desires to change certain provisions of the Indenture effective only with
respect to any one or more series of Securities issued subsequent to the date of
this Second Supplemental Indenture which are intended to meet the criteria of 12
C.F.R. ss.250.166 and qualify for treatment as tier 2 capital under the rules
and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     All things necessary to make Securities issued under the Indenture, as
heretofore and hereby supplemented, the valid obligation of the Company, and to
make the Indenture, as heretofore and hereby supplemented, a valid agreement of
the Company, in accordance with their and its terms, have been done as of the
date hereof.

     In order to comply with the requirements of the Indenture, the Company
covenants and agrees with the Trustee for the equal and proportionate benefit of
the holders of Securities issued on or after the date hereof as follows:
