                  A COPY OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE
                              TRUSTEE NOW IN EFFECT

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                             ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
                                       OF
                  BANK ONE TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

FIRST. The title of this Association shall be BANK ONE TRUST COMPANY, National
Association.

SECOND. The main office of the Association shall be in the City of Columbus,
County of Franklin, State of Ohio.

The business of the Association will be limited to the fiduciary powers and the
support of activities incidental to the exercise of those powers. The
Association will not expand or alter its business beyond that stated in this
article without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

THIRD. The Board of Directors of this Association shall consist of not less than
five nor more than twenty-five persons, the exact number to be fixed and
determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full Board of
Directors or by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or
special meeting thereof. Each director shall own common or preferred stock of
the Association, or of a holding company owning the Association, with an
aggregate par, fair market or equity value of not less than $1,000, as of either
(i) the date of purchase, (ii) the date the person became a director, or (iii)
the date of that person's most recent election to the Board of Directors,
whichever is more recent. Any combination of common or preferred stock of the
Association or holding company may be used.

Any vacancy in the Board of Directors may be filled by action of a majority of
the remaining directors between meetings of shareholders. The Board of Directors
may not increase the number of directors between meetings of shareholders to a
number which: (1) exceeds by more than two the number of directors last elected
by shareholders where the number was 15 or less; or (2) exceeds by more than
four the number of directors last elected by shareholders where the number was
16 or more, but in no event shall the number of directors exceed 25.

Terms of directors, including directors selected to fill vacancies, shall expire
at the next regular meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected,
unless the directors resign or are removed from office.

Despite the expiration of a director's term, the director shall continue to
serve until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until there is a
decrease in the number of directors and his or her position is eliminated.



Honorary or advisory members of the Board of Directors, without voting power or
power of final decision in matters concerning the business of the Association,
may be appointed by resolution of a majority of the full Board of Directors, or
by resolution of shareholders at any annual or special meeting. Honorary or
advisory directors shall not be counted to determine the number of directors of
the Association or the presence of a quorum in connection with any board action,
and shall not be required to own qualifying shares.

FOURTH. There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect directors
and transact whatever other business may be brought before the meeting. It shall
be held at the main office or any other convenient place the Board of Directors
may designate, on the day of each year specified therefor in the Bylaws or, if
that day falls on a legal holiday in the state in which the Association is
located, on the next following banking day. If no election is held on the day
fixed or in the event of a legal holiday on the following banking day, an
election may be held on any subsequent day within 60 days of the day fixed, to
be designated by the Board of Directors or, if the directors fail to fix the
day, by shareholders representing two-thirds of the shares issued and
outstanding. In all cases at least 10 days advance notice of the meeting shall
be given to the shareholders by first class mail.

In all elections of directors, the number of votes each common shareholder may
cast will be determined by multiplying the number of shares such shareholder
owns by the number of directors to be elected. Those votes may be cumulated and
cast for a single candidate or may be distributed among two or more candidates
in the manner selected by the shareholder. On all other questions, each common
shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such
shareholder. If the issuance of preferred stock with voting rights has been
authorized by a vote of shareholders owning a majority of the common stock of
the association, preferred shareholders will have cumulative voting rights and
will be included within the same class as common shareholders, for purposes of
elections of directors.

A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board of
Directors, its chairperson, or to the Association, which resignation shall be
effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later
effective date.

A director may be removed by shareholders at a meeting called to remove him or
her, when notice of the meeting stating that the purpose or one of the purposes
is to remove him or her is provided, if there is a failure to fulfill one of the
affirmative requirements for qualification, or for cause, provided, however,
that a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect
him or her under cumulative voting is voted against his or her removal.

FIFTH. The authorized amount of capital stock of this Association shall be
eighty thousand shares of common stock of the par value of ten dollars ($10.00)
each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from time to time,
according to the provisions of the laws of the United States.

No holder of shares of the capital stock of any class of the Association shall
have any preemptive or preferential right of subscription to any shares of any
class of stock of the Association, whether now or hereafter authorized, or to
any obligations convertible into stock of the Association, issued or sold, nor
any right of subscription to any thereof other than such, if any, as the Board
of Directors, in its discretion, may from time to time determine and at such
price as the Board of Directors may from time to time fix.



Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law,
(1) all matters requiring shareholder action, including amendments to the
Articles of Association, must be approved by shareholders owning a majority
voting interest in the outstanding voting stock, and (2) each shareholder shall
be entitled to one vote per share.

Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law,
all shares of voting stock shall be voted together as a class on any matters
requiring shareholder approval. If a proposed amendment would affect two or more
classes or series in the same or a substantially similar way, all the classes or
series so affected must vote together as a single voting group on the proposed
amendment.

Shares of the same class or series may be issued as a dividend on a pro rata
basis and without consideration. Shares of another class or series may be issued
as share dividends in respect of a class or series of stock if approved by a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the class or series to be issued
unless there are no outstanding shares of the class or series to be issued.
Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, the record date for
determining shareholders entitled to a share dividend shall be the date the
Board of Directors authorizes the share dividend.

Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws, the record date for determining
shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting is the close of
business on the day before the first notice is mailed or otherwise sent to the
shareholders, provided that in no event may a record date be more than 70 days
before the meeting.

If a shareholder is entitled to fractional shares pursuant to preemptive rights,
a stock dividend, consolidation or merger, reverse stock split or otherwise, the
Association may: (a) issue fractional shares or; (b) in lieu of the issuance of
fractional shares, issue script or warrants entitling the holder to receive a
full share upon surrendering enough script or warrants to equal a full share;
(c) if there is an established and active market in the Association's stock,
make reasonable arrangements to provide the shareholder with an opportunity to
realize a fair price through sale of the fraction, or purchase of the additional
fraction required for a full share; (d) remit the cash equivalent of the
fraction to the shareholder; or (e) sell full shares representing all the
fractions at public auction or to the highest bidder after having solicited and
received sealed bids from at least three licensed stock brokers, and distribute
the proceeds pro rata to shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to the
fractional shares. The holder of a fractional share is entitled to exercise the
rights for shareholder, including the right to vote, to receive dividends, and
to participate in the assets of the Association upon liquidation, in proportion
to the fractional interest. The holder of script or warrants is not entitled to
any of these rights unless the script or warrants explicitly provide for such
rights. The script or warrants may be subject to such additional conditions as:
(1) that the script or warrants will become void if not exchanged for full
shares before a specified date; and (2) that the shares for which the script or
warrants are exchangeable may be sold at the option of the Association and the
proceeds paid to scriptholders.

The Association, at any time and from time to time, may authorize and issue debt
obligations, whether or not subordinated, without the approval of the
shareholders. Obligations classified as debt, whether or not subordinated, which
may be issued by the Association without the approval of shareholders, do not
carry voting rights on any issue, including an increase or decrease in the
aggregate number of the securities, or the exchange or reclassification of all
or part of securities into securities of another class or series.



SIXTH. The Board of Directors shall appoint one of its members president of this
Association, and one of its members chairperson of the board and shall have the
power to appoint one or more vice presidents, a secretary who shall keep minutes
of the directors' and shareholders' meetings and be responsible for
authenticating the records of the Association, and such other officers and
employees as may be required to transact the business of this Association. A
duly appointed officer may appoint one or more officers or assistant officers if
authorized by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Bylaws.

The Board of Directors shall have the power to:

(1)  Define the duties of the officers, employees, and agents of the
     Association.

(2)  Delegate the performance of its duties, but not the responsibility for its
     duties, to the officers, employees, and agents of the Association.

(3)  Fix the compensation and enter into employment contracts with its officers
     and employees upon reasonable terms and conditions consistent with
     applicable law.

(4)  Dismiss officers and employees.

(5)  Require bonds from officers and employees and to fix the penalty thereof.

(6)  Ratify written policies authorized by the Association's management or
     committees of the board.

(7)  Regulate the manner in which any increase or decrease of the capital of the
     Association shall be made, provided that nothing herein shall restrict the
     power of shareholders to increase or decrease the capital of the
     association in accordance with law, and nothing shall raise or lower from
     two-thirds the percentage for shareholder approval to increase or reduce
     the capital.

(8)  Manage and administer the business and affairs of the Association.

(9)  Adopt initial Bylaws, not inconsistent with law or the Articles of
     Association, for managing the business and regulating the affairs of the
     Association.

(10) Amend or repeal Bylaws, except to the extent that the Articles of
     Association reserve this power in whole or in part to shareholders.

(11) Make contracts.

(12) Generally perform all acts that are legal for a Board of Directors to
     perform.

SEVENTH. The Board of Directors shall have the power to change the location of
the main office of this Association to any other place within the limits of the
City of Columbus, State of Ohio, without the approval of the shareholders; and
shall have the power to change the location of the main office of this
Association to any other place outside the limits of the City of Columbus, State
of Ohio, but not more than thirty miles beyond such limits, with the affirmative
vote of shareholders owning two-thirds of the stock of the Association, subject
to receipt of a certificate of approval from the Comptroller of the Currency.
The Board of Directors shall have the power to establish or change the location
of any branch or branches of the Association to any other location permitted
under applicable law without the approval of the shareholders,



subject to approval by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Board
of Directors shall have the power to establish or change the location of any
nonbranch office or facility of the Association without the approval of the
shareholders.

EIGHTH. The corporate existence of this Association shall continue until
termination according to the laws of the United States.

NINTH. The Board of Directors of this Association, or any shareholders owning,
in the aggregate, not less than 20 percent of the stock of this Association, may
call a special meeting of shareholders at any time. Unless otherwise provided by
the Bylaws or the laws of the United States, or waived by shareholders, a notice
of the time, place, and purpose of every annual and special meeting of the
shareholders shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at
least 10, and no more than 60, days prior to the date of the meeting to each
shareholder of record at his/her address as shown upon the books of this
Association. Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws, any action requiring
approval of shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special
meeting.

TENTH. The Association shall provide indemnification as set forth below:

Every person who is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Association or
of any other corporation which he served as a Director, officer or employee at
the request of the Association as part of his regularly assigned duties may be
indemnified by the Association in accordance with the provisions of this Article
against all liability (including, without limitation, judgments, fines,
penalties, and settlements) and all reasonable expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and investigative expenses) that may be incurred or
paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal or administrative (all referred to hereafter in this Article as
"Claims") or in connection with any appeal relating thereto in which he may
become involved as a party or otherwise or with which he may be threatened by
reason of his being or having been a Director, officer or employee of the
Association or such other corporation, or by reason of any action taken or
omitted by him in his capacity as such Director, officer or employee, whether or
not he continues to be such at the time such liability or expenses are incurred;
provided that nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to permit
indemnification of any such person who is adjudged guilty of, or liable for,
willful misconduct, gross neglect of duty or criminal acts, unless, at the time
such indemnification is sought, such indemnification in such instance is
permissible under applicable law and regulations, including published rulings of
the Comptroller of the Currency or other appropriate supervisory or regulatory
authority; and provided further that there shall be no indemnification of
Directors, officers, or employees against expenses, penalties, or other payments
incurred in an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate
regulatory agency which proceeding or action results in a final order assessing
civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or
individuals in the form of payments to the Association.

Every person who may be indemnified under the provisions of this Article and who
has been wholly successful on the merits with respect to any Claim shall be
entitled to indemnification as of right. Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, any indemnification under this Article shall be at the sole discretion
of the Board of Directors and shall be made only if the Board of Directors or
the Executive Committee acting by a quorum consisting of Directors who are not
parties to such Claim shall find or if independent legal counsel (who may be the
regular counsel of the Association) selected by the Board of Directors or
Executive Committee whether or not a disinterested quorum exists shall render
their opinion that in view of all of the circumstances



then surrounding the Claim, such indemnification is equitable and in the best
interests of the Association. Among the circumstances to be taken into
consideration in arriving at such a finding or opinion is the existence or
non-existence of a contract of insurance or indemnity under which the
Association would be wholly or partially reimbursed for such indemnification,
but the existence or non-existence of such insurance is not the sole
circumstance to be considered nor shall it be wholly determinative of whether
such indemnification shall be made. In addition to such finding or opinion, no
indemnification under this Article shall be made unless the Board of Directors
or the Executive Committee acting by a quorum consisting of Directors who are
not parties to such Claim shall find or if independent legal counsel (who may be
the regular counsel of the Association) selected by the Board of Directors or
Executive Committee whether or not a disinterested quorum exists shall render
their opinion that the Directors, officer or employee acted in good faith in
what he reasonably believed to be the best interests of the Association or such
other corporation and further in the case of any criminal action or proceeding,
that the Director, officer or employee reasonably believed his conduct to be
lawful. Determination of any Claim by judgment adverse to a Director, officer or
employee by settlement with or without Court approval or conviction upon a plea
of guilty or of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption
that a Director, officer or employee failed to meet the standards of conduct set
forth in this Article. Expenses incurred with respect to any Claim may be
advanced by the Association prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt
of an undertaking satisfactory to the Association by or on behalf of the
recipient to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is
entitled to indemnification under this Article.

The rights of indemnification provided in this Article shall be in addition to
any rights to which any Director, officer or employee may otherwise be entitled
by contract or as a matter of law. Every person who shall act as a Director,
officer or employee of this Association shall be conclusively presumed to be
doing so in reliance upon the right of indemnification provided for in this
Article.

ELEVENTH. These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or special
meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the stock of this Association, unless the vote of the holders of a greater
amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders
of such greater amount. The Association's Board of Directors may propose one or
more amendments to the Articles of Association for submission to the
shareholders.

         SECTION 1. Authority. The Board of Directors shall have the power to

exercised by the Board of Directors.

         SECTION 2. Number. The Board of Directors shall at all times consist of
not less than five nor more than twenty-five individuals. The exact number
within such minimum and maximum limits shall be fixed and determined from time
to time by resolution of a majority of the full Board of Directors or by
resolution of the shareholders at any meeting thereof; provided, however, that
the Board of Directors may not increase the number of directors to a number
which: (1) exceeds by more than two the number of directors last elected by
shareholders where such number was fifteen or less; or (ii) exceeds by more than
four the number of directors last elected by shareholders where such number was
sixteen or more, but in no event shall the number of directors exceed

         SECTION 3. Term of Office. Each director shall hold office from the
date of his election or appointment until the next annual shareholder meeting.
Any director ceasing to be the owner of the amount of stock required by law or

director.

         SECTION 4. Compensation. The Board of Directors may provide that a
reasonable fee be paid to any of its members or to the members of any duly
authorized committee for services rendered. No such payment shall preclude any
director from serving the Bank in any other capacity and receiving compensation

shall be held on such dates, times and locations as determined by the Chairman
of the Board and communicated in writing to the directors.

to each director at the director's business or residence in writing by hand
delivery, first-class or overnight mail or courier service, telegram or

such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when deposited in the United
States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid, at least two (2) days
before such meeting. If by telegram, overnight mail or courier service, such
notice shall be

deemed adequately delivered when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph
company or the notice is delivered to the overnight mail or courier service
company at least twenty-four (24) hours before such meeting. If by facsimile
transmission, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when the notice
is transmitted at least twelve (12) hours before such meeting. Such notice need
not state the purposes of the meeting. Any or all directors may waive notice of
any meeting, either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a director at a
meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the
director attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the
meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

         SECTION 7. Quorum; Majority Vote. A quorum of directors shall be
required to transact business at any regular or special meeting of the Board of
Directors. A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum. Each director

any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is
present shall be required to approve any matter or proposal at any such meeting.

         SECTION 8. Vacancies. When any vacancy occurs in the Board of
Directors, a majority of the remaining members of the Board, according to the
laws of the United States, may appoint a director to fill such vacancy at any
regular meeting of the Board of Directors, or at a special meeting called for
that purpose at which a quorum is present, or if the directors remaining in
office constitute fewer than a quorum of the Board of Directors, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office, or by
shareholders at a special meeting called for that purpose. At any such
shareholder meeting, each shareholder entitled to vote shall have the right to
multiply the number of votes he or she is entitled to cast by the number of
vacancies being filled and cast the product for a single candidate or distribute
the product among two or more candidates. A vacancy that will occur at a
specific later date (by reason of a resignation effective at a later date) may
be filled before the vacancy occurs but the new director may not take office
until the vacancy occurs.

         SECTION 9. Presiding Officer. The Chairman of the Board shall preside
at all meetings of the Board of Directors at which he is present. In the absence
of the Chairman of the Board, the President shall perform the duties of the
Chairman of the Board and shall preside at the meetings of the Board of
Directors. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board and the President, the
Vice Chairman of the Board (or in the event there be more than one Vice Chairman
of the Board, the Vice Chairmen of the Board in the order designated, or in the
absence of any designation, then in the order of their election) shall perform
their duties and shall preside at the meetings of the Board of Directors.

         SECTION 10. Minutes of Meeting. The Secretary to the Board of Directors
shall take minutes at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors.

may designate a secretary pro tem to take minutes at the meeting. The Secretary
or secretary pro tem shall record the actions and proceedings at each regular or
special meeting of the Board of Directors as minutes of the meeting and shall
maintain such minutes in a minute book of proceedings of such meetings of the
Board of Directors. Minutes of each such meeting shall be signed by the
presiding officer and secretary of each meeting.

         SECTION 11. Participation in Meetings by Telephone Unless otherwise
restricted by law or the Articles of Association, members of the Board of
Directors, or of any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the
Board of Directors or committee by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment which allows each person participating in the meeting
to hear each other. Participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in
person at such meeting.

         SECTION 12. Consent of Directors in Lieu of Meeting. Unless otherwise
restricted by law or the Articles of Association, any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any
committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or
writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

         SECTION 13. Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the entire Board, designate one or more committees, each
committee to consist of two or more of the Directors of the Bank.



The Board of Directors may designate one or more Directors as alternate members
of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any
meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the
resolution, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in
the management of the business and affairs of the Bank, and may authorize the
seal of the Bank to be affixed to all papers which may require it; provided,
however, that in the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee
or committees, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not
disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may
unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the
meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Such committee
or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to
time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. As used in these By-Laws,
"entire Board" means the total number of Directors the Bank would have if there
were no vacancies.

         There may be an Executive Committee composed and created as the Board
of Directors may designate by resolution passed by a majority of the entire
Board. During intervals between the regular meetings of the Board of Directors,
the Executive Committee, to the extent permitted by law, the Articles of
Association of the Bank and the By-Laws, shall have and may exercise the powers
of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Bank.

         Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, a majority of the
members of any committee appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to this
Section shall constitute a quorum at any meeting thereof and the act of a
majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall
be the act of such committee. Any such committee shall, subject to any rules
prescribed by the Board of Directors, prescribe its own rules for calling,
giving notice of and holding meetings and its method of procedure at such
meetings and shall keep a written record of all action taken by it. Each
committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the
Board of Directors when required.
