the Trust Securities, and, except during any Extended Interest Period with
respect to the Debentures, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31,
June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2002.
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) except that if such Business Day is
in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day (and without any reduction in interest or any
other payment in respect of any such acceleration), in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on such date (each date on which distributions are
payable in accordance with this Section 401(a), a "Distribution Date").
(b) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the
Trust Property. Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable at a rate
of ____% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The amount
of Distributions payable for any full period shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of Distributions for any
partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. During any Extended Interest Period with
respect to the Debentures, Distributions on the Preferred Securities shall be
deferred for a period equal to the
15
Extended Interest Period. The amount of Distributions payable for any period
shall include the Additional Amounts, if any.
(c) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Property
Trustee solely 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

Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be
the 15th day of March, June, September or December for Distributions payable on
the last calendar day of the respective month; provided, however, that for any
Trust Securities held in global form, Distributions shall be payable to the
Holder thereof as of one Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution
Date.
Section 402. Redemption.
----------
(a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and at maturity of the Debentures,
the Trust shall be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the
Redemption Price; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 402(a)
through (f) shall not apply to the exchange of Debentures for Trust Securities
held by the Depositor in accordance with the provisions of Section 402(g) hereof
and the related redemption of Debentures pursuant to Section 3.3(b) of the
Indenture.
(b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than thirty (30) nor more
than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust
Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities
Register. The Property Trustee shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of
any CUSIP number contained in such notice. All notices of redemption shall
state:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Redemption Price;
(iii) the CUSIP number;
(iv) if less than all the outstanding Trust Securities are to be
redeemed, the identification and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
particular Trust Securities to be redeemed;
(v) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become
due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that
Distributions thereon shall cease to accumulate on and after said date,
except as provided in Section 402(d); and
(vi) the place or places at which Trust Securities are to be
surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price.
16
(c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be
redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous
redemption of the Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made
and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the
extent that the Trust has immediately available funds then on hand and available
in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.
(d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any
Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption
Date, subject to Section 402(c), the Property Trustee, subject to Section
402(c), shall, with respect to Preferred Securities held in global form, deposit
with the Clearing Agency for such Preferred Securities, to the extent available
therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give
such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. With respect to
Trust Securities that are not held in global form, the Property Trustee, subject
to Section 402 (c), shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay
the applicable Redemption Price and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the record holders
thereof upon surrender of their Preferred Securities Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the
Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable
to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities
Register 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, (i) all rights of
Securityholders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption shall cease,
except the right of such Securityholders to receive the Redemption Price, but
without interest, (ii) such Trust Securities shall cease to be Outstanding,
(iii) the Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities or its nominee, as the
registered Holder of the Global Preferred Securities Certificate, shall receive
a registered global certificate or certificates representing the Debentures to
be delivered upon such distribution with respect to Preferred Securities held by
the Clearing Agency or its nominee, and (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates
not held by the Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities or its nominee as
specified in clause (iii) above will be deemed to represent Debentures having a
principal amount equal to the stated Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities
represented thereby and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal
to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust Securities until such
certificates are presented to the Securities Registrar for transfer or
reissuance. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable
is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date
shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such
Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made
on the immediately preceding Business Day (and without any reduction of interest
or any other payment in respect of any such acceleration), in each case with the
same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the
Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is
improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the
Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities
shall continue to accumulate, at the then applicable rate, from the Redemption
Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities to the date
such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date
shall be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price.
17
(e) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be made
to the record holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the
Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be the date fifteen
(15) days prior to the relevant Redemption Date; provided, however, that for any
Trust Securities held in global form, payment of the Redemption Price shall be
made to the Holder thereof as of one Business Day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date.
(f) Subject to Section 403(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust
Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a
pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and
the Preferred Securities. The particular Preferred Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously
called for redemption, by such method (including, without limitation, by lot) as
the Property Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for
the selection for redemption of portions (equal to such Liquidation Amount or an
integral multiple of such Liquidation Amount in excess thereof) of the
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of a denomination larger than
such Liquidation Amount. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the
Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Preferred Securities selected for partial
redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of
this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of the Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case
of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities which has been or
is to be redeemed.
(g) If at any time the Depositor is the Holder of any Preferred
Securities, then the Depositor shall have the right to deliver to the Property
Trustee all or such portion of its Preferred Securities as it elects and
receive, in exchange therefor, a Like Amount of Debentures. Such election (i)
shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time by the Depositor
delivering to the Property Trustee a written notice of such election specifying
the Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities with respect to which such
election is being made and the effective date on which such exchange shall
occur, which effective date shall be not less than ten Business Days after the
date of receipt by the Property Trustee of such election notice and (ii) shall
be conditioned upon the Depositor having delivered or caused to be delivered to
the Property Trustee or its designee the Preferred Securities that are the
subject of such election by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed
effective date of such exchange. After the exchange, such Preferred Securities
shall be canceled and shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights
of the Depositor with respect to such Preferred Securities shall cease.
In case of any exchange described in the immediately preceding paragraph of
this Section 402(g), the Trust shall, on the date of such exchange, exchange
Debentures having a principal amount equal to a proportional amount of the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Common Securities, based on the
ratio of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities exchanged
pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 402(g) divided
by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities outstanding
immediately
18
prior to such exchange, for such proportional amount of Common Securities held
by the Depositor (which contemporaneously shall be canceled and no longer be
deemed to be outstanding); provided, that the Depositor delivers or causes to be
delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the required amount of Common
Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed
effective date of such exchange.
In accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(b) of the
Indenture, Debentures received by the Depositor in exchange for Trust Securities
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 402(g) shall be redeemed and
extinguished by the Debenture Trustee and shall no longer be deemed Outstanding
(as defined in the Indenture).
Section 403. Subordination of the 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 402(f), pro rata among the Common Securities and the
Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities;
provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Event
of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if
applicable) on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other
payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of the
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 Preferred Securities for all Distribution periods
terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption
Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred
Securities then called for redemption, shall have been made or provided for, and
all funds immediately 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, the Preferred Securities
then due and payable.
(b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from a
Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of the Common Securities shall be deemed
to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under
this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect
to the Preferred Securities shall have been cured, waived or otherwise
eliminated. Until any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement with
respect to the Preferred Securities shall have been so cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities and not the Holder of the Common Securities,
and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities shall have the right to direct
the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.
Section 404. Payment Procedures. Payments of Distributions (including
------------------
Additional Amounts, if applicable) in respect of the Preferred Securities shall
be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Preferred Securities
are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing
Agency in immediately available funds, which will credit the relevant accounts
on the applicable Distribution Dates. Payments in respect of the Common
Securities shall be made in
19
such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the
Holder of the Common Securities.

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 forms required to be furnished to such
Securityholder or the information required to be provided on such forms. The
Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor with a copy of all such
returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Property
Trustee shall comply with United States federal withholding and backup
withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any
payments to the Securityholders under the Trust Securities.

Trustee, at the direction of an Administrative Trustee or the Depositor, shall

(other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United States or any
other taxing authority.
Section 407. Payments Under the Indenture. Any amount payable hereunder to

at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on
behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of
this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall
have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates or did not hold such
20
offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A
transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Securityholder, and
shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
Securityholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities
Certificate in such transferee's name pursuant to Sections 504, 511 and 514.

includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same
rights as the Property Trustee to deal with the Depositor or the Trust.
Section 503A. Global Preferred Security.
-------------------------
(a) Any Global Preferred Security issued under this Trust Agreement shall
be registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency and the Global
Preferred Securities Certificate representing such Global Preferred Security
shall be delivered to such custodian therefor, and such Global Preferred
Security shall constitute a single Preferred Security for all purposes of this
Trust Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no Global
Preferred Securities Certificate may be exchanged for Preferred Securities
Certificates registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary or its
nominee unless (i) the Depositary notifies the Administrative Trustees and the
Property Trustee in writing that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a
depositary for such Global Preferred Securities and the Depositor is unable to
locate
21
a qualified successor depositary, (ii) the Depositor executes and delivers to
the Administrative Trustees and Property Trustee a written order stating that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iii) there
shall have occurred and be continuing a Debenture Event of Default.
(c) If a Preferred Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or
in part for a beneficial interest in Preferred Securities represented by a
Global Preferred Securities Certificate, then either (i) such Global Preferred
Securities Certificate shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as
provided in this Article V or (ii) the Liquidation Amount thereof shall be
reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged or canceled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount of such other
Preferred Securities to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as
the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of
the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the
rules and procedures of the Depositary for such Global Preferred Security (the
"Applicable Procedures"), shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized
representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such
surrender or adjustment of a Global Preferred Securities Certificate by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative
Trustees shall execute and the Property Trustee shall, subject to Section 504(b)
and as otherwise provided in this Article V, authenticate and deliver any
Preferred Securities Certificate issuable in exchange for such Global Preferred
Securities Certificate (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. The Property Trustee shall not be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.
(d) Every Preferred Securities Certificate executed, authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
Global Preferred Securities Certificate or any portion thereof, whether pursuant
to this Article V or otherwise, shall be executed, authenticated and delivered
in the form of, and shall be, a Global Preferred Securities Certificate, unless
such Global Preferred Securities Certificate is registered in the name of a
Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Preferred Security or a
nominee thereof.
(e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as the registered owner of a
Global Preferred Security, shall be considered the Holder of the Preferred
Securities represented by such Global Preferred Securities Certificate for all
purposes under this Trust Agreement and the Preferred Securities, and owners of
beneficial interests in the Preferred Securities represented by such Global
Preferred Securities Certificate shall hold such interests pursuant to the
Applicable Procedures and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall not be
entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Preferred Securities
Certificates in definitive form and shall not be considered the Holders thereof
under this Trust Agreement. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in
the Preferred Securities represented by the Global Preferred Securities
Certificate shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be
effected only through, records maintained by the Clearing Agency or its nominee.
Neither the Property Trustee, the Securities Registrar nor the Depositor shall
have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.
(f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in the Preferred
Securities represented by a Global Preferred Securities Certificate shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency
22

------------------------------------------------------
Securities Certificates.
-----------------------
(a) The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 508, a register or registers for the purpose of
registering the Trust Securities Certificates and, subject to the provisions of
Section 503A, transfers and exchanges of the Preferred Securities Certificates
(herein referred to as the "Securities Register") in which the registrar
designated by the Depositor (the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration
of the Preferred Securities Certificates and the Common Securities Certificates
(subject to Section 510 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and
registration of transfers and exchanges of the Preferred Securities Certificates
as herein provided. The Property Trustee shall be the initial Securities
Registrar.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 503A, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities Certificate at the office
or agency maintained pursuant to Section 508, the Administrative Trustees or any
one of them shall execute in accordance with Section 502 and the Property
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of
authentication. The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the
transfer of any of the Preferred Securities that have been called for
redemption. At the option of a Holder, the Preferred Securities Certificates may
be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized
denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon
surrender of the Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office
or agency maintained pursuant to Section 508.
(c) Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, subject to the provisions of Section 503A,
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Property Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or
his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and
subsequently disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its
customary practice. The Trust shall not be required to (i) issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange any of the Preferred Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days before the date of mailing
of a notice of redemption of any of the Preferred Securities called for
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(ii) register the transfer of or exchange of any of the Preferred Securities so
selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
any such Preferred Securities being redeemed in part.
(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, subject to the provisions of
Section 503A, but the Securities Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
23
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Preferred
Securities Certificates.
(e) Preferred Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Trust Agreement. Any
transfer or purported transfer of any Preferred Security not made in accordance
with this Trust Agreement shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, null
and void. A Preferred Security that is not a Global Preferred Security may be
transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of
another Preferred Security that is not a Global Preferred Security as provided
in this Section 504. A beneficial interest in Preferred Securities represented
by a Global Preferred Securities Certificate may be exchanged for Preferred
Securities represented by a Preferred Securities Certificate that is not a
Global Preferred Securities Certificate only as provided in Section 503A.
Section 505. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities
-----------------------------------------------------
Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be
------------
surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall
receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Trust Securities Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar, the Property Trustee 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 protected purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of
them, on behalf of the Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, and
the Property Trustee shall authenticate if necessary, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a
new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In
connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this
Section 505, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 505 shall constitute conclusive
evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 506. Persons Deemed the Securityholders. The Trustees, the Paying
----------------------------------
Agent and the Securities Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any
Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register as
the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving
Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustees
nor the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
Section 507. Access to List of the Securityholders' Names and Addresses. At
----------------------------------------------------------
any time when the Property Trustee is not also acting as the Securities
Registrar, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Property Trustee (a) within five Business Days of March
15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 in each year, a list, in such form as
the Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Securityholders as of the most recent record date, and (b) promptly after
receipt by any Administrative Trustee or the Depositor of a request therefor
from the Property Trustee in order to enable the Property Trustee to discharge
its obligations under this Trust Agreement, in each case to the extent such
information is in the possession or control of the Administrative Trustees or
the
24
Depositor and is not identical to a previously supplied list or has not
otherwise been received by the Property Trustee in its capacity as Securities
Registrar. The rights of the Securityholders to communicate with other
Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under
the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights of the Trustee shall be as
provided in the Trust Indenture Act. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a
Trust Securities Certificate, and each owner shall be deemed to have agreed not
to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees
accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of
the source from which such information was derived.
Section 508. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Administrative Trustees
-------------------------------
shall maintain in a location or locations designated by the Administrative
Trustees, an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Preferred
Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the
Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees
initially designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Property Trustee, First
Union Trust Company, National Association, as the principal corporate trust
office for such purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written
notice to the Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location
of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.
Section 509. Appointment of the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall
-------------------------------
initially be the Property Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by the
Property Trustee must be acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the
Depositor. The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to the Securityholders from
the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have
the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose
of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in
their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its
obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. Any Person
acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon thirty
(30) days' written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee
and the Depositor. In the event that the Property Trustee shall no longer be the
Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be
revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor (which shall be a
bank or trust company) that is acceptable to the Property Trustee and the
Depositor to act as the Paying Agent. The Administrative Trustees shall cause
such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the
Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in
which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with
the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional
Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the
Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders entitled thereto
until such sums shall be paid to such Securityholders. The Paying Agent shall
return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and, upon removal of a Paying
Agent, such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the
Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 801, 803 and 806 shall apply to the
Property Trustee also in its role as the Paying Agent, for so long as the
Property Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any
other Paying Agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to
the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise.

Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record
ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any
attempted transfer of the Common Securities (other than a transfer in connection
with a merger or consolidation of the Depositor into another corporation
pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Indenture) shall be, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common
Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS
CERTIFICATE IS, AND THE COMMON SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE, NOT
TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 510 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT".
Section 511. The Trust Securities Certificates.
---------------------------------
(a) Upon the issuance of the Preferred Securities Certificates, the
Trustees shall recognize the record holders of the Preferred Securities
Certificates as Securityholders. The Preferred Securities Certificates shall be
issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Preferred Securities
Certificates which will be deposited with or on behalf of the Clearing Agency
and registered in the name of the Clearing Agency's nominee. Unless and until it
is exchangeable in whole or in part for the Preferred Securities in definitive
form, a Global Preferred Security may not be transferred except as a whole by
the Clearing Agency to a nominee of the Clearing Agency or by a nominee of the
Clearing Agency to the Clearing Agency or another nominee of the Clearing Agency
or by the Clearing Agency or any such nominee to a successor of such Clearing
Agency or a nominee of such successor.
(b) A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common
Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common
Securities Certificate.
Section 512. [Reserved]
--------
Section 513. Notices. To the extent that a notice or other communication to
-------
the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Preferred
Securities are represented by a Global Preferred Securities Certificate, the
Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be
given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to provide notice to
the owners of beneficial interests in Preferred Securities represented by the
Global Preferred Securities Certificate.
Section 514. Rights of the Securityholders.
-----------------------------
(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 209, and
the Securityholders shall not have any right or title therein other than the
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their
Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below.
The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights
specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities
shall have no preemptive or similar rights. When issued and delivered to Holders
of the Preferred Securities against payment of the purchase price therefor, the
Preferred
26
Securities shall be fully paid and, subject to the next following sentence,
nonassessable interests in the Trust. The Holders of the Preferred Securities,
in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit
organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
(b) For so long as any of the Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if,
upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of
not less than twenty-five percent (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 twenty-five percent (25%)
in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have
such right by a notice in writing to the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee;
and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest
on all of the Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that
the payment of principal and interest on such Debentures shall remain
subordinated to the extent provided in the Indenture.
(c) For so long as any of the Preferred Securities remain Outstanding,
upon a Debenture Event of Default arising from the failure to pay interest or
principal on the Debentures, the Holders of any of the Preferred Securities then
Outstanding shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to
directly institute proceedings for enforcement of payment to such Holders of
principal of or interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holders.

Section 601. Limitations on Voting Rights.
----------------------------
(a) Except as provided in this Section 601, in Sections 514, 810 and 1002
and in the Indenture and as otherwise set forth in the Guarantee or required by
law, no record Holder of Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in
any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the
Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set
forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be
construed so as to constitute the Securityholders from time to time as partners
or members of an association.
(b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, the Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or
executing any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to
such Debentures, (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under Article VII
of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration
that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv)
consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case,
obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of not less than a majority in
Liquidation Amount of all the Outstanding Preferred Securities; provided,
however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of
each holder of outstanding Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be
given by the Property Trustee without the
27
prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall
not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders
of the Outstanding Preferred Securities, except when authorized by a subsequent
vote of the Holders of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. The Property
Trustee shall notify each holder of the Outstanding Preferred Securities of any
notice of default received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the
Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the
Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust shall continue to be
classified as a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation
for United States federal income tax purposes on account of such action.
(c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the
Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect
in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the holders
of the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement
or otherwise or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust,
other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of
the Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class shall be entitled to vote on
such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. No amendment to this Trust
Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, the Trust would cease
to be classified as a grantor trust or would be classified as an association
taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.
Section 602. Notice of Meetings. Notice of all meetings of the Preferred
------------------
Securityholders, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be
given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 1008 to each Preferred
Securityholder of record, at his or her registered address, at least fifteen

adjourned without further notice.
Section 603. Meetings of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.
---------------------------------------------------
(a) No annual meeting of the Securityholders is required to be held. The
Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of the Securityholders to
vote on any matter in respect of which the Holders of the Preferred Securities
are entitled to vote upon the written request of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Outstanding Preferred Securities
(based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount) and the Administrative Trustees
or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of
the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matters as to which the
Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to vote.
(b) The Holders of the Preferred Securities of record of fifty percent
(50%) of the Outstanding Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at
any meeting of the Securityholders.
28
(c) If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the
Holders of the Preferred Securities of record present, in person or by proxy,
holding a majority of the Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount) held by the Holders of the Preferred Securities of record
present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the
action of the Securityholders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a different
number of affirmative votes.
Section 604. Voting Rights. The Securityholders shall be entitled to one
-------------
vote for each dollar value of Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust
Securities (with any fractional multiple thereof rounded up or down as the case
may be to the closest integral multiple) in respect of any matter as to which
such Securityholders are entitled to vote (and such dollar value shall be$25 per
Preferred Security until such time, if any, as the Liquidation Amount is changed
as provided herein).
Section 605. Proxies, Etc. At any meeting of the Securityholders, any
------------
Securityholder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no
proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file
with the Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the
Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the
time at which such vote shall be taken. Only Holders shall be entitled to vote.
When Trust Securities are held jointly by several persons, any one of them may
vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities,
but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by
proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote
to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities.
A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Securityholder shall be
deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and, the burden of
proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more
than three years after its date of execution.
Section 606. Securityholder Action by Written Consent. Any action which may
----------------------------------------
be taken by the Securityholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and
without prior notice if the Securityholders holding a majority of all of the
Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount)
entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as
shall be required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall
consent to the action in writing.
Section 607. 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 the Property Trustee may from time to time fix a
date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of the
Securityholders or the payment of 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 608. Acts of the Securityholders.
---------------------------
29
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made
or taken by the Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in
person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Securityholders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 801) conclusive in favor
of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section 608.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of
any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Trustee receiving the
same deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of the Preferred Securities shall be proved by the
Securities Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act of the Securityholder of any Trust Security shall bind every future
Securityholder of the same Trust Security and the Securityholder of every Trust
Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to
be done by the Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.
(e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled hereunder to
take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so
with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security
or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.
(f) A Securityholder may institute a legal proceeding directly against the
Depositor under the Guarantee to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without
first instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee (as defined
in the Guarantee), the Trust or any Person.
Section 609. Inspection of Records. Upon reasonable notice to the
---------------------
Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Trust shall
be open to inspection at the principal executive office of the Trustee (as

such Securityholder's interest as a Securityholder.

ARTICLE VIII
TRUSTEES
Section 801. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
-----------------------------------
(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided
by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust
Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust
Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it. No Administrative Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be liable
33
for its act or omissions hereunder except as a result of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Property Trustee's liability shall be
determined under the Trust Indenture Act. Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 801. To the extent that, at law or in
equity, the Delaware Trustee or an Administrative Trustee has duties (including
fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the
Securityholders, the Delaware Trustee or such Administrative Trustee shall not
be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such Trustee's good faith
reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust
Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the
Delaware Trustee or the Administrative Trustees otherwise existing at law or in
equity, are agreed by the Depositor, the Securityholders and the Trustees to
replace such other duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee and the
Administrative Trustees, as the case may be.
(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 shall look solely to the
revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees are not 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 801(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;
34
(iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any
money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor
and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds held by it, except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by
the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 301 and except to the extent
otherwise required by law; and
(v) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the
compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with their
respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property
Trustee be liable for the negligence, default or misconduct of the
Administrative Trustees or the Depositor.
Section 802. Certain Notices.
---------------
(a) Within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default actually known to a Responsible Officer (as defined in the Indenture) of
the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to
the extent provided in Section 1008, notice of such Event of Default to the
Securityholders, the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. For purposes of this Section
802, the term "Event of Default" means any event that is, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.
(b) The Administrative Trustees shall transmit to the Securityholders in
the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008 notice of the Depositor's
election to begin or further extend an Extended Interest Period on the
Debentures (unless such election shall have been revoked), and of any election
by the Depositor to accelerate the Maturity Date of the Debentures within the
time specified for transmitting such notice to the holders of the Debentures
pursuant to the Indenture as originally executed.
Section 803. Certain Rights of the Property Trustee. Subject to the
--------------------------------------
provisions of Section 801:
(a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel,
certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action or
(ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, the Property
Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with other provisions contained
herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any
provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the
Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust
Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor
requesting written instructions of the Depositor as to the
35
course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in
writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor; provided, however,
that if the Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Depositor
within ten (10) Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such
reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent
practicable shall not be less than two (2) Business Days), it may, but shall be
under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with
this Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Securityholders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability
except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;
(c) any direction or act of the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees
contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate;
(d) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the Property
Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be established before undertaking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other
evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on
its part, request and conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate which,
upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor or
the Administrative Trustees;
(e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording,
filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or
continuation statement or, except as provided in Section 405, any filing under
tax or securities laws) or any re-recording, 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 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, such counsel may be
counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its
employees; 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, order
or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to this Trust Agreement,
unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order or
direction; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Property Trustee
of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been
cured or waived) to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Trust Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs;
(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
36
document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a
majority in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities, but the
Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit;
(i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or
attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own
negligence or recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or attorney
appointed by it hereunder;
(j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property
Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to
enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Property
Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Trust Securities
which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same proportion in
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the
Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such
remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or
taking such other action until such instructions are received and (iii) shall be
protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; and
(k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is
discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement. No provision of 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 804. 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 805. 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 the Trust Securities and, subject to Sections 808 and 813
and except as provided in the definition of the term "Outstanding" in Article I,
may otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it would have if it were
not a Trustee or such other agent.
Section 806. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees. The Depositor agrees:
-----------------------------
(a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time reasonable compensation for
all services rendered by them hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited
by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust, in the case of the Property Trustee as set forth in a written agreement
between the Depositor and the Property Trustee);
37
(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 such Trustee's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative Trustees or the
Delaware Trustee, any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its, his or her gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct); and
(c) to indemnify each of the Trustees or any predecessor Trustee for, and
to hold the Trustees harmless against, any loss, damage, claims, liability,
penalty or expense incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Trust Agreement, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to such Trustee's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (or, in the case of the

of any amount due pursuant to this Section 806.

------------------------------------------------------------
(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 eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 807,
the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of 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 807, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article VIII. The Property Trustee and the
Delaware Trustee may, but need not be, the same Person.
(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

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.
38
Section 808. Conflicting Interests. If the Property Trustee has or shall
---------------------
acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act,
the Property Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the
extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the
Trust Indenture Act and this Trust Agreement.
Section 809. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.
--------------------------------
(a) Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Depositor shall have power
to appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor
shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery
and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust
Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the
instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity
aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 809. If the Depositor does not
join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so
to do, or in case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. Any
co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 809 shall
either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of
the United States or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in
the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind
such entity.
(b) Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any
co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such
co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and
all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged, and delivered
by the Depositor.
(c) Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms,
namely:
(i) The Trust Securities shall be executed and delivered and all
rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody
of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
deposited or pledged with, the Trustees specified hereunder, shall be
exercised, solely by such Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate
trustee.
(ii) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or
imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by
such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such
co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the
instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights,
39
powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such
co-trustee or separate trustee.
(iii) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing
executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept
the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed
under this Section 809, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have the power to
accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate
trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request
of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee
in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and
agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A
successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may
be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 809.
(iv) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any
other trustee hereunder.
(v) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act
of a co-trustee or separate trustee.
(vi) Any Act of the Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall
be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate
trustee.
Section 810. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
-------------------------------------------------
(a) No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee") and
no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 811.
(b) Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee
may resign at any time with respect to the Trust Securities by giving written
notice thereof to the Securityholders. If the instrument of acceptance by the
successor Trustee required by Section 811 shall not have been delivered to the
Relevant Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Depositor,
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities.
(c) Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by an Act of the Common
Securityholder. If a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may
be removed at such time by an Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant
Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An
Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Common Securityholder at any time.
40
(d) If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting
as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for any
cause, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Common Securityholder, by an Act of the Common Securityholder
delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or
Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and the successor
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 811. If the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
as the case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securityholders, by an Act of the
Securityholders of not less than a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant
Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees with
respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and such successor Trustee shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 811. If an Administrative
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as an
Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by an Act of the Common
Securityholder delivered to an Administrative Trustee, shall promptly appoint a
successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust, and such successor Administrative Trustee or
Administrative Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section
811. If no successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall
have been so appointed by the Common Securityholder or the Preferred
Securityholders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 811,
any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of Trust Securities for six
consecutive months on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly
situated may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities.
(e) The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all the
Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 1008 and shall give notice to
the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant
Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property
Trustee.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is
a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Depositor, incompetent
or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity
may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of the remaining Administrative Trustees
if there are at least two of them or (b) otherwise by the Depositor (with the
successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement
for Administrative Trustees set forth in Section 807)
Section 811. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
--------------------------------------
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee
with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, the retiring Relevant
Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities
shall execute and deliver an instrument hereto wherein each successor Relevant
Trustee shall accept such appointment (which instrument shall contain
41
such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to,
and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities
and the Trust); and upon the execution and delivery of such instrument, each
such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust;
but, on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring
Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Relevant Trustee all the Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by
such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities
and the Trust.
(b) Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER
Section 901. Dissolution upon Expiration Date. Unless earlier dissolved,
--------------------------------
the Trust shall automatically dissolve on March 31, 2032 (the "Expiration
Date").
Section 902. 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 Depositor;
(b) delivery of written direction to the Property Trustee by the Depositor
at any time (which direction is wholly optional and within the discretion of the
Depositor, subject to Depositor having received prior approval of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System if so required under applicable
guidelines, policies or regulations thereof) to dissolve the Trust and
distribute the Debentures to the Securityholders in exchange for the Trust
Securities in accordance with Section 904;
(c) the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection with
the redemption of all of the Debentures (whether upon a Debenture Redemption
Date or the maturity of the Debentures); and
(d) an order for dissolution of the Trust shall have been entered by a
court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 903. Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities
-----------
of the Trustees and the Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon
the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property
Trustee to the Securityholders upon the winding-up of the Trust pursuant to
Section 904, or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to
Section 402, of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final
payment of the Trust Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the
Trust; (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative
Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with
respect to the Trust or the Securityholders; and (d) the filing of a Certificate
of Cancellation by an Administrative Trustee under the Delaware Business Trust
Act.
Section 904. Liquidation.
-----------
(a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of
Section 902 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be wound up by
the Trustees as expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be possible by
distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of
44
the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a Like Amount of
Debentures, subject to Section 904(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by
the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than
thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Liquidation Date to each
Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities
Register. All notices of liquidation shall:
(i) state the Liquidation Date;
(ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust
Securities shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust
Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange shall be deemed to
represent a Like Amount of Debentures; and
(iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which
the Holders may exchange the Trust Securities Certificates for the
Debentures, or, if Section 904(d) applies, receive a Liquidation
Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall
deem appropriate.
(b) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, in order to effect the
distribution of the Debentures to the Securityholders, the Property Trustee
shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more
than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as
exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall
establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the
distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities
Certificates.
(c) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, after the Liquidation
Date, (i) the Trust Securities shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding; (ii)
certificates representing a Like Amount of the Debentures shall be issued to the
Holders of Trust Securities Certificates upon surrender of such certificates to
the Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange; (iii) the Depositor
shall use its reasonable efforts to have the Debentures listed on the American
Stock Exchange or on such other securities exchange or other organization as the
Preferred Securities are then listed or traded; (iv) any Trust Securities
Certificates not so surrendered for exchange shall 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 shall be made to Holders of the Trust Securities Certificates with
respect to such Debentures); and (v) all rights of the Securityholders holding
the Trust Securities shall cease, except the right of such Securityholders to
receive the Debentures upon surrender of the Trust Securities Certificates.
(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 904, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the
manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be
wound-up by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee
determines. In such event, the Securityholders shall be entitled to receive out
of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to the Securityholders,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by
45
applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security
plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such
amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such winding-up, the
Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has
insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable
by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based
upon Liquidation Amounts, subject to Section 407). The Holder of the Common
Securities shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Distributions pro rata
(determined as aforesaid) with the Holders of the Preferred Securities, except
that, if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities.
Section 905. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of the
-------------------------------------------------------------
Trust. The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
-----
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person, except pursuant
to this Section 905. At the request of the Depositor, with the consent of the
Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, the Trust may merge
with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by or convey, transfer or
lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust
organized as such under the laws of any State; provided, that: (a) such
successor entity either (i) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the
Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities or (ii) substitutes for the
Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the
Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") so long as the Successor
Securities rank the same as the Preferred Securities rank in priority with
respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and
otherwise; (b) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor
entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties as the Property
Trustee as the holder of the Debentures; (c) the Successor Securities are listed
or traded, or any Successor Securities shall be listed or traded upon
notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other
organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any; (d) such
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease
does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders
of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
respect; (e) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that
of the Trust; (f) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect and (ii)
following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor entity shall be required
to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act; and (g)
the Depositor 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, the Debentures,
this Trust Agreement and the Expense Agreement. For purposes of this Section
905, any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other
disposition as a result of which the Trust is not the surviving Person, and the
same Person is not both (i) the primary obligor in respect of the Debentures and
(ii) the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be deemed to constitute a
replacement of the Trust by a successor entity; provided further that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
46
that upon the consummation of such a consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance,
transfer or other disposition, the parent company (if any) of the Trust, or its
successor, is a bank holding company or financial holding company or comparably
regulated financial institution, such parent company shall guarantee the
obligations of the Trust (and any successor thereto) under the Preferred
Securities (including any Successor Securities) at least to the extent provided
by the Guarantee, the Debentures, the Trust Agreement and the Expense Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of
the Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or
replacement would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified as
other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 1001. Limitation of Rights of the Securityholders. The death or
-------------------------------------------
incapacity of any Person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in the

with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, that
shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement,
(iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to

Investment Company Act or (iv) to reduce or increase the Liquidation Amount per
Trust Security and simultaneously to correspondingly increase or decrease the

on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred
Securities are then included, quoted or listed (including, if applicable, the
American Stock Exchange); provided, however, that in the case of clause (ii),
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Securityholder, and provided further, that in the case of clause (iv) the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities Outstanding upon completion
of any such reduction must be the same as the aggregate Liquidation Amount of
the Trust Securities outstanding immediately prior to such reduction or
increase, and any amendments of this Trust

Agreement shall become effective when notice thereof is given to the
Securityholders (or, in the case of an amendment pursuant to clause (iv), as of

Act.

Agreement, without the consent of each affected Securityholder (such consent
being obtained in accordance with Section 603 or 606 hereof), this Trust

Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of
any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a
specified date or (ii) restrict the right of a Securityholder to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date; notwithstanding
any other provision herein, without the unanimous consent of the Securityholders
(such consent being obtained in accordance with Section 603 or 606 hereof), this
paragraph (c) of this Section 1002 may not be amended.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no
Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement

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.

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

required to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement which affects its
