in parts of other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). The SEC allows us to disclose important information by referring to
it in that manner. Please refer to such information.
"Motorola" (which may be referred to as "we", "us" or "our") means Motorola,
Inc. or Motorola, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as the context requires. "Motorola"
is a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
General
Motorola is a global leader in providing integrated communications solutions
and embedded electronic solutions. These include:
. Software-enhanced wireless telephone, two-way radio, messaging and
satellite communications products and systems, as well as networking and
Internet-access products, for consumers, network operators, and commercial,
government and industrial customers.
. Embedded semiconductor solutions for customers in the consumer, networking
and computing, transportation, and wireless communications markets.
. Embedded electronic systems for automotive, communications, imaging,
manufacturing systems, computer and consumer markets.
Motorola is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as
the successor to an Illinois corporation organized in 1928. Motorola's principal
executive offices are located at 1303 East Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, Illinois
60196 (telephone number: 847-576-5000).
Business Segments
CELLULAR PRODUCTS
The Cellular Subscriber Sector ("CSS") primarily designs, manufactures, sells
and services subscriber radio-telephone equipment for cellular, personal and
satellite communications networks. In addition, CSS resells cellular line
service in the United States and France. CSS's products include cellular and
satellite telephones and related accessories. Products are marketed worldwide
through carriers, distributors, dealers, retailers, and, in certain markets,
through a direct sales force or licensees.
The Cellular Infrastructure Group ("CIG") primarily designs, manufactures,
sells, installs, and services wireless infrastructure equipment. CIG's products
include electronic exchanges (i.e., telephone switches), base site controllers
and radio base stations for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Personal
Communication Systems (PCS), Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM), wireless local loop and analog technologies.
Products are marketed worldwide through a direct sales force or licensees.
The Network Management Group holds and manages investments in wireless
operating systems in a number of international jurisdictions and in gateway
companies for the Iridium(R) satellite communications network.
Radio frequencies are required to provide cellular services. The allocation of
frequencies is regulated in the United States and other countries throughout the
world and limited spectrum space is allocated to wireless services. The growth
of the wireless and personal communications industry may be affected if adequate
frequencies are not allocated or, alternatively, if new technologies are not
developed to better utilize the frequencies currently allocated for such use.
Such occurrences might have an effect on the segment's results.
There are a few customers that, collectively, the loss of, or a significant
reduction in purchases by, could have a material adverse effect on the segment's
results.
CSS carries reasonable product inventories in distribution centers to meet
customer delivery requirements. As a general rule, CSS does not permit customers
to return merchandise and does not grant extended payment terms, although
exceptions may be made if necessary to meet unique market conditions.
1
<PAGE>
For CIG, payment terms are particular to individual contracts, some of which
provide for the holdback of certain residual payments to Motorola until system
acceptance by the customer. In certain circumstances, CIG permits customer
returns in accordance with specific contract terms. Increasingly, as a result of
the financial demands of major network deployments, network operators are
requiring suppliers, like CIG, to provide or arrange for long-term financing in
connection with equipment purchases. Financing may cover all or a portion of the
purchase price, as well as working capital, and can be sizeable. CIG may also
assist customers in obtaining financing from banks or other sources. CIG expects
that the need to provide this financing or arrange financing for its customers
will continue, and could increase.
The wireless telephone market has experienced an ongoing technology shift from
analog products, where CSS has a higher relative market share, to digital
products, where CSS has a lower relative market share. As a result, during 1998
CSS experienced under-utilization of certain of its analog telephone production
facilities. CSS addressed these capacity issues by converting a significant
portion of its analog facilities to provide for the production of its expanding
portfolio of digital telephones. This conversion of manufacturing capacity from
analog to digital is expected to be completed during 1999.
The segment experiences intense competition in worldwide markets from numerous
competitors ranging in size from some of the world's largest companies to small,
specialized firms. In particular, the segment has experienced significant
competition in the market for digital products. Competitive factors in the
market for the segment's products include: technology offered; price; product
and system performance, features, quality, delivery, availability and warranty;
the quality and availability of service; company image; relationship with key
customers and time-to-market. As described above, an additional factor for CIG
is the availability of vendor financing, as customers continue to look to
equipment vendors as an additional source of financing.
The segment's backlog amounted to $2.23 billion at December 31, 1998 and $2.19
billion at December 31, 1997. For 1998 versus 1997, backlog was up significantly
for CSS and down for CIG. The 1998 order backlog is believed to be generally
firm and 100% of that amount is expected to be shipped in 1999. The forward-
looking estimates of the firmness of such orders is subject to future events
which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog actually shipped to change.
Materials used in the segment's operations are generally second-sourced to
ensure a continuity of supply. Occasional shortages in purchased components do
occur. Energy necessary for the segment's manufacturing facilities consists of
electricity, natural gas and gasoline, all of which are currently in generally
adequate supply. The segment's facilities are highly automated and, therefore,
require a reliable source of electrical power. Labor is generally available in
reasonable proximity to the segment's manufacturing facilities. Difficulties in
obtaining any of the aforementioned items could affect the segment's results.
Patent protection is extremely important to the segment's operations. The
segment has an extensive portfolio of patents relating to its products, systems,
technologies and manufacturing processes. Motorola is also licensed to use
certain patents owned by others. The protection of these licenses is also
important to the segment's operations. Reference is made to the material under
the heading "General" for information relating to patents and trademarks,
research and development activities and the seasonality and volatility of
business with respect to this segment.
CSS's headquarters are located in Libertyville, Illinois. CSS operates
manufacturing facilities in Libertyville and Harvard, Illinois; Easter Inch,
Scotland; Flensburg, Germany; Tianjin, China; Singapore; and Jaguariuna, Brazil
and has a manufacturing licensee in China.
CIG's headquarters are located in Arlington Heights, Illinois. CIG operates
manufacturing facilities in Arlington Heights and McHenry, Illinois; Fort Worth,
Texas; Jaguariuna, Brazil; Hangzhou, China; and Groundwell, England and has a
manufacturing licensee in China.
LAND MOBILE PRODUCTS
The Land Mobile Products Sector ("LMPS") primarily designs, manufactures,
sells, installs and services analog and digital two-way radio voice and data
products and systems for many different commercial, governmental and industrial
customers worldwide. LMPS products provide voice and data communications between
vehicles, persons and base stations. Also, LMPS provides network services for
two-way radio subscribers in international markets through joint ventures.
2
<PAGE>
The principal customers for two-way radio products and systems include public
safety agencies, such as police, fire, highway maintenance departments and
forestry services; petroleum companies; gas, electric and water utilities;
telephone companies; diverse industrial companies; mining companies;
transportation companies such as railroads, airlines, taxicab operations and
trucking firms; institutions, such as schools and hospitals; and companies in
the construction, vending machine and service businesses. These products are
also sold and leased to various federal agencies for many uses. In addition,
there is a growing consumer two-way radio market using the products for personal
and family communication needs.
LMPS also manufactures and sells signaling and control systems and
communication control centers used in two-way radio operations. Additionally,
LMPS unveiled its M-Smart(TM) family of platforms for smart card products, which
allow organizations to quickly deploy and build value-added applications,
including cards, card operating systems, readers and application development
workbenches.
Sales of iDEN(R) equipment to Nextel Communications, Inc., an entity in which
Motorola holds a minority ownership position, represent a material part of the
business of LMPS. The impact of losing this customer could have a material
adverse effect on the performance of the segment. In addition, there are a few
customers that, collectively, the loss of, or a significant reduction in
purchases by, could have a material adverse effect on LMPS's results.
Users of two-way radios are regulated by a variety of governmental and other
regulatory agencies throughout the world. In the United States, users of two-way
radios are licensed by the Federal Communication Commission ("FCC") which has
broad authority to make rules and regulations and prescribe restrictions and
conditions to carry out the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934. The
FCC's authority includes, among other things, the power to classify radio
stations, prescribe the nature of the service to be rendered by each class of
station, assign frequencies to the various classes of stations and regulate the
kinds of equipment which may be used. Regulatory agencies in other countries
have similar types of authority. Consequently, the business and results of this
segment could be affected by the rules and regulations adopted by the FCC or
regulatory agencies in other countries from time to time. Motorola has developed
products using trunking and data communications technologies to enhance spectral
efficiencies. The growth and results of the two-way radio communications
industry may be affected, however, by the regulations of the FCC or other
regulatory agencies relating to the allocation of frequencies for land mobile
communications users, especially in urban areas where such frequencies are
heavily used.
The products manufactured and marketed by LMPS are sold directly through its
own distribution force, or through independent authorized distributors and
dealers, commercial mobile radio service operators, retailers and independent
commission sales representatives. The direct distribution force also provides
system engineering and installation and other technical services to meet the
customer's particular needs. The customer may choose to install and maintain the
equipment with its own employees, or may obtain installation, service and parts
from a network of Motorola authorized service stations (most of whom are also
authorized dealers) or from other non-Motorola service stations. Subscriber
units are sold directly and through indirect distribution channels.
Leasing and conditional sale arrangements are also made available to
customers. The majority of the leases and conditional sale contracts entered
into by LMPS are sold to several unaffiliated finance companies or banks on
terms, which, in most instances, provide recourse to Motorola with certain
limitations. In addition, a significant number of leases and conditional sale
contracts are sold to a Motorola finance subsidiary. In certain circumstances,
LMPS permits customers to return products in accordance with industry practices.
LMPS's business includes providing custom products based on assembling basic
units into a large variety of models or combinations. This requires the stocking
of inventories and large varieties of piece parts and replacement parts, as well
as a variety of basic level assemblies in order to meet short delivery
requirements.
This segment's backlog amounted to $1.49 billion at December 31, 1998 and
$1.37 billion at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog amount is believed to be
generally firm, and approximately 81% of that amount is expected to be shipped
during 1999. This forward-looking estimate of the firmness of such orders is
subject to future events, which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog
actually shipped to change.
This segment experiences widespread, intense competition from numerous
competitors ranging from some of the world's largest, diversified companies to
foreign state-owned telecommunications companies to many small, specialized
firms. In addition, LMPS faces competition from numerous companies whose
principal manufacturing operations are located outside the United States, which
may serve to reduce their manufacturing costs and enhance
3
<PAGE>
their brand recognition in their locale. Competitive factors for LMPS include:
price; technology offered; product performance, quality, delivery and
availability; and the quality and availability of service and systems
engineering, with no one factor being dominant. An additional factor is the
availability of vendor financing, as infrastructure customers continue to look
to equipment vendors as an additional source of financing.
Availability of the materials and components required by LMPS is relatively
dependable and certain, but normal fluctuations in market demand and supply
could cause temporary, selective shortages and affect results. Direct sourcing
of materials and components from foreign suppliers is becoming more extensive.
LMPS operates certain offshore subassembly plants, the loss of one or more of
which could constrain its production capabilities and affect results. Natural
gas, electricity and, to a lesser extent, oil are the primary sources of energy.
Current supplies of these forms of energy are generally considered to be
adequate for this segment's U.S. and foreign operations. However, difficulties
in obtaining any of the aforementioned items could affect the segment's results.
Patent protection is very important to the segment's business. Reference is
made to the material under the heading "General" for information relating to
patents and trademarks, research and development activities and volatility with
respect to this segment.
This segment's headquarters are located in Schaumburg, Illinois, with major
manufacturing facilities in Schaumburg, Illinois; Plantation, Florida; Mount
Pleasant, Iowa; Swords, Ireland; Arad, Israel; Penang, Malaysia; Berlin,
Germany; and Tianjin, China.
MESSAGING, INFORMATION AND MEDIA PRODUCTS
Motorola's Messaging, Information and Media Sector ("MIMS") primarily designs,
manufactures, sells, installs and services paging subscriber, paging
infrastructure and related products, such as paging software and accessories.
MIMS also provides network services for paging and wireless data and gateway
communication subscribers through wholly-owned and operated businesses as well
as domestic and international joint ventures. It manufactures and sells modems,
analog and digital transmission devices and other data communication devices, as
well as wireline networking products like routers for carrying converged voice
and data traffic. In addition, MIMS manufactures equipment that enables voice
and high-speed data communications over cable networks and offers handwriting
and speech recognition software for various applications. MIMS sells equipment
and systems to consumers and business, institutional and governmental
organizations. A majority of MIMS manufacturing, distribution and sales occurs
outside of the United States.
Radio frequencies are required to provide paging and wireless data information
services. The allocation of frequencies is regulated in the United States and
other countries throughout the world, and limited spectrum space is allocated to
wireless services. The growth of the paging and wireless data information
industry and this segment's results could be affected if adequate frequencies
are not allocated for its use, or alternatively, if new technology is not
developed to increase capacity on presently allocated frequencies.
MIMS products are sold worldwide through both domestic and international sales
organizations, which sell through direct and indirect channels such as
distributors, retailers and value-added resellers. Consistent with general
practices in the industry, under certain limited circumstances, MIMS allows
customer returns. Payment terms are set based upon industry and regional
practices for each product channel and extended payment terms are granted in
some cases. MIMS carries reasonable product inventories to meet customer
delivery requirements.
There are a few customers that, collectively, the loss of, or a significant
reduction in purchases by, could have a material adverse effect on the segment's
results.
This segment experiences widespread, intense competition from numerous
competitors ranging from some of the world's largest, diversified companies to
foreign state-owned telecommunications companies to many small, specialized
firms. The principal manufacturing operations of many competitors are located
outside of the United States, which may serve to reduce their manufacturing
costs and enhance their brand recognition in their locale. The paging business
is experiencing increasing competition from low cost and prepaid digital
wireless telephone services around the world, as customers continue to look more
favorably at wireless phones as options for messaging needs. Competitive factors
for MIMS include: price; technology offered; product performance, features,
quality, availability and warranty; the quality and availability of service;
time-to-market; and company image. An additional factor for
4
<PAGE>
the infrastructure business is the availability of vendor financing, as
customers continue to look to equipment vendors as an additional source of
financing.
The segment's backlog amounted to $410 million at December 31, 1998 and $428
million at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog is believed to be generally firm,
and approximately 100% of that amount is expected to be shipped during 1999.
This forward-looking estimate of the firmness of such orders is subject to
future events, which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog actually
shipped to change.
Materials and components required by this segment are relatively dependable
and certain, but normal fluctuations in market demand and supply could cause
temporary, selective shortages. Occasionally, shortages or extended delivery
periods have occurred in various component parts, the effects of which have
generally been industry-wide and short in duration. Natural gas, electricity and
oil are the primary sources of energy necessary for the segment's operations.
These types of energy are currently readily available, but difficulties in
obtaining any of the aforementioned items could affect the segment's results.
Patent protection is very important to the segment's business. Reference is
made to the material under the heading "General" for information relating to
patents and trademarks, research and development activities and seasonality of
business with respect to this segment.
This segment's headquarters are located in Schaumburg, Illinois, with
manufacturing facilities in; Boynton Beach, Florida; Mansfield, Massachusetts;
Ft. Worth, Texas; Tianjin, China; Bangalore, India; Dublin, Ireland; Chihuahua,
Mexico; and Singapore; additionally, software development and administration
offices are located in Palo Alto, California; Alpharetta, Georgia; Arlington
Heights, Illinois; Bothell, Washington; Mississuaga, Canada and Richmond,
Canada.
SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS
Semiconductors control and amplify electrical signals and are used in a broad
range of electronic products, including consumer electronic products, computers,
communications equipment, solid-state ignition systems and other automotive
electronic products, major home appliances, industrial controls, robotics,
aircraft, space vehicles, calculators and automatic controls.
The Semiconductor Products Sector ("SPS") produces embedded processors. SPS
designs, produces and sells integrated semiconductor solutions for customers
serving the networking and computing, transportation and wireless communication
markets and for consumer applications in imaging and entertainment. SPS also
provides high-volume, standard discrete, analog and digital semiconductors used
in virtually every type of electronic equipment.
SPS sells its products worldwide to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs")
and a network of industrial distributors through its own sales force, agents and
distributors. Products manufactured by SPS are also supplied to other operating
units of Motorola. Other businesses of Motorola collectively constitute the
segment's largest customer and the volume of purchases by these businesses has
affected, and could continue to affect, SPS's results.
Customers are allowed to return merchandise for the longer of (i) the product
warranty period of the distributor or (ii) three years. The segment and its
results are affected by the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry.
Available capacity, cyclical customer demands, new product introductions and
aggressive pricing has and could continue to impact its business and results.
In 1998, the segment experienced under-utilization of certain of its
production facilities due to reduced market demand. The segment's capacity for
certain other products is being increased to meet current market demand. In
addition, the segment supplements its internal manufacturing capacity with joint
venture manufacturing facilities and purchases of products from outside vendors.
SPS has announced a goal to increase the use of foundry manufacturing for older
and specialized technologies.
The semiconductor industry is subject to rapid changes in technology, and
requires a high level of capital spending and an extensive research, development
and design program to maintain state-of-the-art technology. Accordingly, SPS
maintains an extensive research and development program in advanced
semiconductor technology and a significant portion of Motorola's capital
expenditures have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, for
semiconductor facilities.
5
<PAGE>
The segment's backlog amounted to $1.66 billion at December 31, 1998 and $1.77
billion at December 31, 1997. Orders may be and are placed by customers for
delivery up to 12 months in the future but for purposes of calculating backlog
only the next 13 weeks requirements are reported. In the semiconductor industry,
backlog quantities and shipment schedules under outstanding purchase orders are
frequently revised to reflect changes in customer needs. Binding agreements
calling for the sale of specific quantities at specific prices are, typically,
contractually subject to price or quantity revisions and are, as a matter of
industry practice, rarely formally enforced. Therefore, the segment believes
that most of its order backlog is cancelable. For these reasons, the amount of
backlog as of any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of future
results.
SPS experiences intense competition from numerous competitors ranging from
large companies offering a full range of products to small companies
specializing in certain segments of the market. The competitive environment also
is changing as a result of increased alliances between competitors. The segment
competes in many semiconductor markets, including the telecommunications,
personal computer/work station, industrial, transportation, consumer, computer,
and distributor markets. Important factors in competition are: price; technology
offered; product features, quality, availability and warranty; the quality and
availability of service; time-to-market; and company image. The ability to
develop new products to meet customer requirements and to meet customer delivery
schedules also are competitive factors.
The segment is not currently experiencing any shortages in obtaining raw
materials. A significant portion of certain materials and parts used by SPS is
supplied from a single country. With respect to these and other materials, the
segment is constantly evaluating additional sources of supply to minimize the
risk of obtaining materials from only a few sources. Electricity, oil and
natural gas are used extensively in the segment's operations. All of these
energy sources are available in adequate quantities for current needs.
Electricity and oil are the primary energy sources for the segment's foreign
operations, and presently, there are no shortages of these sources although the
reliability of electrical power has been a problem from time to time at certain
facilities outside of the U.S. Difficulties in obtaining any of the
aforementioned items could affect SPS's results.
Patent protection is very important to SPS's operations. In addition, Motorola
is licensed to use certain patents owned by others. The protection of these
licenses is also important to SPS's operations. Reference is made to the
material under the heading "General" for information relating to patents and
trademarks, research and development activities and seasonality of business with
respect to this industry segment.
The Semiconductor Products segment's headquarters are in Austin, Texas. Its
major facilities are located in Austin, Texas; Chandler, Mesa, Phoenix and
Tempe, Arizona; Tianjin, China; Toulouse, France; Munich, Germany; Kwai Chung
and Tai Po, Hong Kong; Aizu, Sendai and Tokyo, Japan; Paju, South Korea; Geneva,
Switzerland; Tel Aviv, Israel; Kuala Lumpur and Seremban, Malaysia; Guadalajara,
Mexico; Carmona, the Philippines; Singapore; Chung-Li, Taiwan; and East Kilbride
and South Queensferry, Scotland. In February 1999, SPS announced its intention
to sell its Chung-Li, Taiwan and Paju, South Korea facilities, each of which
provide manufacturing and assembly and test capabilities for SPS. The sale of
these facilities is expected to close by the end of 1999, although there can be
no assurance that the pending transactions will be completed. In addition,
during 1998 SPS began converting a significant portion of its major
manufacturing facilities located at 52nd Street in Phoenix, Arizona from
manufacturing to non-manufacturing utilization. This conversion is expected to
be completed in 1999. SPS is consolidating its production network into fewer
integrated "anchor" sites for economics of scale and improved efficiency

Component, Computer and Energy Sector) designs, manufactures and sells
automotive and industrial electronics products, energy storage products and
systems, electronic fluorescent ballasts and multi-function embedded board and
computer system products. The Sector serves a wide range of markets, including
automotive, lighting, telecommunications, manufacturing systems and imaging. In
1998, the Telematics Communications Group ("TCG") was formed to focus corporate-
wide efforts on the growing worldwide opportunity in the emerging automotive
communications industry. In addition, IESS oversees the research and development
efforts of the Flat Panel Display Division, which is developing the next
generation of flat panel displays.

The Automotive and Industrial Electronics Group ("AIEG") sells electronic
components, modules and systems to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"),
including foreign and domestic automobile manufacturers, heavy vehicle
manufacturers, farm equipment manufacturers and industrial customers. The
Motorola Computer Group ("MCG"), which became part of IESS in early 1998, sells
its products to OEMs and industrial distributors worldwide, some of whom produce
computer products that compete with MCG. The Energy Systems Group ("ESG") sells
primarily to the wireless communications industry and has also been expanding
into the portable computer market. A significant portion of ESG's sales are to
other industry segments within Motorola, primarily the cellular telephone and
paging business. A significant part of the Sector's business is dependent upon
the business of these other Motorola industry segments, collectively, and two
other external customers. The loss of any of these three customers could have a
material adverse effect on the business of IESS.
Demand for the products of AIEG and TCG is linked to automobile sales in the
United States and other countries. Demand for MCG's products is linked to
manufacturing systems, imaging, and telecommunications in the United States and
other countries. The Sector experiences competition from numerous global
competitors, including automobile manufacturer's internal control suppliers.
Competitive factors in the sale of IESS's products include price; product
quality, performance and delivery; supply integrity; quality reputation;
responsiveness; and design and manufacturing technology. An additional factor
for MCG's products is the availability of software. In certain circumstances,
IESS permits customers to return products in accordance with industry practices.
The Sector's backlog amounted to $315 million at December 31, 1998 and $309
million at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog for the Sector is believed to be
generally firm, and approximately 100% of that amount is expected to be shipped
during 1999. This forward-looking estimate of the firmness of such orders is
subject to future events that may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog
actually shipped to change.
All materials used by IESS in its operations have good availability at this
time. The Sector uses electricity and gas in its operations, which are currently
adequate in supply. However, difficulties in obtaining any of the aforementioned
items could affect IESS's results.
Patent protection is important to the Sector's business and, in particular, is
very important to the business of the Flat Panel Display Division. Reference is
made to the material under the heading "General" for information relating to
patents and trademarks and research and development activities with respect to
this Sector.
The Sector's headquarters are located in Northbrook, Illinois. It also has
manufacturing operations located in Scottsdale and Tempe, Arizona; Atlanta,
Georgia; Harvard, Lake Zurich and Schaumburg, Illinois; Elma, New York;
Carlisle, Pennsylvania; Seguin, Texas; Tianjin, China; San Jose, Costa Rica;
Stotfold, England; Angers, France; Dublin, Ireland; and Penang, Malaysia. The
business has announced plans to close its component manufacturing facilities in
San Jose, Costa Rica and Carlisle, Pennsylvania during 1999.
SPACE AND SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY GROUP
The Space and Systems Technology Group ("SSTG") is engaged in the design,
production and integration of advanced electronic communication systems and
products for a variety of international and domestic commercial and government
users. The emphasis of SSTG is to be a premier systems developer and integrator.
SSTG provides electronic and communications equipment products that have various
applications based upon customer requirements of SSTG's business segments,
including government and satellite communications.
The satellite communications business, Satellite Communications Group ("SCG"),
markets, designs, builds, and operates and maintains space-based
telecommunications systems. On November 1, 1998, SCG successfully completed the
terms of the Space System Contract with Iridium Operating LLC, an entity in
whose parent company Motorola holds a minority ownership interest (together with
such parent company, referred to collectively as "Iridium"), to build and deploy
the Iridium(R) satellite communications network. On that same date, SCG began
fulfilling the terms of the five-year Operations and Maintenance Contract to
operate and continue to manufacture and deploy satellites for the maintenance of
the Iridium system. The Iridium system is designed to provide global digital
service to handheld telephones and related equipment.
Iridium is the first low-earth orbit, worldwide satellite-based communications
network in existence for general public use. A few similar systems are planned
by competitors. Currently, the primary competing systems are expected to be the
proposed Globalstar(TM) communications system and the proposed ICO(R)
communications system.
7
<PAGE>
Competition for these systems is generally on the basis of first-to-market,
available geographical coverage, price and quality and reliability of service.
The contracts Motorola has executed with Iridium for the construction,
deployment, operation and maintenance of the global communications system
provide for payments to Motorola over a ten-year period, which began in 1993.
Motorola has in turn entered into significant subcontracts for portions of the
system, for which it will remain contractually and financially obligated even if
Iridium is unable to satisfy the terms of the contracts with Motorola. During
the last five years, these Iridium contracts have become a significant portion
of SSTG's business and revenue from the satellite-based business is expected to
remain a major contributor to SSTG's sales for the next several years. For a
more detailed discussion of Motorola's relationship with Iridium, see Note 8,
"Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual
meeting of stockholders
SCG has been designated by Teledesic LLC, an entity in which Motorola has a
minority ownership interest, as the prime contractor for the Teledesic(R)
system. The Teledesic system is conceived as a global, broadband "Internet-in-
the-Sky" satellite communications system. The network is planned to provide high
speed data connections to businesses, institutions and individuals worldwide.
The system would be composed of a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites,
designed to provide affordable, worldwide, "fiber-like" access to
telecommunications services, including broadband Internet access, video
conferencing, high quality voice and other digital data needs, to fixed
locations.
SSTG's government business operations primarily perform research, development
and production work under contracts with governmental agencies, but also conduct
independent research and development programs. They produce diversified military
electronic equipment, including military communications equipment, data links,
display systems, missile guidance equipment, electronic ordnance devices and
drone electronic systems.
The government business operations have been predominantly dependent on the
U.S. Government as the main customer, acting as either a prime contractor or a
subcontractor to other prime contractors. The total loss of this business could
have a material adverse effect on SSTG. Contracts are secured from U.S.
Government agencies and their suppliers by negotiation and competitive bids. The
government acquisition environment is highly regulated and is increasingly more
competitive. Competition has increased substantially in all aspects of the
government business due to a reduction and slowdown in acquisition resulting
from a lower defense budget. Competitors include large and small technically
competent firms. Some competitors from whom the government business operations
procured subcontract work in the past are becoming more vertically integrated
and are performing the work previously subcontracted. The government business
operations expect to remain competitive based on price, technology offered,
quality of product performance and warranty. Additionally, the business is
beginning to leverage growth by applying its core technologies to commercial
opportunities.
Total sales for SSTG include sales made to a number of governments and
corporations. Products of SSTG are marketed by a few distributors, by
independent representatives and by SSTG's own sales force. SSTG customer
returns, when allowed, provide for only repair or replacement of products under
warranty. The U.S. Government requests warranty coverage for essential
performance requirements along with design and manufacturing requirements on
those systems used to carry out combat and support missions. SSTG does not carry
significant amounts of inventory to meet delivery requirements of customers
because it has not experienced serious source supply issues.
SSTG's backlog amounted to $1.05 billion at December 31, 1998 and $1.48
billion at December 31, 1997. The 1998 backlog is believed to be generally firm
and 91% of that amount is expected to be shipped during 1999. All contracts with
the U.S. Government are subject to cancellation at the convenience of the
Government, and the contracts with Iridium may be terminated by Iridium pursuant
to the terms set forth in the contracts. The forward-looking estimate of the
firmness of the 1998 backlog as discussed above is subject to future events,
which may cause the percentage of the 1998 backlog actually shipped to change.
Materials used by SSTG in its operations are generally available. Natural gas
and electricity are the principle types of energy used, and availability of both
to SSTG is currently adequate. Difficulties in obtaining any of the
aforementioned items could affect SSTG's results.

<PAGE>
Patents continue to become more important to SSTG as competition increases in
a declining U.S. Government market and as SSTG expands commercial opportunities.
Reference is made to the material under the heading "General" for information
related to patents and trademarks and research and development activities with
respect to SSTG.
The Group has its headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, with manufacturing
facilities in Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona and an administrative office in
Tempe, Arizona.
CREATION OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ENTERPRISE
In July 1998, Motorola began realigning its communications-related businesses
into one organization called the Motorola Communications Enterprise. The new
structure is intended to enable integrated solutions and improved responsiveness
to the needs of distinct customer segments. Business segments in the Motorola
Communications Enterprise include cellular, space, land mobile, and messaging,
information and media, which together accounted for about three-fourths of
Motorola's $29.4 billion in sales in 1998. For this year-end reporting, Motorola
continues to use the previous segments because management continued to make
operating decisions and assess performance based on these segments. For a
description of Motorola's 1999 segment realignment, see the information included
under the "1999 Segment Realignment" section of "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the
appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of
stockholders.
Financial Information About Segments. The response to this section of Item 1
incorporates by reference Note 9, "Information by Segment and Geographic
Region," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the
appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of
stockholders.
Customers. Motorola is not dependent for a material part of its overall
business upon a single or a very few customers. Approximately 2.5% of Motorola's
total sales and revenues in 1998 were received from various branches and
agencies, including the armed services, of the U.S. Government. All contracts
with the U.S. Government are subject to cancellation at the convenience of the
Government.
Government contractors, including Motorola, are routinely subjected to
numerous audits and investigations, which may be either civil or criminal in
nature. The consequences of these audits and investigations may include
administrative action to suspend business dealings with the contractor and to
exclude it from receiving new business. In addition, Motorola, like other
contractors, is internally reviewing aspects of its government contracting
operations, and, where appropriate, taking corrective actions and making
voluntary disclosures to the Government. These audits and investigations could
adversely affect Motorola and its results.
Backlog. Motorola's aggregate backlog position, including the backlog position
of subsidiaries through which some of its business units operate, as of the end
of the last two fiscal years, was approximately as follows:
December 31, 1998.............................. $7.16 billion
December 31, 1997.............................. $7.55 billion
Except as previously discussed in this Item 1(c), the orders supporting the
1998 backlog amounts shown in the foregoing table are believed to be generally
firm, and approximately 95% of orders on hand at December 31, 1998 are expected
to be shipped during 1999. However, this is a forward-looking estimate of the
amount expected to be shipped, and future events may cause the percentage
actually shipped to change.
Motorola uses the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenues and
costs associated with most long-term contracts. For contracts involving certain
technologies, revenues and profits, or parts thereof, are deferred until
technological feasibility is established and customer acceptance is obtained.
For other product sales, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment, and
reserves are established for price protection and cooperative marketing programs
with distributors.
Research and Development. Motorola's business segments participate in very
competitive industries with constant changes in technology. Throughout its
history, Motorola has relied, and continues to rely, primarily on its research
and development programs for the development of new products and its production
engineering capabilities for the improvement of existing products. Technical
data and product application ideas are exchanged among Motorola's business
segments on a regular basis. Management believes, looking forward, that
Motorola's
9
<PAGE>
commitment to research and development programs, both to improve existing
products and services and to develop new products and services, together with
its utilization of state-of-the-art technology, should allow each of its
segments to remain competitive.
Research and development expenditures relating to new product development or
product improvement, other than customer-sponsored contracts, were approximately
$2.89 billion in 1998, $2.75 billion in 1997 and $2.39 billion in 1996. In
addition, research funded under customer-sponsored contracts amounted to
approximately $433 million in 1998, $616 million in 1997 and $758 million in
1996.
Approximately 18,300 professional employees were engaged in such research
activities (including customer-sponsored contracts) during 1998.
Patents and Trademarks. As of December 31, 1998, Motorola owned approximately
10,307 utility and design patents in the United States and 10,882 patents in
foreign countries. These foreign patents are mostly counterparts of Motorola's
U.S. patents, but an increasing number result from research conducted outside
the United States and are originally filed in the country of origin. During
1998, Motorola was granted 1,596 U.S. utility and design patents. Many of the
patents owned by Motorola are used in its operations or licensed for use by
others, and Motorola is licensed to use certain patents owned by others. In some
instances, certain of the patents licensed by Motorola to others have generated
significant amounts of revenue to Motorola.
Motorola has obtained registration of the "MOTOROLA" and "M Symbol Logo"
trademarks throughout the world for many products and services. Worldwide
recognition of these marks has resulted in their categorization as "famous"
marks. These marks are considered to be valuable corporate assets. Certain other
trademarks and service marks of Motorola are registered in relevant markets.
Awareness of brand value and resulting brand development during 1998 resulted in
the introduction of two major new brands that span multiple product categories:
DIGITAL DNA and MOTOROLA WINGS. Worldwide registration of these new brands is
underway.
Environmental Quality. Motorola operations are from time to time the subjects
of investigations, conferences, discussions and negotiations with various
federal, state and local environmental agencies with respect to the discharge or
cleanup of hazardous waste and compliance by those operations with environmental
laws and regulations. The balance of the response to this section of Item 1
incorporates by reference the information contained under the caption
"Environmental and Legal" in Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the appendix to
Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of stockholders.
Miscellaneous. At December 31, 1998, there were approximately 133,000
employees of Motorola and its subsidiaries. The business of Motorola and its
industry segments has certain seasonal characteristics: the Semiconductor
Products segment has tended to have stronger, seasonally-adjusted sales in the
first half of the year; and sales of products, such as cellular telephones and
pagers, in consumer markets tend to increase in the fourth quarter. An increase
or decrease in large system orders in CIG, LMPS or SSTG could cause volatility
in orders, revenues and profits recognized in any particular period.

Motorola wishes to caution readers that in addition to the important factors
described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the following important factors, among
others, sometimes have affected, and in the future could affect, Motorola's
actual results and could cause Motorola's actual consolidated results during
1999, and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-
looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Motorola:
Changes in Laws Affecting Frequency
. The effects of, and changes in, laws and regulations and other activities
of governments, agencies and similar organizations, including, but not
limited to, those affecting frequency, use and availability of spectrum
authorizations and licensing.
Risks From Large Systems Contracts
. Risks related to the loss of material customers of one or more of
Motorola's businesses, including the unexpected loss of sales and market
perception, particularly because of the continuing trend towards
increasingly large system contracts for CIG, LMPS and SSTG infrastructure
equipment and the resulting reliance on large customers.
Demand for Customer Financing
. Increasing demand for customer financing of equipment sales, particularly
infrastructure equipment sold by CIG, LMPS, SSTG and the paging
infrastructure business, and the ability of these businesses to provide
financing on competitive terms with other companies.
Transition From Analog to Digital
. The ability of Motorola's cellular businesses to continue their transition
to digital technologies and successfully compete in those businesses and
retain or gain market share. Motorola faces intense competition in these
markets from established companies and new entrants. Product life cycles
can be short and new products are expensive to both develop and bring to
market.
Year 2000 Issues
. Motorola's ability to manufacture and deliver products and the level of
purchases made by customers may be affected by an unanticipated adverse
impact from Year 2000 issues, particularly the failure of products and
services from major suppliers to function properly in the Year 2000.
Euro Conversion
. Risks related to the introduction of the euro currency in Europe, including
the ability of Motorola to successfully compete in Europe.
Development of New Products
. The risks related to Motorola's significant investment in developing and
introducing new products such as digital cellular telephones, two-way and
voice paging, CDMA for cellular and PCS systems and third-generation
wireless, wireless local loop products, flat panel display products,
products for transmission of telephony and high-speed data over hybrid
fiber coaxial cable systems, integrated digital radios, and semiconductor
products. These risks include: difficulties and delays in the development,
production, testing and marketing of products; customer acceptance of
products, particularly as Motorola's focus on the consumer market
increases; the significant amount of resources Motorola must devote to the
development of new technology; and the ability of Motorola to differentiate
its products and compete with other companies in the same market.
11
<PAGE>
Demand for Wireless Communications Equipment
. The need for continued significant demand for wireless communications
equipment, including equipment of the type Motorola manufactures or is
developing.
Ability to Compete in Semiconductor Market
. The ability of Motorola's semiconductor business to compete in the highly
competitive semiconductor market. Factors that could adversely affect
Motorola's ability to compete are production inefficiencies and higher
costs related to underutilized facilities, including both wholly-owned and
joint venture facilities; shortage of manufacturing capacity for some
products; competitive factors, such as rival chip architectures, mix of
products, acceptance of new products and price pressures; risk of inventory
obsolescence due to shifts in market demand; the continued growth of
embedded technologies and systems and Motorola's ability to compete in that
market; and the effect of orders from Motorola's equipment businesses .
Increased Use of Foundry Manufacturing Capacity
. The ability of Motorola's semiconductor business to increase its
utilization of foundry manufacturing capacity and the impact of such
efforts on capital expenditures, production costs and the ability to
satisfy delivery requirements.
Exit, Conversion, Sale or Closure of Existing Facilities
. Unexpected delays in the conversion of certain semiconductor manufacturing
facilities from manufacturing to non-manufacturing utilization and the
impact of such conversion on operating results, production costs and the
ability to satisfy delivery requirements.
. Unexpected changes in circumstances that delay or frustrate Motorola's
plans to sell or close certain operating facilities and the impact of such
sales or closures on operating results, production costs and the ability to
satisfy delivery requirements.
Risks Related to the Iridium(R) System
. Factors relating to the success of the Iridium project and its impact on
Motorola, including: the ability of Iridium LLC and its gateway operators
to market the Iridium service, to timely receive and, as appropriate,
operate and sell telecommunications equipment, including phones and pagers
made by Motorola, and to otherwise timely finance and operate a successful
telecommunications business and generate income; the ability of Iridium LLC
to meet its financing needs during at least the next few years to continue
to make contractual payments to Motorola and to make debt payments and
otherwise operate; the risks associated with the large Iridium system
operations and maintenance contract with Motorola and the financial risk to
Motorola under that contract, including the difficulty in projecting costs
associated with that contract and Motorola's obligations to subcontractors
related to that contract; the market acceptance (both on its own and when
compared to possible competitors) of what is expected to be the first
worldwide global satellite-based communication service and of the related
equipment; and the significant technological and other risks associated
with the development and commercial operation of the project, including any
software and support systems-related risks.
Outcome of Litigation
. The outcome of pending and future litigation and the protection and
validity of patents and other intellectual property rights. Patent and
other intellectual property rights of Motorola are important competitive
tools and many generate income under license agreements. There can be
assurances that these rights will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented in one or more countries.
Additional Risk Factors Included In Proxy Statement
Certain portions of Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual meeting of
stockholders with Management's Discussion and Analysis and Consolidated
Financial Statements are incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K. There
are additional important factors included therein, including those on pages F-15
through F-18 of the appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement for the 1999 annual
meeting of stockholders, that sometimes have affected, and in the future could
affect, Motorola's actual results and could cause Motorola's actual consolidated
12
<PAGE>
results during 1999, and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Motorola.
Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales.
Domestic export sales to third parties were $3.06 billion in 1998, $3.98
billion in 1997 and $3.74 billion in 1996. Domestic export sales to affiliates
were $4.96 billion in 1998, $6.86 billion in 1997 and $6.31 billion in 1996.
The remainder of the response to this section of Item 1 incorporates by
reference Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements and the "1998 Compared to 1997" and "1997 Compared to 1996"
sections of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" contained in the appendix to Motorola's Proxy Statement
for the 1999 annual meeting of stockholders.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
Motorola's principal executive offices are located at 1303 East Algonquin
Road, Schaumburg, Illinois 60196. Its other major facilities in the United
States are located in Arlington Heights, Harvard, Lake Zurich, Libertyville,
Northbrook and Schaumburg, Illinois; Elma, New York; Phoenix, Chandler,
Scottsdale, Mesa and Tempe, Arizona; Boynton Beach and Plantation, Florida;
Lawrenceville, Georgia; Austin, Ft. Worth and Seguin, Texas; Mount Pleasant,
Iowa; Mansfield, Massachusetts; and San Jose, California. Motorola also
operates manufacturing facilities or sales offices in 42 other countries. (See
Item 1 for information regarding the location of the principal manufacturing
facilities for each industry segment.) Motorola owns 130 facilities
(manufacturing, sales, service and office), 75 of which are located in North
America and 55 of which are located in other countries. Motorola leases 594
such facilities, 303 of which are located in North America and 291 of which are
located in other countries.
Motorola generally considers the productive capacity of the plants operated by
each of its industry segments adequate and suitable for the requirements of each
business group. New semiconductor product manufacturing facilities are under
construction in Xi-Qing, China and an expansion of the semiconductor product
manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona is currently underway. A new
manufacturing facility that is expected to be shared by a number of Motorola
business units within the Communications Enterprise is being constructed in
Jaguariuna, Brazil. This new facility is expected to be fully operational in
early 1999.
As part of Motorola's overall strategy to reduce operating costs and improve
the financial performance of the corporation, a number of non-profitable
businesses and facilities were either sold during 1998 or are currently up for
sale. Major facilities that ceased operations during 1998 that are currently up
for sale are located in Huntsville, Alabama; Irvine, California; and Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina. Motorola is also in the process of selling two
start-up facilities in Jaguariuna, Brazil. In addition, Motorola has announced
its intention to sell or shut down currently operating major facilities located
in San Jose, Costa Rica; Carlisle, Pennsylvania; Paju, South Korea; and Chung-
Li, Taiwan.
The extent of utilization of manufacturing facilities varies from plant to
plant and from time to time during the year.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Motorola is currently a named defendant in seven cases arising out of alleged
groundwater, soil and air pollution in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona.
McIntire et al. v. Motorola remains pending in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Arizona, while Baker et al. v. Motorola et al., Lofgren et al. v.
Motorola et al., Bentancourt et al. v. Motorola et al., Ford et al. v. Motorola
et al., Wilkins et al. v. Motorola et al and Dawson et al. v. Motorola, et al.
are pending in the Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County. The McIntire
lawsuit, filed on December 20, 1991, involves approximately 920 plaintiffs who
allege that the operations of Motorola at several facilities in Phoenix and
Scottsdale, Arizona have caused property damage and health problems by
contaminating the soil, groundwater and
13
<PAGE>
air in the area surrounding those facilities. The Baker lawsuit, filed on
February 11, 1992, is a class action, involving six representative individual
named plaintiffs, alleging that Motorola and 27 other defendants contaminated
the soil, air and groundwater in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, diminishing
property values and exposing members of the class to possible adverse health
effects. On August 24, 1994, the Baker court certified two classes, a property
damage class consisting of all persons who since 1987 were residents, property
owners or lessees of property which overlies, or is adjacent to, the alleged
groundwater pollution, and a medical monitoring class consisting of all persons
who resided in Phoenix and/or Scottsdale for more than one year continuously
during the years between 1955 and 1989, and who received potable drinking water
containing trichloroethylene at a level equal to or exceeding 2.0 parts per
billion, on average. The Lofgren, Bentancourt, Ford, Wilkins and Dawson
lawsuits, filed on April 6, 1993, July 16, 1993, June 10, 1994, July 19, 1995
and August 7, 1997, respectively, have been consolidated. The consolidated cases
involve more than 200 plaintiffs, alleging that Motorola and about 25 other
defendants contaminated the soil, air and groundwater in the Phoenix/Scottsdale
area, causing health problems. On June 1, 1998, the Lofgren court ruled
inadmissible proffered testimony from each of the plaintiffs' medical causation
experts and granted summary judgment on those personal injury claims in favor of
Motorola and the other remaining defendants. An appeal is expected.
All seven pending lawsuits described above seek compensatory and punitive
damages. The McIntire complaint includes personal injury and property damage
claims and seeks injunctive relief. The Baker complaint seeks damages for
medical monitoring and alleges claims for property, business and economic loss
and seeks declaratory and injunctive relief. The consolidated Lofgren cases
involve claims for personal injury.
A class action, In Re Nextel Communications Securities Litigation, against
Nextel Communications, Inc., certain of its officers and directors and Motorola
for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, is pending in the United States District Court
for the District of New Jersey. The pending complaint, a consolidation of cases
previously filed against Nextel, was filed on July 11, 1995 and maintains that
the defendants artificially inflated the price of Nextel common stock through a
series of alleged misrepresentations and omissions. Plaintiffs propose a class
period of July 22, 1993 through January 10, 1995 and seek an unspecified amount
of monetary damages.
Motorola and several of its directors and officers are named defendants in a
consolidated class action for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, Kaufman, et. al. v Motorola,
Inc., et. al., which was filed on May 19, 1995 and is pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Plaintiffs claim that
Motorola and the individual defendants inflated the price of Motorola stock by
failing to timely disclose a buildup of cellular phone inventory with its
distributors. The district court has certified a class consisting of purchasers
of Motorola common stock during the period of November 4, 1994 through February
17, 1995. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages.
Motorola has been a defendant in several cases arising out of its manufacture
and sale of portable cellular telephones. Schiffner v. Motorola, Inc., filed on
March 3, 1995 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, is a purported
class action by purchasers of portable cellular phones alleging economic losses.
In January 1999, having exhausted all other appeals, plaintiffs filed a petition
for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court to review the June
1997 Illinois State Court decision to dismiss the case, with prejudice. Jerald
P. Busse, et al. v. Motorola, Inc. et al., filed on October 26, 1995 in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, is a purported class
action alleging that defendants have failed to adequately warn consumers of the
alleged dangers of cellular telephones and challenging ongoing safety studies as
invasions of privacy. All claims have been dismissed on defendants' motion.
Plaintiffs may appeal. Kane, et al., v. Motorola, Inc., et al., filed on
December 13, 1993 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, alleges that
plaintiffs' brain cancer was caused by or aggravated by a prototype
communication device.
On October 16, 1998, the plaintiffs in Pennsylvania Bancshares, Inc. et al. v.
Motorola, Inc., et al., a purported class action filed on October 10, 1995 in
the Court of Common Pleas, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, filed a notice of
voluntary dismissal with prejudice as to all claims for monetary relief and
without prejudice as to all claims for equitable relief. Plaintiffs alleged
that Motorola systematically engages in deceptive trade practices, including
without limitation, intentionally misrepresenting the quality of certain types
of cellular telephones. The dismissal is currently before the court for
decision. Silber, et al. v. Motorola, Inc., et al., filed on August 1, 1995 in
the Supreme Court of The State of New York, County of Suffolk, which was
transferred from the County of New York, is an action wherein it is alleged that
a traffic accident was caused by the use of a cellular phone.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from
serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation
therefor.
Section 5. Committees of Directors. The Board of Directors may, by
--------- -----------------------
resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more
committees. Each committee shall consist of one or more of the directors of the

<PAGE>
-2-
the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all
papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power and
authority of the Board of Directors in reference to amending the Certificate of

shareholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the
Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the shareholders a
dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the
Bylaws of the Corporation, and, unless the resolution expressly so provides, no

members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of
the committee.

entered into by the Corporation shall be affected by the fact that a director or
officer of the Corporation is in any way interested in or connected with any
party to such contract or transaction, or himself is a party to such contract or
transaction, even though in the case of a director the vote of the director
having such interest or connection shall have been necessary to obligate the
Corporation upon such contract or transaction; provided, however, that in any
such case (i) the material facts of such interest are known or disclosed to the
directors or shareholders and the contract or transaction is authorized or
approved in good faith by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors or a
committee thereof through the affirmative vote of a majority of the
disinterested directors (even though not a quorum), or (ii) the contract or
transaction is fair to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved
or ratified by the shareholders, or by the Board of Directors, or by a committee
thereof.

Shareholders' Meetings
----------------------
Section 1. Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors may designate any
--------- -----------------
place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting
for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Board of
Directors. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise
called, the place of meeting shall be the principal business office of the
Corporation in the State of Illinois.
Section 2. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall
--------- ---------------
be held on the first Tuesday in the month of May in each year, at the hour of
5:00 o'clock P.M., or at such other day and hour as may be fixed by or under the
authority of the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing directors and
for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If
the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday in the state where
the meeting is to be held, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding
business day. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day
designated herein for the annual meeting of the shareholders, or at any
adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held
at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as is convenient.
Section 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for
--------- ----------------
any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called
by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board of Directors.
Section 4. Voting - Quorum. Each outstanding share, regardless of class,
--------- ---------------
shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of any class or
classes are enlarged, limited or denied by the Certificate of Incorporation or
in the manner therein provided. A majority of the shares entitled to vote,
represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of
shareholders. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter
shall be the act of the shareholders, except that directors shall be elected by
a plurality of the votes of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled
to vote on the election of directors, except as otherwise required by Delaware
law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws. No matter shall be
considered at a meeting of shareholders except upon a motion duly made and
seconded. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at
a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from
time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which
might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.
<PAGE>

Section 5. Adjournment of Meetings. If less than a majority of the
--------- -----------------------
outstanding shares are represented at a meeting of the shareholders, a majority
of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without
further notice. The chairman of a meeting of the shareholders may adjourn the
meeting from time to time without further notice, whether or not less than a
majority of the outstanding shares are represented at the meeting. No notice of
the time and place of adjourned meetings need be given except as required by
law. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of any meeting
of the shareholders commence a new time period for the giving of shareholder
notice of nominations or proposals for other business as described in Section 13
of Article III. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or
represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally called.
Section 6. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may
---------- -------
vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized
attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after three years from the date of
its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
Section 7. Notice of Meetings. Written notice stating the place, day and
--------- ------------------
hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten
days (twenty days if the shareholders are to approve a merger or consolidation
or a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all the Corporation's
assets) nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, either
personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, or
the Secretary, or the officer or persons calling the meeting, to each
shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice
shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, addressed
to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the
Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.
Section 8. Postponement of Meetings. Any previously scheduled meeting of
--------- ------------------------
the shareholders may be postponed by resolution of the Board of Directors upon
public notice given prior to the time previously scheduled for such meeting of
the shareholders. In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement
of any previously scheduled meeting of the shareholders commence a new time
period for the giving of shareholder notice of nominations or proposals for
other business as described in Section 13 of Article III.
Section 9. Cancellation of Meetings. Any special meeting of the
--------- ------------------------
shareholders may be canceled by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public
notice given prior to the time previously scheduled for such meeting of the
shareholders.
Section 10. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the stock
---------- ------------
ledger of the Corporation shall make, at least ten days before each meeting of
shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such
meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the
address of and the number of shares held by each; which list, for a period of
ten days prior to such meeting, shall be kept at the place where the meeting is
to be held, or at another place within the city where the meeting is to be held,
which other place shall be specified in the notice of meeting and the list shall
be subject to inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the
meeting, at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be
produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject
to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. The
original stock ledger shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the
shareholders entitled to examine such list or ledger or to vote at any meeting
of shareholders.
Section 11. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining
---------- ---------------------
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or
any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in
order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the
Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix in advance a date as the record
date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not
more than sixty days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than
ten days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such
determination of shareholders, is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for
the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the
close of business on the date next preceding the date on which notice of the
meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors
declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date
for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders
entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in
this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.
<PAGE>
-4-
Section 12. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Neither treasury shares
---------- -----------------------------------
nor shares of the Corporation held by another corporation, if a majority of the
shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation
is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall be entitled to vote
or to be counted for quorum purposes. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed as limiting the right of the Corporation to vote its own stock held by
it in a fiduciary capacity.
Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign,
may be voted in the name of such corporation by any officer thereof or pursuant
to any proxy executed in the name of such corporation by any officer of such
corporation in the absence of express written notice filed with the Secretary
that such officer has no authority to vote such shares.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator, trustee
in bankruptcy, receiver or assignee for creditors may be voted by him, either in
person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares
standing in the name of a fiduciary may be voted by him, either in person or by
proxy.
A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such
shares unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation the
pledgor has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only
the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon.
Section 13. Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals for
---------- -----------------------------------------------------------
other Business. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
- --------------
and the proposal of business to be transacted by the shareholders may be made at
an annual or special meeting of the shareholders only (a) pursuant to the
Corporation's notice with respect to such meeting, (b) by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors or (c) by any shareholder of the Corporation who was a
shareholder of record on the record date set with respect to such meeting (as
provided for in Section 11 of Article III), who is entitled to vote at the
meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this
Section 13. For nominations or proposals for other business to be properly
brought before an annual or special meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause
(c) above, the shareholder must give timely notice thereof in writing to the
Secretary of the Corporation and such business must be a proper matter for
shareholder action under the Delaware General Corporation Law and a proper
matter for consideration at such meeting under the Certificate of Incorporation
and these Bylaws. For such notice to be timely, it must be delivered to the
Secretary at the principal business office of the Corporation not earlier than
the 120th day prior to the date of such meeting and (a) in the case of an annual
meeting of shareholders, at least 45 days before the date on which the
Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting
of shareholders and (b) in the case of a special meeting, not later than the
close of business on the later of (i) the 60th day prior to the date of such
meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of
the date of such meeting is first made. If such shareholder notice relates to a
proposal by such shareholder to nominate one or more persons for election or re-
election as a director, it shall set forth all information relating to each such
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election
of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")
(including, if and to the extent so required, such person's written consent to
being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if
elected). If such shareholder notice relates to any other business that the
shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, it shall set forth a brief
description of such business, the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made. Each such
notice shall also set forth as to the shareholder giving the notice and the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i)
the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Corporation's
books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by
such shareholder and such beneficial owner. Persons nominated by shareholders
to serve as directors of the Corporation who have not been nominated in
accordance with this Section 13 shall not be eligible to serve as directors.
Only such business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting of
shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with
this Section 13. The chairman of the meeting shall determine whether a
nomination or any business proposed to be transacted by the shareholders has
been properly brought before the meeting and, if any proposed nomination or
business has not been properly brought before the meeting, the chairman shall
declare that such proposed business or nomination shall not be presented for
shareholder action at the meeting. For purposes of this Section 13, "public
announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones
News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 13 to the contrary, requests for
inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement made pursuant to
Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act shall be deemed to have been delivered in a
timely manner if delivered in accordance with such Rule. Notwithstanding
<PAGE>
-5-
compliance with the requirements of this Section 13, the chairman presiding at
any meeting of the shareholders may, in his sole discretion, refuse to allow a
shareholder or shareholder representative to present any proposal which the
Corporation would not be required to include in a proxy statement under any rule
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

urgent business is to be transacted at the meeting (which decision shall be
conclusively demonstrated by his giving notice of the meeting less than 24 hours
prior to the meeting), then at least 2 hours' prior notice shall be given. If
notice is given by telegram or courier, such notice shall be deemed to be given
when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company or courier company and
any personal notice shall be deemed given when given. Any director may waive
notice of any meeting. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a
meeting and objects thereat to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board
of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting.
Section 4. Quorum. One-third of the number of directors fixed by, or
--------- ------
pursuant to, Section 2 of Article II shall constitute a quorum for the

written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the
meeting before the adjournment thereof or forwards such dissent by registered
mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of
the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in
favor of such action.
Section 7. Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Any action required to
--------- -------------------------------------
be taken at a meeting of directors, or at a meeting of a committee of directors,
or any other action which may be taken at a meeting, may be taken without a
meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be
signed by all of the directors or members of the committee thereof entitled to
vote with respect to the subject matter thereof and filed with the minutes of
proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee and such consent shall have
the same force and effect as a unanimous vote.

may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has
signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall
have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such

as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

Corporation, to the extent deemed necessary by the Secretary or Treasurer, a
bond of indemnity with one or more sureties satisfactory to the Secretary, and
in an amount which, in his judgment, shall be sufficient to save the Corporation
from loss, and thereupon the proper officer or officers may cause to be issued a

vote of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation
amount of the Common Securities that the relevant Super Majority
represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
outstanding;
provided further, that each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have
waived any such Event of Default and all Events of Default with respect to the
Common Securities and the consequences thereof until all Events of Default with
respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise
eliminated, and until such Events of Default with respect to the Preferred
Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property
Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of the

Default with respect to the Common Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured for every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default with respect
to the Common Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.

defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults"
for the purposes of this Section 2.7(a) being hereby defined to be an Event of
Default as defined in the Indenture, not including any periods of grace provided

authorized by this Declaration. In particular, the Trust shall not and the

that such modification will not cause more than an
insubstantial risk that for United States federal income tax
purposes the Trust will not be classified as a grantor trust.
SECTION III.8 Powers and Duties of the Property Trustee.

(ii) engage in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or
appropriate to effect the redemption of the Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities to the extent the
Debentures are redeemed or mature; and

compromise, arbitration or adjustment of claims or demands, the Property Trustee
shall take any Legal Action which arises out of or in connection with an Event
of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee has actual
knowledge or the Property Trustee's duties and obligations under this
Declaration or the Trust Indenture Act.
(f) The Property Trustee shall continue to serve as a Trustee until

rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Debentures under the Indenture and,
if an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property
Trustee occurs and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall, for the benefit of
Holders of the Securities, enforce its rights, including, without limitation,
its rights under the Indenture as holder of the Debentures and its rights under
the Preferred Securities Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Preferred
Securities Guarantee, subject to the rights of the Holders pursuant to the terms
of such Securities and the Preferred Securities Guarantee.

"Paying Agent") to pay Distributions, redemption payments or liquidation
payments on behalf of the Trust with respect to all Securities and any such
Paying Agent shall comply with Section 317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any
Paying Agent may be removed by the Property Trustee at any time and a successor
Paying Agent or additional Paying Agents may be appointed at any time by the

degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent

curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have
occurred:

hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a
duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Declaration;

remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this
Declaration;
13
<PAGE>
(iv) no provision of this Declaration shall require the Property
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
personal financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it

of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it
under the terms of this Declaration or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Property Trustee against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it;
(v) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and
the Property Trustee Account shall be to deal with such

similar property for its own account, subject to the
protections and limitations on liability afforded to the
Property Trustee under this Declaration and the Trust Indenture
Act;
(vi) the Property Trustee shall have no duty or liability for or
with respect to the value, genuineness, existence or
sufficiency of the Debentures or the payment of any taxes or

Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.8(c)(i) and except to
the extent otherwise required by law; and
(viii) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring

expenses and expenses of the Property Trustee's agents,
nominees or custodians) and liabilities that might be incurred
by it in complying with such request or direction, including
such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Property

upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation
to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Declaration;

investigation into the facts or matters stated in any

compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this
Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by
the Property Trustee's or its agent's taking such action; and

Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with
respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other

trust for United States federal income tax purposes or each Holder of the
Securities to be treated as owning an undivided beneficial interest in the
Debentures.
SECTION III.16 Property Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the

empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:

of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the

Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

vacancy by the Regular Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of
the Regular Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of the existence of such
vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance
with Section 5.7.
SECTION V.9 Effect of Vacancies. The death, resignation, retirement,
-------------------
removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to

number, shall have all the powers granted to the Regular Trustees and shall

21
<PAGE>

place and anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person
or by telephone) of a Regular Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting except where a Regular Trustee attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground
that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of the

In the event there is only one Regular Trustee, any and all action of such
Regular Trustee shall be evidenced by a written consent of such Regular Trustee.

such of their number or to officers of the Trust the doing of such things and
the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names

to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to
the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein.

business of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be,
shall be the successor of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the
case may be, hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

payment of interest (including Compounded Interest (as defined in the Indenture)
and Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)), premium and/or principal
on the Debentures held by the Property Trustee (the amount of any such payment

"Distribution") of the Payment Amount to Holders.
ARTICLE VII
ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES
SECTION VII.1 General Provisions Regarding Securities.
---------------------------------------
(a) The Regular Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust cause to be issued
one class of preferred securities (the "Preferred Securities") representing
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having such terms as

of this Declaration. The Trust shall issue no securities or other interests in
the assets of the Trust other than the Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities.

Trustee. Such signature shall be the manual or facsimile signature of any
present or any future Regular Trustee. In case any Regular Trustee of the Trust
22
<PAGE>
who shall have signed any of the Certificates shall cease to be such Regular
Trustee before the Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such
Certificates nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such
Certificate had not ceased to be such Regular Trustee; and any Certificate may
be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the actual date of
execution of such Certificate, shall be the Regular Trustees of the Trust,
although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such
person was not such a Regular Trustee. Certificates shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably
acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and
may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation
and such legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem appropriate,
or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation of
any stock exchange on which Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.
(c) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the
Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall
not constitute a loan to the Trust.
(d) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the
Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable and shall not be subject to any preferential subscription or pre-
emptive rights (subject to Section 10.1(b) with respect to the Common
Securities).
(e) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a Preferred
Security Beneficial Owner in accordance with the terms of this Declaration,
shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall
be bound by, this Declaration and the terms of the Securities, the Preferred
Securities Guarantee, the Indenture and the Debentures.

redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof
shall have been paid to the Holders in accordance with the
terms of the Securities;

Property Trustee shall execute and file a certificate of cancellation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and thereupon the Trust shall

ARTICLE IX
TRANSFER OF INTERESTS
SECTION IX.1 Transfer of Securities.
----------------------
(a) Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in the terms of
the Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Security not made in
accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void.
(b) Subject to this Article IX, Preferred Securities shall be freely
transferable.
(c) Subject to this Article IX, the Sponsor and any Related Party may only
transfer Common Securities to the Sponsor or a Related Party of the Sponsor;
provided that, any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent that the
transferor obtain the written opinion of qualified independent counsel
experienced in such matters that such transfer would not cause more than an
insubstantial risk that:
(i) the Trust would not be classified for United States federal
income tax purposes as a grantor trust and each Holder of
Securities would not be treated as owning an undivided
beneficial interest in the Debentures; and
(ii) the Trust would be an Investment Company or the transferee would
become an Investment Company.
SECTION IX.2 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The Regular Trustees
-------------------------------------
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers or exchanges
of Certificates, which will be effected without charge but only upon payment
(with such indemnity as the Regular Trustees may require) in respect of any tax
or other government charges that may be imposed in relation to it. Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Regular Trustees
shall cause one or more new Certificates to be issued in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees. Upon surrender for exchange of any
Certificate, the Regular Trustees shall cause one or more new Certificates in
the same aggregate liquidation amount as the Certificate surrendered for
exchange to be issued in the name of the Holder of the Certificate so
surrendered. Every Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Regular Trustees duly executed by the Holder or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange shall be canceled by the Regular
Trustees. A transferee of a Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and
subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such
transferee of a Certificate. By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee
shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.
SECTION IX.3 Deemed Security Holders. The Trustees may treat the Person
-----------------------
in whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and records of
the Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the Securities
represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving Distributions and for
all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize
any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Certificate or in the
Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or
not the Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof.
SECTION IX.4 Book Entry Interests. Unless otherwise specified in the
--------------------
terms of the Preferred Securities, the Preferred Securities Certificates, on
original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered,
global Preferred Security Certificates (each, a "Global Certificate"), to be
delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by,
24
<PAGE>
or on behalf of, the Trust. Such Global Certificates shall initially be
registered on the books and records of the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the
nominee of DTC, and no Preferred Security Beneficial Owner will receive a
definitive Preferred Security Certificate representing such Preferred Security
Beneficial Owner's interests in such Global Certificates, except as provided in
Section 9.7. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Preferred Security
Certificates (the "Definitive Preferred Security Certificates") have been issued
to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.7:
(a) the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall be in full force and effect;
(b) the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing
Agency for all purposes of this Declaration (including the payment of
Distributions on the Global Certificates and receiving approvals, votes or
consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Preferred Securities and the sole
holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Preferred
Security Beneficial Owners;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4 conflict with
any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section 9.4
shall control; and
(d) the rights of the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Preferred Security Beneficial
Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. DTC
will make book entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit payments of Distributions on the Global Certificates to
such Clearing Agency Participants.
SECTION IX.5 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
--------------------------
communication to the Preferred Security Holders is required under this
Declaration, unless and until Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall
have been issued to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
9.7, the Regular Trustees or the Property Trustee, if the Property Trustee is
specifically required to give such notice, shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to the Preferred Security Holders to
the Clearing Agency, and shall have no notice obligations to the Preferred
Security Beneficial Owners.
SECTION IX.6 Appointment of Successor Clearing Agency. If any Clearing
----------------------------------------
Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities depository with respect
to the Preferred Securities or if the Regular Trustees elect to have another
Clearing Agency serve as securities depository with respect to the Preferred
Securities, the Regular Trustees may, in their sole discretion, appoint a
successor Clearing Agency with respect to such Preferred Securities.
SECTION IX.7 Definitive Preferred Security Certificates. If:
------------------------------------------
(a) a Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities
depository with respect to the Preferred Securities and a successor Clearing
Agency is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to
Section 9.6; or
(b) the Regular Trustees elect after consultation with the Sponsor to
terminate the book entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the
Preferred Securities, then:
(i) Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall be prepared by
the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with respect to
such Preferred Securities; and
(ii) upon surrender of the Global Certificates by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Regular
Trustees shall cause Definitive Preferred Security Certificates
to be delivered to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.
Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and each of them may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
said instructions of the Clearing Agency. The Definitive
Preferred Security Certificates shall be printed, lithographed
or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is
reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by
25
<PAGE>
their execution thereof, and may have such letters, numbers
or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem
appropriate, or as may be required to comply with any law or
with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with
any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which
Preferred Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.
SECTION IX.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If:
-------------------------------------------------
(a) any mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the Regular
Trustees, or if the Regular Trustees shall receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and
(b) there shall be delivered to the Regular Trustees such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to keep each of them, the Sponsor and the
Trust harmless, then, in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have
been acquired by a protected purchaser, any Regular Trustee on behalf of the
Trust shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 9.8, the Regular Trustees 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 Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant
Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
ARTICLE X

HOLDERS OF SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS
SECTION X.1 Liability.

(i) personally liable for the return of any portion of the capital
contributions (or any return thereon) of the Holders of the
Securities which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust;
and
(ii) be required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of Securities

liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
SECTION X.2 Exculpation.
-----------
(a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or accountable in
damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered Person for any loss, damage or
claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such
Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such
Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority
conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration or by law, except that
an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim
incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's gross negligence (ordinary
negligence in the case of the Property Trustee) or willful misconduct with
respect to such acts or omissions.
26
<PAGE>
(b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good
faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports
or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the Indemnified
Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert
competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the
Trust, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value
and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses or any other facts
pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to
Holders of Securities might properly be paid.
SECTION X.3 Fiduciary Duty.
--------------
(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has
duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Trust or to any Covered Person, an Indemnified Person acting under this
Declaration shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Covered Person for its
good faith reliance on the provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of
this Declaration, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of
an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity (other than the
duties imposed on the Property Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are
agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of
such Indemnified Person.
(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:
(i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between any
Covered Persons; or
(ii) whenever this Declaration or any other agreement contemplated
herein or therein provides that an Indemnified Person shall act
in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and
reasonable to the Trust or any Holder of Securities,
the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action
or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each
party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or
situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary
or accepted industry practices and any applicable generally accepted accounting
practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Indemnified Person,
the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Indemnified
Person shall not constitute a breach of this Declaration or any other agreement
contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Indemnified Person at
law or in equity or otherwise; and
(c) Whenever in this Declaration an Indemnified Person is permitted or
required to make a decision:
(i) in its "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority, the
Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider such interests
and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and
shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to
any interest of or factors affecting the Trust or any other
Person; or
(ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard, the
Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and
shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed
by this Declaration or by applicable law.
SECTION X.4 Indemnification and Compensation.
--------------------------------
(a) (i) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any Company Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the Trust) by reason of the fact that he is or was
a Company Indemnified Person against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
27
<PAGE>
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Company
Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
(ii) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any Company Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the Trust to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he
is or was a Company Indemnified Person against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Trust and except that no such indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Company
Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Trust unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery
of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or
such other court shall deem proper.
(iii) Any indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this
Section 10.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by
the Sponsor only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the Company Indemnified
Person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and
(ii). Such determination shall be made (1) by the Regular
Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of such
Regular Trustees who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or
(3) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.
(iv) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Company
Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a)
shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified
Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Sponsor as authorized in this Section 10.4(a). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Sponsor if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the
Regular Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum of
disinterested Regular Trustees, (ii) if such a quorum is not
obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of
disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion or (iii) the Common Security
Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to the
Regular Trustees, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the
time such determination is made, such Company Indemnified
Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did
not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that
such Company Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall
any advance be made in instances where the Regular Trustees,
independent legal counsel or Common Security Holder reasonably
determine that such person deliberately breached his duty to
the Trust or its Common or Preferred Security Holders.
(v) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section
10.4(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses
may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors of the Debenture Issuer or Preferred
Security Holders of the Trust or otherwise, both as to action
in his official capacity
28
<PAGE>
and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
All rights to indemnification under this Section 10.4(a) shall
be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Debenture
Issuer and each Company Indemnified Person who serves in such
capacity at any time while this Section 10.4(a) is in effect.
Any repeal or modification of this Section 10.4(a) shall not
affect any rights or obligations then existing.
(vi) The Debenture Issuer or the Trust may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Company
Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against him

defend the Property Trustee, the Trust Company and the Delaware Trustee and
their respective directors, officers, employees or agents for, and to hold each
of them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
negligence (or in the case of the Trust Company or the Delaware Trustee, gross

have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent ventures
or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture,
even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful
or improper. No Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Trust Company, the Delaware
Trustee, the Regular Trustees or the Property Trustee shall be obligated to
present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such
opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by
the Trust, and any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Trust Company, the Delaware

ARTICLE XI
ACCOUNTING
SECTION XI.1 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year ("Fiscal Year") of the Trust
-----------
shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.
SECTION XI.2 Certain Accounting Matters.
--------------------------
(a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Regular Trustees
shall keep, or cause to be kept, full books of account, records and supporting
documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail, each transaction of the
Trust. The books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of
accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Trust shall use the accrual method of accounting for United States federal
income tax purposes. The books of account and the records of the Trust shall be
examined by and reported upon as of the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust by
a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Regular
Trustees.
(b) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered to
each of the Holders of Securities, any annual United States federal income tax
information statement, required by the Code, containing such information with
regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is required by the Code and the
Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding any right under the Code to deliver any
such statement at a later date, the Regular Trustees shall endeavor to deliver
all such statements within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the
Trust.
(c) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and filed with
the appropriate taxing authority, an annual United States federal income tax
return, on a Form 1041 or such other form required by United States federal
income tax law, and any other annual income tax returns required to be filed by
the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with any state or local taxing
authority.
SECTION XI.3 Banking. The Trust shall maintain one or more bank accounts
-------
in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however, that all
payments of funds in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee
shall be made directly to the Property Trustee Account and no other funds of the
Trust shall be deposited in the Property Trustee Account. The sole signatories
for such accounts shall be designated by the Regular Trustees; provided,
however, that the Property Trustee shall designate the signatories for the
Property Trustee Account.
SECTION XI.4 Withholding. The Trust and the Regular Trustees shall
-----------
comply with all withholding requirements under United States federal, state and
local law. The Trust shall request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust,
such forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from
withholding with respect to each Holder, and any representations and forms as
shall reasonably be requested by the Trust to assist it in determining the
extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Regular Trustees
shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption
from withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts
withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent
that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority
with respect to distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount withheld
30
<PAGE>
shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding to the
Holder. In the event of any claim over withholding, Holders shall be limited to
an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required to be
withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made, the Trust may reduce
subsequent Distributions by the amount of such withholding. To the extent the
Property Trustee performs the functions provided for in this section, the
Regular Trustees shall direct the Property Trustee in carrying out such
functions.

Consent.

to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of Securities
are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of the
Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities
are listed or admitted for trading. The Regular Trustees shall call a meeting of
the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders of at least 10% in
Liquidation Amount of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be given by
delivering to the Regular Trustees one or more calls in a writing stating that
the signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the
general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders
of Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Certificates held

those Securities specified shall be counted for purposes of determining whether
the required percentage set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has
been met.

Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of
Securities:
(i) notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders of
Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and not
more than 60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a
vote, consent or approval of the Holders of Securities is
permitted or required under this Declaration or the rules of any
stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed or
admitted for trading, such vote, consent or approval may be given
at a meeting of the Holders of Securities. Any action that may
be taken at a meeting of the Holders of
32
<PAGE>
Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in
writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the
Holders of Securities owning not less than the minimum amount of
Securities in liquidation amount that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders
of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and
voting. Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting
shall be given to the Holders of Securities entitled to vote who
have not consented in writing. The Regular Trustees may specify
that any written ballot submitted to the Security Holders for
the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be
returned to the Trust within the time specified by the Regular
Trustees;
(ii) each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for it
by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Securities is

unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be
revocable at the pleasure of the Holder of Securities executing
such proxy. Except as otherwise provided herein, all matters
relating to the giving, voting or validity of proxies shall be
governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as
if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the
Securities were stockholders of a Delaware corporation;
(iii) each meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall be conducted
by the Regular Trustees or by such other Person that the Regular
Trustees may designate; and
(iv) unless the Business Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms of

any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then

ANNEX I
TERMS OF
6.68% TRUST ORIGINATED PREFERRED SECURITIES
6.68% TRUST ORIGINATED COMMON SECURITIES
Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust,
dated as of February 3, 1999 (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"),
the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms
and provisions of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities are set forth
below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning set
forth in the Declaration or, if not defined in the Declaration, as defined in
the Prospectus referred to below):
1. Designation and Number.
----------------------
(a) PREFERRED SECURITIES. Up to 20,000,000 Preferred Securities of the
Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the
Trust of up to Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) and a liquidation
amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $25 per Preferred Security,
are hereby designated for the
36
<PAGE>
purposes of identification only as "6.68% Trust Originated Preferred
SecuritiesSM (TOPrSSM)" (the "Preferred Securities"). The Preferred Security
Certificates evidencing the Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-1 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto
or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice
or to conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred
Securities are listed.
(b) COMMON SECURITIES. Up to 618,557 Common Securities of the Trust with
an aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of up to
Fifteen Million Four Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Five
Dollars ($15,463,925) and a liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the
Trust of $25 per Common Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of
identification only as "6.68% Trust Originated Common Securities" (the "Common
Securities"). The Common Security Certificates evidencing the Common Securities
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such
changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by
ordinary usage, custom or practice.
2. Distributions.
-------------
(a) Distributions payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate per
annum of 6.68% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per
Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be
held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears will bear interest
thereon from and including the last day of such quarter at the Coupon Rate
compounded quarterly (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions" as used herein includes such cash distributions and any such
interest 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 available therefor.
The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full
quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for
which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed per 90-day quarter.
(b) Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from
February 3, 1999, and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June
30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 1999,
except as otherwise described below. The Debenture Issuer has the right under
the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the
interest payment period at any time and from time to time for a period not
exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (each such period, an "Extension Period"),
during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable on the
Debentures, provided that no Extension Period shall last beyond the date of
maturity of the Debentures. As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions
will also be deferred. Despite such deferral, quarterly Distributions will
continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable
law) at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period.
Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may
further extend such Extension Period, provided that such Extension Period,
together with all such previous and further extensions thereof, may not exceed
20 consecutive quarters and may not extend beyond the date of maturity of the
Debentures. Payments of deferred Distributions will be payable to Holders of
record of the Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on
the record date for Distributions due at the end of such 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.
(c) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof
as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record
dates. While the Preferred Securities remain in global form, the relevant
record dates shall be one Business Day prior to the relevant payment dates which
payment dates correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures.
Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the
Declaration, each such payment in respect of the Preferred Securities will be
made as described under the heading "Description of the Preferred Securities --
Book-Entry Issuance -- The Depository Trust Company" in the Prospectus dated
January 29, 1999 (the "Prospectus") included in the Registration Statement on
Form S-3 of the Sponsor and the Trust. The relevant record dates for the Common
Securities shall be the same record date as for the Preferred Securities. If
the Preferred Securities shall not continue to remain in global form, the
relevant record dates for the Preferred Securities shall conform to the rules of
any securities exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed and, if
none, shall be selected by the Regular Trustees, which dates shall be at least
ten Business Days but less than 60 Business Days before the relevant payment
dates, which payment dates correspond to the interest payment dates on the
Debentures.
37
<PAGE>
Distributions payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any
Distribution payment date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed to
make a payment under the Debentures, will cease to be payable to the Person in
whose name such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such
defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such
Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date
determined in accordance with the Indenture. If any date on which Distributions
are payable on the Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in then next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date.
(d) In the event that there is any money or other property held by or for
the Trust that is not accounted for hereunder, such property shall be
distributed Pro Rata (as defined herein) among the Holders of the Securities.
3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution.
-----------------------------------------
(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
winding-up or termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Securities on the
date of the liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may
be, will be entitled to receive solely out of the assets of the Trust available
for distribution to Holders of Securities, after satisfaction of all claims and
obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Business
Trust Act, an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of
$25 per Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of
payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in
connection with such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination,
Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated
liquidation amount of such Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon
Rate of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the
accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Securities, shall be distributed on a
Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities
in accordance with Section 4(e) hereof.
(b) If, upon any such dissolution, 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 the amounts payable directly
by the Trust on the Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis.
4. Redemption and Distribution.
---------------------------
(a) Upon the repayment of the Debentures in whole or in part, whether at
maturity or upon acceleration, redemption (such redemption being either at the
option of the Debenture Issuer on or after February 3, 2004 or at the option of
the Debenture Issuer in connection with the occurrence of a Special Event as
described below) or otherwise, the proceeds from such repayment or redemption
shall be simultaneously applied to redeem Securities having an aggregate
liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so
repaid or redeemed at a redemption price of $25 per Security plus an amount
equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon at the date of the redemption,
payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). Holders will be given not less than
30 nor more than 60 days notice of such redemption, except in the case of
payments upon maturity.
(b) If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so redeemed,
the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata and
the Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be as described in Section 4(f)(ii)
below.
(c) If, at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as
defined below, and each a "Special Event") shall occur and be continuing, the
Debenture Issuer shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days notice, to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part for cash within 90
days following the occurrence of such Special Event, and, following such
redemption, Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so redeemed shall be redeemed by
the Trust at the Redemption Price on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with Section
8 hereof. The Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata with the Preferred
Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Preferred Securities will have priority over the Common Securities with
respect to payment of the Redemption Price.
38
<PAGE>
"Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion
of an independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as
a result of (i) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective
change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (ii) any
official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or
applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or
such pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original
issuance of the Preferred Securities, there is more than an insubstantial risk
that (A) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days after the date thereof, subject
to United States federal income tax with respect to interest accrued or received
on the Debentures, (B) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days after the date
thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other
governmental charges or (C) interest payable by the Debenture Issuer to the
Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof, will not
be deductible, in whole or in part, by the Debenture Issuer for United States
federal income tax purposes.
"Investment Company Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have
received an opinion of an independent counsel experienced in practice under the
Investment Company Act to the effect that, as a result of the occurrence of a
change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or application of law
or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
authority(a "Change in 1940 Act Law"), there is a more than an insubstantial
risk that the Trust is or will be considered an "investment company" which is
required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, which Change in 1940
Act Law becomes effective on or after the date of original issuance of the
Preferred Securities.
(d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Securities
unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all Securities for
all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or before the date of
redemption.
(e) In the event that the Sponsor makes the election referred to in
Section 8.1(a)(v) of the Declaration, the Regular Trustees shall dissolve the
Trust and, after satisfaction of creditors, cause Debentures, held by the
Property Trustee, having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
stated liquidation amount of, with an interest rate identical to the Coupon Rate
of, and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on
and having the same record date for payment, as the Securities, to be
distributed to the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of such Holders'
interests in the Trust on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with Section 8 hereof.
On and from the date fixed by the Regular Trustees for any distribution of
Debentures and dissolution of the Trust: (i) the Securities will no longer be
deemed to be outstanding and (ii) the Clearing Agency or its nominee (or any
successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) will receive one or more global
certificate or certificates representing the Debentures to be delivered upon
such distribution, and having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregated stated liquidation amount of, with an interest rate identical to the
Coupon Rate of, and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid
Distributions on such Securities. Any certificates representing Securities,
except for certificates representing Preferred Securities held by the Clearing
Agency or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), will be
deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregated stated liquidation amount of, with an
interest rate identical to the Coupon Rate of, and accrued and unpaid interest
equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Securities until such
certificates are presented to the Debenture Issuer or its agent for transfer or
reissue. If the Debentures are distributed to Holders of the Securities,
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Debenture Issuer will use its best
efforts to have the Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such
other exchange as the Preferred Securities were listed immediately prior to the
distribution of the Debentures.
(f) Redemption or Distribution Procedures.
-------------------------------------
(i) Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of
Debentures in exchange for, the Securities (a
"Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the Trust by
mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not
fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for
redemption or exchange thereof which, in the case of a
redemption, will be the date fixed for redemption of the
Debentures. For purposes of the calculation of the date of
redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given
pursuant to this Section 4(f)(i), a Redemption/Distribution
Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is
first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of
Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be
addressed to the Holders of Securities at the address
39
<PAGE>
of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the
Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the
mailing of either thereof with respect to any Holder shall
affect the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings
with respect to any other Holder.
(ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Securities are
to be redeemed, the Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be
redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Preferred Securities, it
being understood that, in respect of Preferred Securities
registered in the name of and held of record by the Clearing
Agency or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its
nominee), the distribution of the proceeds of such redemption
will be made to each Clearing Agency Participant (or Person on
whose behalf such nominee holds such securities) in accordance
with the procedures applied by such agency or nominee.
(iii) If Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
Redemption/Distribution Notice (which notice will be
irrevocable), then (A) while the Preferred Securities are in
global form, with respect to the Preferred Securities, by 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, provided that
the Debenture Issuer has paid the Property Trustee a sufficient
amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or
maturity of the Debentures, the Property Trustee will deposit
irrevocably with the Clearing Agency or its nominee (or
successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) funds sufficient to
pay the applicable Redemption Price with respect to the
Preferred Securities and will give the Clearing Agency
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities, and (B) with
respect to Preferred Securities issued in definitive form and
Common Securities, provided that the Debenture Issuer has paid
the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection
with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the
Property Trustee will pay the relevant Redemption Price to the
Holders of such Securities by check mailed to the address of the
relevant Holder appearing on the books and records of the Trust
on the redemption date. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice
shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
deposit, Distributions will cease to accrue on the Securities so
called for redemption and all rights of Holders of such
Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right
of the Holders of such Securities to receive the Redemption
Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price. Neither
the Regular Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register
or cause to be registered the transfer of any Securities that
have been so called for redemption. If any date fixed for
redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of
the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except
that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such
payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day,
in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such
date fixed for redemption. If the Debenture Issuer fails to
repay the Debentures on the date of redemption or on maturity or
if payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Securities
is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the
Property Trustee or by the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the
relevant Securities Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities
will continue to accrue at the then applicable rate from the
original redemption date to the actual date of payment, in which
case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed
for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.
(iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Regular
Trustees on behalf of the Trust to (A) in respect of the
Preferred Securities, the Clearing Agency or its nominee (or any
successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) if the Global
Certificates have been issued or, if Definitive Preferred
Security Certificates have been issued, to the Holders thereof,
and (B) in respect of the Common Securities to the Holder
thereof.
40
<PAGE>
(v) Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without
limitation, United States federal securities laws), the Sponsor
or any of its subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time
purchase outstanding Preferred Securities by tender offer, in the
open market or by private agreement.
5. Voting Rights - Preferred Securities.
------------------------------------
(a) Except as provided under Sections 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise required
by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have no
voting rights.
(b) Subject to the requirements set forth in this paragraph, the Holders
of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, voting
separately as a class, may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or direct the
exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the
Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as Holder of
the Debentures, to: (i) exercise the remedies available under the Indenture with
respect to the Debentures; (ii) waive any past default and its consequences that
is waivable under the Indenture; or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul
a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable,
or consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
Debentures, where such consent would be required; provided that where a consent
or action under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the Holders of
greater than a majority in principal amount of Debentures affected thereby (a
"Super Majority"), the Property Trustee may only give such consent or take such
action at the written direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in
liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities which the relevant Super Majority
represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. The
Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved
by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to
directing the time, method and place of conducting a proceeding for any remedy
available to the Property Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above,
the Property Trustee shall not take any action in accordance with the directions
of the Holders of the Preferred Securities under this paragraph unless the
Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for
the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action. If the
Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights with respect to the Debentures held
by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Holder of the
outstanding Preferred Securities may, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
institute legal proceedings directly against the Debenture Issuer to enforce the
Property Trustee's rights under the Debentures without first instituting any
legal proceedings against the Property Trustee or any other person or entity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under the Declaration has
occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the
Debenture Issuer to pay interest or principal on the Debentures issued to the
Trust on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable, then a Holder
of Preferred Securities may institute a proceeding directly against the
Debenture Issuer for enforcement of payment to the Holder of the Preferred
Securities of the principal of or interest on the Debentures on or after the
respective due dates specified in the Debentures, and the amount of the payment
will be based on the Holder's pro rata share of the amount due and owing on all
of the Preferred Securities.
Any approval or direction of Holders of Preferred Securities may be given
at a separate meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened for such
purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the Trust or
pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any
meeting at which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of any
matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to
be mailed to each Holder of Preferred Securities. Each such notice will include
a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such
action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for
adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such
matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the
delivery of proxies or consents.
No vote or consent of the Holders of the Preferred Securities will be
required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Preferred Securities or to
distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of
the Securities.
Notwithstanding that Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote
or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the Preferred
Securities that are owned by the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor shall
not be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or
consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding.

<PAGE>
6. Voting Rights - Common Securities.
---------------------------------
(a) Except as provided under Sections 6(b) and (c) and as otherwise
required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Common Securities will
have no voting rights.
(b) The Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in accordance with
Article V of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any Trustee
or to increase or decrease the number of Trustees.
(c) Subject to Section 2.6 of the Declaration and only after any Event of
Default with respect to the Preferred Securities has been cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements set forth in this
paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common
Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time, method and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee,
or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee
under the Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as
Holder of the Debentures, to: (i) exercise the remedies available under the
Indenture with respect to the Debentures; (ii) waive any past default and its
consequences that is waivable under the Indenture; or (iii) exercise any right
to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall
be due and payable, or consent to any amendment, modification or termination of
the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent would be required; provided
that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would require the consent or
act of a Super Majority of the Holders of the Debentures affected thereby, the
Property Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the written
direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the
Common Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. The Property Trustee shall not
revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of
the Common Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method
and place of conducting a proceeding for any remedy available to the Property
Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the Property Trustee shall
not take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the
Common Securities under this paragraph unless the Property Trustee has obtained
an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for the purposes of United States
federal income tax the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor
trust on account of such action. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its
rights with respect to the Debentures held by the Trust, any Holder of Common
Securities may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, institute legal
proceedings directly against the Debenture Issuer to enforce the Property
Trustee's rights under the Debentures without first instituting any legal
proceedings against the Property Trustee or any other person or entity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under the Declaration
has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of
the Debenture Issuer to pay interest or principal on the Debentures issued to
the Trust on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable, then a
Holder of Common Securities may institute a proceeding directly against the
Debenture Issuer for enforcement of payment to the Holder of the Common
Securities of the principal of or interest on the Debentures on or after the
respective due dates specified in the Debentures, and the amount of the payment
will be based on the Holder's pro rata share of the amount due and owing on all
of the Common Securities.
Any approval or direction of Holders of Common Securities may be given at a
separate meeting of Holders of Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a
meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written
consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which
Holders of Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which
action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each
Holder of Common Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting
forth: (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be
taken; (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such
meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which
written consent is sought; and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or
consents.
No vote or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities will be required
for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities or to distribute the
Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the Securities.
7. Amendments to Declaration and Indenture.
---------------------------------------

(a) In addition to any requirements under Section 12.1 of the Declaration,
if any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular
Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect
the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of
amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up
or termination of the Trust, other than as described in Section 8.1 of the
Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities voting together as a
single class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal (but not on
any other 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 Securities affected thereby, voting together as a
single class; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal referred to in
clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or only
the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on
such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of such class of
Securities.
(b) In the event the consent of the Property Trustee as the holder of the
Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Property
Trustee shall request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities
with respect to such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with
respect to such amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority
in Liquidation Amount of the Securities voting together as a single class;
provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the
consent of a Super Majority of the Holders of the Debentures, the Property
Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the Holders of at least
the proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities which the relevant Super
Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
outstanding; provided, further, that the Property Trustee shall not take any
action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the Securities under
this Section 7(b) unless the Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax
counsel to the effect that for the purposes of United States federal income tax
the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust on account of
such action.
8. Pro Rata.
--------
A reference in these terms of the Securities to any payment, distribution
or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder of
Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held
by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all
Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default
under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds
available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the
Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of
Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate
liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after
satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities, to
each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation
amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the
aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding. When the
Property Trustee is making payments on the Securities, it is entitled to assume
that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Event of
Default is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee.
9. Ranking.
-------
The Preferred Securities rank pari passu and payment thereon shall be made
Pro Rata with the Common Securities except that, where an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing under the Indenture in respect of the Debentures held
by the Property Trustee, the rights of Holders of the Common Securities to
payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption
and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities.

Securities to be listed for quotation on The New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has executed this certificate this ____ day
of _____________, 1999.
MOTOROLA CAPITAL TRUST I
By:___________________________________
Name:
Title:
Distributions payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of 6.68% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25
per Preferred 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 quarter will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Coupon
Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as
used herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest 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 available therefor. The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly
Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and
for any period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for which
Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed per 90-day quarter.
Except as otherwise described below, distributions on the Preferred
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 1999, which payment dates
shall correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures. The Debenture
Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by
extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a
period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters or extending beyond the Maturity
Date of the Debentures (each, an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence of
any such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral,
quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly
during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such Extension Period; provided
that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further
extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters and may not extend
beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Payments of accrued Distributions
will be payable to Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust
on the record date after 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.
The Preferred Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

Distributions payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate per
annum of 6.68% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per
Common 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
quarter will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Coupon Rate (to
the extent permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein
includes such cash distributions and any such interest 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 available therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution
period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any
period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for which Distributions
are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed per 90-day quarter.
Except as otherwise described below, distributions on the Common Securities
will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be
payable quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31
of each year, commencing on March 31, 1999, to Holders of record on a date to be
selected by the Regular Trustees, which dates shall be at least one Business Day
but less than 60 Business Days before the relevant payment dates, which payment
dates shall correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures. The
Debentures Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of
interest by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the
Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (each an
"Extension Period") and, as a consequence of such deferral, Distributions will
also be deferred. Despite such deferral, quarterly Distributions will continue
to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at
the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period. Prior to
the termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further
extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with
all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive
quarters. Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after 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.
The Common Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the Declaration.

------------------------------------------------
(a) This Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be held by the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee on behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities, and the Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall not transfer
this Preferred Securities Guarantee to any Person except a Holder of Preferred
Securities exercising the rights of such Holder pursuant to Section 5.4(b) or to
a Successor Preferred Guarantee Trustee on acceptance by such Successor
Preferred Guarantee Trustee of its appointment to act as Successor Preferred
Guarantee Trustee. The right, title and interest of the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee in and to this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall automatically vest
in any Successor Preferred Guarantee Trustee, and such vesting and cessation of
title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been
executed and delivered pursuant to the appointment of such Successor Preferred
Guarantee Trustee.
(b) If a Guarantee Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer
of the Preferred Guarantee Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee shall enforce this Preferred Securities Guarantee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.
(c) The Preferred Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of any Guarantee
Event of Default and after the curing of all Guarantee Events of Default that
may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Preferred Securities Guarantee, and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Preferred Securities Guarantee against the
Preferred Guarantee Trustee. In case a Guarantee Event of Default has occurred
(that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6) and is actually
known to a Responsible Officer of the Preferred Guarantee Trustee, the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Preferred Securities Guarantee, and use the same degree of care and skill
in its exercise thereof, as a prudent individual would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
(d) No provision of this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be construed
to relieve the Preferred Guarantee Trustee from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except
that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of any Guarantee Event of Default and
after the curing or waiving of all such Guarantee Events of
Default that may have occurred:
(A) the duties and obligations of the Preferred Guarantee Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Preferred Securities Guarantee, and the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Preferred Securities Guarantee, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Preferred Securities
Guarantee against the Preferred Guarantee Trustee; and
(B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee, the Preferred Guarantee Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Preferred
Securities Guarantee; but in the case of any such certificates
or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically
required to be furnished to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee,
the Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to
examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
the requirements of this Preferred Securities Guarantee;
(ii) the Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the
Preferred Guarantee Trustee, unless it shall be proved
5
<PAGE>
that the Preferred Guarantee Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment was
made;
(iii) the Preferred Guarantee 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 Preferred Securities
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Preferred Guarantee Trustee under this Preferred Securities
Guarantee; and
(iv) no provision of this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall require
the Preferred Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if there are reasonable grounds for believing
that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably
assured to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee under the terms of
this Preferred Securities Guarantee or indemnity, reasonably
satisfactory to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee, against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION III.2 Certain Rights of Preferred Guarantee Trustee.
---------------------------------------------
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1:
(i) The Preferred Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall
be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
presented by the proper party or parties.
(ii) Any direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by this
Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be sufficiently evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate.
(iii) Whenever, in the administration of this Preferred Securities
Guarantee, the Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established before taking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Preferred
Guarantee 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
Guarantor.
(iv) The Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to see to any
recording, filing or registration of any instrument (or any
rerecording, refiling or reregistration thereof).
(v) Before the Preferred Guarantee Trustee acts or refrains from
acting, the Preferred Guarantee Trustee may consult with counsel
and the written advice or opinion of such counsel with respect to
legal matters 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 accordance with such advice or
opinion. Such counsel may be counsel to the Guarantor or any of
its Affiliates and may include any of its employees. The
Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall have the right at any time to
seek instructions concerning the administration of this Preferred
Securities Guarantee from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(vi) The Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Preferred Securities Guarantee at the request or direction of any
Holder, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee such security and indemnity, reasonably
satisfactory to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee, against the
costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and the
expenses of the Preferred
6
<PAGE>
Guarantee Trustee's agents, nominees or custodians) and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such
request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may
be requested by the Preferred Guarantee Trustee; provided that
nothing contained in this Section 3.2(a)(vi) shall be taken to
relieve the Preferred Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of
a Guarantee Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by this Preferred Securities

---------
agrees to pay in full the Guarantee Payments (without duplication of amounts
theretofore paid by the Issuer), as and when due, to the Holders of record as of
the date upon which such Guarantee Payments are due, regardless of any defense,
right of set-off or counterclaim that the Issuer may have or assert. The
Guarantor's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct
payment of the required amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or by causing
the Issuer to pay such amounts to the Holders.
SECTION V.2 Waiver of Notice and Demand. The Guarantor hereby waives
---------------------------
notice of acceptance of this Preferred Securities Guarantee and of any liability
to which it applies or may apply, presentment, demand for payment, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person before
proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of
dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Guarantor retains all of
its rights to (i) extend the interest payment period on the Debentures and the
Guarantor shall not be obligated hereunder to make any Guarantee Payments during
any Extended Interest Payment Period (as defined in the Indenture) with respect
to the Distributions (as defined in the Declaration) on the Preferred Securities
and (ii) redeem or change the maturity date of the Debentures, in each case to
the extent permitted by the Indenture.
SECTION V.3 Obligations Not Affected. The obligations, covenants,
------------------------
agreements and duties of the Guarantor under this Preferred Securities Guarantee
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect
until the entire liquidation amount of all outstanding Preferred Securities
shall have been paid and such obligation shall in no way be affected or impaired
by reason of the happening from time to time of any event, including without
limitation, the following, whether or not with notice to, or the consent of, the
Guarantor:
(a) The release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the
performance or observance by the Issuer of any express or implied agreement,
covenant, term or condition relating to the Preferred Securities to be performed
or observed by the Issuer;
(b) The extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of all or any
portion of the Distributions, Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or any
other sums payable under the terms of the Preferred Securities or the extension
of time for the performance of any other obligation under, arising out of, or in
connection with, the Preferred Securities (other than an extension of time for
payment of Distributions, Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or other
sum payable that results from the extension of any interest payment period on
the Debentures or any change to the maturity date of the Debentures permitted by
the Indenture);
(c) Any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the
Property Trustee or the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right,
privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Property Trustee or the Holders
pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities, or any action on the part of
the Issuer granting indulgence or extension of any kind;
9
<PAGE>
(d) The voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of any
collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of,
or other similar proceedings affecting, the Issuer or any of the assets of the
Issuer;
(e) Any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Preferred
Securities;
(f) The settlement or compromise of any obligation guaranteed hereby or
hereby incurred; or
(g) Any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the intent of
this Section 5.3 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
There shall be no obligation of the Preferred Guarantee Trustee or the Holders
to give notice to, or obtain consent of, the Guarantor or any other Person with
respect to the happening of any of the foregoing. No set-off, counterclaim,
reduction or diminution of any obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature
that the Guarantor has or may have against any Holder shall be available
hereunder to the Guarantor against such Holder to reduce the payments to it
under this Preferred Securities Guarantee.
SECTION V.4 Rights of Holders.

(a) The Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee in
respect of this Preferred Securities Guarantee or to direct the exercise of any
trust or power conferred upon the Preferred Guarantee Trustee under this
Preferred Securities Guarantee.
(b) If the Preferred Guarantee Trustee fails to enforce this Preferred
Securities Guarantee, then any Holder of Preferred Securities may institute a
legal proceeding directly against the Guarantor to enforce the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee's rights under this Preferred Securities Guarantee without
first instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer, the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee or any other Person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Guarantor has failed to make a Guarantee Payment, a Holder of Preferred
Securities may directly institute a proceeding against the Guarantor for
enforcement of the Preferred Securities Guarantee for such payment to the Holder
of the Preferred Securities of the principal of or interest on the Debentures on
or after the respective due dates specified in the Debentures, and the amount of
the payment will be based on the Holder's pro rata share of the amount due and
owing on all of the Preferred Securities. The Guarantor hereby waives any right
or remedy to require that any action on this Preferred Securities Guarantee be
brought first against the Issuer or any other Person or entity before proceeding
directly against the Guarantor.
SECTION V.5 Guarantee of Payment. This Preferred Securities Guarantee
--------------------
creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
SECTION V.6 Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if
-----------
any) rights of the Holders of Preferred Securities against the Issuer in respect
of any amounts paid to such Holders by the Guarantor under this Preferred
Securities Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not (except to
the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or
exercise any right that it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity,
reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this
Preferred Securities Guarantee, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts
are due and unpaid under this Preferred Securities Guarantee. If any amount
shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the
Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over
such amount to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee for the benefit of the Holders.
SECTION V.7 Independent Obligations. The Guarantor acknowledges that its
-----------------------
obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with
respect to the Preferred Securities, and that the Guarantor shall be liable as
principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the
terms of this Preferred Securities Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of
any event referred to in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.3
hereof.
10
<PAGE>
SECTION V.8 Waiver Under Indenture and Declaration. Any waiver by the
--------------------------------------
Holders of any right under the Indenture or the Declaration shall constitute a
waiver of their rights hereunder to the full extent of such waiver.

LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION
SECTION VI.1 Limitation of Transactions. So long as any Preferred
--------------------------
Securities remain outstanding, if there shall have occurred a Guarantee Event of
Default or an event of default under the Declaration, then, prior to the payment

declare or pay dividends on, make a distribution with respect to, or redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its
capital stock, (b) make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any,
on, or repay, repurchase or redeem, any debt securities issued by the Guarantor
that rank equal with or junior to the Debentures or (c) make guarantee payments
with respect to the foregoing (other than as set forth in this Preferred
Securities Guarantee); provided, however, that the restriction in clause (a)
does not apply to (i) purchases or acquisitions of the Guarantor's capital stock
in connection with the satisfaction of its obligations under any employee
benefit plans, stock option plans, employee stock purchase plans or direct
reinvestment plans as may be in effect from time to time or the satisfaction of
its obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the date of
such event requiring the Guarantor to purchase its capital stock (other than a
contractual obligation ranking equal with or junior to the Debentures), (ii)
reclassifications of the Guarantor's capital stock or the exchange or conversion
of one class or series of the Guarantor's capital stock, provided that such
reclassification, exchange or conversion does not result in a change in the
priority vis-a-vis the Preferred Securities of any class or series of capital
stock that is being so reclassified or that is the subject of such exchange or
conversion, (iii) purchases of fractional interests in shares of the Guarantor's
capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital
stock or the security bring converted or exchanged, (iv) stock dividends paid by
the Guarantor where the dividend stock is the same stock as that on which the

purchase rights contained in any rights agreement as shall be in effect from
time to time, which purchase rights are substantially similar to those contained
in the Guarantor's current rights agreement.
SECTION VI.2 Ranking. This Preferred Securities Guarantee will
-------
constitute an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and will rank (i)
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of the
Guarantor, including all series of the Guarantor's outstanding LYONSTM, except
those liabilities of the Guarantor made equal or subordinate by their terms,
(ii) equal with the most senior preferred or preference stock now or hereafter
issued by the Guarantor and with any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by
the Guarantor in respect of any preferred or preference stock of any Affiliate
of the Guarantor, (iii) senior to the Guarantor's common stock and (iv)
effectively subordinated to the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor's
Subsidiaries to the same extent as the Debentures as described in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Declaration, the
rights of the holders of the Common Securities to receive any payments shall be
subordinated to the rights of the Holders of Preferred Securities to receive
Guarantee Payments hereunder.
ARTICLE VII
TERMINATION
SECTION VII.1 Termination. This Preferred Securities Guarantee shall
-----------
terminate upon (i) full payment of the Redemption Price of all Preferred
Securities, (ii) upon the distribution of the Debentures to the Holders of all
of the Preferred Securities or (iii) upon full payment of the amounts payable in
accordance with the Declaration upon liquidation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Preferred Securities Guarantee will continue to be effective
or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder of
Preferred Securities must restore payment of any sums paid under the Preferred
Securities or under this Preferred Securities Guarantee.

Distributions payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of 6.68% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25
per Preferred 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 quarter will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the
Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions" as used herein includes such cash distributions and any such
interest 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 available therefor.
The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full
quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for
which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed per 90-day quarter.
Except as otherwise described below, distributions on the Preferred
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 1999, which payment dates
shall correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures. The Debenture
Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by
extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a
period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters or extending beyond the Maturity
Date of the Debentures (each, an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence of
any such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral,
quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly
during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such Extension Period;
provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further
extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters and may not extend
beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Payments of accrued Distributions
will be payable to Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust
on the record date after 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.
The Preferred Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.
