0000. Notice to DTC

11. DTC may direct Issuer or Agent to use any other number or address as the
number or address to which notices or payments of interest or principal may be
sent.
12. In the event of a redemption, acceleration, or any other similar
transaction (e.g., tender made and accepted in response to Issuer's or Agent's
invitation) necessitating a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of
Securities outstanding or an advance refunding of part of the Securities
outstanding, DTC, in its discretion: (a) may request Issuer or Agent to issue
and authenticate a new Security certificate; or (b) may make an appropriate
notation on the Security certificate indicating the date and amount of such
reduction in principal except in the case of final maturity, in which case the
certificate will be presented to Issuer or Agent prior to payment, if required.
13. In the event that Issuer determines that beneficial owners of Securities
shall be able to obtain certificated Securities, Issuer or Agent shall notify
DTC of the availability of certificates. In such event, Issuer or Agent shall
issue, transfer, and exchange certificates in appropriate amounts, as required
by DTC and others.
14. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with
respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or
Agent (at which time DTC will confirm with Issuer or Agent the aggregate
principal amount of Securities outstanding). Under such circumstances, at DTC's
request Issuer and Agent shall cooperate fully with DTC by taking appropriate
action to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing
Securities to any DTC Participant having Securities credited to its DTC
accounts.
15. Issuer: (a) understands that DTC has no obligation to, and will not,
communicate to its Participants or to any person having an interest in the
Securities any information contained in the Security certificate(s); and (b)
acknowledges that neither DTC's Participants nor any person having an interest
in the Securities shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of the
Security certificate(s) by virtue of submission of such certificate(s) to DTC.
16. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on
behalf of Issuer.

-----
A. If there is an Agent (as defined in
this Letter of Representations), Agent, as
well as Issuer, must sign this Letter. If
there is no Agent, in signing this Letter

DTC believes accurately describe DTC, the
method of effecting book-entry transfers

DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE
-----------------------------------
(Prepared by DTC--bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)
1. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as
securities depository for the securities (the "Securities"). The Securities
will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede &
Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully-registered Security certificate will
be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal
amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the
aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $200 million, one certificate
will be issued with respect to each $200 million of principal amount and an
additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal
amount of such issue]
2. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York
Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking
Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit
with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities
transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number
of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Assess to the DTC system is also available to others such as
securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or
indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its
Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through
Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC's
records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security
("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect
Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation
from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive
written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as
periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of
ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on
the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial
Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in
Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry-system for the
Securities is discontinued.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by
Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee,
Cede & Co. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the
name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no
knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC's records
reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such
Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The
Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on
behalf of their customers.
5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct
Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct
Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time.
[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the
Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by
lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be
redeemed.]
-i-
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to Securities.
Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as
possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s
consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the
Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to
the Omnibus Proxy).
8. Principal and interest payments on the Securities will be made to DTC.
DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on payable date in
accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has
reason to believe that it will not receive payment on payable date. Payments by
Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the
responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to
any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of Issuer or
Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the
responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial
Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities
purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent,
and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant
to transfer the Participant's interest in the Securities, on DTC's records, to
[Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities
in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed
satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct
Participants on DTC's records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered
Securities to [Tender/DTC Remarketing] Agent's account.]
10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with
respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or
Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities
depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and
delivered.
11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers
through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security
certificates will be printed and delivered.
12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry
system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but
Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

REPRESENTATIONS FOR RULE 144A SECURITIES-
to be included in DTC Letter of Representations
1. Issuer represents that at the time of initial registration in the name of
DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., the Securities were Legally or Contractually
Restricted Securities,/1/ eligible for transfer under Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and identified by a
CUSIP or CINS identification number that was different from any CUSIP or CINS
number assigned to any securities of the same class that were not Legally or
Contractually obtained for all unrestricted securities of the same class that is
different from any CUSIP or CINS identification number assigned to a Legally or
Contractually Restricted Security of such class, and shall notify DTC promptly
in the event that it is unable to do so. Issuer represents that it has agreed
to comply with all applicable information requirements of Rule 144A.
2. Issuer represents that the Securities are [Note: Issuer must represent one
of the following, and may cross out the other]
[an issue of nonconvertible debt securities or nonconvertible preferred stock
which is rated in one of the top four categories by a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization ("Investment-Grade Securities").]
[*]
3. If the Securities are not Investment-Grade Securities, Issuer and Agent
acknowledge that if such Securities cease to be included in an SRO Rule 144A
System during any period in which such Securities are Legally or Contractually
Restricted Securities, such Securities shall no longer be eligible for DTC's
services. Furthermore, DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities
depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable
notice to Issuer or Agent. Under any of the aforementioned circumstances, at
DTC's request, Issuer and Agent shall cooperate fully with DTC by taking
appropriate action to make available one or more separate certificates
evidencing Securities to any Participant having Securities credited to its DTC
accounts.
-------------------
/1/A "Legally Restricted Security" is a security that is a restricted
security, as defined in Rule 144(a)(3). A "Contractually Restricted Security" is
a security that upon issuance and continually thereafter can only be sold
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, Rule 144A, Rule 144, or in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 4 of the Securities Act and not involving any public
offering; provided, however, that once the security is sold pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 144, including Rule 144(k), it will thereby cease to be a
"Contractually Restricted Security." For purposes of this definition, in order
for a depositary receipt to be considered a "Legally or Contractually Restricted
Security," the underlying security must also be a "Legally or Contractually
Restricted Security."
[1/94]
[* Last paragraph of this section omitted]
4. Issuer and Agent acknowledge that so long as Cede & Co. is a record owner
of the Securities, Cede & Co. shall be entitled to all applicable voting rights
and to receive the full amount of all distributions payable with respect
thereto. Issuer and Agent acknowledge that DTC shall treat any DTC Participant
("Participant") having Securities credited to its DTC amounts as entitled to the
full benefits of ownership of such Securities. Without limiting the generality
of the preceding sentence, Issuer and Agent acknowledge that DTC shall treat any
Participant having Securities credited to its DTC accounts as entitled to
receive distributions (and voting rights, if any) in respect of Securities, and
to receive from DTC certificates evidencing Securities. Issuer and Agent
recognize that DTC does not in any way undertake to, and shall not have any
responsibility to, monitor or ascertain the compliance of any transactions in
the Securities with any of the provisions: (a) of Rule 144A; (b) of other
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act or of any other state or
federal securities laws; or (c) of the offering documents.
