[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
Distributions on each Capital Security will be payable at a fixed rate per
annum of 10.875% (the "Coupon Rate") of the liquidation amount of $1,000 per
Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures
to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than one
semi-annual period will bear interest thereon compounded semi-annually at the
Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). Pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Liquidated Damages Agreement, in certain
limited circumstances the Debenture Issuer will be required to pay Liquidated
Damages (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Liquidated
Damages Agreement) with respect to the Debentures. The term "Distributions," as
used herein, includes such cash distributions and any and all such interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is
payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures
held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds
legally available therefor.
Distributions on the Capital Securities will be cumulative, will accumulate
from the most recent date to which Distributions have been paid or, if no
Distributions have been paid, from September 22, 2000 and will be payable
semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October of each year, commencing April
1, 2001 (each, a "Distribution Date"), except as otherwise described below.
Distributions will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the
Indenture, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer
payments of interest by extending the interest payment period at any time and
from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 10 consecutive
semi-annual calendar periods, including the first such semi-annual period during
such extension period (each an "Extension Period"), PROVIDED THAT no Extension
Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date for the
Debentures or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. As a
consequence of such deferral, Distributions (other than Liquidated Damages, if
any) will also be deferred. Notwithstanding such deferral, semi-annual
Distributions will continue to accumulate with interest thereon (to the extent
permitted by applicable law, but not at a rate exceeding the rate of interest
then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate compounded semi-annually
during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any Extension
Period, the Debenture Issuer may further defer payments of interest by further
extending such Extension Period; PROVIDED THAT such Extension Period, together
with all such previous and further extensions within such Extension Period, may
not (i) exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods, including the first
semi-annual period during such Extension Period, (ii) end on a date other than
an Interest Payment Date for the Debentures or (iii) extend beyond the Maturity
Date of the Debentures. Payments of accumulated Distributions will be payable to
Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record date
immediately preceding the end of the Extension Period. Upon the termination of
any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, the Debenture
Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements.
6
Subject to receipt by the Sponsor of any and all required regulatory
approvals and to certain other conditions set forth in the Declaration and the
Indenture, the Property Trustee may, at the direction of the Sponsor, at any
time dissolve the Trust and after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of
the Trust as provided by applicable law, cause the Debentures to be distributed
to the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of the Trust or, simultaneously
with any redemption of the Debentures, cause a Like Amount of the Securities to
be redeemed by the Trust.
The Capital Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the Declaration.
