ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
1st Source Corporation is an Indiana corporation and registered bank
holding company headquartered in South Bend, Indiana which commenced
operations as a bank holding company in 1971. As used herein, unless the
context otherwise requires, the term "Company" refers to 1st Source
Corporation and its subsidiaries. At December 31, 1997, the Company had
assets of $2.42 billion, deposits of $1.89 billion and total shareholders'
equity of $195.0 million. Pages 18 through 41 of the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1997 are incorporated herein
by reference.
The Company, through its principal subsidiary 1st Source Bank (the
"Bank"), delivers a comprehensive range of consumer and commercial banking
services to individual and business customers through 45 banking locations in
the northern Indiana/southwestern Michigan market area. The Bank also
competes for business nationwide by offering specialized financing services
for used private aircraft, automobiles for leasing and rental agencies, heavy
duty trucks and construction equipment. The Bank, which was chartered as an
Indiana state bank in 1922, is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") to the extent provided by law. The Bank is headquartered in South
Bend, Indiana, which is in northern Indiana, approximately 95 miles east of
Chicago and 140 miles north of Indianapolis. Its principal market area
consists of eight counties in northern Indiana and three counties in
southwestern lower Michigan. South Bend, in St. Joseph County, is the
largest city in a 55-mile radius, and is a regional center for educational
institutions, health care, financial, accounting and legal services and
retailing.
The Company's other subsidiaries include 1st Source Leasing, Inc., an
originator and servicer of personal property leases to businesses nationwide,
1st Source Insurance, Inc., a general property and casualty insurance agency
in South Bend, 1st Source Capital Corporation, a licensed small business
investment company, 1st Source Capital Trust I and II, subsidiaries created
to issue $44.75 million of Trust Preferred Securities, Michigan
Transportation Finance Corporation, a company which manages the non-Indiana
assets of our national niche lending businesses, and Trustcorp Mortgage
Company, a mortgage banking company with four offices in Indiana and one in
Ohio. The Company's inactive subsidiaries include 1st Source Travel, Inc.,
1st Source Auto Leasing, Inc., and FBT Capital Corporation.
The principal executive office of the Company is located at 100 North
Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana 46601 and its telephone number is (219)
235-2000.
BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OBJECTIVES
The Company, as part of its "Vision 2000" strategic planning process
commenced in 1995, has identified several business objectives and strategies
which focus on growth and customer service. The principal objectives of the
Company under Vision 2000 have been to (i) increase financial performance and
market share, (ii) provide exceptional customer service, (iii) enhance credit
quality, and (iv) maintain cost controls.
The Company has employed the following strategies to further its Vision
2000 objectives:
1. Increase market share in each market served and as a percentage of
each customer's relationship. The Company opened three new banking locations
in 1997 and ten in 1996 as part of its banking center expansion program
designed to maintain its position as one of the dominant financial
institutions in its market area -- which includes eight counties in northern
Indiana and three counties in southwestern lower Michigan. Management
2
<PAGE> 3
believes that such a strategy allows the most effective and efficient use of
the Company's marketing resources and assures that the Company's banking
offices are accessible to a majority of the people residing in the markets
served. The Company's goal is to deliver highly personal and superior
customer services through each of its banking facilities and to meet a higher
percentage of each customer's financial needs through personal relationship
management.
2. Expand fee-based businesses. The Company currently provides a
number of fee-based services to its clients, the major services being trust,
mortgage banking, equipment leasing, property and casualty insurance, and
securitized loan servicing. The Company believes that additional sources of
fee income are available from existing relationships and that existing
fee-based product lines can be used effectively in developing new
relationships with customers. The Company also believes that customers are
more loyal and responsive to its products and services when a large
percentage of a customer's financial services are provided directly by the
Company. The Company's fee-based businesses are designed to strengthen the
relationship between the Company and its customers.
3. Expand the national niche businesses across the United States
taking advantage of specialized opportunities. The Company caters to
specialized national market niches that management believes are not being
well served by either the credit subsidiaries of manufacturers or by other
financial institutions. Asset-based lending and personal relationship
management of the customer base, together with an efficient method of
operation, is the focus of the Bank's Transportation and Equipment Financing
Group, which provides such services. Additional experienced sales people
have been and will be added to ensure better geographic coverage in areas of
opportunity. The Company has also pursued a strategy of securitizing loan
receivables so that this Group's business growth is not totally dependent on
deposit funding.
4. Actively managing credit quality. The Company has adopted a
proactive credit management process with loan officers maintaining
responsibility for the quality of the credits they originate and manage. The
credit management process is supported by a collective and collaborative
review and approval process and is balanced by a review, evaluation and
grading process undertaken by an objective third party. Senior management is
actively involved in the management of the process and incentive compensation
is based on the Company's overall credit experience.
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES
The organization provides financial services through the following
groups:
* Personal and Small Business Banking Group --
The Bank's Personal and Small Business Banking Group serves
individuals and small businesses with direct lending, credit
cards, auto leasing, personal trust, brokerage services, and a
wide range of deposit products. The Group's operations are
conducted through the Bank's main office, its 45 branch
offices, two free-standing drive-up facilities and 47 automatic
teller machines. Loans of approximately $462 million and
deposits of approximately $1.56 billion were attributable to
the Group at December 31, 1997. The Bank's Personal Trust
Division managed approximately 1,626 accounts at December 31,
1997, consisting of $929 million in assets. The Personal Trust
Division earned $4.77 million in fee income during 1997.

<PAGE> 4
Besides traditional branch locations, alternative delivery
systems are in place to enhance customer service. Certificates
of Deposit and the ability to pay bills are offered on the
Internet and customers also can use their telephone to check
their account balances and transfer funds 24 hours a day. A
centralized "loan by phone" system provides customers with
immediate loan decisions while they are on the phone and
coordinates product delivery through the local banking offices.
The organization's goal is to continue to improve the match
between a customer's individual needs and the Bank's products
and services.
* Commercial Banking Group --
The Bank's Commercial Banking Group provides a wide range of
services to business customers, including loans and leases,
investments, international services, corporate cash management
and employee benefit trust services. Customers can initiate
deposit and loan transactions, check balances and account
clearings, and transfer funds among accounts on a daily basis
using a direct-access PC to communicate with the Bank. The
Group's primary focus is privately-held or closely-controlled
firms, which have annual sales between $2 million and $100
million and are doing business or are located within an 80-mile
radius of South Bend. Loans of approximately $541 million and
deposits of approximately $71 million were attributable to the
Group at December 31, 1997. The Bank's Employee Benefit
Division managed approximately 526 retirement plans at December
31, 1997, consisting of $626 million in assets. The Employee
Benefit Division earned $2.54 million in fee income during
1997.
* Transportation and Equipment Financing Group --
The Bank's Transportation and Equipment Financing Group offers
specialized financing services nationwide. The Group serves a
limited number of high-quality automobile leasing and rental
companies, truck leasing companies and manufacturers of
specialized truck bodies, finances used aircraft nationwide, and
provides lending services to dealers, contractors and other end
users of construction equipment. The Group has employees
located in Alaska, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin. Loans of
approximately $743 million, or 41.3% of the Company's
consolidated total loans, were attributable to the Group at
December 31, 1997. The Group also services approximately $167
million of off-balance sheet loans, primarily as the result of
securitizations.
* Mortgage Banking Group --
Trustcorp Mortgage Company, a subsidiary of the Company, is a
mortgage banking company operating on a regional basis. The
principal business activities include origination, purchase,
sale and servicing of mortgage loans for investors. Locations
include four offices in Indiana and one in Columbus, Ohio. As
of December 31, 1997, Trustcorp Mortgage Company had
outstanding loans of $49 million and serviced a mortgage
portfolio of $1.35 billion.
OWNERSHIP
As of February 17, 1998, the directors and executive officers of the
Company and their immediate families owned approximately 44.2% of the
Company's common stock and, as a result, exercise substantial control over
the Company.

COMPETITION
The activities in which the Company and the Bank engage are highly
competitive. Those activities and the geographic markets served involve
primarily competition with other banks, some of which are affiliated with
large bank holding companies headquartered outside of the Company's principal
market. Larger financial institutions competing within the Company's
principal market, but headquartered elsewhere, include KeyBank, Norwest Bank,
Standard Federal Bank and Valley American Bank and Trust Company.
Competition among financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered
on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and other credit and
service charges, the quality of services rendered, the convenience of banking
facilities and, in the case of loans to large commercial borrowers, relative
lending limits.
In addition to competing with other banks within their primary service
areas, the Bank also competes with other financial intermediaries, such as
credit unions, industrial loan associations, securities firms, insurance
companies, small loan companies, finance companies, mortgage companies, real
estate investment trusts, certain governmental agencies, credit organizations
and other enterprises. Additional competition for depositors' funds comes
from United States Government securities, private issuers of debt obligations
and suppliers of other investment alternatives for depositors. Many of the
Company's non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal
regulations that govern bank holding companies and banks. Such non-bank
competitors may, as a result, have certain advantages over the Company in
providing some services.
The Company competes against larger financial institutions, which have
the advantage of certain economies of scale not enjoyed by a financial
institution the size of the Company. 1st Source counters by relying on a
history in the market dating back to 1863, with the relationships long-term
employees have with their customers and with the capacity for quick local
decision-making.
EMPLOYEES
The Company employs approximately 966 persons on a full-time equivalent
basis. The Company provides a wide range of employee benefits and considers
employee relations to be good.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
GENERAL. The Company and the Bank are extensively regulated under
federal and state law. These laws and regulations are intended to protect
depositors, not shareholders. To the extent that the following information
describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any
change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the
business and prospects of the Company. The operations of the Company may be
affected by legislative changes and by the policies of various regulatory
authorities. The Company is unable to predict the nature or the extent of
the effects on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies,
economic controls or new federal or state legislation may have in the future.
The Company is a registered bank holding company under the BHCA and, as
such, is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). The Company
is required to file annual reports with the Federal Reserve and to provide
the Federal Reserve such additional information as it may require.

<PAGE> 6
The Bank, as an Indiana state bank, is supervised by the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions (the "DFI") and the Federal Reserve. As
such, the Bank is regularly examined by and subject to regulations
promulgated by the DFI and the Federal Reserve. Because the FDIC provides
deposit insurance to the Bank, the Bank is also subject to supervision and
regulation by the FDIC (even though the FDIC is not its primary federal
regulator).
Recent and Pending Legislation. The enactment of the legislation
described below has significantly affected the banking industry generally and
will have an ongoing effect on the Company and the Bank in the future.
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") reorganized and reformed the regulatory structure applicable to
financial institutions generally. FIRREA, among other things, enhanced the
supervisory and enforcement powers for the federal bank regulatory agencies,
required insured financial institutions to guaranty repayment of losses
incurred by the FDIC in connection with the failure of an affiliated
financial institution, required financial institutions to provide their
primary federal regulator with notice (under certain circumstances) of
changes in senior management and broadened authority for bank holding
companies to acquire savings institutions.
Under FIRREA, federal banking regulators have greater flexibility to
bring enforcement actions against insured institutions and
institution-affiliated parties, including cease and desist orders,
prohibition orders, civil money penalties, termination of insurance and the
imposition of operating restrictions and capital plan requirements. These
enforcement actions, in general, may be initiated for violations of laws and
regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. FIRREA granted the FDIC back-up
enforcement authority to recommend enforcement action to an appropriate
federal banking agency and to bring such enforcement action against a
financial institution or an institution-affiliated party if such federal
banking agency fails to follow the FDIC's recommendation. FIRREA also
requires, except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final
enforcement actions by the federal banking agencies.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was
adopted to recapitalize the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and impose certain
supervisory and regulatory reforms on insured depository institutions.
FDICIA, in general, includes provisions, among others, to (i) increase the
FDIC's line of credit with the U.S. Treasury in order to provide the FDIC
with additional funds to cover the losses of federally insured banks, (ii)
reform the deposit insurance system, including the implementation of
risk-based deposit insurance premiums, (iii) establish a format for closer
monitoring of financial institutions to enable prompt corrective action by
banking regulators when a financial institution begins to experience
financial difficulty, (iv) establish five capital levels for financial
institutions ("well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically
undercapitalized") that would impose more scrutiny and restrictions on less
capitalized institutions, (v) require the banking regulators to set
operational and managerial standards for all insured depository institutions
and their holding companies, including limits on excessive compensation to
executive officers, directors, employees and principal shareholders, and
establish standards for loans secured by real estate, (vi) adopt certain
accounting reforms and require annual on-site examinations of federally
insured institutions, including the ability to require independent audits of
banks and thrifts, (vii) revise risk-based capital standards to ensure that
they (a) take adequate account of interest-rate changes, concentration of
credit risk and the risks of nontraditional activities, and (b) reflect the
actual performance and expected risk of loss of multi-family mortgages, and
(viii) restrict state-chartered banks from engaging in activities not
permitted for national banks unless they are adequately capitalized and have
FDIC approval. FDICIA also permits the FDIC to make special assessments on
insured depository institutions, in amounts determined by the FDIC to be
necessary to give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed
6
<PAGE> 7
from the U.S. Treasury and other sources or for any other purpose the FDIC
deems necessary and grants authority to the FDIC to establish semiannual
assessment rates on BIF and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
member banks so as to maintain these funds at the designated reserve ratios.
FDICIA also contained the Truth in Savings Act, which requires clear and
uniform disclosure of the rates of interest payable on deposit accounts by
depository institutions, and the fees assessable against deposit accounts, so
that consumers can make a meaningful comparison between the competing claims
of financial institutions with regard to deposit accounts and products.
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994.
Congress enacted the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency
Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") in September 1994. Beginning in September
1995, bank holding companies have the right to expand, by acquiring existing
banks, into all states, even those which had theretofore restricted entry.
The legislation also provides that, subject to future action by individual
states, a holding company has the right to convert the banks which its owns
in different states to branches of a single bank. A state is permitted to
"opt out" of portions of the law which will permit conversion of separate
banks to branches, but is not permitted to "opt out" of portions of the law
allowing bank holding companies from other states to enter the state. A
state may also determine, at its option, to permit interstate branching
through the establishment of de novo branches by out-of-state banks. The
states of Indiana and Michigan have "opted in" early to the interstate
branching provisions of the Interstate Act and have also authorized the
establishment of de novo branches of out-of-state banks. The Bank
established two such branches in Michigan during 1996 and 1997. The
Interstate Act also establishes limits on acquisitions by large banking
organizations, providing that no acquisition may be undertaken if it would
result in the organization having deposits exceeding either 10% of all bank
deposits in the United States or 30% of the bank deposits in the state in
which the acquisition would occur.
Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996. The
Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "EGRPRA")
was signed into law on September 30, 1996. EGRPRA streamlined the
non-banking activities application process for well-capitalized and
well-managed bank holding companies. Under EGRPRA, qualified bank holding
companies may commence a regulatorily approved non-banking activity without
prior notice to the Federal Reserve; written notice is required within 10
days after commencing the activity. Under EGRPRA, the prior notice period is
reduced to 12 days in the event of any non-banking acquisition or share
purchase, assuming the size of the acquisition does not exceed 10% of
risk-weighted assets of the acquiring bank holding company and the
consideration does not exceed 15% of Tier 1 capital.
EGRPRA also provides for the recapitalization of SAIF, which generally
insures the deposits of thrift institutions, in order to bring it into parity
with the BIF. As a result of this recapitalization, the overall FDIC
assessment rate for 1998 for the Bank is 1.26 basis points for each $100 of
BIF assessable deposits.
Pending Legislation. Because of concerns relating to competitiveness
and the safety and soundness of the banking industry, Congress is considering
a number of wide-ranging proposals for altering the structure, regulation and
competitive relationships of the nation's financial institutions. Among such
bills are new proposals to merge the BIF and the SAIF insurance funds, to
alter the statutory separation of commercial and investment banking and to
further expand the powers of banks, bank holding companies and competitors of
banks. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any of these proposals
will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Company may be
affected thereby.

BANK AND BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION. As noted above, both
the Company and the Bank are subject to extensive regulation and supervision.
Bank Holding Company Act. Under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended (the "BHCA"), the activities of a bank holding company, such as
the Company, are limited to business so closely related to banking, managing
or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The Company is also
subject to capital requirements applied on a consolidated basis in a form
substantially similar to those required of the Bank. The BHCA also requires
a bank holding company to obtain approval from the Federal Reserve before (i)
acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares
of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would
own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or
controls the majority of such shares), (ii) acquiring all or substantially
all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company, or (iii) merging
or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Federal Reserve will
not approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation that would have a
substantially anticompetitive result, unless the anticompetitive effects of
the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by a greater public interest
in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The
Federal Reserve also considers capital adequacy and other financial and
managerial factors in reviewing acquisitions or mergers.
The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited
exceptions, (i) from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or
control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a
bank or bank holding company, or (ii) from engaging directly or indirectly in
activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or
providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these
prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities which, by statute or by
Federal Reserve regulation or order, have been identified as activities
closely related to the business of banking or of managing or controlling
banks. The Federal Reserve, in making such determination, considers whether
the performance of such activities by a bank holding company can be expected
to produce benefits to the public such as greater convenience, increased
competition or gains in efficiency in resources, which can be expected to
outweigh the risks of possible adverse effects such as decreased or unfair
competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.
Insurance of Accounts. The FDIC provides insurance, through the BIF, to
deposit accounts at the Bank to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured
depositor. On January 1, 1996, the FDIC adopted an amendment to its BIF
risk-based assessment schedule which effectively eliminated deposit insurance
assessments for most commercial banks and other depository institutions with
deposits insured by the BIF only. Following enactment of EGRPRA, the overall
assessment rate for 1998 for institutions in the lowest risk-based premium
category was revised to equal 1.26 cents for each $100 of BIF-assessable
deposits. Deposits insured by the SAIF continue to be assessed at a higher
rate. At this time, the deposit insurance assessment rate for institutions
in the lowest risk-based premium category is zero, and all of the assessments
paid by institutions in this category are used to service debt issued by the
Financing Corporation, a federal agency established to finance the
recapitalization of the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation.
Regulations Governing Capital Adequacy. The federal bank regulatory
agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in their examination and regulation
of bank holding companies and banks. If the capital falls below the minimum
levels established by these guidelines, the bank holding company or bank may
be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or nonbank
businesses or to open facilities.
The Federal Reserve and the FDIC adopted risk-based capital guidelines
for banks and bank holding companies that are designed to make regulatory
capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among
banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure
and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and
off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with
8
<PAGE> 9
appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a
percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. Under
these guidelines, all bank holding companies and federally regulated banks
must maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which
at least one-half must be Tier 1 capital.
The Federal Reserve also has implemented a leverage ratio, which is
Tier 1 capital to total assets, to be used as a supplement to the risk-based
guidelines. The principal objective of the leverage ratio is to place a
constraint on the maximum degree to which a bank holding company may leverage
its equity capital base. The Federal Reserve requires a minimum leverage
ratio of 3%. For all but the most highly-rated bank holding companies and
for bank holding companies seeking to expand, however, the Federal Reserve
expects that additional capital sufficient to increase the ratio by at least
100 to 200 basis points will be maintained.
Management of the Company believes that the risk-weighting of assets and
the risk-based capital guidelines do not have a material adverse impact on
the Company's operations or on the operations of the Bank.
Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977
requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions
within their jurisdiction, the federal banking regulators must evaluate the
record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their
local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods,
consistent with the safe and sound operation of those banks. These factors
are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to
open a branch or facility.
Regulations Governing Extensions of Credit. The Bank is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of
credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, or investments in
their securities and on the use of their securities as collateral for loans
to any borrowers. These regulations and restrictions may limit the ability
of the Company to obtain funds from the Bank for its cash needs, including
funds for acquisitions and for payment of dividends, interest and operating
expenses. Further, under the BHCA and certain regulations of the Federal
Reserve, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from
engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with any extension of
credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.
The Bank is also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal
Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors,
principal shareholders or any related interest of such persons. Extensions
of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including
interest-rates and collateral as, and following credit underwriting
procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with persons not covered above and who are not
employees, and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment
or present other unfavorable features. The Bank is also subject to certain
lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons.
Reserve Requirements. The Federal Reserve requires all depository
institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts and
non-personal time deposits. Reserves of 3% must be maintained against total
transaction accounts of $49.3 million or less (subject to adjustment by the
Federal Reserve) and an initial reserve of $1,479,000 plus 10% (subject to
adjustment by the Federal Reserve to a level between 8% and 14%) must be
maintained against that portion of total transaction accounts in excess of
such amount. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements
imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements.
Dividends. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends and management fees
is limited by various state and federal laws, by the regulations promulgated
by its primary regulators and by the principles of prudent bank management.
9
<PAGE> 10
Monetary Policy and Economic Control. The commercial banking business
in which the Company engages is affected not only by general economic
conditions, but also by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve.
Changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing, availability of
borrowing at the "discount window," open market operations, the imposition of
changes in reserve requirements against member banks deposits and assets of
foreign branches, and the imposition of and changes in reserve requirements
against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates are some of the
instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve. These
monetary policies are used in varying combinations to influence overall
growth and distributions of bank loans, investments and deposits, and such
use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The
monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the
operating results of commercial banks and are expected to do so in the
future. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve are influenced by
various factors, including inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term
changes in the international trade balance and in the fiscal policies of the
U.S. Government. Future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on
the future business and earnings of the Company and the Bank cannot be
predicted.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this Report and in future filings by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases
and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive
officer which are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking
statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended). There can be no assurance, in light of these risks and
uncertainties, that such forward-looking statements will in fact transpire.
The following important factors, risks and uncertainties, among others, could
cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking
statements:
* Credit risk: While the Company has had excellent credit quality
in recent years, approximately 62% of its loans at December 31,
1997 were in commercial, financial, agricultural and
transportation and equipment loans. Changes in local economic
conditions could adversely affect credit quality in the
Company's local business loan portfolio, while national
regulatory or economic condition changes could negatively
impact the quality of the transportation and equipment
portfolio.
* Interest rate risk: Although the Company actively manages its
interest rate sensitivity, such management is not an exact
science. Rapid increases or decreases in interest rates could
adversely impact the Company's net interest margin if changes
in its cost of funds do not correspond to the changes in
income yields. Such fluctuations could also negatively impact
the Company's mortgage banking operations, which are very
interest rate sensitive, by increasing the runoff rates in the
servicing portfolio, reducing loan origination activities, or
increasing its funding costs.
* Competition: The Company's activities in both its local and
national niche businesses involve competition with other banks
as well as other financial institutions and enterprises. Also,
the financial service markets have and likely will continue to
experience substantial changes, which could significantly
change the Company's competitive environment in the future.
* Retail expansion: The Company's planned future growth includes an
emphasis on retail expansion, with the ten new branches opened
in 1996, three in 1997, and those to be opened in 1998 and
beyond. This expansion has and will continue to increase the
Company's operating costs. The Company needs to achieve the
revenue growth anticipated from this expansion in order to
maintain its efficiency and profitability trends in future
years.
10
<PAGE> 11
* Legislative and regulatory environment: The Company operates in a
rapidly changing legislative and regulatory environment. It
cannot be predicted how or to what extent future developments
in these areas will affect the Company. These developments
could negatively impact the Company through increased operating
expenses for compliance with new laws and regulations,
restricted access to new products and markets, or in other
ways.
* General business and economic trends: These factors, including
the impact of inflation levels, influence the Company's results
in numerous ways, including operating expense levels, deposit
and loan activity, and availability of trained individuals
needed for future growth.
The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive and the Company
disclaims any obligation to subsequently update or revise any forward-looking
statements after the date of this Report.

The Company's reserve for loan losses is provided for by direct charges to
operations. Losses on loans are charged against the reserve and likewise,
recoveries during the period for prior losses are credited to the reserve.
The loss reserve is maintained at a level considered by management to be
adequate to absorb possible losses from loans presently outstanding. The
provision made to this reserve is determined by management based on
assessment of the risk factors affecting the loan portfolio, including
general economic conditions, changes in the portfolio mix, past loan loss
experience and the financial condition of the borrower. Management of the
Company is constantly reviewing the status of the loan portfolio to identify
borrowers that might develop financial problems, in order to aid borrowers in
the handling of their accounts and to prevent sizable unexpected losses.
In 1997, after management's assessment of loan quality, the Company made a
charge of $6.05 million to operations as a provision for loan losses. At
December 31, 1997, the reserve for loan losses was $35.42 million, or 1.97%
of loans outstanding net of unearned discount.
As of December 31, 1997, impaired loans totaled $9.39 million, of which $1.14
million had corresponding specific reserves for loan losses totaling $0.61
million. The remaining $8.25 million of impaired loans had no specific
reserves for loan losses associated with them. The vast majority of the
impaired loans are nonaccrual loans; interest is not recognized on nonaccrual
loans subsequent to the date the loan is placed in nonaccrual status.
Interest on the remainder of the impaired loans is recognized on an accrual
basis. For 1997, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $9.46
million and interest income recognized on impaired loans totaled $376,000.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
1st Source's headquarters building is located in downtown South Bend. In
1982, the land was leased from the City of South Bend on a 49-year lease,
with a 50-year renewal option. The building is part of a larger complex,
including a 300-room hotel and a 500-car parking garage. 1st Source sold the
building and entered into a leaseback agreement with the purchaser for a term
of 30 years. The bank building is a structure of approximately 160,000
square feet, with 1st Source and its subsidiaries occupying approximately 70%
of the available office space, and approximately 30% presently subleased to
unrelated tenants.
The Company also owns property and/or buildings on which 28 of the bank
subsidiary's 45 banking offices are located, including the facilities in
Elkhart, LaPorte, Marshall, Porter, St. Joseph and Starke Counties in the
state of Indiana, as well as a parking facility, two buildings housing
drive-in banking plazas, a records retention facility, and a computer

building through foreclosure. It is being refurbished for additional tenants

agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new
Debenture or Debentures for a like aggregate principal amount. All
Debentures presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer,
as provided in this Section 2.7, shall be accompanied (if so required by the
Company or the Debenture Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Debenture Registrar,
duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder's duly authorized
attorney in writing.
(c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Debentures, or issue of new Debentures in case of partial
redemption, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.8, Section 3.5(b) and Section 11.4 not
involving any transfer.
(d) The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or
register the transfer of any Debentures during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of less than all the Outstanding Debentures and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing; nor (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Debentures or portions thereof called for
redemption.
SECTION 2.8. TEMPORARY DEBENTURES.
Pending the preparation of definitive Debentures, the Company may
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debentures
(printed, lithographed, or typewritten). Such temporary Debentures shall be
substantially in the form of the definitive Debentures in lieu of which they
are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the
Company. Every temporary Debenture shall be executed by the Company and be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially
the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debentures. Without
unnecessary delay the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive
Debentures and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures may be surrendered
in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency
of the Company designated for the purpose, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary
Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debentures,
unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive
Debentures need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the
Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures shall be entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debentures authenticated
and delivered hereunder.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
SECTION 2.9. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN DEBENTURES.
(a) In case any temporary or definitive Debenture shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next
succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company's request the
Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new
Debenture bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and
substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution
for the Debenture so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant
for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant
shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant's Debenture
and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such
substituted Debenture and deliver the same upon the written request or
authorization of the Chairman, President or any Vice-President and the
Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company. Upon the issuance of
any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Debenture that has matured
or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen,
the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize
the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a
mutilated Debenture) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to
save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to
the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.
(b) Every replacement Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.9 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the
Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture
shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder. All Debentures
shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures, and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law
or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender.
SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION.
All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or
any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if
surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debentures shall
be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of
the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of
such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debentures
held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose
of canceled Debentures in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver
a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise
acquire any of the Debentures, however, such acquisition shall not operate as
a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such
Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
SECTION 2.11. BENEFIT OF INDENTURE.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debentures, express or implied,
shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions
of Article XVI, the holders of Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any
covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants,
conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto
and of the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions of
Article XVI, the holders of Senior Indebtedness).
SECTION 2.12. AUTHENTICATION AGENT.
(a) So long as any of the Debentures remain Outstanding there may be an
Authenticating Agent for any or all such Debentures, which the Trustee shall
have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to
act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debentures issued upon exchange,
transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Debentures so authenticated shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and
obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.
All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Debentures by the
Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a
corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently
reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction
under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a
trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct
such business and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately.
(b) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at
any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or
cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint
an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

REDEMPTION OF DEBENTURES
SECTION 3.1. REDEMPTION.
Subject to the Company having received prior approval of the Federal
Reserve, if then required under the applicable capital guidelines or policies
of the Federal Reserve, the Company may redeem the Debentures issued
hereunder on and after the dates set forth in and in accordance with the
terms of this Article III.
SECTION 3.2. SPECIAL EVENT REDEMPTION.
13
<PAGE> 20
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
Subject to the Company having received the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve, if then required under the applicable capital guidelines or policies
of the Federal Reserve, if a Special Event has occurred and is continuing,
then, notwithstanding Section 3.3, the Company shall have the right upon not
less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to the holders of the
Debentures to redeem the Debentures, in whole but not in part, for cash
within 180 days following the occurrence of such Special Event (the "180-Day
Period") at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such
redemption (the "Redemption Price"), provided that if at the time there is
available to the Company the opportunity to eliminate, within the 180-Day
Period, a Tax Event by taking some ministerial action (a "Ministerial
Action"), such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other
similar reasonable measure which has no adverse effect on the Company, the
Trust or the holders of the Trust Securities issued by the Trust, the Company
shall pursue such Ministerial Action in lieu of redemption, and, provided
further, that the Company shall have no right to redeem the Debentures while
it is pursuing any Ministerial Action pursuant to its obligations hereunder,
and, provided further, that, if it is determined that the taking of a
Ministerial Action would not eliminate the Tax Event within the 180-Day
Period, the Company's right to redeem the Debentures shall be restored and it
shall have no further obligations to pursue the Ministerial Action. The
Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the
date of such redemption or such earlier time as the Company determines,
provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such
Redemption Price is to be paid.
SECTION 3.3. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION BY COMPANY.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(b), except as otherwise
may be specified in this Indenture, the Company shall have the right to
redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after
March 31, 2002, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount
to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of
such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall be
made upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to the holder of
the Debentures, at the Redemption Price. If the Debentures are only
partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Debentures shall be
redeemed pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem
appropriate and fair in its discretion. The Redemption Price shall be paid
prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or at such
earlier time as the Company determines provided that the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by
10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid.
(b) If a partial redemption of the Debentures would result in the
delisting of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust from The Nasdaq
Stock Market's National Market or any comparable level or successor listing
or any national securities exchange or other organization on which the
Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted, the Company shall not be
permitted to effect such partial redemption and may only redeem the
Debentures in whole.
SECTION 3.4. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
(a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem
all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Debentures in accordance with
the right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to
upon receipt of 45 days' written notice from the Company (which notice shall,
in the event of
14
<PAGE> 21
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
a partial redemption, include a representation to the effect that such
partial redemption shall not result in the delisting of the Preferred
Securities as described in Section 3.3(b) above), give notice of such
redemption to holders of the Debentures to be redeemed by mailing, first
class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and
not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at
their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Debenture Register unless
a shorter period is specified in the Debentures to be redeemed. Any notice
that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the
notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any
Debenture designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Debentures. In the case of any redemption of Debentures prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Debentures or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with any such
restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for
redemption and the Redemption Price and shall state that payment of the
Redemption Price shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office, upon
presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that interest accrued to the
date fixed for redemption shall be paid as specified in said notice and that
from and after said date interest shall cease to accrue. If less than all
the Debentures are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the
Debentures shall specify the particular Debentures to be redeemed. If the
Debentures are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that
on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new
Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof shall be issued.
(b) If less than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company
shall give the Trustee at least 45 days' notice in advance of the date fixed
for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be
redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other
manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion, the portion
or portions (equal to $25 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Debentures
to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of
the numbers of the Debentures to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The
Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect pursuant to the terms hereof,
by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice
President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part
of the Debentures for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the
manner set forth in this Section 3.4, such notice to be in the name of the
Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem
advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the
Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as
the case may be, such Debenture Register, transfer books or other records, or
suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or
such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the
provisions of this Section 3.4.
SECTION 3.5. PAYMENT UPON REDEMPTION.
(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as
above provided, the Debentures or portions of Debentures to be redeemed
specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the
place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest
on such Debentures or portions of Debentures shall cease to accrue on and
after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the
payment of such Redemption Price with respect to any such Debenture or
15
<PAGE> 22
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures on or
after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the
notice, said Debentures shall be paid and redeemed at the Redemption Price
(but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the
interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered
holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to
Section 3.3).
(b) Upon presentation of any Debenture that is to be redeemed in part
only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the
office or agency where the Debenture is presented shall deliver to the holder
thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture of authorized
denomination in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Debenture so presented.
SECTION 3.6. NO SINKING FUND.
The Debentures are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
ARTICLE IV.
EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD
SECTION 4.1. EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the
term of the Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending the
interest payment period of such Debentures for a period not exceeding 20
consecutive quarters (the "Extended Interest Payment Period"), during which
Extended Interest Payment Period no interest shall be due and payable;
provided that no Extended Interest Payment Period may extend beyond the
Maturity Date. Interest, the payment of which has been deferred because of
the extension of the interest payment period pursuant to this Section 4.1,
shall bear interest thereon at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly for each
quarter of the Extended Interest Payment Period (the "Compounded Interest").
At the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall
calculate (and deliver such calculation to the Trustee) and pay all interest
accrued and unpaid on the Debentures, including any Additional Interest and
Compounded Interest (together, the "Deferred Interest") that shall be payable
to the holders of the Debentures in whose names the Debentures are registered
in the Debenture Register on the first record date after the end of the
Extended Interest Payment Period. Before the termination of any Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Company may further extend such period, provided
that such period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not
exceed 20 consecutive quarters, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the
Debentures. Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and
upon the payment of all Deferred Interest then due, the Company may commence
a new Extended Interest Payment Period, subject to the foregoing
requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extended
Interest Payment Period, except at the end thereof, but the Company may
prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an
Extended Interest Payment Period.
SECTION 4.2. NOTICE OF EXTENSION.
(a) If the Property Trustee is the only registered holder of the
Debentures at the time the Company
16
<PAGE> 23
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give written
notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Trustee
of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period two Business Days
before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on
the Trust Securities issued by the Trust are payable; or (ii) the date the
Trust is required to give notice of the record date, or the date such
Distributions are payable, to The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market or
other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Preferred
Securities issued by the Trust, but in any event at least one Business Day
before such record date.
(b) If the Property Trustee is not the only holder of the Debentures at
the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company
shall give the holders of the Debentures and the Trustee written notice of
its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period at least two Business
Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; or
(ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or payment
date of such interest payment to The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market or
other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the
Debentures.
(c) The quarter in which any notice is given pursuant to paragraphs (a)
or (b) of this Section 4.2 shall be counted as one of the 20 quarters
permitted in the maximum Extended Interest Payment Period permitted under
Section 4.1.
SECTION 4.3. LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS.
If (i) the Company shall exercise its right to defer payment of interest
as provided in Section 4.1; or (ii) there shall have occurred any Event of
Default, then (a) the Company shall not declare or pay any dividend or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment
with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (i) dividends or
distributions in common stock of the Company, or any declaration of a
non-cash dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders'
rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or
the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, and (ii)
purchases of common stock of the Company related to the rights under any of
the Company's benefit plans for its directors, officers or employees); (b)
the Company shall not make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if
any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the
Company which rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the Debentures;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Company may make
payments pursuant to its obligations under the Preferred Securities
Guarantee; and (c) the Company shall not redeem, purchase or acquire less
than all of the outstanding Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities.
ARTICLE V.
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF COMPANY

principal of and interest on the Debentures at the time and place and in the
manner provided herein. Each such payment of the principal of or interest on

obligation of the Company, and shall be clearly and
17
<PAGE> 24
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
unmistakably identified as pertaining to the Debentures.
SECTION 5.2. MAINTENANCE OF AGENCY.

the Company shall cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3:

failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(ii) above, upon
the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all
sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and

interest on such Debentures, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such
principal or interest so becoming due on Debentures until such sums shall be
paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any
other obligor on such Debentures) to take such action. Whenever the Company
shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Debentures, it shall, prior to
each due date of the principal of or interest on any Debentures, deposit with
the
18
<PAGE> 25
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming
due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to
act.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, (i)
the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 5.3 is
subject to the provisions of Section 13.3 and 13.4; and (ii) the Company may
at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any Paying Agent to
pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying
Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions
as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent;
and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
SECTION 5.4. APPOINTMENT TO FILL VACANCY IN OFFICE OF TRUSTEE.
The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office
of Trustee, shall appoint, in the manner provided in Section 9.10, a Trustee,
so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

consolidate with, or merge into, or merge into itself, or sell or convey all
or substantially all of its property to any other company unless the
provisions of Article XII hereof are complied with.
SECTION 5.6. LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS.

connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by the Trust and (i) there
shall have occurred any event that would constitute an Event of Default; (ii)
the Company shall be in default with respect to its payment of any
obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee relating to the Trust;
or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of its election to defer
payments of interest on such Debentures by extending the interest payment

any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (i)

<PAGE> 26
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
For so long as the Trust Securities of the Trust remain outstanding, the
Company shall (i) maintain 100% direct or indirect ownership of the Common
Securities of the Trust; provided, however, that any permitted successor of

the Common Securities; (ii) not voluntarily terminate, wind up or liquidate
the Trust, except upon prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then so
required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal

business trust, except in connection with a distribution of Debentures, the

to be treated as owning an individual beneficial interest in the Debentures.
In connection with the distribution of the Debentures to the holders of the
Preferred Securities issued by the Trust upon a Dissolution Event, the
Company shall use its best efforts to list such Debentures on The Nasdaq
Stock Market's National Market or on such other exchange as the Preferred
Securities are then listed.

Except upon the exercise by the Company of its right to redeem the

Special Event, the Company shall not purchase any Debentures, in whole or in
part, from the Trust prior to March 31, 2002.

SECTION 6.1. COMPANY TO FURNISH TRUSTEE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF
DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee (a) on

payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest
for this purpose;
(ii) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal on the
Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable whether
at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; provided,
however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Debentures in

default in the payment of principal;
(iii) the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its
covenants or agreements with respect to the Debentures for a period
of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a

by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company
and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the Debentures at the time Outstanding;

Trust; or (iii) certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations,
each as permitted by the Trust Agreement.
(b) In each and every such case referred to in items (i) through (vi)

already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders
22
<PAGE> 29
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then
Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by such Debentureholders) may declare the principal of all
the Debentures to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable,
notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or in the Debentures.
(c) At any time after the principal of the Debentures shall have been
so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the

(i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Debentures and the
principal of any and all Debentures that shall have become due otherwise than
by acceleration (with interest upon such principal, and upon overdue

to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee
under Section 9.7; and (ii) any and all Events of Default under this
Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on Debentures that shall
not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as
provided in Section 7.6. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with
respect to Debentures under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for
any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored
respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though

it shall default in the payment of the principal of any of the Debentures
when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the

of the holders of the Debentures, the whole amount that then shall have been

both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and (if

thereof) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum
expressed in the Debentures; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the
amount payable to the Trustee under Section 9.7.

7.2(a) forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any
action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment
or final decree, and may enforce any such

Debentures and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the
manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor
upon the Debentures, wherever situated.

of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may

or under any of the terms established with respect to Debentures, may be
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Debentures, or
the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and
any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its
own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section
9.7, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debentures. In case of
an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable
right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Debentureholder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debentures or the rights

availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or

hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding shall have made written
request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its
own name as trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders shall have
offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; and
(iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding; and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in

respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected

affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such
Debentures, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of
all holders of Debentures. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 7.4, each and every Debentureholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
SECTION 7.5. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY OR OMISSION
NOT WAIVER.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9, all powers and
remedies given by this Article VII to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive
of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the
Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default
occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power,
or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, every power and
remedy given by this Article VII or by law to the Trustee or the
Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.
SECTION 7.6. CONTROL BY DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section
10.4, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, the Trustee shall have
the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good
faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine
that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance
with Section 10.4, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures
waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained
herein and its consequences, except (i) a default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any of the Debentures as and when the same shall
become due by the terms of such Debentures otherwise than by acceleration

installments of interest and principal has been deposited with the Trustee
(in accordance with Section 7.1(c)); (ii) a default in the covenants
contained in Section 5.6; or (iii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder
of each Outstanding Debenture affected; provided, however, that if the
Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, such waiver or
modification to such waiver shall not be effective until the holders of a
majority in liquidation preference of Trust Securities of the Trust shall
have consented to such waiver or modification to such waiver; provided
further, that if the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture is
required, such waiver shall not be effective until each holder of the Trust
Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such waiver. Upon any such
waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all
purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of
the Debentures shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 7.7. UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debentures
by such holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any
right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.7 shall not apply
to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Debentureholder, or group of Debentureholders holding more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures, or to any suit
instituted
26

after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform with respect to the Debentures such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an
Event of Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture,
and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs.
(b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(1) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred:
27
<PAGE> 34
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with
respect to the Debentures be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to the Debentures except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
the Trustee may with respect to the Debentures 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 Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such
certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture;

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 principal
amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Debentures;
and
(4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall
require the 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 is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or
liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably
assured to it.
SECTION 9.2. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.
Within 90 days after actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee of the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the
Debentures, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all holders of the
Debentures, as their names and addresses appear in the Debenture Register,
notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that, except in the case default in the payment of the
principal or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Debenture,
the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of the
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee determines in good faith
that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of
such Debentures; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of
the character specified in section 7.1(a)(iii), no such notice to holders of
Debentures need be sent until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other
paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;

prescribed herein);

an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default specified in Section

Event of Default from the Company or by holders of at least 25% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding;
(d) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Debentureholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Debentureholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect
to the Debentures such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as
a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of

facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond,
security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing so to do
by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debentures (determined as provided in Section 10.4); provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or
liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every
such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee,
29
<PAGE> 36
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and
(h) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or

negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder.
SECTION 9.4. TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS, ETC.

as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same.

application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the
Trustee.
SECTION 9.5. MAY HOLD DEBENTURES.
The Trustee or any Paying Agent or Debenture Registrar for the

SECTION 9.6. MONEYS HELD IN TRUST.
Subject to the provisions of Section 13.5, all moneys received by the
Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from

no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such
as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.
SECTION 9.7. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time
agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the
trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Trustee
upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and

its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad
faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses
of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.
(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9.7 to compensate
and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness
hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking
or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed
to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence
or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee
for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.
SECTION 9.9. DISQUALIFICATION: CONFLICTING INTERESTS.
If the Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within

Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act.
SECTION 9.10. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.
There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Debentures
issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or
Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other
Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by
federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law
or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 9.10, the combined capital and surplus
of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company
may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled
by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.10, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.11.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time
resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting
notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture
Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Debentures by written
instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with
respect to Debentures, or any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder
of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, subject to the
provisions of Section 9.11, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.
Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur
(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
Section 9.9 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or
Debentures for at least six months; or
(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9.10 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholder; or
(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy
proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such
case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Debentures and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of
Section 9.9, unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as
provided herein, any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder
of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, on behalf
of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after
such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee
with the consent of the Company.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee with respect to the Debentures pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 9.11 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 9.12.
32
<PAGE> 39
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
(e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.11 may
be appointed with respect to the Debentures, and at any time there shall be
only one Trustee with respect to the Debentures.
SECTION 9.12. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with
respect to the Debentures, every successor trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee
an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but,
on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of
the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.
(b) Upon request of any successor trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts
referred to in Section 9.12(a).
(c) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article IX.
(d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided
in this Section 9.12, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture
Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 9.13. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO
BUSINESS.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such
corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 9.9 and
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.10, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any
Debentures shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee
then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Debentures so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
had itself authenticated such Debentures.
SECTION 9.14. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY.
The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act,
excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been
33
<PAGE> 40
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the
extent included therein.
ARTICLE X.
CONCERNING DEBENTUREHOLDERS
SECTION 10.1. EVIDENCE OF ACTION BY HOLDERS.
(a) Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a
majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or
request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any
other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the
holders of such majority or specified percentage have joined therein may be
evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor
executed by such holders of Debentures in Person or by agent or proxy
appointed in writing.
(b) If the Company shall solicit from the Debentureholders any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action,
the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix
in advance a record date for the determination of Debentureholders entitled
to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or
after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of record at the close
of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Debentureholders for the
purposes of determining whether Debentureholders of the requisite proportion
of Outstanding Debentures have authorized or agreed or consented to such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debentures shall be computed as
of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement
or consent by such Debentureholders on the record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than six months after the record date.
SECTION 10.2. PROOF OF EXECUTION BY DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, proof of the execution of any
instrument by a Debentureholder (such proof shall not require notarization)
or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the
Debentures shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:
(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any
instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.
(b) The ownership of Debentures shall be proved by the Debenture
Register of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar
thereof.
(c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter
referred to in this Section 10.2 as it shall deem necessary.
SECTION 10.3. WHO MAY BE DEEMED OWNERS.
34
<PAGE> 41
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating
Agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name
such Debenture shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the
absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made
by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving
payment of or on account of the principal of and interest on such Debenture
(subject to Section 2.3) and for all other purposes; and neither the Company
nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Authenticating Agent nor any
Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 10.4. CERTAIN DEBENTURES OWNED BY COMPANY DISREGARDED.
In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Debentures have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under
this Indenture, the Debentures that are owned by the Company or any other
obligor on the Debentures or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling
or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other
obligor on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such direction, consent or waiver, only Debentures that the Trustee
actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Debentures so owned
that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the
purposes of this Section 10.4, if the pledgee shall establish to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to
such Debentures and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such
right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be
full protection to the Trustee.
SECTION 10.5. ACTIONS BINDING ON FUTURE DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 10.1, of the taking of any action by the holders of the
majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a
Debenture that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the
holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice
with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 10.2,
revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid any
such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and
binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such
Debenture, and of any Debenture issued in exchange therefor, on registration
of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any
notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture. Any action taken by
the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of
the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders
of all the Debentures.
ARTICLE XI.

Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time

purposes:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency herein or in the
Debentures;
(b) to comply with Article X;
(c) to provide for uncertificated Debentures in addition to or in

conditions of the Debentures, to establish the form of any certifications
required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or of the

(h) qualify or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of
any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee
shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that
affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of
this Section 11.1 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the
consent of the holders of any of the Debentures at the time Outstanding,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.2.
SECTION 11.2. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF
DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 10.1) of the holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions,
and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture
or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any
manner not covered by Section 11.1 the rights of the holders of the
Debentures under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall without the consent of the holders of each Debenture then
Outstanding and affected thereby, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any
Debentures, reduce the principal amount thereof,
36
<PAGE> 43
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, without
the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected; or (ii) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required to
consent to any such supplemental indenture; provided further, that if the
Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, such supplemental
indenture shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in
liquidation preference of Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented
to such supplemental indenture; provided further, that if the consent of the
holder of each Outstanding Debenture is required, such supplemental indenture
shall not be effective until each holder of the Trust Securities of the Trust
shall have consented to such supplemental indenture. It shall not be
necessary for the consent of the Debentureholders affected thereby under this
Section 11.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.
SECTION 11.3. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and
conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be
part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
SECTION 11.4. DEBENTURES AFFECTED BY SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
Debentures affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and
delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article XI, may bear a notation in form approved by the
Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon which
the Debentures may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Debentures so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the
Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debentures then Outstanding.
SECTION 11.5. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
(a) Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by its Board
Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
Debentureholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall
join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless
such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may
in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental
indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 9.1, may
receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article XI is authorized or permitted by,
and conforms to, the terms of this Article XI and that it is proper for the
Trustee under the provisions of this Article XI to join in the execution
thereof.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
(b) Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.5, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice,
setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture,
to the Debentureholders as their names and addresses appear upon the

defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
of any such supplemental indenture.

Indenture to be performed by the Company such successor corporation shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it
had been named as the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor
corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Debentures.
38
<PAGE> 45
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)

If at any time: (a) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation all Debentures theretofore authenticated (other than any
Debentures that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that shall have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.9) and Debentures for whose
payment money or Governmental Obligations have theretofore been deposited in
trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company (and thereupon repaid to

payable hereunder by the Company; then this Indenture shall thereupon cease
to be of further effect except for the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.7, 2.9,

become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case
may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums

imposed duties shall control.
SECTION 15.10. COUNTERPARTS.

which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 15.11. SEPARABILITY.
In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Indenture or
in the Debentures shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability

but this Indenture and the Debentures shall be construed as if such invalid
or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or
therein.
SECTION 15.12. ASSIGNMENT.
The Company shall have the right at all times to assign any of its
respective rights or obligations under this Indenture to a direct or indirect

benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns.
This Indenture may not otherwise be assigned by the parties thereto.
SECTION 15.13. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RIGHTS.
The Company acknowledges that, with respect to any Debentures held by
the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, if the Property Trustee fails to enforce
its rights under this Indenture as the holder of the Debentures held as the
assets of the Trust, any holder of Preferred Securities may institute legal
proceedings directly against the Company to enforce such Property Trustee's
rights under this Indenture without first instituting any legal proceedings
against such Property Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such
event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest or
principal on the Debentures on the date such interest or principal is
otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the
Company acknowledges that a holder of Preferred Securities may directly
institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such holder of the
principal of or interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities of such holder
on or after the respective due date specified in the Debentures.
ARTICLE XVI.
SUBORDINATION OF DEBENTURES
SECTION 16.1. AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE.
The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of Debentures issued
hereunder by such
43
<PAGE> 50
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
holder's acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all
Debentures shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article XVI; and
each holder of a Debenture, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or
assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The
payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on all Debentures
issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set
forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations
(collectively, "Senior Indebtedness") to the extent provided herein, whether
outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred; provided,
however, that the Debentures shall rank pari passu in right of payment with
the Company's Floating Rate Subordinated Debentures due 2027, issued pursuant
to the Indenture, dated as of March 21, 1997, with respect to such debentures
by and between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as
trustee thereunder. No provision of this Article XVI shall prevent the
occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.
SECTION 16.2. DEFAULT ON SENIOR DEBT, SUBORDINATED DEBT OR
ADDITIONAL SENIOR OBLIGATIONS.
In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company
in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on
any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or in the event that the maturity of
any Senior Indebtedness of the Company has been accelerated because of a
default, then, in either case, no payment shall be made by the Company with
respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of or interest on
the Debentures. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by
the preceding sentence of this Section 16.2, such payment shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders
of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee
or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear,
but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their
representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing
within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the
Senior Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the
Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 16.3. LIQUIDATION; DISSOLUTION; BANKRUPTCY.
(a) Upon any payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due upon all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full, or payment
thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any
payment is made by the Company on account of the principal or interest on the
Debentures; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or
reorganization, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
which the holders of the Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled to
receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this Article XVI,
shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy,
liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, or by the holders of the Debentures or by the Trustee under
this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the
respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated
by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee
44
<PAGE> 51
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing
such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests
may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full,
in money or money's worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any
payment or distribution is made to the holders of Debentures or to the
Trustee.
(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received
by the Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full,
or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms,
such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and
shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or
their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under
any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, and their respective interests may appear,
as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the
extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in
accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.
(c) For purposes of this Article XVI, the words "cash, property or
securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other
corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the
payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this
Article XVI with respect to the Debentures to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, that may at the time be
outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new
corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment;
and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not,
without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or
readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the
Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety,
or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and
conditions provided for in Article XII shall not be deemed a dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section
16.3 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation,
merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article
XII. Nothing in Section 16.2 or in this Section 16.3 shall apply to claims
of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.7.
SECTION 16.4. SUBROGATION.
(a) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, the rights of the holders of the Debentures shall be subrogated to
the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may
be, applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and
interest on the Debentures shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of
such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the holders of the
Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this
Article XVI, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article
XVI to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by
holders of the Debentures or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
45
<PAGE> 52
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
Company, and the holders of the Debentures, be deemed to be a payment by the
Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that
the provisions of this Article XVI are and are intended solely for the
purposes of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures, on
the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand.
(b) Nothing contained in this Article XVI or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company), and the holders of the Debentures, the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Debentures
the principal of and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or
shall affect the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures and
creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XVI
of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or
securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of
any such remedy.
(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred
to in this Article XVI, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article IX,
and the holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are
pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation
trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered
to the Trustee or to the holders of the Debentures, for the purposes of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, as the
case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts
paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article XVI.
SECTION 16.5. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION.
Each holder of Debentures by such holder's acceptance thereof authorizes
and directs the Trustee on such holder's behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this
Article XVI and appoints the Trustee such holder's attorney-in-fact for any
and all such purposes.
SECTION 16.6. NOTICE BY COMPANY.
(a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit
the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVI. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article XVI or any other provision of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts
that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVI,
unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall
be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts
46
<PAGE> 53
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the
notice provided for in this Section 16.6 at least two Business Days prior to
the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any
purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or
interest on any Debenture), then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive
such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which they were
received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be
received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.
(b) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice
has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf
of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in
good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment
or distribution pursuant to this Article XVI, the Trustee may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as
to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to
which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution
and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article
XVI, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment.
SECTION 16.7. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE; HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.
(a) The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article XVI in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at
any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any
of its rights as such holder. The Trustee's right to compensation and
reimbursement of expenses as set forth in Section 9.7 shall not be subject to
the subordination provisions of this Article XVI.
(b) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company,
the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XVI, and no
implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The
Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, the
Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior Indebtedness if it
shall pay over or deliver to holders of Debentures, the Company or any other
Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled by virtue of this Article XVI or otherwise.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
SECTION 16.8. SUBORDINATION MAY NOT BE IMPAIRED.
(a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness
of the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time
in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part
of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such
holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and
covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any
such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 16.8(a), the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time and from time
to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the holders of
the Debentures, without incurring responsibility to the holders of the
Debentures and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in
this Article XVI or the obligations hereunder of the holders of the
Debentures to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of
the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend
the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness, or
otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any
instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior
Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal
with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior
Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the
collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

CUSIP No. 336901 AC 7
1ST SOURCE CORPORATION
9.00% SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
DUE MARCH 31, 2027
1st Source Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the "Company," which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to State Street Bank
and Trust Company, as Property Trustee, or registered assigns, the principal
sum of twenty eight million three hundred fifty thousand five hundred twenty
five dollars ($28,350,525.00) on March 31, 2027 (the "Stated Maturity"), and
to pay interest on said principal sum from March 21, 1997, or from the most
recent interest payment date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to
deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30
and December 31 of each year commencing June 30, 1997, at the rate of 9.00%
per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and
on any overdue principal and (without duplication) on any overdue installment
of interest at the same rate per annum compounded quarterly. The amount of
interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest for any
partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed
in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on
which interest is payable on this Debenture is not a business day, then
payment of interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day (as defined in the Indenture) (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force
and effect as if made on such date. The interest installment so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture
(or one or more Predecessor Debentures, as defined in the Indenture) is
registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment, which shall be the fifteenth day of the last month of
the calendar quarter in which such Interest Payment Date occurs unless
otherwise provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on
this Debenture shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee
maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of
America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the
option of the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at such
address as shall appear in the Debenture Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the holder of this Debenture is the Property Trustee,
the payment of the principal of and interest on this Debenture shall be made
at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Trustee.
The Stated Maturity may be shortened at any time by the Company to any
date not earlier than March 31, 2002, subject to the Company having received
prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then

required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve. Such date may also be extended at any time at the election of the
Company for one or more periods, but in no event to a date later than March
31, 2046, subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is, to the extent provided
in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, but shall rank pari passu in
right of payment with the Floating Rate Subordinated Debentures due 2027 of
the Company issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of March 21, 1997,
with respect to such debentures by and between the Company and State Street
Bank and Trust Company, as trustee thereunder. This Debenture is issued
subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each holder
of this Debenture, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by
such provisions; (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf
to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination so provided; and (c) appoints the Trustee his or
her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each holder hereof, by
his or her acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the acceptance of
the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each
holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred,
and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.
This Debenture shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture,
be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of
Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.
The provisions of this Debenture are continued on the reverse side
hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same
effect as though fully set forth at this place.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be
executed.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
9.00% SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
(CONTINUED)
This Debenture is one of the subordinated debentures of the Company (the
"Debentures"), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture
dated as of March 21, 1997 (the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered
between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the
"Trustee"), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of
the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Debentures.
The Debentures are limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in the
Indenture.
Company shall have the right, as set forth in the Indenture, to redeem
this Debenture at the option of the Company, without premium or penalty, in
whole or in part at any time on or after March 31, 2002 (an "Optional
Redemption"), or at any time in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of
a Special Event (as defined in the Indenture), at a redemption price (the
"Redemption Price") equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof plus any
accrued but unpaid interest hereon, to the date of such redemption. Any
redemption pursuant to this paragraph shall be made upon not less than 30
days nor more than 60 days notice, at the Redemption Price. The Redemption
Price shall be paid at the time and in the manner provided therefor in the
Indenture. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed by the Company
pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata
or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee as described in the
Indenture. In the event of an Optional Redemption of this Debenture in part
only, a new Debenture or Debentures for the unredeemed portion hereof shall
be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture), shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debentures may be
declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the
Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding (as
defined in the Indenture), to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debentures;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the
fixed maturity of the Debentures except as provided in the Indenture, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, without the consent of the holder of each
Debenture so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental
indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Debenture then
outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time outstanding, on behalf of all of the holders of the
Debentures, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the
covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the
Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. Any such consent or
waiver by the registered holder of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided
in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon
all future holders and owners of this Debenture and of any Debenture issued
in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer
or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Debenture.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and
<PAGE> 62
EXHIBIT 4(b)(1)
interest on this Debenture at the time and place and at the rate and in the
money herein prescribed.
The Company, as further described in the Indentures, shall have the
right at any time during the term of the Debentures and from time to time to
extend the interest payment period of such Debentures for up to 20
consecutive quarters (each, an "Extended Interest Payment Period"), at the
end of which period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and
unpaid (together with interest thereon at the rate specified for the
Debentures to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law). Before the termination of any such Extended Interest
Payment Period, the Company may further extend such Extended Interest Payment
Period, provided that such Extended Interest Payment Period together with all
such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters. At
the termination of any such Extended Interest Payment Period and upon the
payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts then
due, the Company may commence a new Extended Interest Payment Period.
As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered holder hereof on
the Debenture Register (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company, upon
surrender of this Debenture for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Trustee accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by
the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Debentures of authorized denominations and for the
same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in relation thereto.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture,
the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent (as defined in the Indenture) and
the Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as
the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of
or on account of the principal hereof and interest due hereon and for all
other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent
nor any Debentures Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the
interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as
such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether
by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement
of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the
acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof,
expressly waived and released.
The Debentures are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $25 and any integral multiple thereof.
All terms used in this Debenture that are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities
shall continue to accumulate, at the then applicable rate, from the
Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities
to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual
payment date shall be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.
(e) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be
made to the record holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register
for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be the date
15 days prior to the relevant Redemption Date.
(f) Subject to Section 403(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust
Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a
pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and
the Preferred Securities. The particular Preferred Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Property Trustee from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously
called for redemption, by such method (including, without limitation, by lot)
as the Property Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide
for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $25 or an integral
multiple of $25 in excess thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of Preferred
Securities of a denomination larger than $25. The Property Trustee shall
promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Preferred
Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to
be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context
otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Preferred
Securities shall relate, in the case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or
to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Liquidation Amount of
Preferred Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.
SECTION 403. SUBORDINATION OF COMMON SECURITIES.
(a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if
applicable) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as
applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 402(f), pro rata among the
Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any
Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a
Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment
of any Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or
Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of
the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall
be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid
Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all
Outstanding Preferred Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on
or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full
amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities then
called for redemption, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds
immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the
payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including Additional Amounts,
if applicable) on, or the Redemption Price of, Preferred Securities then due
and payable.
(b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting
from a Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of Common Securities shall be
deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to
16
<PAGE> 22
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all
such Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities shall have
been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until any such Event of Default
under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities shall
have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee
shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and not
the Holder of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Preferred
Securities shall have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on
their behalf.
SECTION 404. PAYMENT PROCEDURES.
Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable)
in respect of the Preferred Securities shall be made by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the
Securities Register. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be
made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee
and the Common Securityholder.
SECTION 405. TAX RETURNS AND REPORTS.
The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at
the Depositor's expense, and file all United States federal, state and local
tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect
of the Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare
and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue
Service form required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable
year of the Trust; and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and
furnished) to each Securityholder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service
form required to be furnished to such Securityholder or the information
required to be provided on such form. The Administrative Trustees shall
provide the Depositor with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly
after such filing or furnishing. The Property Trustee shall comply with
United States federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and
information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to
Securityholders under the Trust Securities.
SECTION 406. PAYMENT OF TAXES, DUTIES, ETC. OF TRUST.
Upon receipt under the Debentures of Additional Interest, the Property
Trustee, at the direction of an Administrative Trustee or the Depositor,
shall promptly pay any taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever
nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United
States or any other taxing authority.
SECTION 407. PAYMENTS UNDER INDENTURE.
Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities
shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder has
directly received under the Indenture pursuant to Section 514(b) or (c)
hereof.

shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.
SECTION 502. TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.
The Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $25 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $25 in
excess thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in

manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust
Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of

affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued
and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior
to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A
transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Securityholder,
and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a
Securityholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities
Certificate in such transferee's name pursuant to Sections 504 and 511.
SECTION 503. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF TRUST
SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.

aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 204 and 205, to be
executed on behalf of the Trust by at least one of the Administrative
Trustees and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed
by its Chief Executive Officer, President, any Vice President, the Treasurer
or any Assistant Treasurer without further corporate action by the Depositor,
in authorized denominations.
(b) A Preferred Securities Certificate shall not be valid until

Trustee, the Property Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery the Preferred Securities Certificates.

authentication by the Property Trustee includes authentication by such agent.
An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as the Property Trustee to deal
with the Depositor or the Trust.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
SECTION 504. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF
PREFERRED SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 508, a register or registers for the
purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and
exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates (herein referred to as the
"Securities Register") in which the registrar designated by the Depositor
(the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Preferred Securities
Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 510 in
the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers
and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The
Property Trustee shall be the initial Securities Registrar.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred
Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section
508, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such
Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The Securities Registrar shall not be
required to register the transfer of any Preferred Securities that have been
called for redemption. At the option of a Holder, Preferred Securities
Certificates may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates in
authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate
Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Preferred Securities Certificates to
be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 508.
(c) Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Property Trustee and the
Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently
disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its customary
practice. The Trust shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer
of, or exchange any Preferred Securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 calendar days before the date of mailing of a notice
of redemption of any Preferred Securities called for redemption and ending at
the close of business on the day of such mailing; or (ii) register the
transfer of or exchange any Preferred Securities so selected for redemption,
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Preferred
Securities being redeemed in part.
(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Securities
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.
SECTION 505. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN TRUST
SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.
If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust
Securities Certificate; and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of
notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on
behalf of the Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like
class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the
19
<PAGE> 25
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 505, the
Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 505 shall constitute conclusive evidence of
an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 506. PERSONS DEEMED SECURITYHOLDERS.
The Trustees, the Paying Agent and the Securities Registrar shall treat
the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered
in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate
for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall be
bound by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 507. ACCESS TO LIST OF SECURITYHOLDERS' NAMES AND ADDRESSES.
At any time when the Property Trustee is not also acting as the
Securities Registrar, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Property Trustee (a) semi-annually on
or before January 15 and July 15 in each year, a list, in such form as the
Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Securityholders as of the most recent record date; and (b) promptly after
receipt by any Administrative Trustee or the Depositor of a request therefor
from the Property Trustee in order to enable the Property Trustee to
discharge its obligations under this Trust Agreement, in each case to the
extent such information is in the possession or control of the Administrative
Trustees or the Depositor and is not identical to a previously supplied list
or has not otherwise been received by the Property Trustee in its capacity as
Securities Registrar. The rights of Securityholders to communicate with
other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement
or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights of the Trustee
shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. Each Holder, by receiving
and holding a Trust Securities Certificate, and each owner shall be deemed to
have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the
Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name
and address, regardless of the source from which such information was
derived.
SECTION 508. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.
The Administrative Trustees shall maintain in a location or locations
designated by the Administrative Trustees, an office or offices or agency or
agencies where Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served.
The Administrative Trustees initially designate the Corporate Trust Office of
the Property Trustee, Two International Place, 4th Floor, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110, as the principal corporate trust office for such
purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to
the Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location of the
Securities Register or any such office or agency.
SECTION 509. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.
The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee, and any
co-paying agent chosen by the Property Trustee, and acceptable to the
Administrative Trustees and the Depositor. The Paying Agent shall
20
<PAGE> 26
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
make Distributions to Securityholders from the Payment Account and shall
report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the
Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to
withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of making the
Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may revoke such
power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in their sole
discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations
under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. Any Person acting as
Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days'
written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the
Depositor. In the event that the Property Trustee shall no longer be the
Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act
be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor that is
acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Depositor to act as Paying Agent
(which shall be a bank or trust company). The Administrative Trustees shall
cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by
the Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees an
instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for
payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the
Securityholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Securityholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the
Property Trustee and, upon removal of a Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall
also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The
provisions of Sections 801, 803 and 806 shall apply to the Property Trustee
also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee shall
act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent
appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Paying
Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise.
SECTION 510. OWNERSHIP OF COMMON SECURITIES BY DEPOSITOR.
On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial
and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities (other than
a transfer in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Depositor into
another corporation pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Indenture) shall be void.
The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate
issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE".
SECTION 511. PREFERRED SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.
(a) Each owner shall receive a Preferred Securities Certificate
representing such owner's interest in such Preferred Securities. Upon the
issuance of Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize
the record holders of the Preferred Securities Certificates as
Securityholders. The Preferred Securities Certificates shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by the
execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them.
(b) A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common
Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive
Common Securities Certificate.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
SECTION 514. RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.
(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in
the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 209,
and the Securityholders shall not have any right or title therein other than
the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by
their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition
or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described
below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the
rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust
Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights. When issued and
delivered to Holders of the Preferred Securities against payment of the
purchase price therefor, the Preferred Securities shall be fully paid and
nonassessable interests in the Trust. The Holders of the Preferred
Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.
(b) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if,
upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders
of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail
to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and
payable, the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to
the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee; and upon any such declaration such
principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Debentures shall
become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal
and interest on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent
provided in the Indenture.
(c) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, if,
upon a Debenture Event of Default arising from the failure to pay interest or
principal on the Debentures, the Holders of any Preferred Securities then
Outstanding shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to
directly institute proceedings for enforcement of payment to such Holders of
principal of or interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holders.

ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING
SECTION 601. LIMITATIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS.
(a) Except as provided in this Section 601, in Sections 514, 810 and
1002 and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of
Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise
control the administration, operation and management of the Trust or the
obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or
contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so
as to constitute the Securityholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association.
(b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the
Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing
any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to such
Debentures; (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under Article VII
of the Indenture; (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration
that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable; or
22
<PAGE> 28
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
(iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture
or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each
case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a majority in
Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Preferred Securities; provided,
however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent
of each Holder of outstanding Debentures affected thereby, no such consent
shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of
each holder of Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any
action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the
Outstanding Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders
of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify
each Holder of the Outstanding Preferred Securities of any notice of default
received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures. In
addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall,
at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in
such matters to the effect that the Trust shall continue to be classified as
a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation for United
States federal income tax purposes on account of such action.
(c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or
the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely
affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of
the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement
or otherwise; or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the
Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the
Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class shall be entitled to
vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not
be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a majority
in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. No amendment
to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, the
Trust would cease to be classified as a grantor trust or would be classified
as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income
tax purposes.
SECTION 602. NOTICE OF MEETINGS.
Notice of all meetings of the Preferred Securityholders, stating the
time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 1008 to each Preferred Securityholder of record,
at his registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before
the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting
may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any
adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.
SECTION 603. MEETINGS OF PREFERRED SECURITYHOLDERS.
(a) No annual meeting of Securityholders is required to be held. The
Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of Securityholders to
vote on any matter in respect of which Preferred Securityholders are entitled
to vote upon the written request of the Preferred Securityholders of 25% of
the Outstanding Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation
Amount) and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any
time in their discretion, call a meeting of Preferred Securityholders to vote
on any matters as to which the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to
vote.
(b) Preferred Securityholders of record of 50% of the Outstanding
Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount), present
in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of
Securityholders.
23
<PAGE> 29
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
(c) If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the
Preferred Securityholders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding
more than a majority of the Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount) held by the Preferred Securityholders of record present,
either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of
the Securityholders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of
affirmative votes.
SECTION 604. VOTING RIGHTS.
Securityholders shall be entitled to one vote for each $25 of
Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust Securities in respect of any
matter as to which such Securityholders are entitled to vote.
SECTION 605. PROXIES, ETC.
At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholder entitled to vote
thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any
meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrative
Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the
Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at
which such vote shall be taken. When Trust Securities are held jointly by
several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by
proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall
be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or
their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall
not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to
be executed by or on behalf of a Securityholder shall be deemed valid unless
challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity
shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years
after its date of execution.
SECTION 606. SECURITYHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.
Any action which may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be
taken without a meeting if Securityholders holding more than a majority of
all Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation
Amount) entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion
thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust
Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount).
SECTION 607. RECORD DATE FOR VOTING AND OTHER PURPOSES.
For the purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to
notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate
in any Distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date
is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of
any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a
date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of
Securityholders or the payment of Distribution or other action, as the case
may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the
Securityholders of record for such purposes.
SECTION 608. ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be
given, made or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action
24
<PAGE> 30
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to
an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as
the "Act" of the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and
(subject to Section 801) conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 608.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Trustee receiving the
same deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Preferred Securities shall be proved by the
Securities Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act of the Securityholder of any Trust Security shall bind
every future Securityholder of the same Trust Security and the Securityholder
of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted
or suffered to be done by the Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.
(e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled
hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust
Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount
of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which
may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such
Liquidation Amount.
(f) A Securityholder may institute a legal proceeding directly against
the Depositor under the Guarantee to enforce its rights under the Guarantee
without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee
(as defined in the Guarantee), the Trust or any Person.
SECTION 609. INSPECTION OF RECORDS.
Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property
Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection and copying by
Securityholders and their authorized representatives during normal business
hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Securityholder's interest as
a Securityholder.

ARTICLE VIII
TRUSTEES
SECTION 801. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as
provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by
the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Trust Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if
they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. No Administrative Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be
liable for its act or omissions hereunder except as a result of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Property Trustee's liability shall be
determined under the Trust Indenture Act. Whether or not therein expressly
so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 801. To the extent that, at law
or in equity, the Delaware Trustee or an Administrative Trustee has duties
(including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or
to the Securityholders, the Delaware Trustee or such Administrative Trustee
shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such Trustee's
good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The
provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the
duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee or the Administrative Trustees
otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the
Securityholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Delaware
Trustee and the Administrative Trustees, as the case may be.
(b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in
respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and
proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be
sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property
Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms
hereof. With respect to the relationship of each Securityholder and the
Trustee, each Securityholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees
that it shall look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property
to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and
that the Trustees are not personally liable to it for any amount
distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in
respect of any Trust Security. This Section 801(b) does not limit the
liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust
Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture
Act.
28
<PAGE> 34
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
(c) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under
this Trust Agreement;
(iii) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the
custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the
Payment Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as
the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject
to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property
Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;
(iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on
any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor
and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the
Property Trustee pursuant to Section 301 and except to the extent otherwise
required by law; and
(v) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring
the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with their
respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee
be liable for the negligence, default or misconduct of the Administrative
Trustees or the Depositor.
SECTION 802. CERTAIN NOTICES.
(a) Within 5 Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008, notice of
such Event of Default to the Securityholders, the Administrative Trustees and
the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
For purposes of this Section 802 the term "Event of Default" means any event
that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default.
(b) The Administrative Trustees shall transmit to the Securityholders,
in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008, notice of the
Depositor's election to begin or further extend an Extended Interest Payment
Period on the Debentures (unless such election shall have been revoked)
within the time specified for transmitting such notice to the holders of the
Debentures pursuant to the Indenture as originally executed.

SECTION 803. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE.
Subject to the provisions of Section 801:
(a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel,
certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the

or (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the
Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with other
provisions contained herein; or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the
application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any
matter as to which the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote under
the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a
notice to the Depositor requesting written instructions of the Depositor as
to the course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be
instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor;
provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such
instructions of the Depositor within 10 Business Days after it has delivered
such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such
notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than 2 Business
Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking
such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Securityholders, in which event
the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith,
negligence or willful misconduct;
(c) any direction or act of the Depositor or the Administrative
Trustees contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate;
(d) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be established before
undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee
(unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence
of bad faith on its part, request and conclusively rely upon an Officer's
Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered
by the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees;
(e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording,
filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or
continuation statement, any filing under tax or securities laws or any filing
under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or reregistration
thereof;
(f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice (which
counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates) and the
advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and, in accordance with such
advice, such counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its
Affiliates, and may include any of its employees; the Property Trustee shall
have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration
of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction;
30
<PAGE> 36
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
(g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request
or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement,
unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
(h) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond,
debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Securityholders, but the
Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit;
(i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
its agents or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be
responsible for its own negligence or recklessness with respect to selection
of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder;
(j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the
Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect
to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder the
Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Trust
Securities which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same
proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled
to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in
respect of such remedy, right or action; (ii) may refrain from enforcing such
remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are
received; and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such
instructions; and
(k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement,
the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action
that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement. No
provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or
obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any
right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee
shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to
perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or
obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Property
Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.
SECTION 804. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.
The Recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates
shall be taken as the statements of the Trust, and the Trustees do not assume
any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees shall not be

the Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee or such
other agent.

EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)

Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this

either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner
provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and
this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 809. CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of
the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Property may at the time be located, the Depositor shall have power to
appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor
shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution,
delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or
proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee
either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any
part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as
separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may
be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or
Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed
necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 809.
If the Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Debenture Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power
to make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed
pursuant to this Section 809 shall either be (i) a natural person who is at
least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States; or (ii) a legal
entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall

(b) Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by
any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to
such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power,
any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged,
and delivered by the Depositor.
(c) Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the
following terms, namely:
(i) The Trust Securities shall be executed and delivered and all
rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of
securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
deposited or pledged with, the Trustees specified hereunder, shall be
exercised, solely by such Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate
trustee.
(ii) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred
or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by
such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such
co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the
instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is
to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act, in which event such rights, powers,
33
<PAGE> 39
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or
separate trustee.
(iii) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in
writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may
accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed under this Section 809, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have the power to
accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee
without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the
Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor
to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed
in the manner provided in this Section 809.
(iv) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or
any other trustee hereunder.
(v) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any
act of a co-trustee or separate trustee.
(vi) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall
be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate
trustee.
SECTION 810. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
(a) No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee")
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 811.
(b) Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Trust Securities by giving
written notice thereof to the Securityholders. If the instrument of
acceptance by the successor Trustee required by Section 811 shall not have
been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense
of the Depositor, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities.
(c) Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Common
Securityholder. If a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them,
may be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant
Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An
Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Common Securityholder at any
time.
(d) If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee
for any cause, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common
Securityholder delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust, and the successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 811. If the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee
shall resign, be removed or become incapable
34
<PAGE> 40
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the
case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred
and is continuing, the Preferred Securityholders, by Act of the
Securityholders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall
promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust, and such successor Trustee shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 811. If an Administrative Trustee
shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative
Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common Securityholder
delivered to an Administrative Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor
Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees with respect to the Trust
Securities and the Trust, and such successor Administrative Trustee or
Administrative Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 811. If no successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust
Securities shall have been so appointed by the Common Securityholder or the
Preferred Securityholders and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 811, any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of Trust
Securities on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated may
petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities.
(e) The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and
each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 1008 and shall give notice
to the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the
Property Trustee.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who
is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Depositor,
incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence
or incapacity may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of remaining
Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them; or (b) otherwise
by the Depositor (with the successor in each case being a Person who
satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees set forth
in Section 807).
SECTION 811. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, the retiring
Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an instrument hereto wherein each
successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to
the Trust Securities and the Trust and upon the execution and delivery of
such instrument the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee
shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor
Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust; but, on
request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant
Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant
Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such
retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and
the Trust.
(b) Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust
shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all
35
<PAGE> 41
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph, as the case may be.
(c) No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless

TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER
SECTION 901. TERMINATION UPON EXPIRATION DATE.
Unless earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on
March 31, 2052 (the "Expiration Date") subject to distribution of the Trust
Property in accordance with Section 904.
SECTION 902. EARLY TERMINATION.
The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early
Termination Event:"
(a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the
dissolution or liquidation of, the Depositor;
(b) delivery of written direction to the Property Trustee by the
Depositor at any time (which direction is wholly optional and within the
discretion of the Depositor) to dissolve the Trust and distribute the
Debentures to Securityholders in exchange for the Preferred Securities in
accordance with Section 904;
(c) the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection
with the redemption of all of the Debentures; and
(d) the entrance of an order for dissolution of the Trust by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 903. TERMINATION.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the
Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur
of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to
Securityholders upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 904, or
upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 402,
of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of
the Trust Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust; (c)
the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees,
including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to
the Trust or the Securityholders; and (d) the filing of a Certificate of
Cancellation by the Administrative Trustee under the Delaware Business Trust
Act.
SECTION 904. LIQUIDATION.
(a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b), or (d)
of Section 902 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Trustees as expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be
possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of
the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a Like Amount
of Debentures, subject to Section 904(d). Notice of liquidation shall be
given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not later than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each
Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the
Securities Register. All notices of liquidation shall:
38
<PAGE> 44
EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
(i) state the Liquidation Date;
(ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust
Securities shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust
Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange shall be deemed to
represent a Like Amount of Debentures; and
(iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by
which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or,
if Section 904(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the
Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall deem appropriate.
(b) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, in order to effect
the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to
Securityholders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such
distribution (which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation
Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment
of a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall
deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the
Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.
(c) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, after the
Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding; (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures shall
be issued to holders of Trust Securities Certificates upon surrender of such
certificates to the Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange;
(iii) the Depositor shall use its reasonable efforts to have the Debentures
listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market or on such other
securities exchange or other organization as the Preferred Securities are
then listed or traded; (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates not so
surrendered for exchange shall be deemed to represent a Like Amount of
Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the Debentures from
the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution was made on such Trust
Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until
such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal
shall be made to holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to
such Debentures); and (v) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust
Securities shall cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive
Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.
(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 904, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court
of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the
manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be
dissolved, wound-up or terminated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as
the Property Trustee determines. In such event, on the date of the
dissolution, winding-up or other termination of the Trust, Securityholders
shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for
distribution to Securityholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the
Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid
Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the
"Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such dissolution, winding-up or
termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because
the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate
Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the
amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro
rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The holder of the Common
Securities shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any
such dissolution, winding-up or termination pro rata (determined as
aforesaid) with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that, if a Debenture
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities
shall have a priority over
39

EXHIBIT 4(b)(2)
the Common Securities.
SECTION 905. MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, AMALGAMATIONS OR
REPLACEMENTS OF TRUST.
The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person, except
pursuant to this Section 905. At the request of the Depositor, with the
consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the holders
of the Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
the Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided,
that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the
obligations of the Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities; or (b)
substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having
substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the "Successor
Securities") so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the
Preferred Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and
payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise; (ii) the Depositor
expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity possessing
substantially the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the
holder of the Debentures; (iii) the Successor Securities are listed or
traded, or any Successor Securities shall be listed or traded upon
notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other
organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any; (iv)
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer
or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of
the holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities)
in any material respect; (v) prior to such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does
not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of
the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
respect; and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such
successor entity shall be required to register as an "investment company"
under the Investment Company Act; and (vi) the Depositor owns all of the
Common Securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of
such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent
provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall
not, except with the consent of holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be
replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other Person
to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would cause the Trust or
the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust
Agreement, nor entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such Person or

bring any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the

status as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or
the Trust's exemption from status of an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act.

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

amended.

Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement

from status of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act or to
fail or cease to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal
income tax purposes.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary,
without the consent of the Depositor, this Trust Agreement may not be amended
in a manner which imposes any additional obligation on the Depositor.
(f) In the event that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is made,
the Administrative Trustees shall promptly provide to the Depositor a copy of
such amendment.

same force and effect as though made on the date fixed for such payment, and
no distribution shall accumulate thereon for the period after such date.
SECTION 1006. SUCCESSORS.

delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was
originally payable. The amount of interest payable will be calculated by
applying the Coupon Rate to the principal amount outstanding at the
commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying each such amount by
the actual number of days (based upon a 30-day month) in the Distribution
Period concerned divided by 360. All percentages resulting from any
calculations referred to in this Indenture will be rounded, if necessary, to
the nearest multiple of 1/100 of 1%.
(c) If, at any time while the Property Trustee is the holder of any
Debentures, the Trust or the Property Trustee is required to pay any taxes,
duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than
withholding taxes) imposed by the United States, or any other taxing
authority, then, in any case, the Company shall pay as additional interest
(the "Additional Interest") on the Debentures held by the Property Trustee,
such additional amounts as shall be required so that the net amounts received
and retained by the Trust and the Property Trustee after paying such taxes,
duties, assessments or other governmental charges shall be equal to the
amounts the Trust and the Property Trustee would have received had no such
taxes, duties, assessments or other government charges been imposed.
(d) "3-Month Treasury" means the yield on United States of America
Treasury constant maturities, adjusted to a constant maturity of three (3)
months, reported by the Federal Reserve. 3-Month Treasury, with respect to
any Distribution Period, shall be determined by the Trustee as follows:
(i) On the second Business Day preceding the commencement of
such Distribution Period (each, a "Determination Date"), 3-Month
Treasury shall be the current yield for United States of America
Treasury constant maturities, adjusted to a constant maturity of three
(3) months, which appears on the applicable Federal Reserve Statistical
Release Series H.15 (519) which includes data for such Determination
Date, or as then currently furnished or made available by the Federal
Reserve if such Series is no longer published.
(ii) If, with respect to any Determination Date, the Trustee is
required but unable to determine 3-Month Treasury in the manner provided
in Section 2.5(d)(i), 3-Month Treasury for such Distribution Period
shall be 3-Month Treasury as determined on the previous Determination
Date.
(iii) The Coupon Rate for any Distribution Period shall at no time
be higher than the maximum rate then permitted by Indiana law as the
same may be modified by United States law.
(e) The Trustee shall notify the Company, the Property Trustee and any
securities exchange or interdealer quotation system on which the Preferred
Securities are listed, of the Coupon Rate and the Determination Date for each
Distribution Period, in each case as soon as practicable after the
determination thereof but in no event later than the seventh Business Day of
the relevant Distribution Period. Failure to notify the Company, the
Property Trustee or any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system,
or any defect in said notice, shall not affect the obligation of the Company
to make payment on the Debentures at the applicable Coupon Rate. Any error
in the calculation of the Coupon Rate by the Property Trustee may be
corrected at any time by notice delivered as above provided. Upon the
request of a holder of a Preferred
11
<PAGE> 17
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
Security, the Trustee shall provide the Coupon Rate then in effect and, if
determined, the Coupon Rate for the next Distribution Period.
(f) Subject to the corrective rights set forth above, all
certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations,
quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes
of the provisions relating to the payment and calculation of interest on the
Debentures and Distributions on the Preferred Securities by the Trustee or
the Property Trustee will (in the absence of willful default, bad faith and
manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding on the Trust, the Company,
and all of the holders of the Debentures and the Preferred Securities, and no
liability shall (in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest
error) attach to the Trustee or the Property Trustee in connection with the
exercise or non-exercise by either of them or their respective powers, duties
and discretion.
SECTION 2.6. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATIONS.
(a) The Debentures shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its
Chief Executive Officer, President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its
corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries.
Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. The
Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a
Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice President thereof, or of any
Person who shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary thereof,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Debentures shall be
authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to
be the Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President, or the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. The seal of the Company
may be in the form of a facsimile of such seal and may be impressed, affixed,
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debentures. The Debentures may
contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage. Each Debenture shall be dated the date of its
authentication by the Trustee.
(b) A Debenture shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an
authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery
of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debentures executed by the Company
to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the
Company for the authentication and delivery of such Debentures signed by its
Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President and its Treasurer or
any Assistant Treasurer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written
order shall authenticate and deliver such Debentures.
(d) In authenticating such Debentures and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debentures, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 9.1) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form
and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture.
(e) The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debentures
if the issue of such Debentures pursuant to this Indenture shall affect the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Debentures and this
Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.

EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
SECTION 2.7. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
(a) Debentures may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the
office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, or at the office
of the Debenture Registrar, for other Debentures and for a like aggregate
principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section 2.7.
In respect of any Debentures so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall
deliver in exchange therefor the Debenture or Debentures that the
Debentureholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing
numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
(b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or
agency designated for such purpose, or at the office of the Debenture
Registrar, or such other location designated by the Company a register or
registers (herein referred to as the "Debenture Register") in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
register the Debentures and the transfers of Debentures as in this Article II
provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by
the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Debentures and
transfer of Debentures as herein provided shall initially be the Trustee and
thereafter as may be appointed by the Company as authorized by Board
Resolution (the "Debenture Registrar"). Upon surrender for transfer of any
Debenture at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose,
the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or
agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new
Debenture or Debentures for a like aggregate principal amount. All
Debentures presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer,
as provided in this Section 2.7, shall be accompanied (if so required by the
Company or the Debenture Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Debenture Registrar,
duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder's duly authorized
attorney in writing.
(c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration
of transfer of Debentures, or issue of new Debentures in case of partial
redemption, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.8, Section 3.5(b) and Section 11.4 not
involving any transfer.
(d) The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or
register the transfer of any Debentures during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of less than all the Outstanding Debentures and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing; nor (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Debentures or portions thereof called for
redemption.
SECTION 2.8. TEMPORARY DEBENTURES.
Pending the preparation of definitive Debentures, the Company may
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debentures
(printed, lithographed, or typewritten). Such temporary Debentures shall be
substantially in the form of the definitive Debentures in lieu of which they
are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the
Company. Every temporary Debenture shall be executed by the Company and be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially
the same manner, and with like
13
<PAGE> 19
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
effect, as the definitive Debentures. Without unnecessary delay the Company
shall execute and shall furnish definitive Debentures and thereupon any or all
temporary Debentures may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge
to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the
purpose, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall
deliver in exchange for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal
amount of definitive Debentures, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the
effect that definitive Debentures need not be executed and furnished until
further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures
shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Debentures authenticated and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.9. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN DEBENTURES.
(a) In case any temporary or definitive Debenture shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next
succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company's request the
Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new
Debenture bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and
substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution
for the Debenture so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant
for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant
shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant's Debenture
and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such
substituted Debenture and deliver the same upon the written request or
authorization of the Chairman, President or any Vice-President and the
Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company. Upon the issuance of
any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Debenture that has matured
or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen,
the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize
the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a
mutilated Debenture) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to
save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to
the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.
(b) Every replacement Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.9 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the
Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture
shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder. All Debentures
shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures, and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law
or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender.
SECTION 2.10. CANCELLATION.
All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
exchange or registration of
14
<PAGE> 20
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee,
shall be canceled by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof
except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this
Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debentures held by the Trustee.
In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Debentures
in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of
disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the
Debentures, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and
until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.11. BENEFIT OF INDENTURE.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debentures, express or implied,
shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions
of Article XVI, the holders of Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any
covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants,
conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto
and of the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions of
Article XVI, the holders of Senior Indebtedness).
SECTION 2.12. AUTHENTICATION AGENT.
(a) So long as any of the Debentures remain Outstanding there may be
an Authenticating Agent for any or all such Debentures, which the Trustee
shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debentures issued
upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Debentures so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall
be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of
Debentures by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus,
as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of
any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business
to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws
to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign
immediately.
(b) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at
any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or
cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint
an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

ARTICLE III.
REDEMPTION OF DEBENTURES
SECTION 3.1. REDEMPTION.
Subject to the Company having received prior approval of the Federal
Reserve, if then required under the applicable capital guidelines or policies
of the Federal Reserve, the Company may redeem the Debentures issued
hereunder on and after the dates set forth in and in accordance with the
terms of this Article III.
SECTION 3.2. SPECIAL EVENT REDEMPTION.
Subject to the Company having received the prior approval of the
Federal Reserve, if then required under the applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the Federal Reserve, if a Special Event has occurred and is
continuing, then, notwithstanding Section 3.3, the Company shall have the
right upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to the holders
of the Debentures to redeem the Debentures, in whole but not in part, for
cash within 180 days following the occurrence of such Special Event (the
"180-Day Period") at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of
such redemption (the "Redemption Price"), provided that if at the time there
is available to the Company the opportunity to eliminate, within the 180-Day
Period, a Tax Event by taking some ministerial action (a "Ministerial
Action"), such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other
similar reasonable measure which has no adverse effect on the Company, the
Trust or the holders of the Trust Securities issued by the Trust, the Company
shall pursue such Ministerial Action in lieu of redemption, and, provided
further, that the Company shall have no right to redeem the Debentures while
it is pursuing any Ministerial Action pursuant to its obligations hereunder,
and, provided further, that, if it is determined that the taking of a
Ministerial Action would not eliminate the Tax Event within the 180-Day
Period, the Company's right to redeem the Debentures shall be restored and it
shall have no further obligations to pursue the Ministerial Action. The
Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the
date of such redemption or such earlier time as the Company determines,
provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such
Redemption Price is to be paid.
SECTION 3.3. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION BY COMPANY.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(b), except as otherwise
may be specified in this Indenture, the Company shall have the right to
redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after
March 31, 2002, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount
to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of
such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall be
made upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to the holder of
the Debentures, at the Redemption Price. If the Debentures are only
partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Debentures shall be
redeemed pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem
appropriate and fair in its discretion. The Redemption Price shall be paid
prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or at such
earlier time as the Company determines provided that the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by
10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid.
16
<PAGE> 22
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
(b) If a partial redemption of the Debentures would result in the
delisting of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust from The Nasdaq
Stock Market's National Market or any comparable level or successor listing
or any national securities exchange or other organization on which the
Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted, the Company shall not be
permitted to effect such partial redemption and may only redeem the
Debentures in whole.
SECTION 3.4. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
(a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem
all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Debentures in accordance with
the right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to
upon receipt of 45 days' written notice from the Company (which notice shall,
in the event of a partial redemption, include a representation to the effect
that such partial redemption shall not result in the delisting of the
Preferred Securities as described in Section 3.3(b) above), give notice of
such redemption to holders of the Debentures to be redeemed by mailing, first
class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and
not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at
their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Debenture Register unless
a shorter period is specified in the Debentures to be redeemed. Any notice
that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the
notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any
Debenture designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Debentures. In the case of any redemption of Debentures prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Debentures or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with any such
restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for
redemption and the Redemption Price and shall state that payment of the
Redemption Price shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office, upon
presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that interest accrued to the
date fixed for redemption shall be paid as specified in said notice and that
from and after said date interest shall cease to accrue. If less than all
the Debentures are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the
Debentures shall specify the particular Debentures to be redeemed. If the
Debentures are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that
on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new
Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof shall be issued.
(b) If less than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company
shall give the Trustee at least 45 days' notice in advance of the date fixed
for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be
redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other
manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion, the portion
or portions (equal to $25 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Debentures
to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of
the numbers of the Debentures to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The
Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect pursuant to the terms hereof,
by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice
President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part
of the Debentures for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the
manner set forth in this Section 3.4, such notice to be in the name of the
Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem
advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the
Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as
the case
17
<PAGE> 23
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
may be, such Debenture Register, transfer books or other records, or
suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or
such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the
provisions of this Section 3.4.
SECTION 3.5. PAYMENT UPON REDEMPTION.
(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as
above provided, the Debentures or portions of Debentures to be redeemed
specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the
place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest
on such Debentures or portions of Debentures shall cease to accrue on and
after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the
payment of such Redemption Price with respect to any such Debenture or
portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures on or
after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the
notice, said Debentures shall be paid and redeemed at the Redemption Price
(but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the
interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered
holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to
Section 3.3).
(b) Upon presentation of any Debenture that is to be redeemed in part
only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the
office or agency where the Debenture is presented shall deliver to the holder
thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture of authorized
denomination in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Debenture so presented.
SECTION 3.6. NO SINKING FUND.
The Debentures are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
ARTICLE IV.
EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD
SECTION 4.1. EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the
term of the Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending the
interest payment period of such Debentures for a period not exceeding 20
consecutive quarters (the "Extended Interest Payment Period"), during which
Extended Interest Payment Period no interest shall be due and payable;
provided that no Extended Interest Payment Period may extend beyond the
Maturity Date. Interest, the payment of which has been deferred because of
the extension of the interest payment period pursuant to this Section 4.1,
shall bear interest thereon at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly for each
quarter of the Extended Interest Payment Period (the "Compounded Interest").
At the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall
calculate (and deliver such calculation to the Trustee) and pay all interest
accrued and unpaid on the Debentures, including any Additional Interest and
Compounded Interest (together, the "Deferred Interest") that shall be payable
to the holders of the Debentures in whose names the Debentures are registered
in the Debenture Register on the first record date after the end of the
Extended Interest Payment Period. Before the termination of any Extended
Interest
18
<PAGE> 24
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
Payment Period, the Company may further extend such period, provided
that such period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not
exceed 20 consecutive quarters, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the
Debentures. Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and
upon the payment of all Deferred Interest then due, the Company may commence
a new Extended Interest Payment Period, subject to the foregoing
requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extended
Interest Payment Period, except at the end thereof, but the Company may
prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an
Extended Interest Payment Period.
SECTION 4.2. NOTICE OF EXTENSION.
(a) If the Property Trustee is the only registered holder of the
Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment
Period, the Company shall give written notice to the Administrative Trustees,
the Property Trustee and the Trustee of its selection of such Extended
Interest Payment Period two Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next
succeeding date on which Distributions on the Trust Securities issued by the
Trust are payable; or (ii) the date the Trust is required to give notice of
the record date, or the date such Distributions are payable, to The Nasdaq
Stock Market's National Market or other applicable self-regulatory
organization or to holders of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust,
but in any event at least one Business Day before such record date.
(b) If the Property Trustee is not the only holder of the Debentures
at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the
Company shall give the holders of the Debentures and the Trustee written
notice of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period at least two
Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date; or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record
or payment date of such interest payment to The Nasdaq Stock Market's
National Market or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to
holders of the Debentures.
(c) The quarter in which any notice is given pursuant to paragraphs
(a) or (b) of this Section 4.2 shall be counted as one of the 20 quarters
permitted in the maximum Extended Interest Payment Period permitted under
Section 4.1.
SECTION 4.3. LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS.
If (i) the Company shall exercise its right to defer payment of
interest as provided in Section 4.1 or (ii) there shall have occurred any
Event of Default, then (a) the Company shall not declare or pay any dividends
or distributions on or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation
payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (i) dividends
or distributions in common stock of the Company, or any declaration of a
non-cash dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders'
rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or
the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, and (ii)
purchases of common stock of the Company related to the rights under any of
the Company's benefit plans for its directors, officers or employees); (b)
the Company shall not make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if
any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the
Company which rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the Debentures;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Company may make
payments pursuant to its obligations under the Preferred Securities
Guarantee; and (c) the Company shall not redeem, purchase or acquire less
than all of the outstanding Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF COMPANY
SECTION 5.1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.
The Company shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal of and interest on the Debentures at the time and place and in the
manner provided herein. Each such payment of the principal of or interest on
the Debentures shall relate only to the Debentures, shall not be combined
with any other payment of the principal of or interest on any other
obligation of the Company, and shall be clearly and unmistakably identified
as pertaining to the Debentures.
SECTION 5.2. MAINTENANCE OF AGENCY.

the Company shall cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3:
(i) that it shall hold all sums held by it as such agent for the
payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures (whether such
sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such
Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;
(ii) that it shall give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
Company (or by any other obligor of such Debentures) to make any payment
of the principal of or interest on the Debentures when the same shall be
due and payable;
(iii) that it shall, at any time during the continuance of any
failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(ii) above, upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent; and
20

EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
(iv) that it shall perform all other duties of Paying Agent as
set forth in this Indenture.
(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to
the Debentures, it shall on or before each due date of the principal of or
interest on such Debentures, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such
principal or interest so becoming due on Debentures until such sums shall be
paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any
other obligor on such Debentures) to take such action. Whenever the Company
shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Debentures, it shall, prior to
each due date of the principal of or interest on any Debentures, deposit with
the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of this action or
failure so to act.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, (i)
the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 5.3 is
subject to the provisions of Section 13.3 and 13.4; and (ii) the Company may
at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any Paying Agent to
pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying
Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions
as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent;
and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Debentures in

default in the payment of principal;
(iii) the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its
covenants or agreements with respect to the Debentures for a period of
90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a

(iii) certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, each as

(b) In each and every such case referred to in items (i) through (vi)

already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding
hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given

of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on
Debentures that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been
remedied or waived as provided in Section 7.6. No such rescission and
annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereon.
(d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with
respect to Debentures under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for
any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored
respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights,

thereof) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum
expressed in the Debentures; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the
amount payable to the Trustee under Section 9.7.

or under any of the terms established with respect to Debentures, may be
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Debentures, or
the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and
any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its
own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section
9.7, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debentures. In case of
an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant

as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby; and (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such

of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of
the Debentures, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the
performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this
Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Debentures.
(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the
Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default
occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power,
or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, every power and
remedy given by this Article VII or by law to the Trustee or the
Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.

any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, the Trustee shall have
the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good
faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine
that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the

contained in Section 5.6; or (iii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder
of each Outstanding Debenture affected; provided, however, that if the
Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, such waiver or
modification to such waiver shall not be effective until the holders of a
majority in liquidation preference of Trust Securities of the Trust shall
have consented to such waiver or modification to such waiver; provided
further, that if the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture is
required, such waiver shall not be effective until each holder of the Trust
Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such waiver. Upon any such
waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all
purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of
the Debentures shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and

reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.7 shall not apply
to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Debentureholder, or group of Debentureholders holding more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures, or to any suit
instituted by any Debentureholder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Debentures, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Debenture or established pursuant to this Indenture.

after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform with respect to the Debentures such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an
Event of Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture,
and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs.
(b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(1) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred:
(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with
respect to the Debentures be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable
with respect to the Debentures except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or
30
<PAGE> 36
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee;
and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
the Trustee may with respect to the Debentures 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 Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to
be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to
examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture;
(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(3) the 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 principal amount
of the Debentures at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee
under this Indenture with respect to the Debentures; and
(4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall
require the 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 is reasonable
ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is
not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or
adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 9.2. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.
Within 90 days after actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee of the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the
Debentures, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all holders of the
Debentures, as their names and addresses appear in the Debenture Register,
notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that, except in the case default in the payment of the
principal or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Debenture,
the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as
the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of the
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee determines in good faith
that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of
such Debentures; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of
the character specified in section 7.1(a)(iii), no such notice to holders of
Debentures need be sent until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.
For the purposes of this Section 9.2, the term "default" means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both, would become, an Event of
Default with respect to the Debentures.
SECTION 9.3. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1:
31
<PAGE> 37
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
(a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond,
security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument
signed in the name of the Company by the President or any Vice President and
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically
prescribed herein);
(c) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default or
an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default specified in Section
7.1(a)(i) or (ii), unless and until it receives written notification of such
Event of Default from the Company or by holders of at least 25% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding;
(d) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of
such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;
(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Debentureholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Debentureholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect
to the Debentures such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as
a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs;
(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
(g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond,
security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing so to do
by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debentures (determined as provided in Section 10.4); provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or
liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every
such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee,
shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and
(h) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
32
<PAGE> 38
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder.
SECTION 9.4. TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS, ETC.
(a) The Recitals contained herein and in the Debentures shall be taken
as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the same.
(b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debentures.
(c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Company of any of the Debentures or of the proceeds of such Debentures,
or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in
accordance with any provision of this Indenture, or for the use or
application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the
Trustee.
SECTION 9.5. MAY HOLD DEBENTURES.
The Trustee or any Paying Agent or Debenture Registrar for the
Debentures, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, Paying Agent or Debenture Registrar.
SECTION 9.6. MONEYS HELD IN TRUST.
Subject to the provisions of Section 13.5, all moneys received by the
Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such
as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.
SECTION 9.7. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time
agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the
trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Trustee
upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee
(and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence
or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.
33
<PAGE> 39
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9.7 to
compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness
hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to
that of the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the
Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of
particular Debentures.
SECTION 9.8. RELIANCE ON OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking
or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed
to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence
or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee
for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.
SECTION 9.9. DISQUALIFICATION: CONFLICTING INTERESTS.
If the Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within
the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the
Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act.
SECTION 9.10. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.
There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Debentures
issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or
Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other
Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by
federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law
or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 9.10, the combined capital and surplus
of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company
may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled
by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.10, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.11.
SECTION 9.11. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time
resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting
notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture
Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to
34
<PAGE> 40
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
Debentures by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board
of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee
with respect to Debentures, or any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide
holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, subject to
the provisions of Section 9.9, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.
Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur
(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
Section 9.9 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or
Debentures for at least six months; or
(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9.10 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholder; or
(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy
proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the
Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Debentures and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 9.9,
unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any
Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or
Debentures for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may
deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.
(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee
with the consent of the Company.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee with respect to the Debentures pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 9.11 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 9.12.
(e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.11 may
be appointed with respect to the Debentures, and at any time there shall be
only one Trustee with respect to the Debentures.

EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
SECTION 9.12. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with
respect to the Debentures, every successor trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee
an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but,
on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of
the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.
(b) Upon request of any successor trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts
referred to in Section 9.12(a).
(c) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article IX.
(d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided
in this Section 9.12, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture
Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 9.13. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO
BUSINESS.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such
corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 9.9 and
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.10, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any
Debentures shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee
then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Debentures so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
had itself authenticated such Debentures.
SECTION 9.14. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE
COMPANY.
The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture
Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be
subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included
therein.

ARTICLE X.
CONCERNING DEBENTUREHOLDERS
SECTION 10.1. EVIDENCE OF ACTION BY HOLDERS.
(a) Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a
majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or
request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any
other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the
holders of such majority or specified percentage have joined therein may be
evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor
executed by such holders of Debentures in Person or by agent or proxy
appointed in writing.
(b) If the Company shall solicit from the Debentureholders any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of
Debentureholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall
have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may
be given before or after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of
record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be
Debentureholders for the purposes of determining whether Debentureholders of
the requisite proportion of Outstanding Debentures have authorized or agreed
or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Debentures shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that
no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Debentureholders on the
record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after
the record date.
SECTION 10.2. PROOF OF EXECUTION BY DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, proof of the execution of any
instrument by a Debentureholder (such proof shall not require notarization)
or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the
Debentures shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:
(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any
instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.
(b) The ownership of Debentures shall be proved by the Debenture
Register of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar
thereof.
(c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter
referred to in this Section 10.2 as it shall deem necessary.
SECTION 10.3. WHO MAY BE DEEMED OWNERS.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating
Agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the Person
37
<PAGE> 43
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the books of the Company
as the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made
by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving
payment of or on account of the principal of and interest on such Debenture
(subject to Section 2.3) and for all other purposes; and neither the Company
nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Authenticating Agent nor any
Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 10.4. CERTAIN DEBENTURES OWNED BY COMPANY DISREGARDED.
In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Debentures have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under
this Indenture, the Debentures that are owned by the Company or any other
obligor on the Debentures or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling
or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other
obligor on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such direction, consent or waiver, only Debentures that the Trustee
actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Debentures so owned
that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the
purposes of this Section 10.4, if the pledgee shall establish to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to
such Debentures and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such
right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be
full protection to the Trustee.
SECTION 10.5. ACTIONS BINDING ON FUTURE DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 10.1, of the taking of any action by the holders of the
majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a
Debenture that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the
holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice
with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 10.2,
revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid any
such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and
binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such
Debenture, and of any Debenture issued in exchange therefor, on registration
of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any
notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture. Any action taken by
the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of
the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders
of all the Debentures.
ARTICLE XI.

In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise authorized by this
Indenture, the Company and
38
<PAGE> 44
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the
Debentureholders, for one or more of the following purposes:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency herein or in the
Debentures;
(b) to comply with Article X;
(c) to provide for uncertificated Debentures in addition to or in
place of certificated Debentures;
(d) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
holders of all or any of the Debentures or to surrender any right or power
herein conferred upon the Company;
(e) to add to, delete from, or revise the conditions, limitations, and
restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue,
authentication, and delivery of Debentures, as herein set forth;

(h) qualify or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of
any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee
shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that
affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of
this Section 11.1 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the
consent of the holders of any of the Debentures at the time Outstanding,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.2.
SECTION 11.2. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF
DEBENTUREHOLDERS.
With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 10.1) of the holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions,
and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture
or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any
manner not covered by Section 11.1 the rights of the holders of the
Debentures under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall without the consent of the holders of each Debenture then
Outstanding and affected thereby, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any
Debentures, reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest thereon, without the consent of the holder of
each
39
<PAGE> 45
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
Debenture so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental
indenture; provided further, that if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a
trustee of the Trust, such supplemental indenture shall not be effective until
the holders of a majority in liquidation preference of Trust Securities of the
Trust shall have consented to such supplemental indenture; provided further,
that if the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture is required,
such supplemental indenture shall not be effective until each holder of the
Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such supplemental
indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Debentureholders
affected thereby under this Section 11.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof.
SECTION 11.3. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article XI, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,

thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and
conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be
part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
SECTION 11.4. DEBENTURES AFFECTED BY SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
Debentures affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and
delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article XI, may bear a notation in form approved by the
Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon which
the Debentures may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Debentures so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the
Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debentures then Outstanding.
SECTION 11.5. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
(a) Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by its Board
Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
Debentureholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall

immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may
in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental
indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 9.1, may
receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental

thereof.

the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Debentureholders as their
names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. Any failure of the
Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 12.1. COMPANY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC.
Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Debentures shall
prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other

Company, as the case may be, or its successor or successors shall be a party
or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or other

the Company, of the principal of and interest on all of the Debentures,
according to their tenor and the due and punctual performance and observance
of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be kept or performed
by the Company as the case may be, shall be expressly assumed, by
supplemental indenture (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, as then in effect) satisfactory in form to the Trustee
executed and delivered to the Trustee by the entity formed by such
consolidation, or into which the Company, as the case may be, shall have been
merged, or by the entity which shall have acquired such property; (ii) in
case the Company consolidates with or merges into another Person or conveys
or transfers its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
Person, the successor Person is organized under the laws of the United States
or any state or the District of Columbia; and (iii) immediately after giving
effect thereto, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or
lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred
and be continuing.

and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of, the due and punctual payment of
the principal of and interest on all of the Debentures Outstanding and the
due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed by the Company, such successor corporation shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it
had been named as the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor
corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Debentures.
(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance,
transfer or other disposition such
41

EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Debentures thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

or otherwise all or any part of the property of any other Person (whether or
not affiliated with the Company).

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, may receive an
Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation,

the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due or to
become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case

to be of further effect except for the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.7, 2.9,

<PAGE> 48
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
all Debentures not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
including principal and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity
or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and if the Company shall
also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company,
then after the date such moneys or Governmental Obligations, as the case may
be, are deposited with the Trustee, the obligations of the Company under this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect except for the provisions of
Sections 2.3, 2.7, 2.9, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 9.6, 9.10 and 13.5 hereof that shall
survive until such Debentures shall mature and be paid. Thereafter, Sections
9.6 and 13.5 shall survive.
SECTION 13.3. DEPOSITED MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.
All monies or Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Sections 13.1 or 13.2 shall be held in trust and shall be

Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee.

date upon which the principal of or interest on such Debentures shall have
respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company, as the
case may be, on May 31 of each year or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and thereupon the Paying Agent and the Trustee
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys or
Governmental Obligations, and the holder of any of the Debentures entitled to
receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Company for the payment thereof.

EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
SECTION 15.10. COUNTERPARTS.
This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 15.11. SEPARABILITY.
In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Indenture
or in the Debentures shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provisions of this Indenture or of the Debentures,
but this Indenture and the Debentures shall be construed as if such invalid
or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or
therein.
SECTION 15.12. ASSIGNMENT.
The Company shall have the right at all times to assign any of its
respective rights or obligations under this Indenture to a direct or indirect

benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns.
This Indenture may not otherwise be assigned by the parties thereto.
SECTION 15.13. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RIGHTS.
The Company acknowledges that, with respect to any Debentures held by
the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, if the Property Trustee fails to enforce
its rights under this Indenture as the holder of the Debentures held as the
assets of the Trust, any holder of Preferred Securities may institute legal
proceedings directly against the Company to enforce such Property Trustee's
rights under this Indenture without first instituting any legal proceedings
against such Property Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such
event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest or
principal on the Debentures on the date such interest or principal is
otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the
Company acknowledges that a holder of Preferred Securities may directly
institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such holder of the
principal of or interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities of such holder
on or after the respective due date specified in the Debentures.
ARTICLE XVI.
SUBORDINATION OF DEBENTURES
SECTION 16.1. AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE.
The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of Debentures issued
hereunder by such holder's acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees,
that all Debentures shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article
XVI; and each holder of a Debenture, whether upon original issue or upon
transfer
46
<PAGE> 52
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The
payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on all Debentures
issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth,
be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations
(collectively, "Senior Indebtedness") to the extent provided herein, whether
outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred; provided,
however, that the Debentures shall rank pari passu in right of payment with
the Company's 9.00% Subordinated Debentures due 2027, issued pursuant to the
Indenture, dated as of March 21, 1997, with respect to such debentures by and
between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee
thereunder. No provision of this Article XVI shall prevent the occurrence of
any default or Event of Default hereunder.
SECTION 16.2. DEFAULT ON SENIOR DEBT, SUBORDINATED DEBT OR ADDITIONAL SENIOR
OBLIGATIONS.
In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company
in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on
any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or in the event that the maturity of
any Senior Indebtedness of the Company has been accelerated because of a
default, then, in either case, no payment shall be made by the Company with
respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of or interest on
the Debentures. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by
the preceding sentence of this Section 16.2, such payment shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders
of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee
or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear,
but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their
representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing
within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the
Senior Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the
Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 16.3. LIQUIDATION; DISSOLUTION; BANKRUPTCY.
(a) Upon any payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due upon all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full, or payment
thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any
payment is made by the Company on account of the principal or interest on the
Debentures; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or
reorganization, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
which the holders of the Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled to
receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this Article XVI,
shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy,
liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, or by the holders of the Debentures or by the Trustee under
this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the
respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated
by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee
or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing
such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests
may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior
47
<PAGE> 53
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
Indebtedness in full, in money or money's worth, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of
Debentures or to the Trustee.
(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received
by the Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full,
or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms,
such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and
shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or
their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under
any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, and their respective interests may appear,
as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the
extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in
accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.
(c) For purposes of this Article XVI, the words "cash, property or
securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other
corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the
payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this
Article XVI with respect to the Debentures to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, that may at the time be
outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new
corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment;
and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not,
without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or
readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the
Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety,
or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and
conditions provided for in Article XII shall not be deemed a dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section
16.3 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation,
merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article
XII. Nothing in Section 16.2 or in this Section 16.3 shall apply to claims
of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.7.
SECTION 16.4. SUBROGATION.
(a) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, the rights of the holders of the Debentures shall be subrogated to
the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may
be, applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and
interest on the Debentures shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of
such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the holders of the
Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this
Article XVI, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article
XVI to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by
holders of the Debentures or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the
holders of the Debentures, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on
account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of
this Article XVI are and are intended
48
<PAGE> 54
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the holders of the
Debentures, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on
the other hand.
(b) Nothing contained in this Article XVI or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company), and the holders of the Debentures, the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Debentures
the principal of and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or
shall affect the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures and
creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XVI
of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or
securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of
any such remedy.
(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred
to in this Article XVI, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article IX,
and the holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are
pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation
trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered
to the Trustee or to the holders of the Debentures, for the purposes of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, as the
case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts
paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article XVI.

<PAGE> 55
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
SECTION 16.5. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION.
Each holder of Debentures by such holder's acceptance thereof
authorizes and directs the Trustee on such holder's behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article XVI and appoints the Trustee such holder's
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 16.6. NOTICE BY COMPANY.
(a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit
the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVI. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article XVI or any other provision of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts
that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVI,
unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall
be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided,
however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for
in this Section 16.6 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which
by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including,
without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any
Debenture), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to
apply the same to the purposes for which they were received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two
Business Days prior to such date.
(b) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice
has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf
of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in
good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment
or distribution pursuant to this Article XVI, the Trustee may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as
to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to
which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution
and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article
XVI, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment.
SECTION 16.7. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE; HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.
(a) The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all
the rights set forth in this Article XVI in respect of any Senior
Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder
of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the

any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms,
provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge
thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 16.8(a), the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time and from time
to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the holders of
the Debentures, without incurring responsibility to the holders of the

CUSIP No. 336901 AD 5
1ST SOURCE CORPORATION
FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
DUE MARCH 31, 2027
1st Source Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the "Company," which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to State Street Bank
and Trust Company, as Property Trustee, or registered assigns, the principal
sum of ($----------) on March 31, 2027 (the "Stated Maturity"), and to pay
interest on said principal sum from ----------, 1997, or from the most recent
interest payment date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as
set forth herein) in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December
31 of each year, with the first installment of interest to be paid on June 30,
1997, at a rate per annum of ----% for the period beginning on (and
including) the date of original issuance and ending on (but excluding) March
31, 1997 and at a rate per annum for each successive period beginning on (and
including) March 31, 1997, and each succeeding Interest Payment Date, and
ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (each, a
"Distribution Period"), determined by reference to 3-Month Treasury,
determined as described below, plus ----% applied to the principal amount
hereof, until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on
any overdue principal and (without duplication) on any overdue installment of
interest at the same rate per annum compounded quarterly. The amount of
interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest for any
partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed
in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on
which interest is payable on this Debenture is not a business day, then
payment of interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day (as defined in the Indenture) (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force
and effect as if made on such date. "3-Month Treasury," as used herein,
means the yield on United States of America Treasury constant maturities,
adjusted to a constant maturity of three (3) months, reported by the Federal
Reserve. 3-Month Treasury, with respect to any Distribution Period, shall be
determined by the Trustee (as defined below and in the Indenture) as follows:
(i) On the second Business Day preceding the commencement of such
Distribution Period (each a "Determination Date"), 3-Month Treasury shall be
the current yield for United States of America Treasury constant maturities,
adjusted to a constant maturity of three (3) months, which appears on the
applicable Federal Reserve Statistical Release Series H.15 (519) which
includes data for such Determination Date, or
Exhibit A-1
<PAGE> 61
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
as then currently furnished or made available by the Federal Reserve if such
Series is no longer published; and (ii) if, with respect to any Determination
Date, the Trustee is required but unable to determine 3-Month Treasury in the
manner provided in clause (i) above, 3-Month Treasury for such Distribution
Period shall be 3-Month Treasury as determined on the previous Determination
Date. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more
Predecessor Debentures, as defined in the Indenture) is registered at the
close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment,
which shall be the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter in
which such Interest Payment Date occurs unless otherwise provided in the
Indenture. The principal of and the interest on this Debenture shall be
payable at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in
any coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided,
however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by
check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the
Debenture Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of
this Debenture is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of and
interest on this Debenture shall be made at such place and to such account as
may be designated by the Trustee.
The Stated Maturity may be shortened at any time by the Company to any
date not earlier than March 31, 2002, subject to the Company having received
prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required under applicable
capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve. Such date may also be
extended at any time at the election of the Company for one or more periods,
but in no event to a date later than March 31, 2046, subject to certain
limitations described in the Indenture.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is, to the extent provided
in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, but shall rank pari passu in
right of payment with the ----% Subordinated Debentures due 2027 of the
Company issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of March ----, 1997, with
respect to such debentures by and between the Company and State Street Bank
and Trust Company, as trustee thereunder. This Debenture is issued subject
to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each holder of this
Debenture, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions; (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to
take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination so provided; and (c) appoints the Trustee his or
her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each holder hereof, by
his or her acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the acceptance of
the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each
holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred,
and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.
This Debenture shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the
Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf
of the Trustee.
The provisions of this Debenture are continued on the reverse side
hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same
effect as though fully set forth at this place.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE]
FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
(CONTINUED)
This Debenture is one of the subordinated debentures of the Company,
(herein sometimes referred to as the "Debentures"), all issued or to be
issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of March --, 1997 (the
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered between the Company and State
Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Indenture
reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the
Company and the holders of the Debentures. The Debentures are limited in
aggregate principal amount as specified in the Indenture.
Company shall have the right, as set forth in the Indenture, to redeem
this Debenture at the option of the Company, without premium or penalty, in
whole or in part at any time on or after March 31, 2002 (an "Optional
Redemption"), or at any time in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of
a Special Event, at a redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to 100%
of the principal amount hereof plus any accrued but unpaid interest hereon,
to the date of such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph
shall be made upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice, at the
Redemption Price. The Redemption Price shall be paid at the time and in the
manner provided therefor in the Indenture. If the Debentures are only
partially redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the
Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method
utilized by the Trustee as described in the Indenture. In the event of an
Optional Redemption of this Debenture in part only, a new Debenture or
Debentures for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of
the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debentures may be
declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the
manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the
Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding (as
defined in the Indenture) to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debentures;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the
fixed maturity of the Debentures except as provided in the Indenture, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, without the consent of the holder of each
Debenture so affected; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental
indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Debenture then
outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures at the time outstanding, on behalf of all of the holders of the
Debentures, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the
covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the
Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. Any such consent or
waiver by the registered holder of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided
in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon
all future holders and owners of this Debenture and of any Debenture issued
in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer
or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Debenture.
Exhibit A-5
<PAGE> 65
EXHIBIT 4(c)(1)
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest on
this Debenture at the time and place and at the rate and in the money herein
prescribed.
The Company, as further described in the Indenture, shall have the
right at any time during the term of the Debentures and from time to time to
extend the interest payment period of such Debentures for up to 20
consecutive quarters (each, an "Extended Interest Payment Period"), at the
end of which period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and
unpaid (together with interest thereon at the rate specified for the
Debentures to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law). Before the termination of any such Extended Interest
Payment Period, the Company may further extend such Extended Interest Payment
Period, provided that such Extended Interest Payment Period together with all
such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters. At
the termination of any such Extended Interest Payment Period and upon the
payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts then
due, the Company may commence a new Extended Interest Payment Period.
As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered holder
hereof on the Debenture Register (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Company, upon surrender of this Debenture for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Trustee accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee
duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debentures of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made
for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent (as defined in the
Indenture) and the Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the registered
holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debenture
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing
hereon made by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and interest due
hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee
nor any Paying Agent nor any Debentures Registrar shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the
interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as
such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether
by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement
of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the
acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof,
expressly waived and released.
The Debentures are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $25 and any integral multiple thereof.
All terms used in this Debenture that are defined in the Indenture
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

the Trust to fail or cease to qualify as a "grantor trust" for United States
federal income tax purposes; (iv) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money
or issue any other debt; or (v) take or consent to any action that would
result in the placement of a Lien on any of the Trust Property. The
Administrative Trustees shall defend all claims and demands of all Persons at
any time claiming any Lien on any of the Trust Property adverse to the
interest of the Trust or the Securityholders in their capacity as
Securityholders.
(c) In connection with the issue and sale of the Preferred
Securities, the Depositor shall have the right and responsibility to assist
the Trust with respect to, or effect on behalf of the Trust, the following
(and any actions taken by the Depositor in furtherance of the following prior
to the date of this Trust Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed in all
respects):
(i) the preparation and filing by the Trust with the Commission
and the execution on behalf of the Trust of a registration statement on the
appropriate form in relation to the Preferred Securities and the Debentures,
including any amendments thereto;
(ii) the determination of the States in which to take
appropriate action to qualify or register for sale all or part of the
Preferred Securities and to do any and all such acts, other than actions
which must be taken by or on behalf of the Trust, and advise the Trustees of
actions they must take on behalf of the Trust, and prepare for execution and
filing any documents to be executed and filed by the Trust or on behalf of
the Trust, as the Depositor deems necessary or advisable in order to comply
with the applicable laws of any such States;
12
<PAGE> 18
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
(iii) the preparation for filing by the Trust and execution on
behalf of the Trust of an application to The Nasdaq Stock Market's National

(vi) the taking of any other actions necessary or desirable to
carry out any of the foregoing activities.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Administrative Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of
the Trust and to operate the Trust so that the Trust shall not be deemed to
be an "investment company" required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act, shall be classified as a "grantor trust" and not as an
association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes and so that the Debentures shall be treated as indebtedness of the
Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes. In this connection,
subject to Section 1002, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees are
authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable law or this
Trust Agreement, that each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees
determines in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such
purposes.

SECTION 209. TITLE TO TRUST PROPERTY.

PAYMENT ACCOUNT
SECTION 301. PAYMENT ACCOUNT.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Property Trustee shall

with respect to the Payment Account for the purpose of making deposits and

13
<PAGE> 19
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
(and subject to) any priority of payments provided for herein.
(b) The Property Trustee shall deposit in the Payment Account,

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION
SECTION 401. DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and
shall accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for
the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accumulate from March 21,
1997, and, except during any Extended Interest Payment Period with respect to
the Debentures, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on June 30, 1997. If
any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities
is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on
the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or
other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as
if made on such date (each date on which distributions are payable in
accordance with this Section 401(a), a "Distribution Date").
(b) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in
the Trust Property. The Distributions on the Trust Securities shall accrue
for the period beginning on (and including) the date of original issuance and
ending on (but excluding) March 31, 1997 shall be at a rate per annum of
7.50%, and for each successive period beginning on (and including) March 31,
1997, and each succeeding Distribution Date, and ending on (but excluding)
the next succeeding Distribution Date (each, a "Distribution Period"), shall
be at a rate per annum determined by reference to 3-Month Treasury,
determined as described in Section 401(e), plus 2.25% (the "Distribution
Rate"). The amount of Distributions payable for any full period shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount
of Distributions for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of the
number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months.
Distributions will be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the
Liquidation Amount of each Preferred Security outstanding at the commencement
of the Distribution Period and multiplying each such amount by the actual
number of days (based upon a 30-day month) in the Distribution Period
concerned divided by 360. All percentages resulting from any calculations
referred to in this Trust Agreement will be rounded, if necessary, to the
nearest multiple of 1/100 of 1%. During any Extended Interest Payment Period
with respect to the Debentures, Distributions on the Preferred Securities
shall be deferred for a period equal to the Extended Interest Payment Period.
The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include the
Additional Amounts, if any.
(c) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the
Property Trustee solely from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each
Distribution Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand
and immediately available by 12:30 p.m. on each Distribution Date in the
Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions.
(d) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a
Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on
the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record
14
<PAGE> 20
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
date, which shall be the 15th day of the month in which the Distribution is
payable.
(e) "3-Month Treasury" means the yield on United States of America
Treasury constant maturities, adjusted to a constant maturity of three (3)
months, reported by the Federal Reserve. 3-Month Treasury, with respect to
any Distribution Period, shall be determined by the Debenture Trustee,
pursuant to the Indenture, as follows:
(i) On the second Business Day preceding the commencement of
such Distribution Period (each, a "Determination Date"), 3-Month
Treasury shall be the current yield for United States of America
Treasury constant maturities, adjusted to a constant maturity of three
(3) months, which appears on the applicable Federal Reserve Statistical
Release Series H.15 (519) which includes data for such Determination
Date, or as then currently furnished or made available by the Federal
Reserve if such Series is no longer published.
(ii) If, with respect to any Determination Date, the Debenture
Trustee is required but unable to determine 3-Month Treasury in the
manner provided in Section 401(e)(i), 3-Month Treasury for such
Distribution Period shall be 3-Month Treasury as determined on the
previous Determination Date.
(iii) The Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period shall at
no time be higher than the maximum rate then permitted by Indiana law as
the same may be modified by United States law.
(f) The Debenture Trustee, pursuant to the Indenture, shall notify the
Depositor, the Property Trustee and any securities exchange or interdealer
quotation system on which the Preferred Securities are listed of the
Distribution Rate and the Distribution Date for each Distribution Period, in
each case as soon as practicable after the determination thereof but in no
event later than the seventh Business Day of the relevant Distribution
Period. Failure to notify the Depositor, the Property Trustee or any
securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, or any defect in said
notice, shall not affect the obligation of the Depositor to make payment on
the Debentures at the applicable Distribution Rate. Any error in the
calculation of the Distribution Rate by the Debenture Trustee may be
corrected at any time by notice delivered as above provided. Upon the
request of any holder of a Preferred Security, the Debenture Trustee shall,
pursuant to the Indenture, provide the Distribution Rate then in effect and,
if determined, the Distribution Rate for the next Distribution Period.
(g) Subject to the corrective rights set forth above, all
certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations,
quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes
of the provisions relating to the payment and calculation of interest on the
Debentures and Distributions on the Preferred Securities by the Debenture
Trustee or the Property Trustee shall (in the absence of willful default, bad
faith and manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding on the Trust, the
Depositor and all of the holders of the Debentures and the Preferred
Securities, and no liability shall (in the absence of willful default, bad
faith or manifest error) attach to the Debenture Trustee or the Property
Trustee in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by either of them or
their respective powers, duties and discretion.
SECTION 402. REDEMPTION.
(a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of
the Debentures, the Trust shall be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust
Securities at the Redemption Price.
15
<PAGE> 21
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
(b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be
redeemed, at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. The
Property Trustee shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any CUSIP
number contained in such notice. All notices of redemption shall state:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Redemption Price;
(iii) the CUSIP number;
(iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be
redeemed, the identification and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
particular Trust Securities to be redeemed; and
(v) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall
become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that
Distributions thereon shall cease to accumulate on and after said date.
(c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be
redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous
redemption of Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made
and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the
extent that the Trust has immediately available funds then on hand and
available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.
(d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect
of any Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Redemption Date, subject to Section 402(c), the Property Trustee shall
deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable
Redemption Price and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and
authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender
of their Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust
Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such
Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust
Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates.
If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as
required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Securityholders
holding Trust Securities so called for redemption shall cease, except the
right of such Securityholders to receive the Redemption Price and any
Distribution payable on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without
interest, and such Trust Securities shall cease to be Outstanding. In the
event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a
Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date shall
be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force
and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the
Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is
improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the
Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities
shall continue to accumulate, at the then applicable rate, from the
Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities
to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual
payment date shall be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.
(e) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be
made to the record holders
16
<PAGE> 22
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on
the relevant record date, which shall be the date 15 days prior to the
relevant Redemption Date.
(f) Subject to Section 403(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust
Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a
pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and
the Preferred Securities. The particular Preferred Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Property Trustee from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously
called for redemption, by such method (including, without limitation, by lot)
as the Property Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide
for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $25 or an integral
multiple of $25 in excess thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of Preferred
Securities of a denomination larger than $25. The Property Trustee shall
promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Preferred
Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to
be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context
otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Preferred
Securities shall relate, in the case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or
to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Liquidation Amount of
Preferred Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.
SECTION 403. SUBORDINATION OF COMMON SECURITIES.
(a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if
applicable) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as
applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 402(f), pro rata among the
Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any
Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a
Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment
of any Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or
Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of
the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall
be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid
Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all
Outstanding Preferred Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on
or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full
amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities then
called for redemption, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds
immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the
payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including Additional Amounts,
if applicable) on, or the Redemption Price of, Preferred Securities then due
and payable.
(b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting
from a Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of Common Securities shall be
deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of
Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of
Default with respect to the Preferred Securities shall have been cured,
waived or otherwise eliminated. Until any such Event of Default under this
Trust Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities shall have been so
cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely
on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and not the Holder of
the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities shall
have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.
SECTION 404. PAYMENT PROCEDURES.
Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable)
in respect of the Preferred Securities shall be made by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
17

EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
appear on the Securities Register. Payments in respect of the Common
Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between
the Property Trustee and the Common Securityholder.
SECTION 405. TAX RETURNS AND REPORTS.
The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at
the Depositor's expense, and file all United States federal, state and local
tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect
of the Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare
and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue
Service form required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable
year of the Trust; and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and
furnished) to each Securityholder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service
form required to be furnished to such Securityholder or the information
required to be provided on such form. The Administrative Trustees shall
provide the Depositor with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly
after such filing or furnishing. The Property Trustee shall comply with
United States federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and
information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to
Securityholders under the Trust Securities.
SECTION 406. PAYMENT OF TAXES, DUTIES, ETC. OF TRUST.
Upon receipt under the Debentures of Additional Interest, the Property
Trustee, at the direction of an Administrative Trustee or the Depositor,
shall promptly pay any taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever
nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United
States or any other taxing authority.
SECTION 407. PAYMENTS UNDER INDENTURE.
Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities
shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder has
directly received under the Indenture pursuant to Section 514(b) or (c)
hereof.

Sections 504 and 511.

An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as the Property Trustee to deal
with the Depositor or the Trust.
SECTION 504. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF
PREFERRED SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 508, a register or registers for the
purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and
exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates (herein referred to as the
"Securities Register") in which the registrar designated by the Depositor
(the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Preferred Securities
Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 510 in

new Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such
Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The Securities Registrar shall not be

<PAGE> 25
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount
upon surrender of the Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 508.
(c) Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Property Trustee and the
Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently
disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its customary
practice. The Trust shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer
of, or exchange any Preferred Securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 calendar days before the date of mailing of a notice
of redemption of any Preferred Securities called for redemption and ending at
the close of business on the day of such mailing; or (ii) register the
transfer of or exchange any Preferred Securities so selected for redemption,
in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Preferred
Securities being redeemed in part.
(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Securities
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.
SECTION 505. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN TRUST
SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.
If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust
Securities Certificate; and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of

behalf of the Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like
class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new
Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 505, the Administrative
Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 505 shall constitute conclusive evidence of an
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 506. PERSONS DEEMED SECURITYHOLDERS.
The Trustees, the Paying Agent and the Securities Registrar shall treat
the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered
in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate
for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall be
bound by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 507. ACCESS TO LIST OF SECURITYHOLDERS' NAMES AND
ADDRESSES.
At any time when the Property Trustee is not also acting as the
Securities Registrar, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Property Trustee (a) semi-annually on
or before January 15 and July 15 in each year, a list, in such form as the
Property
20
<PAGE> 26
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Securityholders as of the most recent record date; and (b) promptly after
receipt by any Administrative Trustee or the Depositor of a request therefor
from the Property Trustee in order to enable the Property Trustee to
discharge its obligations under this Trust Agreement, in each case to the
extent such information is in the possession or control of the Administrative
Trustees or the Depositor and is not identical to a previously supplied list
or has not otherwise been received by the Property Trustee in its capacity as
Securities Registrar. The rights of Securityholders to communicate with
other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement
or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights of the Trustee
shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. Each Holder, by receiving
and holding a Trust Securities Certificate, and each owner shall be deemed to
have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the
Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name
and address, regardless of the source from which such information was
derived.
SECTION 508. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.
The Administrative Trustees shall maintain in a location or locations
designated by the Administrative Trustees, an office or offices or agency or
agencies where Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served.
The Administrative Trustees initially designate the Corporate Trust Office of
the Property Trustee, Two International Place, 4th Floor, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110, as the principal corporate trust office for such
purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to
the Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location of the
Securities Register or any such office or agency.
SECTION 509. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.
The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee, and any
co-paying agent chosen by the Property Trustee, and acceptable to the
Administrative Trustees and the Depositor. The Paying Agent shall make
Distributions to Securityholders from the Payment Account and shall report
the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the
Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to
withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of making the
Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may revoke such
power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in their sole
discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations
under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. Any Person acting as
Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days'
written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the
Depositor. In the event that the Property Trustee shall no longer be the
Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act
be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor that is
acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Depositor to act as Paying Agent
(which shall be a bank or trust company). The Administrative Trustees shall
cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by
the Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees an
instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for
payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the
Securityholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Securityholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the
Property Trustee and, upon removal of a Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall
also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The
provisions of Sections 801, 803 and 806 shall apply to the Property Trustee
also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee shall
act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent
appointed hereunder. Any reference in this
21
<PAGE> 27
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless
the context requires otherwise.
SECTION 510. OWNERSHIP OF COMMON SECURITIES BY DEPOSITOR.
On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial
and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities (other than
a transfer in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Depositor into
another corporation pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Indenture) shall be void.
The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate
issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE".
SECTION 511. PREFERRED SECURITIES CERTIFICATES.
(a) Each owner shall receive a Preferred Securities Certificate
representing such owner's interest in such Preferred Securities. Upon the
issuance of Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize
the record holders of the Preferred Securities Certificates as
Securityholders. The Preferred Securities Certificates shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is

SECTION 512. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
SECTION 513. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
SECTION 514. RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.
(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in
the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section
209, and the Securityholders shall not have any right or title therein other
than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred
by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any
partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as
described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only
the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The
Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights. When issued and
delivered to Holders of the Preferred Securities against payment of the
purchase price therefor, the Preferred Securities shall be fully paid and
nonassessable interests in the Trust. The Holders of the Preferred
Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.
(b) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if,
upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders
of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail
to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and
payable, the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to
the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee; and upon any such declaration such
principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Debentures shall
become
22
<PAGE> 28
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal
and interest on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent
provided in the Indenture.
(c) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, if,
upon a Debenture Event of Default arising from the failure to pay interest or
principal on the Debentures, the Holders of any Preferred Securities then
Outstanding shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to
directly institute proceedings for enforcement of payment to such Holders of
principal of or interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holders.

ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING
SECTION 601. LIMITATIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS.
(a) Except as provided in this Section 601, in Sections 514, 810 and
1002 and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of
Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise
control the administration, operation and management of the Trust or the
obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or
contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so
as to constitute the Securityholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association.
(b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the
Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing
any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to such
Debentures; (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under Article VII
of the Indenture; (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration
that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable; or (iv)
consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case,
obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a majority in
Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Preferred Securities; provided,
however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent
of each Holder of outstanding Debentures affected thereby, no such consent
shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of
each holder of Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any
action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the
Outstanding Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders
of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify
each Holder of the Outstanding Preferred Securities of any notice of default
received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures. In
addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall,
at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in
such matters to the effect that the Trust shall continue to be classified as
a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation for United
States federal income tax purposes on account of such action.
(c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or
the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely
affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of
the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement
or otherwise; or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the
Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the
Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class shall be entitled to
vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not
be effective except with the
23
<PAGE> 29
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Outstanding Preferred Securities. No amendment to this Trust Agreement may be
made if, as a result of such amendment, the Trust would cease to be classified
as a grantor trust or would be classified as an association taxable as a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 602. NOTICE OF MEETINGS.
Notice of all meetings of the Preferred Securityholders, stating the
time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 1008 to each Preferred Securityholder of record,
at his registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before
the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting
may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any
adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.
SECTION 603. MEETINGS OF PREFERRED SECURITYHOLDERS.
(a) No annual meeting of Securityholders is required to be held. The
Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of Securityholders to
vote on any matter in respect of which Preferred Securityholders are entitled
to vote upon the written request of the Preferred Securityholders of 25% of
the Outstanding Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation
Amount) and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any
time in their discretion, call a meeting of Preferred Securityholders to vote
on any matters as to which the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to
vote.
(b) Preferred Securityholders of record of 50% of the Outstanding
Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount), present
in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of
Securityholders.
(c) If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the
Preferred Securityholders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding
more than a majority of the Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount) held by the Preferred Securityholders of record present,
either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of
the Securityholders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of
affirmative votes.
SECTION 604. VOTING RIGHTS.
Securityholders shall be entitled to one vote for each $25 of
Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust Securities in respect of any
matter as to which such Securityholders are entitled to vote.
SECTION 605. PROXIES, ETC.
At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholder entitled to vote
thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any
meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrative
Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the
Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at
which such vote shall be taken. When Trust Securities are held jointly by
several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by
proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall
be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or
their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall
not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to
be executed by or on behalf of a Securityholder shall be deemed valid unless
challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity
shall
24
<PAGE> 30
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years
after its date of execution.
SECTION 606. SECURITYHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.
Any action which may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be
taken without a meeting if Securityholders holding more than a majority of
all Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation
Amount) entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion
thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust
Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing (based upon their aggregate
Liquidation Amount).
SECTION 607. RECORD DATE FOR VOTING AND OTHER PURPOSES.
For the purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to
notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate
in any Distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date
is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of
any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a
date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of
Securityholders or the payment of Distribution or other action, as the case
may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the
Securityholders of record for such purposes.
SECTION 608. ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be
given, made or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to an
Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as
the "Act" of the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and
(subject to Section 801) conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 608.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Trustee receiving the
same deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Preferred Securities shall be proved by the
Securities Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act of the Securityholder of any Trust Security shall bind
every future Securityholder of the same Trust Security and the Securityholder
of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted
or suffered to be done by the Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.
25
<PAGE> 31
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
(e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled
hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust
Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount
of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which
may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such
Liquidation Amount.
(f) A Securityholder may institute a legal proceeding directly against
the Depositor under the Guarantee to enforce its rights under the Guarantee
without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee
(as defined in the Guarantee), the Trust or any Person.
SECTION 609. INSPECTION OF RECORDS.
Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property
Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection and copying by
Securityholders and their authorized representatives during normal business
hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Securityholder's interest as
a Securityholder.

ARTICLE VIII
TRUSTEES
SECTION 801. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as
provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by
the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Trust Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if
they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. No Administrative Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be
liable for its act or omissions hereunder except as a result of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Property Trustee's liability shall be
determined under the Trust Indenture Act. Whether or not therein expressly
so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall
be subject to
28
<PAGE> 34
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
the provisions of this Section 801. To the extent that, at law or in equity,
the Delaware Trustee or an Administrative Trustee has duties (including
fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the
Securityholders, the Delaware Trustee or such Administrative Trustee shall not
be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such Trustee's good faith
reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this
Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities
of the Delaware Trustee or the Administrative Trustees otherwise existing at
law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Securityholders to
replace such other duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee and the
Administrative Trustees, as the case may be.
(b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in
respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and
proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be
sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property
Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms
hereof. With respect to the relationship of each Securityholder and the
Trustee, each Securityholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees
that it shall look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property
to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and
that the Trustees are not personally liable to it for any amount
distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in
respect of any Trust Security. This Section 801(b) does not limit the
liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust
Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture
Act.
(c) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to
relieve the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under
this Trust Agreement;
(iii) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the
custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the
Payment Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as
the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject
to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property
Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;
(iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest
on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the
Depositor and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained
by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 301 and except to the extent
otherwise required by law; and
(v) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for
monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor
with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the
Property Trustee be liable for the negligence, default or misconduct of the
Administrative Trustees or
29
<PAGE> 35
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
the Depositor.
SECTION 802. CERTAIN NOTICES.
(a) Within 5 Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008, notice of
such Event of Default to the Securityholders, the Administrative Trustees and
the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
For purposes of this Section 802 the term "Event of Default" means any event
that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default.
(b) The Administrative Trustees shall transmit to the
Securityholders, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008,
notice of the Depositor's election to begin or further extend an Extended
Interest Payment Period on the Debentures (unless such election shall have
been revoked) within the time specified for transmitting such notice to the
holders of the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture as originally executed.
SECTION 803. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE.
Subject to the provisions of Section 801:
(a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel,
certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the
Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action;
or (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the
Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with other
provisions contained herein; or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the
application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any
matter as to which the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote under
the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a
notice to the Depositor requesting written instructions of the Depositor as
to the course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be
instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor;
provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such
instructions of the Depositor within 10 Business Days after it has delivered
such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such
notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than 2 Business
Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking
such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Securityholders, in which event
the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith,
negligence or willful misconduct;
(c) any direction or act of the Depositor or the Administrative
Trustees contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate;
(d) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the
Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be established before
undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
30
<PAGE> 36
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed)
may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and conclusively rely
upon an Officer's Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be
promptly delivered by the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees;
(e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording,
filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or
continuation statement, any filing under tax or securities laws or any filing
under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or reregistration
thereof;
(f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice
(which counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates) and
the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and, in accordance with such
advice, such counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its
Affiliates, and may include any of its employees; the Property Trustee shall
have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration
of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction;
(g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request
or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement,
unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
(h) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond,
debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Securityholders, but the
Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
facts or matters as it may see fit;
(i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
its agents or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be
responsible for its own negligence or recklessness with respect to selection
of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder;
(j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the
Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect
to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder the
Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Trust
Securities which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same
proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled
to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in
respect of such remedy, right or action; (ii) may refrain from enforcing such
remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are
received; and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such
instructions; and
(k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement,
the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action
that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement. No
provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or
obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any
right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee
shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to
perform any such act or acts, or to exercise
31
<PAGE> 37
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority
available to the Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

SECURITIES.
The Recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates
shall be taken as the statements of the Trust, and the Trustees do not assume
any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of
the Debentures.
SECTION 805. MAY HOLD SECURITIES.
Any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust

other agent.
SECTION 806. COMPENSATION; INDEMNITY; FEES.
The Depositor agrees:
(a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by them hereunder (which compensation shall not be

an express trust);
(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this
Trust Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to such Trustee's negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative
Trustees or the Delaware Trustee, any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be attributable to its, his or her gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct); and
(c) to indemnify each of the Trustees or any predecessor Trustee for,
and to hold the Trustees harmless against, any loss, damage, claims,
liability, penalty or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this Trust Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance
of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to such Trustee's negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative
Trustees or the Delaware Trustee, any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be attributable to its, his or her gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct).
No Trustee may claim any Lien or charge on Trust Property as a result
of any amount due pursuant to this Section 806.
SECTION 807. CORPORATE PROPERTY TRUSTEE REQUIRED;

EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such
Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 807, the combined capital and surplus of such Person
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Property
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 807, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article VIII.
(b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee
shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal

the Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee shall either be (i) a natural
person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of

If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest
within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall
either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner
provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and
this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 809. CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of
the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Property may at the time be located, the Depositor shall have power to
appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor
shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution,
delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or
proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee
either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any
part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as
separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may
be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or
Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed
necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section 809.
If the Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Debenture Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power
to make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed
pursuant to this Section 809 shall either be (i) a natural person who is at
least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States; or (ii) a legal
entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall
act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.
(b) Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by
any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to
such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power,
any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged,
and delivered by the Depositor.
33
<PAGE> 39
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
(c) Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the
following terms, namely:
(i) The Trust Securities shall be executed and delivered and
all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the
custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required
to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustees specified hereunder, shall be
exercised, solely by such Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate
trustee.
(ii) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred
or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by
such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such
co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the
instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is
to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.
(iii) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in
writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may
accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed under this Section 809, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have the power to
accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee
without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the
Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor
to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed
in the manner provided in this Section 809.
(iv) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or
any other trustee hereunder.
(v) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any
act of a co-trustee or separate trustee.
(vi) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall
be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate
trustee.
SECTION 810. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF
SUCCESSOR.
(a) No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee")
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 811.
(b) Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Trust Securities by giving
written notice thereof to the Securityholders. If the instrument of
acceptance by the successor Trustee required by Section 811 shall not have
been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense
of the Depositor, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities.
34
<PAGE> 40
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
(c) Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Common
Securityholder. If a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them,
may be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant
Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An
Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Common Securityholder at any
time.
(d) If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee
for any cause, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common
Securityholder delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust, and the successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 811. If the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee
shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when
a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the
Preferred Securityholders, by Act of the Securityholders of a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to
the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and
such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 811. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Common
Securityholder, by Act of the Common Securityholder delivered to an
Administrative Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative
Trustee or Administrative Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and
the Trust, and such successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative
Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 811. If no
successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall have
been so appointed by the Common Securityholder or the Preferred
Securityholders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section
811, any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of Trust Securities on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated may petition a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee
with respect to the Trust Securities.
(e) The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and
each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 1008 and shall give notice
to the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the
Property Trustee.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who
is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Depositor,
incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence
or incapacity may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of remaining
Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them; or (b) otherwise
by the Depositor (with the successor in each case being a Person who
satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees set forth
in Section 807).
SECTION 811. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, the retiring
Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an instrument hereto wherein each
successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to
35
<PAGE> 41
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with
respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust and upon the execution and
delivery of such instrument the resignation or removal of the retiring
Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and
each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust; but, on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such
retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money
held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust
Securities and the Trust.
(b) Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust
shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, as the case may
be.
(c) No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless
at the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be
qualified and eligible under this Article VIII.
SECTION 812. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION
TO BUSINESS.
Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any
Administrative Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust
business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such Relevant
Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article VIII, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
SECTION 813. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST
DEPOSITOR OR TRUST.
If and when the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be or
become a creditor of the Depositor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon
the Debentures or the Trust Securities), the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, shall be subject to and shall take all actions
necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or Trust (or any
such other obligor).
SECTION 814. REPORTS BY PROPERTY TRUSTEE.
(a) Not later than July 15 of each year commencing with July 15,
1997, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Securityholders in
accordance with Section 1008, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as
of such May 15 with respect to:
(i) its eligibility under Section 807 or, in lieu thereof, if
to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said
Section, a written statement to such effect; and
(ii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as
Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken by
the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it has
not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Trust
Securities.
(b) In addition the Property Trustee shall transmit to
Securityholders such reports concerning
36
<PAGE> 42
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust Agreement as may be
required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner
provided pursuant thereto.
(c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
transmission to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with The Nasdaq
Stock Market's National Market, and each national securities exchange or
other organization upon which the Trust Securities are listed, and also with
the Commission and the Depositor.
SECTION 815. REPORTS TO PROPERTY TRUSTEE.
The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust
shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information
as required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the
compliance certificate required by Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act
in the form, in the manner and at the times required by Section 314 of the
Trust Indenture Act.
SECTION 816. EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.
Each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the
Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with
any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that
relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust
Indenture Act. Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer
pursuant to Section 314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in
the form of an Officers' Certificate.
SECTION 817. NUMBER OF TRUSTEES.
(a) The number of Trustees shall be five, provided that the Holder of
all of the Common Securities by written instrument may increase or decrease
the number of Administrative Trustees. The Property Trustee and the Delaware
Trustee may be the same Person.
(b) If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number
of Administrative Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 817(a), or if
the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 817(a), a vacancy
shall occur. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in
accordance with Section 810.
(c) The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not
operate to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of
Administrative Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the
appointment of an Administrative Trustee in accordance with Section 810, the
Administrative Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), shall have all the
powers granted to the Administrative Trustees and shall discharge all the
duties imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this Trust Agreement.
SECTION 818. DELEGATION OF POWER.
(a) Any Administrative Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent
with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21
his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in
Section 207(a); and
37
<PAGE> 43
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
(b) The Administrative Trustees shall have power to delegate from
time to time to such of their number or to the Depositor the doing of such
things and the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust

as set forth herein.
SECTION 819. VOTING.
Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, the consent or
approval of the Administrative Trustees shall require consent or approval by
not less than a majority of the Administrative Trustees, unless there are

Unless earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on
March 31, 2052 (the "Expiration Date") subject to distribution of the Trust
Property in accordance with Section 904.
SECTION 902. EARLY TERMINATION.
The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early
Termination Event:"
(a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the
dissolution or liquidation of, the Depositor;
(b) delivery of written direction to the Property Trustee by the
Depositor at any time (which direction is wholly optional and within the
discretion of the Depositor) to dissolve the Trust and distribute the
Debentures to Securityholders in exchange for the Preferred Securities in
accordance with Section 904;
(c) the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection
with the redemption of all of the Debentures; and

of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of
the Trust Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust; (c)

<PAGE> 44
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
SECTION 904. LIQUIDATION.
(a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b), or
(d) of Section 902 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Trustees as expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be
possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of
the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a Like Amount
of Debentures, subject to Section 904(d). Notice of liquidation shall be
given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not later than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each
Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the
Securities Register. All notices of liquidation shall:
(i) state the Liquidation Date;
(ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust
Securities shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust
Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange shall be deemed to
represent a Like Amount of Debentures; and
(iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by
which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or,
if Section 904(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the
Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall deem appropriate.
(b) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, in order to effect
the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to
Securityholders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such
distribution (which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation
Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment
of a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall
deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the
Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.
(c) Except where Section 902(c) or 904(d) applies, after the
Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding; (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures shall
be issued to holders of Trust Securities Certificates upon surrender of such
certificates to the Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange;
(iii) the Depositor shall use its reasonable efforts to have the Debentures
listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market or on such other
securities exchange or other organization as the Preferred Securities are
then listed or traded; (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates not so
surrendered for exchange shall be deemed to represent a Like Amount of
Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the Debentures from
the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution was made on such Trust
Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until
such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal
shall be made to holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to
such Debentures); and (v) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust
Securities shall cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive
Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.
(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 904, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court
of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the
manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be
dissolved, wound-up or terminated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as
the Property Trustee determines. In such event, on the date of the
dissolution, winding-up or other termination of the Trust, Securityholders
shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for
distribution to Securityholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the
39
<PAGE> 45
EXHIBIT 4(c)(2)
Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount
per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the
date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon
any such dissolution, winding-up or termination, the Liquidation Distribution
can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available
to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the
next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust
Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts).
The holder of the Common Securities shall be entitled to receive Liquidation
Distributions upon any such dissolution, winding-up or termination pro rata
(determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that,
if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred
Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities.
SECTION 905. MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, AMALGAMATIONS OR
REPLACEMENTS OF TRUST.
The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person, except
pursuant to this Section 905. At the request of the Depositor, with the
consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the holders
of the Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
the Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided,
that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the
obligations of the Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities; or (b)
substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having
substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the "Successor
Securities") so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the
Preferred Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and
payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise; (ii) the Depositor
expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity possessing
substantially the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the
holder of the Debentures; (iii) the Successor Securities are listed or
traded, or any Successor Securities shall be listed or traded upon
notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other
organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any; (iv)
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer
or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of
the holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities)
in any material respect; (v) prior to such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does
not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of
the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
respect; and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such
successor entity shall be required to register as an "investment company"
under the Investment Company Act; and (vi) the Depositor owns all of the
Common Securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of
such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent
provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall
not, except with the consent of holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be
replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other Person
to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would cause the Trust or
the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

Outstanding; and (ii) upon receipt by the Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the
Trustees in accordance with such amendment shall not affect the Trust's
status as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or
the Trust's exemption from status of an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act.

Trust Agreement, without the consent of each affected Securityholder (such

amended.

require the Preferred Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or

duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Preferred

repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under

satisfactory to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee, against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.

residence.
(a) If such termination does not follow a Change of Control of
Employer or Bank, Executive shall continue to receive his Base
Salary as then in effect for a period of twelve (12) months after
the effective date of such termination, in the same manner as such
Base Salary would have become payable pursuant to this Agreement
absent such termination.

the base period' (as defined in Section 28OG(d)(1) of the Internal

agreement providing a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all the assets of Employer.

provided, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon

8. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
---------
instrument signed by the parties hereto after approval by either the Board or
Executive Committee of Employer.
9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
-------------
in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana.

-----------------

or enforce any right or benefit provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
pursuing his claim shall be paid by Employer, to the fullest extent permitted

12. Restrictive Covenants. In order to induce Employer to enter into
---------------------
this Agreement, Executive hereby agrees as follows:
(a) While Executive is employed by Employer and for a period of twelve
(12) months after the effective date of termination of such
employment for reasons other than those set forth in section 5(b)
of this Agreement, Executive shall not divulge or furnish any
trade secrets (as defined in IND. CODE Sec. 24-2-3-2) of Employer
or any confidential information acquired by him while employed by
Employer concerning the policies, plans, procedures or customers
of Employer to any person, firm or corporation,
<PAGE> 6
EXHIBIT 10(a)
other than Employer or with its prior written consent, or use any
such trade secret or confidential information directly or indirectly
for Executive's own benefit or for the benefit of any person, firm
or corporation other than Employer, as such trade secrets and
confidential information are confidential and shall at all times
remain the property of Employer.
(b) For a period of twelve (12) months after the effective date of
termination of Executive's employment hereunder for reasons other
than those set forth in section 5(b) of this Agreement, Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, provide banking or bank-related
services to, or solicit the banking or bank-related business of,
any customer of Employer at the time of such provision of services
or solicitation which Employee served either alone or with others
while employed by Employer within St. Joseph, Elkhart, Marshall or
LaPorte Counties in the State of Indiana, or assist any actual or
potential competitor of Employer to provide banking or
bank-related services to, or solicit the banking or bank-related
business of, any such customer in any such area, and Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, or
trustee, or through the agency of any corporation, partnership,
trade association, agent or agency, engage in any banking or
bank-related business or venture which competes with the business
of Employer as conducted during Executive's employment by Employer
within such area; provided, however, that Executive may own not
-------- -------
more than five percent of the voting securities of any entity
providing banking or bank-related services within such area if the
voting securities of such entity are traded on a national
securities exchange or quoted on a national interdealer quotation
system.
(c) Executive acknowledges that any violation of this section 12 would
cause irreparable harm to Employer, that damages for such harm
would be incapable of precise measurement and that, accordingly,
Employer would not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the
harm caused by such violation. Therefore, Executive agrees that,
in addition to any other remedy, Employer shall be entitled to
immediate (i.e., without prior notice) preliminary and final
injunctive relief to enjoin and restrain any violation of this
section 12.
If Executive's employment is terminated during the Term of this
Agreement for reasons set forth in section 5(b) of this Agreement, Executive
shall have no obligations to Employer with respect to trade secrets,
confidential information or noncompetition under this section 12.
13. Tax Matters. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
-----------
notwithstanding, in the event that Employer's independent public accountants
determine that any payment by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive,
whether paid or payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, would
constitute an "excess parachute payment' within the meaning of Section 28OG
of the Code, then such amount payable or any other amount payable to or for
the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to an amount
<PAGE> 7
EXHIBIT 10(a)
which maximizes the amount payable to or for the benefit of Executive without
causing the payment to be non-deductible by Employer because of Section 28OG of
the Code.
14. No Duty to Mitigate. Executive is not required to mitigate the
-------------------
amount of salary or benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement upon
termination of his employment by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall any amount provided to be paid by Employer pursuant to this Agreement
upon termination of Executive's employment be reduced by any compensation
earned by Employee as a result of employment by another employer that is not
in violation of Executive's obligations under section 12.
15. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
------------
provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force
and effect.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first written above.

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Amendment') is made as of the
1st day of March , 1997, between 1st SOURCE CORPORATION ("Employer')
- --- -----------
and CHRISTOPHER J. MURPHY, III ("Executive').
RECITALS
--------
1. Employer and Executive have entered into an Employment Agreement
dated as of January 1, 1992 ("Agreement').
2. Employer and Executive desire to amend the Agreement as provided
below.
AGREEMENT
---------
In consideration of the premises and the following undertakings,
Employer and Executive agree as follows:
1. Effective February 1, 1997, Section 13 is amended to read as
follows:
13. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY EMPLOYER.
---------------------------------------
(a) In the event that Section 28OG of the Code is determined to
apply to the payments to be made by Employer to Executive
under this Agreement or other compensation or benefit
programs, and in the event of any excise tax ("Excise
Tax") that may be imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
become payable by Executive because of any of the payments
made to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise, the
Employer will pay to Executive an additional amount
("Gross-up Payment') at least 60 days prior to the due date
for payment of the Excise Tax. The Gross-up Payment shall
be in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of
all taxes (including, without limitation, all income and
employment tax and Excise Tax and treating as a tax the
disallowance of any deduction of Executive by virtue of
the inclusion of the Gross-up Payment in Executive's
adjusted gross income) and interest and penalties with
respect to such taxes imposed upon the Gross-up Payment,
Executive retains an amount equal to the Excise Tax.
Employer shall notify Executive of its determination of
the amount of payments under this Agreement subject to the
Excise Tax (which determination shall be made by an
accounting firm selected by Employer) and shall provide
Executive with a receipt for the Excise Tax paid.
Executive shall report the amount indicated in Employer's
notice as the amount subject to the Excise Tax on
Executive's Federal income tax return.
(b) If, for any reason, the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority proposes an adjustment to the amount
of Excise Tax due with respect to any payments or with
respect to any additional amounts received by Executive
pursuant to this Agreement, Executive will notify Employer
immediately of such proposed adjustment and shall give
Employer the right to contest such
<PAGE> 10
EXHIBIT 10(a)
proposed adjustment on Executive's behalf; provided, however,
that Executive may pay such claim if Employer does not take
any action prior to the time such payment is due. Employer
shall bear and pay directly all costs related to or
associated with any contest, regardless of outcome, and shall
have complete control over such contest as it relates to the
Excise Tax, including whether such contest shall be by way
of non-payment of the Excise Tax, payment of the Excise Tax
under protest, or payment of the Excise Tax accompanied by
a claim for a refund. Employer shall pay to Executive (i)
an amount equal to the Excise Tax required to be paid to
the Internal Revenue Service by Executive as a result of
the outcome of any contest, any penalties or interest
thereon, and (ii) a Gross-up Payment computed in the same
manner and subject to the same adjustments as other
Gross-up Payments previously described. Payment by
Employer of an amount equal to the Excise Tax and Gross-up
Payment shall be made to Executive in advance of the due
date for payment of Excise Taxes.
(c) In the event that the amount of any additional payments
made pursuant to this Section 13 exceeds the amount
determined to have been due, the excess additional amounts
made shall constitute a loan by Employer to Executive
payable within 30 days after receipt by Executive of the
refund from the Internal Revenue Service together with any
interest received.
2. Effective February 1, 1997, a new section 17 is added to
read as follows:
17. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.
----------------------
Employer agrees to pay promptly as incurred, to the full extent
permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which Executive may reasonably
incur as a result of any contest, regardless of outcome, by Employer,
Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under,
any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance (including as
a result of any contest by Executive concerning the amount of any payment
pursuant to this Agreement).
All terms and conditions of the Agreement, except those expressly
amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect.

Exhibit 10(d)
1ST SOURCE CORPORATION Effective as of 4/17/97
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
1. PURPOSE. This Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") of 1st Source
Corporation (the "Corporation") is designed to encourage employee purchases
of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock by offering to eligible employees
the right to purchase such shares. The Plan is intended to apply to the
Corporation and to such subsidiaries of the Corporation as the Plan
Administrative Committee may from time to time designate (including
subsidiaries which become such subsequent to the effective date of the Plan);
provided, however, that the Plan shall only apply to such subsidiaries of the
Corporation as are defined in Section 425(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
The Corporation intends that the Plan shall qualify as an "Employee
Stock Purchase Plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with the
requirements of said Section 423.
2. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by a committee
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee"). The
Committee shall consist of not less than three (3) members of the
Corporation's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may from time to
time remove members from, or add members to, the Committee. Vacancies on the
Committee, howsoever caused, shall be filled by the Board of Directors. No
member of the Committee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and such instructions and
limitations as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may establish from
time to time, the Committee shall be authorized to develop guidelines
regarding the Plan; to publish, amend, and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan; to administer and interpret the Plan as may be required
from time to time; and to take all other actions and make all other
determinations necessary for the administration of the Plan. Decisions of the
Committee shall be made by a majority of its members and shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all participants in the Plan. Any decision
reduced to writing and signed by a majority of the members of the Committee
shall be fully effective as if it had been made at a meeting of the Committee
duly held. The Corporation will pay all expenses incurred in the
administration of the Plan.
Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
the Committee shall have the right to suspend, discontinue or cancel the
Plan, on either a temporary or permanent basis, as the Committee may from
time to time deem appropriate and for such reasons as the Committee in its
sole judgment may deem appropriate; provided, however, the Committee may not
suspend, discontinue or cancel the Plan during an offering period with
respect to purchase rights then outstanding. No provision of the Plan shall
be deemed to grant to any employee or his legal representatives or assigns
any right to participate in the Plan except as expressly set forth herein or
as provided in such interpretations or decisions as the Committee may from
time to time issue in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
<PAGE> 2
Exhibit 10(d)
No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be liable
for any action or determination with respect to the Plan or any option
granted under it which does not involve recklessness or willful misconduct.
3. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN AND ADJUSTMENT. Shares offered hereunder
(hereinafter referred to as "Common Stock") may be authorized but unissued
Common Stock of the Corporation or previously issued Common Stock acquired by
the Corporation and held in its treasury. Not more than two hundred thousand
(200,000) shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation (as said amount may
be adjusted in accordance with Paragraph 9 hereof) shall be sold in the
aggregate hereunder. Shares not actually purchased under an offering may be
offered again in a subsequent offering.
4. OFFERINGS. Purchase rights shall be granted under the Plan in one or
more offerings, as the Committee may determine, but the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock which shall be subject to purchase rights hereunder
during any offering period shall be sixty-five thousand (65,000) shares (as
said amount may be adjusted in accordance with Paragraph 9 hereof).
The terms of each offering shall specify the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be subject to purchase rights thereunder, and, subject to
Paragraph 6, each offering shall bear a uniform relationship to the basic
rate of pay of the eligible employees on the effective date of the offering.
("Basic rate of pay" shall mean either the salary of an employee or such
employee's hourly, weekly, or other periodic rate of pay on an annualized
basis including vacation, holiday and sick pay, but excluding overtime, shift
differentials, commissions, bonuses, deferred compensation, and fringe
benefits.)
Purchase rights shall be granted solely to eligible employees, and
shall expire at the close of the offering period (as hereinafter defined).
No offering of Common Stock under the Plan may be made prior to June 1,
1997. The effective date of an offering shall be the date determined by the
Committee and specified in the communication of the offering by the
Corporation.
Purchase rights shall be granted to all eligible employees of the
Corporation or of a subsidiary of the Corporation whose employees are granted
any of such rights in an offering, and (subject to this Paragraph and
Paragraph 6 hereof) all employees granted rights shall have the same rights
and privileges under the offering; provided, however, that under rules
prescribed by the Committee, no employee will be granted a purchase right:
(a) if immediately after the right is granted, the employee owns (as
defined in Sections 423 and 425(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended) stock, and/or holds outstanding purchase rights
to purchase stock, possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of
the Corporation or of any subsidiary of the Corporation; or,
<PAGE> 3
Exhibit 10(d)
(b) the grant of any purchase right permits the employee's rights to
purchase stock under this Plan and under all other employee stock
purchase plans, if any, of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, to
accrue at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000.00) of fair market value of such stock (determined at the
time such purchase right is granted) for each calendar year in
which such purchase right is outstanding at any time; or
(c) if at any time the grant of such purchase right is prohibited by
applicable law or will cause the Plan not to qualify under Section
423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
5. ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES. An eligible employee is an employee who, on
the effective date of an offering, has been an employee of the Corporation or
one of the Corporation's subsidiaries (designated by the Committee on the
effective date of such offering as a participating subsidiary) for at least
two years preceding the effective date of such offering; whose customary
employment is twenty (20) hours or more per week; and whose customary
employment is for five (5) months or more in any calendar year.
6. PROVISIONS OF OFFERINGS. The provisions and related conditions
of each offering hereunder shall be determined by the Committee, subject to
the provisions of the Plan and the following requirements:
(a) The Committee shall fix the purchase price of the shares to be
offered so that such price per share shall equal one hundred
percent (100%) of the fair market value of a share of the
Corporation's Common Stock on the effective date of the offering.
The purchase price so fixed shall be the purchase price per share
to be paid by a participant for all shares purchased by the
participant during the offering period. The "fair market value" of
the Corporation's Common Stock shall be determined by the
Committee under any reasonable valuation method permitted under
the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(b) The "offering period" shall be that period of time fixed by the
Committee, but not to exceed twenty-seven (27) months following
the effective date of the offering.
(c) The "entry period" shall be that period of time commencing not
earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of the
offering during which appropriate participation and payroll
deduction forms shall be distributed to eligible employees along
with such other documents as may be required, and during which
such eligible employees shall have the right to elect to
participate in the Plan by completing, signing, and returning such
forms to the Committee not later than the close of business on the
last business day prior to the effective date of the offering.
Participation and payroll deduction forms not received by the
Committee prior to the close of business day prior to the
effective date of the offering shall not be accepted for
participation in the offering made by the Corporation.
(d) The "payroll deduction period" shall be that period within which
electing participants shall make, through payroll deductions, the
required payments for the
<PAGE> 4
Exhibit 10(d)
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock which said participants
have elected to purchase. The payroll deduction period shall
commence on or after the effective date of an offering, shall
terminate not later than the expiration of the offering period,
and shall be fixed for each offering by the Committee.
(e) Each participant shall indicate on the Plan participation and/or
payroll deduction forms the amount which said participant desires
to be withheld from his compensation during the offering period
and applied to the purchase of shares of the Corporation's Common
Stock; provided, however, the total amount to be withheld and
applied during an offering period for any individual participant
may not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of such participant's
annual basic rate of pay determined as of the effective date of
the offering by the Committee.
(f) A participant shall be granted the right to purchase a fixed
number of whole shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, which
fixed number shall be determined by the Committee as of the
effective date of the offering by dividing the total amount
expected to be credited to such participant's payroll deduction
account (as defined in subparagraph 6(g) hereof) (including
payroll deductions and accrued interest thereon), based upon his
actual rate of participation as indicated on his participation and
payroll deduction forms, by the purchase price per share as
determined by the Committee under subparagraph 6(a) hereof.
(g) The participant, in his participation and/or payroll deduction
forms, shall authorize the Corporation or the participating
subsidiary, as the case may be, to withhold from his compensation,
throughout the offering period, the amount which said participant
indicated he desired to be withheld and applied to the purchase of
shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation (in accordance with
subparagraph 6(e) hereof). The participant, in his participation
and/or payroll deduction forms, shall direct the Corporation or
the participating subsidiary, as the case may be, to deposit such
withheld amounts in a savings account (herein referred to as a
"payroll deduction account") to be opened for the employee with
1st Source Bank, South Bend, Indiana, or any successor bank to
that institution (hereinafter called the "Bank") pursuant to
directions set forth in said participation and/or payroll
deduction forms. The employee shall further agree in the
participation and/or payroll forms that he shall only withdraw and
be paid the funds so accumulated in said payroll deduction forms.
If required by local law or regulation, payroll deduction accounts
may be opened at foreign branches of the Bank, or at other banks
approved by the Corporation; such payroll deduction accounts shall
be maintained and bear interest in accordance with local practice.
7. TERMINATION AND EXERCISE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS. A participant may elect by
written notice furnished to the Committee at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of an offering period:

accrued interest in said participant's payroll deduction account
as soon as practicable following such notice or as soon as
practicable following expiration of the offering period, as he
<PAGE> 5
Exhibit 10(d)
may elect. Upon receipt of a notice of cancellation by the
Committee, the participant's purchase rights shall immediately
lapse, and no further payroll deduction shall be made from his pay
during the offering period. Partial withdrawals of payroll
deductions may not be made.
(b) To discontinue further payroll deductions and have the balance in
his payroll deduction account applied as of the expiration of the
offering period to the purchase of the maximum number of whole

applicable limitations under subparagraph 6(f) hereof, in which
event his purchase rights shall be permitted to lapse to the
extent consistent with his election.
(c) To elect to purchase on the last business day of the month
following the date of his written notice under this Paragraph 7,
all or fewer than all of the shares of which said participant is
entitled to purchase under the offering as provided in
subparagraph 6(f) hereof. Payment for said shares of Common Stock
so purchased shall be made by the application of the balance of
said participant's payroll deduction, account plus the payment of
cash or certified check, if necessary. Said payment shall be
delivered to the Committee or a representative thereof on the last
business day of the month following said participant's written
notice. As soon as practicable following the participant's
purchase of shares in accordance with this subparagraph 7(c), the
balance in said participant's payroll deduction account, if any,
shall be paid to said participant.
Unless a participant gives timely, written notice as provided under
this Paragraph 7 or unless the employment of said participant is terminated
prior to the expiration of an offering period, said participant's purchase
rights shall be exercised as of the expiration of the offering period for the
purchase of that number of whole shares of Common Stock which can be
purchased with the balance in his payroll deduction account.
As soon as practicable after a participant's purchase of shares under
this Paragraph 7, the Committee shall cause certificates for the number of
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock purchased hereunder to be issued to
said participant, or the estate, personal representative or beneficiaries of
a deceased participant, as fully paid and non-assessable shares, and shall
refund any unused balance remaining in such participant's payroll deduction
account.
8. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
(a) In the event that the employment by the Corporation or a
participating subsidiary of an employee who was a participant
under the Plan shall terminate other than by reason of said
participant's death prior to the expiration of an offering
period and prior to said participant making an election under
Paragraph 7 hereof, said participant shall have the right
within thirty (30) days from the date of said termination
(unless the expiration of the offering period shall first
occur, in which event such right may be exercised only on or
prior to the expiration of said offering period) to elect to
purchase, by written notice to the Committee, all or fewer than
all of the shares said participant is entitled to purchase
under the offering as provided in subparagraph 6(f) hereof.
Payment for said shares of Common Stock shall be made by the
application of the balance of said participant's payroll
deduction account plus
<PAGE> 6
Exhibit 10(d)

following the payment for shares under this subparagraph 8(a),
the balance in said participant's payroll deduction account, if
any, shall be paid to said participant.
(b) In the event that the employment by the Corporation or a
participating subsidiary of an employee who is a participant
under the Plan shall terminate prior to the expiration of an
offering period by reason of such employee's death, his estate,
personal representative, or beneficiary shall have the right,
at any time within ninety (90) days from the date of his death
(unless the expiration of the offering period shall first
occur, in which event such right may be exercised only on or
prior to the expiration of the offering period), to elect by
written notice delivered to the Committee to purchase all or
fewer than all of the shares of the Common Stock which said
deceased participant was entitled to purchase under the
offering as provided in subparagraph 6(f) hereof. Payment for
said shares of Common Stock shall be made by the application of
the balance of said participant's payroll deduction account
plus the payment of cash or certified check, if necessary. Said
payment shall be delivered to the Committee or a representative
thereof on the date of the written notice given under this
subparagraph 8(b). As soon as practicable following the payment
for shares under this subparagraph 8(b), the balance in said
deceased participant's payroll deduction account, if any, shall
be paid to said estate, personal representative or beneficiary.
(c) In the event that the employment by the Corporation or a
participating subsidiary of an employee who was a participant
under the Plan shall terminate for any reason, including death,
and, said participant or the estate, personal representative or
beneficiary of said participant shall not make an election by
written notice in accordance with the provisions of
subparagraphs 8(a) or 8(b) hereof, then, such participant's
purchase rights shall, with respect to such offering period,
automatically lapse, and the Committee shall cause the balance
of such participant's payroll deduction account to be paid to
him or to his estate, personal representative or beneficiary as
soon as practicable.
(d) As soon as practicable after a participant or a participant's
estate, personal representative or beneficiary's purchase of
shares under this Paragraph, the Committee shall cause
certificates for the number of shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock purchased hereunder to be issued to said
participant or said participant's estate, personal
representative or beneficiaries fully paid and non-assessable
shares.
9. ADJUSTMENTS IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event that the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall
be increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares of stock or other
securities, whether through reorganization, recapitalization,
stock split-up, combination of shares, stock dividend, merger,
consolidation or any other change in corporate structure
affecting the Common Stock of the Corporation, appropriate
adjustments shall be made by the Committee in the number and
kind of shares or other securities
<PAGE> 7
Exhibit 10(d)
available for purchase hereunder and subject to any purchase rights
then outstanding, and/or the purchase price thereof. Any
determination by the Committee of any adjustment to be made in any
contingency under this Paragraph, along with such other action as
the Committee shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, shall
be final.
10. MERGER OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of a dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation, or a merger or consolidation in
which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the
Plan shall terminate upon the date of approval of such
dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation by the
Corporation's shareholders. Unless a participant elects to
exercise his/her purchase rights as provided in Paragraph 7 at
any time prior to the date of approval by the shareholders of
any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation, upon
such termination, all purchase rights under the Plan shall
automatically lapse, and all payroll deduction accounts shall
be refunded with interest to the participants as soon as
practicable.
11. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF RIGHTS. Purchase rights granted an
employee under the Plan are exercisable, during such employee's
lifetime, only by him; they may not be sold, transferred (other
than by will or laws of descent or distribution), pledged or
otherwise disposed of or encumbered.
12. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. An employee or his estate, personal
representative or beneficiary will have none of the rights and
privileges of a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to
shares of Common Stock subject to purchase rights under the
Plan until certificates representing such shares of Common
Stock have been transferred or issued.
13. STATUS OF PLAN FUNDS. All amounts received by the Corporation
under the Plan may be used by the Corporation for any corporate
purpose.
14. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. The Corporation's obligation to
sell and deliver Common Stock under the Plan is subject to
applicable laws and to the approval of any governmental
authority required in connection with the authorization,
issuance, sale or delivery of such Common Stock. In the event
any governmental agency having any jurisdiction over the Plan,
the qualification thereof or the shares of Common Stock to be
issued thereunder fails or refuses to qualify the Plan or
objects thereto, the Corporation may cause this Plan to be
amended to conform with said governmental agencies requirements
or may terminate the same, in which event all payroll deduction
account balances shall be paid to employee participants.
15. INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE. The members of the Committee
shall be indemnified by the Corporation against all reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action,
suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereof,
to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any
action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the
Plan or any offering or purchase right, and against all amounts
paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is
approved by counsel selected by the Corporation) or paid by
them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding. A member of the
<PAGE> 8
Exhibit 10(d)
Committee shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect
to any matter or claim arising out of recklessness or willful
misconduct by such member in the performance of his duties. As
a condition of any indemnification, a Committee member shall in

expense, to handle and defend any suit or claim against him.
16. EFFECTIVE DATE, TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT. The Plan is
subject to the approval of the Corporation's shareholders
within twelve (12) months following adoption of the Plan by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation; and, if such approval is
not received by such date, this Plan shall terminate, and no
employee shall have any rights hereunder except to receive in
cash the balance of his payroll deduction account including
interest. The Plan may be amended from time to time or
terminated by the Committee and/or the Board of Directors,
provided that no such amendment or termination may adversely
affect the rights of any participant under any outstanding
purchase offering under this Plan, nor cause any purchase
rights to fail to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and provided further that no
such amendment may, without approval of the shareholders of the
Corporation, (a) increase the maximum number of shares to be
offered under the Plan (except as provided in Paragraph 9
hereof), (b) reduce the purchase price specified in
subparagraph 6(f) (except as provided in Paragraph 9 hereof),
(c) extend the term of offering periods under the Plan, or (d)
change the person or categories of persons eligible to

the Corporation under the Plan shall be reduced by any sums
required to be withheld by the Corporation.
18. TAX EFFECT. There are no federal tax consequences resulting from
the purchase of stock under this Plan. Under current law, upon
the sale of any shares purchased under the Plan within one year
of purchase, or prior to the termination of a current offering,
the difference between the market value of the stock on the day
it was purchased and the amount the employee paid for the stock
is treated as compensation. The difference between the sales
price of the stock and the market value on the day of purchase
must be reported on the employee's tax return as a capital
gain. Separate information and detailed examples will be
provided by the Corporation to Plan participants shortly after
the employee election to participate is made. ANY PARTICIPANT
MUST INFORM THE CORPORATION IF SHARES ARE SOLD AS PROVIDED
ABOVE.
19. NOTICE. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any

7(b) Amended as of 2/19/97
1ST SOURCE CORPORATION
1982 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PLAN
1. PURPOSE. This Restricted Stock Award Plan (the "Plan') is intended to
promote the interest of 1st Source Corporation, an Indiana Corporation (the
"Corporation') and its shareholders by providing an incentive to induce
continued future employment and performance of certain key exempt or
non-exempt employees of the Corporation and certain key employees of one or
more Subsidiaries of Corporation. For the purposes of this Plan, the term
"Subsidiary' shall mean a corporation or corporations of which the
Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding
voting stock.
2. ADOPTION AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall become
effective as of May 1, 1982. The Plan shall be administered by either the
Executive Committee of the Corporation or a Special Committee appointed by
the Executive Committee of the Corporation to administer the Plan (the
"Committee'). As used herein, the term "Committee' shall refer to the
Executive Committee of the Corporation if no Special Committee if no Special
Committee for the administration of the Plan then exists or is then
designated. The Committee shall interpret, implement, and administer the
Plan to the extent and the manner contemplated herein it shall exercise the
discretion granted to it as to the determination of who shall participate in
the Plan, how many shares shall be allocated to each participant, and the
time when such shares shall be allocated and issued to each participant. Any
action taken by the Committee with respect to the implementation,
interpretation or administration of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and
binding on the Corporation and each participant.
3. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. The Committee may allocate to the Restricted
Stock Award Plan not more than 1% in any one year of the outstanding $1.00
par value common stock of the Corporation annually, which common stock is
herein sometimes referred to as "shares.' The distribution of shares
pursuant to this Plan may be made either from authorized and unissued shares
or from Treasury shares as determined by the Committee. All shares issued in
accordance with the Plan shall be fully paid and non-assessable shares and
free from preemptive rights.
4. ELIGIBILITY. The Committee shall designate from time to time key
exempt and non-exempt employees of the Corporation or a Subsidiary (including
officers) engaged in activities which further the objectives of the
Corporation, who shall be eligible to receive an allocation or allocations of
shares under the Plan as recommended by the Chief Executive Officer, and the
number of shares of stock of the Corporation to be allocated to each. In
selecting those person to whom allocations of shares hereunder shall be made
at any time, and in determining the number of shares to be allocated, the
Committee shall consider with respect to those employees the position and
responsibility of such persons, the value of their future services to the
Corporation, the compensation otherwise received by persons and other factors
as the Committee deems pertinent.
<PAGE> 2
Exhibit 10(f)
5. FORM OF ALLOCATION. At the time of making any allocation by the
Committee, the Committee shall advise the employee selected to participate in
a stock award under this Plan as to such allocation by written notice in the
form of Exhibit A annexed hereto, which employee so selected hereinafter is
sometimes referred to as "Participant.'
6. ACTION REQUIRED OF PARTICIPANTS.
(a) Within 30 days from the date of such written notice of
allocation, the Participant shall notify the Committee, in writing, of
acceptance of allocation, and the terms thereof, which notice shall be deemed
delivered for all purposes by this Plan when personally delivered to the
Chairman of the Committee or Chief Executive Officer or mailed to such
Committee in care of Chief Executive Officer addressed to the Corporation by
postpaid certified United States mail.
(b) The Corporation may require that, in allocating shares,
the Participant agree with, and represent to, the Corporation that
Participant is acquiring such shares for the purpose of investment and with
no present intention to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares
except such distribution by a legal representative as shall be required by
will or the laws of any jurisdiction in winding up the estate of any
Participant. Such shares shall be transferable thereafter only if the
proposed transfer shall be permissible pursuant to this Plan and if, in the
opinion of counsel (who shall be satisfactory to Corporation), such transfer
shall at such time be in compliance with applicable securities laws.
(c) Concurrently with a Participant notifying the Corporation
of the acceptance of an allocation, Participant shall deliver to the
Corporation, in duplicate, an agreement in writing, signed by Participant in
form and substance as set forth in Exhibit B hereon annexed, and the
Corporation shall forthwith acknowledge its receipts thereof. The date of
such delivery and receipt shall be deemed the "date of issuance' of the
shares to which the same relate, as that phrase is used in this Plan. The
failure to make such acceptance and delivery of such agreement within 30 days
from the date of allocation shall terminate the allocation of such shares to
the Participant.
7. RESTRICTIONS. By accepting the allocation of shares under this
Plan, a Participant agrees and consents to the following additional
restrictions:
(a) A certificate or certificates for the shares allocated to a
Participant shall be delivered by the Corporation to a Participant on the
date at which restrictions set forth in paragraph 7(c) below, shall have
lapsed. Until such time as the restrictions lapse, Corporation shall issue
and retain in safekeeping such allocation. Upon issue Participant shall be a
shareholder with respect to all of the shares represented by such certificate
or certificates and shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to
all such shares, including the right to vote such shares and receive all
dividends and other distributions, subject to termination upon the occurrence
of an Act of Forfeiture as set forth in this Plan. The certificates for such
shares may be either imprinted or stamped with a legend to the effect that
the shares represented thereby may voluntarily or involuntarily disposed of
except in accordance with this Plan (any such disposition being automatically
an Act of Forfeiture) by the holder thereof until such time as the
restrictions provided for herein lapse.
(b) If new or additional or different shares or securities are
distributed with respect to shares of common stock of the Corporation as the
result of a stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other
change involving 1st Source securities, or exchange for other securities, or
<PAGE> 3
Exhibit 10(f)
reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization or
otherwise ("Exchange Event'), the Participant shall, as the owner of shares
subject to restrictions hereunder, be entitled to such new or additional or
different shares of stock or securities.
(1) In the case of an Exchange Event, the certificate or certificates
for, or other evidences of, such new and additional or different shares or
securities shall be appropriately imprinted with the legend provided in
paragraph 7(a) of this Plan, and all provisions of this Plan relating to
restrictions and lapse of restrictions herein set forth shall thereupon be
applicable to such new or additional or different shares or securities to the
extent applicable to the shares with respect to which they were distributed;
provided, further, that if the Participant shall receive rights, warrants or
fractional interests in respect of any such shares, such rights or warrants
and such fractional interests shall be received, by the Participant subject to
all of the remaining restrictions herein set forth. All such additional
shares, rights or other securities shall be retained in safekeeping by the
Corporation for the account of the Participant.
(2) In the case of a qualifying termination of employment of the
Participant, as defined below, (i) all awarded shares subject to forfeiture
under this Plan shall no longer be subject to forfeiture and shall be earned
stock for all purposes of the Plan, and (ii) all restrictions on shares of
stock theretofore awarded hereunder shall terminate (except for any
restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws). The foregoing sentence
shall be effective immediately prior to such shareholder with respect to all
of the shares represented by such certificate or certificates and shall have
all rights of a shareholder with respect to all such shares, including the
right to vote such shares and receive all dividends and other distributions,
subject to termination upon the occurrence of an Act of Forfeiture as set
forth in this Plan. The certificates for such shares may be either imprinted
or stamped with a legend to the effect that the shares represented thereby
may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, assigned,
conveyed, or otherwise voluntarily or involuntarily disposed of except in
accordance with this Plan (any such disposition being automatically an Act of
Forfeiture) by the holder thereof until such time as the restrictions
provided for herein lapse.
(c) The term "Restricted Period' with respect to any allocation of
shares issued to a Participant under this Plan shall mean a period commencing
on the date of issuance of such shares to the Participant and ending over a
ten (10) year period thereafter. The restricted period shall terminate at
the rate of ten percent (10%) of the allocation of shares for each year in
which:
(1) the Participant has served continuously as an employee, and was
employed or retired at year end, or in which such employee dies while
employed or retired.
(2) the company return on equity meets or exceeds the rate of return
on common equity established in advance by the Committee.
Any year in which the cumulative rate of return on equity meets or
exceeds the rate established for the accumulated years subsequent to the year
of the award, will remove the restrictions for that year and any prior year
for which the yearly rate failed to meet the established rate.
<PAGE> 4
Exhibit 10(f)
The Committee may designate the particular shares with respect to which
such restrictions end at the expiration of each such yearly period either by
authorizing the issuance of separate certificates or by other instruments or
documentation as deemed feasible by the Committee, and such certificates
shall be delivered to Participant forthwith.
(d) For all purposes of this Plan, an Act of Forfeiture with respect
to the remaining restricted stock of any award shall be deemed to be any one
of the following:
(1) Voluntary or involuntary termination including death, retirement
or total disability of the employment of a Participant during the Restricted
Period, or
(2) The attempted sale, exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecation,
assignment, conveyance or other voluntary or involuntary disposition of any
of the restricted shares during their Restricted Period, all of which is
hereby expressly prohibited by this agreement, or
(3) The election by the Participant to be taxed in the year of
receipt of the restricted stock under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954 as amended, or
(4) Termination of the ten-year restriction period if the annual or
cumulative rate of return on common equity has not been achieved.
(e) Upon the occurrence of an Act of Forfeiture relating to a
Participant, the right, title and interest of all remaining restricted shares
of Corporation allocated to the Participant shall be automatically forfeited
and terminated for all purposes and Participant agrees on behalf of himself,
his personal representatives, heirs, legatees, or successors to:
(1) Execute and deliver to Corporation such forms of stock power,
assignments or instruments of transfer which Corporation may reasonably
request and, upon the failure of Participant or his personal representatives,
heirs, legatees or successors so to do, the Secretary of Corporation is
hereby appointed as the attorney-in-fact of Participant and his personal
representatives, heirs, legatees or successors to execute and deliver any and
all forms of stock power, assignments and instruments of transfer requested
by the Committee to vest and transfer to Corporation complete title to all
such forfeited shares, and further each Participant consents and agrees that
the St. Joseph Circuit Court of St. Joseph County, Indiana, shall have
personal jurisdiction over such Participant to permit Corporation to obtain
an order to specific performance which is authorized and for which consent is
hereby given by each Participant who accepts an allocation of shares under
this Plan.
(f) The right, title and interest of any transferee of any restricted
shares acquired from a Participant under this Plan by Will or by the laws of
descent and distribution shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of
this Plan, including but without limitation, the restrictions on transfer and
the provisions relating to forfeiture.
(g) Any transfer or purported transfer made by a Participant at any
time while restricted or prohibited by this Plan, except at the times and in
the manner expressly authorized, shall be null and void and the Corporation
shall not be obligated to recognize or give effect to such transfer on its
books or records or recognize the person or persons to whom such purported
transfer has been made as the legal beneficial holder of such shares.
<PAGE> 5
Exhibit 10(f)
(h) The Committee may impose such other restrictions on any shares
allocated to a Participant pursuant to this Plan as it may deem advisable,
including without limitation, restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, under the requirements of any stock exchange upon which such
shares or shares of the same class are then listed, and under any bluesky or
securities laws applicable to such shares.
8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) Expense. All expenses and costs in connection with the
--------
administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation.

1. OPTION GRANT. The Corporation hereby grants to the
optionee options (the "Options"), which options are not intended to qualify
under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to
purchase 50,000 shares (the "Option Shares") of the common stock of the
Corporation at the price of $29.75 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The

during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing from the date on which
such Options vest (as defined in Section 3) and ending at 5:00 p.m., South
Bend, Indiana time, on the date ten (10) years after the date on which such

Shares which vest on January 1, 1992, shall begin on January 1, 1992, and
expire on December 31, 2002. During the Exercise Period, all vested Options
as defined in Section 3 below shall be immediately exercisable in whole at
any time or in part from time to time.

Options granted hereunder will vest on January 1, 1992, with the remaining
Options to vest at the rate of twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate options
per year on each succeeding January 1 (i. e., 20% on January 1, 1993, 20% on
- -
January 1, 1994, etc.).

dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, or any
change in the corporate structure of the Corporation or in the shares of
common stock, the number and class of shares covered by the Options and the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted by the Corporation, whose
determination shall be conclusive.

this Paragraph 9 shall be deemed a "change in control": (i) any third person,

the Corporation or (iii) the shareholders of the Corporation shall approve an
agreement providing a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
the assets of the Corporation. In the event of a "change in control," all

The purpose of the Plan is to aid 1st Source Corporation (herein called the
"Company") and its subsidiaries in securing and retaining key employees of
outstanding ability and to motivate such employees to exert their best
efforts on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition, the
Company expects that it will benefit from the added interest which the
respective optionees will have in the welfare of the Company as a result of
their ownership or increased ownership of the Company's Common Stock. The
options which may be granted under the Plan are incentive stock options and
nonstatutory stock options. For purposes of the plan, an "incentive stock
option" is an option which meets the requirements of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code, and a nonstatutory stock option" is an option which is
not an "incentive stock option."
2. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
The total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be
optioned under the Plan is 500,000, as adjusted after the effective date
pursuant to Section 6. The total number of shares that may be granted under
the Plan to any employee during any calendar year shall not exceed 100,000
shares, as adjusted. Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued
shares or treasury shares. If any shares that have been optioned cease to be
subject to option, they may again be optioned under the Plan. During the
period that any options granted under the Plan are outstanding, the Company
shall reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as
will be sufficient to satisfy all outstanding unexercised options.
3. ADMINISTRATION.
The Plan shall be administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, herein called the "Committee," each of whom shall be a
"non-employee director" as provided under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and an "outside director" as provided under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
Committee shall have the authority, consistent with the Plan:
(i) To select the eligible employees to whom options shall be granted
under the Plan;
(ii) To determine the terms and conditions of each option including but
not limited to the date of grant, the dates(s) of exercise, the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the option, and the
restrictions, if any, to be imposed upon the transfer of shares
purchased pursuant to the option;
(iii) To prescribe the form of all stock option agreements and any other
agreement or document which the Committee determines is
appropriate in connection with the Plan;
(iv) To prescribe rules and regulations for the administration of the
Plan;
<PAGE> 3
Exhibit 10(i)
(v) To construe and interpret any provision of the Plan and any option
agreement or other agreement executed in connection with the Plan;
and
(vi) To determine whether the option is an incentive stock option or a
nonstatutory stock option.
4. ELIGIBILITY.
Key employees, including officers or directors of the Company and its
subsidiaries who are from time to time responsible for the management, growth
and protection of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, are
eligible to be granted options under the Plan. The optionees under the Plan
shall be selected from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
from among those eligible, and the Committee shall determine in its sole
discretion, the number of shares to be covered by the option or options
granted to each optionee. A member of the Committee shall not be eligible to
participate in the Plan.
5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
All options granted under this Plan shall be subject to the foregoing, and to
the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions not
inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine.
5.1 The price to be paid for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise
of each option shall be determined by the Committee at the time
such option is granted, but such price in no event shall be less
than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date on
which such option is granted. For purposes of the Plan, "fair
market value" shall mean the closing price of a share of Common
Stock, as reported by NASDAQ, or by any other exchange upon which
the shares may be traded, on the day on which the value is to be
determined or if that day is not a stock trading day, then on the
last preceding stock trading day. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of an incentive stock option granted to any person
who, at the time of grant of such option, owns stock of the
Company possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company, the option price
must be at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock
subject to the option and such option by its terms must not be
exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such
option is granted.
5.2 Each option shall be exercisable during and over such period
ending not later than ten years from the date it was granted, as
may be determined by the Committee and stated in the option,
except as otherwise required in Paragraph 5.1 above. No incentive
stock option shall be granted after March 4, 2002.
5.3 No option shall be exercisable for six months following the date
of grant.
<PAGE> 4
Exhibit 10(i)
5.4 Payment for shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an option
shall be made either in cash or by check, or by delivery in
exchange for such option shares Company shares with a fair market
value on the date of exercise equal to the option price, or a
combination of both. Fair market value for the purpose of this
Paragraph 5.4 shall have the same meaning as provided in Paragraph
5.1. No optionee shall have any rights to dividends or other rights
of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to an option until
such optionee has given written notice of exercise of such option
and paid in full for such shares.
5.5 If an optionee's employment by the Company or a subsidiary
terminates by reason of the optionee's retirement, death or
permanent and total disability, all of the optionee's outstanding
options must thereafter be exercised during the period of twelve
months after the date of the optionee's retirement, death or
disability, or the stated period of the option, whichever period
is shorter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
incentive stock option, if an optionee's employment by the Company
or a subsidiary terminates solely by reason of the optionee's
retirement, all such outstanding options must thereafter be
exercised during the period of three months after the date of the
optionee's retirement, or the stated period of the option,
whichever period is shorter.
5.6 If an optionee's employment by the Company or a subsidiary is
terminated by reason other than retirement, death or permanent and
total disability, all of the optionee's unexercised outstanding
options, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement,
shall become null and void.
5.7 The Committee may require each person purchasing shares pursuant
to the option to represent to and agree with the Company in
writing that he/she is acquiring the shares without a view to
distribution thereof. The certificates for such may include any
legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any
restrictions on transfers.
5.8 Except as provided in Paragraph 5.9, no option granted pursuant to
this Plan shall be transferable otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order. The Company shall not be liable to any
person for honoring the exercise of the option of a deceased
optionee by the person or persons it shall have determined in good
faith to have acquired the option. During the lifetime of an
optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the optionee.
5.9 Subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt to preserve the
purposes of the Plan, an optionee may transfer a nonstatutory
stock option without consideration to the following ("Permitted
Transferees"):
<PAGE> 5
Exhibit 10(i)
(i) a member of the optionee's immediate family, including
only his or her spouse, lineal descendants, and adopted
children, the spouse's lineal descendants and adopted
children, and the legal representatives of any of those
persons who are minors;
(ii) an irrevocable trust solely for the benefit of the
optionee and his or her immediate family;
(iii) a partnership, limited liability company, or corporate
entity whose sole owners of its capital interests are the
optionee and his or her immediate family; or
(iv) a revocable trust with respect to which the optionee, as
settlor of the trust, retains the right of revocation or
amendment until his or her death.
Such a transfer shall be effective only if the optionee notifies the
Committee in advance and in writing of the terms of the transfer and if
the Committee determines that the transfer complies with the Plan and
any applicable option agreement. Upon transfer, the option shall remain
subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable option agreement,
except the Permitted Transferee may not transfer the option otherwise
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
6. CHANGES IN CAPITAL.
If the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, shares of which are eligible
for the granting of options hereunder or subject to options theretofore
granted, shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock
dividend, split-up, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which the Company is the
surviving corporation, the Committee shall determine what changes, if any,
are appropriate in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan, and the
Committee shall determine what changes, if any, are appropriate in the option
price under and the number and kind of shares covered by outstanding options
granted under the Plan. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its
assets, or other corporation reorganization in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation, notwithstanding the terms and conditions otherwise set
forth in the Plan, all options previously granted and still outstanding shall
become exercisable.
7. USE OF PROCEEDS.
Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to options granted under this Plan
shall constitute general funds of the Company.
8. AMENDMENTS.
The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but
no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would impair
the rights of any optionee under any option theretofore granted, without the
optionee's consent, or which, without the approval of the shareholders,
would:
<PAGE> 6
Exhibit 10(i)
(i) Except as is provided in Paragraph 6 of the Plan, increase the

increased from $171.8 million at the end of 1996 to $195.0 million at the end
of 1997.
The reserve for loan losses at year-end 1997 was 1.97% of total loans,
while nonperforming assets amounted to 0.64% of total loans.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
1997 was indeed a good year for 1st Source. We completed the year with
record earnings, record asset growth, new branches in Indiana and Michigan,
and new sales representatives in North Carolina and the Northwest. We also
began exploring the international expansion of our niche businesses.
First, a review of the numbers. We achieved our 12th consecutive year of
growth in revenues and profits, earning $26.5 million, a 14.2 percent
increase over the prior year. This is matched by our growth in diluted net
income per common share from $1.32 to $1.49, a 12.9 percent increase over the
prior year. Our return on average common shareholders' equity was 14.51
percent and our return on average total assets was 1.21 percent.
We also had a substantial 16.3 percent growth in assets, all internal,
and ended the year with total assets of $2.42 billion. This was fueled by the
continued growth of our local market lending businesses, our national niche
lending businesses and by the opening of 14 new branch facilities over the
last two years.
Our credit experience has been excellent with net losses of only
$144,000 in 1997. This resulted in a 1997 loan loss ratio of .01 percent. It
doesn't get much better than this! We ended the year with a loan loss reserve
of 1.97 percent of loans outstanding despite substantial growth in loans
during the year. The coverage ratio of our loan loss reserve to nonperforming
assets was a very strong 310 percent.
Clearly, 1997's performance was impacted by a number of items. The
addition of so many branches over the last couple of years has slightly
increased our expense to revenue ratio to 57.7 percent. Over the next three
years, we will continue to work to bring it back to the low 50s. The growth
in the value of our stock by 63 percent in 1997 required us to increase our
incentive reserves. We settled a longstanding dispute with the IRS arising
from our 1983 purchase of the First National Bank of Mishawaka over deduction
of the core deposit intangibles. Our tax books are now clear through 1993 and
the settlement cost was approximately $350,000 in additional interest. We
also took advantage of the extension of an IRS regulation allowing
contribution of appreciated securities to private foundations to further fund
the 1st Source Foundation. We raised $44.75 million in long-term capital by
issuing two Trust Preferred Securities. A new subsidiary was created to
segment and manage the non-Indiana assets of our national niche lending
businesses. Lastly, we adopted SFAS No. 125 which requires us to recognize
additional income from our securitization activities.

In summary, it was an excellent year for 1st Source and is another
positive step on the road to achieving our Vision 2000 goals.
In 1995 we wrote that we had developed a Vision for the Year 2000 which
included:
* Being the leading financial institution in the markets we serve;
* Providing the highest quality service;
* Nurturing a pride of ownership and a spirit of teamwork in all of our
colleagues;
* Maintaining independent ownership;
* Upholding the highest ethical standards in our industry;
* Embracing the social and economic ideals of the
communities we serve;
* Delivering consistently superior financial returns.

Chairman of the Board
Our mid-course review conducted during 1997 of these and our Vision 2000
financial goals tells us that what once was a dream is now a real
possibility. We continue to make necessary corrections but are still focused
on the same goals and have a good chance of achieving them so long as the
economy stays healthy, interest rates remain in a relatively stable range,
and employment holds up. We are optimistic about the future but do see some
significant challenges.
PEOPLE
Attracting, training, and retaining good people is perhaps the toughest
challenge we face. With area unemployment in the 3 percent range and demand
for superior performers so high, it is tough finding and hiring the good
people we need. While we have been fortunate and successful in our college
recruiting efforts, our needs have expanded considerably with the growth of
our on-line banking service and the opening of so many new branches.
Additionally, our reputation for attracting and training good people has made
us the target of choice for businesses that want to expand in our markets.
During the early part of the year we launched a major effort to identify
and recruit people who have a serious commitment of service to others to join
us. We have used a series of diagnostic tests to help us select people who
will continue to deliver the highest level of personal service in a
professional way. We expanded our college recruiting program and employed the
services of search firms to broaden our efforts. Some of these activities
have been successful and we enter 1998 with an even stronger commitment to
attract people to 1st Source who will embrace our core values and help
deliver on our mission to build customer wealth.
TRAINING AND TOOLS
Keeping ourselves up to date with the changes in our business products and
services, and preparing ourselves to effectively compete through proactive
relationship management is a daunting task. Banks are becoming further
deregulated and are able to sell new products in the investment and insurance
areas. We must be more knowledgeable and sophisticated in assessing and
understanding the needs of our clients. We must learn to use our "customer
x-ray" and our "service templates" to anticipate and meet the needs of our
individual clients. Training and continuing education are central to the concept
of a learning organization.
We continued to accelerate formal disciplined training in our Quality
Improvement and Quality Planning efforts. We spent considerable time discussing
the concept of relationship management, defining how it is to work at 1st
Source, and designing service templates to guide us in the delivery of the very
best in service. We taught analytical skills and tools for managing and making
change. And lastly, we introduced customer focus groups, customer satisfaction
analysis, and direct customer interviews as a basic part of the business
manager's tool kit. Surveys were undertaken and the results used in branches,
small business banking, employee benefits administration and management, and
commercial banking.
MARGINS AND INTEREST RATE RISK
The difference between our cost of funds and our earnings on those funds
is getting smaller. Keeping it from shrinking further is becoming more
difficult. There are clearly more alternatives for the saver's dollars and
consumers seem to have forgotten the risk of loss inherent in the stock
market. The significant and well-publicized growth in the market over the
past few years has attracted a lot of dollars out of savings. There are also
new financial competitors in our region competing for the dollars that
remain. This has led to aggressive bidding for funds and an
--------
3
<PAGE> 4
increase in the cost of attracting and retaining funds. At the same time,
pricing competition remains strong on the asset side, as many banks try to
grow their loan portfolios. We have seen banks trying to increase their
lending market share with price incentives and easier credit terms. Some of
this reminds us of the early eighties just before the bottom dropped out!
We maintain a commitment to disciplined pricing and credit terms. Our
strategy is to be aggressive with pricing and to hold true to the basics in
granting credit. Too often we have seen financial institutions, in their
efforts to grow, jump into and out of geographic and product markets using
lower pricing and easier credit standards. When they leave, as they
inevitably do, the landscape is filled with bankrupt companies and broken
dreams. We take our responsibility seriously and will maintain our credit
standards knowing it is in the long term best interest of our borrowing
customers, our depositors and our shareholders.
We have also tried to manage our asset and liability mix so that
movements in interest rates have as little impact on us as possible. We have
used the cash markets, deposit pricing and the swap markets to do this. Our
asset and liability management committee meets monthly to review our progress
and make mid-course corrections as necessary based on our assessment of the
economy and the near-term direction of rates. Almost all of the first
mortgages produced in the bank and all of those produced in Trustcorp
Mortgage Company are sold into the secondary market, although we retain the
servicing rights to maintain customer contact. We have also used the capital
markets to fund the growth in our aircraft lending by securitizing loans of
these customers. We will continue to look for ways either to fund or to
protect portions of the balance sheet from adverse interest rate movements or
from difficult funding situations.
TECHNOLOGY
Choosing the right technologies to meet our growing needs and manage our
product sales efforts has a major impact on our ability to compete and on our
cost structure. We always want to be a high-touch service organization which
uses technology to more effectively meet the needs of our clients. Similarly,
we know that millions of dollars are wasted on technology projects which do
not add value to the customer relationship. Often they are undertaken because
a competitor has made the expenditure, the conventional wisdom says they
should, or a vendor convinces them it is necessary to do so to stay
competitive in the marketplace.
Our approach is to invest only in those areas that make us a better bank
in serving the customer and help us deliver on our mission to build our
customer's wealth. We embraced check imaging technologies because we believed
they would give us better control over the paper and make it easier to manage
vast amounts of customer information. We believed there would be operational
or administrative cost savings. Some of this has happened for us, but a lot
has not. The process was more complicated and the savings are slower in
coming. We will get them but it will take a longer time period to realize the
returns anticipated from the investment. In contrast, our customer
information automation system in our branches has exceeded our expectations
and truly enhances our customer service efforts. Technology investing is
always risky, but essential.
Over the next year, we will work to ensure that all of our
mission-critical systems and software are Year 2000 compliant. We started a
major effort in early 1997 to identify all software with date-specific
applications that could be affected by the year changing from 1999 to 2000.
This is the first time since computers were developed that the last two
digits in a year are lower than those of the prior year. By the close of
1997, we had catalogued our systems and software, identified the
mission-critical programs, and confirmed compliance or began a process to
bring about compliance. We will be making the appropriate changes and testing
them in 1998 with the hope of ensuring that 2000 is nothing more than the
passing of one more year.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGULATORY ISSUES
Trying to keep up with all the accounting changes and still properly
reflect our performance has become increasingly difficult. Various
pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) seem to
confuse financial reporting so that the numbers which are shown bear little
resemblance to the
- --------
4
<PAGE> 5
real operations or the value added in the business. These pronouncements have
also added more volatility to both the income statement and the balance sheet.
We know that the FASB is supposed to be making pronouncements and
promulgating standards which cause companies to properly and uniformly
reflect the real results of their operations. Our experience is that many of
the newer pronouncements do just the opposite; they require us to make
numerous assumptions about the future to reflect income now, before we have
received it or are even assured of receiving it. For that reason we are
trying to err on the side of conservatism in these assumptions. We think it
is better to build for the future than to overstate the present.
To be sure, at the close of 1997 we adopted SFAS No. 125 and had to
reflect an additional $800,000 in revenues from our securitization activities
this year based on our historical track record...which has been pretty good.
Unfortunately, this causes us to estimate future income and report it now. If
our assumptions prove too optimistic we will have to reverse income in future
periods. Some mortgage companies and lenders in the lower quality B and C
markets have had to do this in the past few years. With this in mind, we have
taken a conservative approach to making our assumptions. The only thing we
are sure about in the future is that it will not develop exactly as we
assume, no matter what our assumptions.
With all the required and suggested accounting changes, our traditional
accounting and financial control and management systems are becoming less
helpful in managing our businesses. They do not neatly reflect the operating
characteristics nor the operating levers of the business. To address this we
have spent the last year reviewing our financial control and reporting
systems and developing a new methodology for the financial management of our
businesses.
1st Source, like many other companies, has adopted Economic Value Added
(EVA) as an analytical and management tool. We have done so knowing that it
is not a management panacea and will not make our decisions for us. It is
nothing more than a methodology for measuring and managing the financial
equations of our business. We have been using discounted cash flow analysis
for our investment decisions, for mergers and acquisitions, and for capital
expenditures for the last 15 years. EVA is a modification of this with
specific adjustments made for segments of our business. We know it will take
time for this approach to be well understood by our colleagues, but we
believe the effort is worthwhile.
RECOGNITION
We are pleased that our endeavors were recognized by others in 1997. 1st
Source Corporation was named to the 1997 Honor Roll of Keefe, Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. This acknowledges those banking companies who have reported
increases in earnings per share regardless of the banking environment over
the last decade. Of the 127 banking companies currently under their active
research universe, we were among only eleven who posted a ten year record
worthy of admission to the Honor Roll. Additionally, Standard and Poor's and
a number of analysts have noted our consistent performance, and a
statewide reader's poll conducted by Indiana Business Magazine selected 1st
Source Bank as one of Indiana's Best Banks. While we are proud of our past
accomplishments, we understand full well that what happens in the future is
most important.
There are many challenges still facing us as we move toward our Vision
2000 goals. We believe we are well prepared to deal with them. With the
assistance of a great group of colleagues and the guidance of a dedicated
Board of Directors, we have every reason to be optimistic about the future.
We close by thanking them for being committed to serving our customers
well...and for doing just that.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income in 1997 was $26.5 million, up from $23.2 million in 1996 and
$21.0 million in 1995. Diluted net income per common share was $1.49 in 1997,
$1.32 in 1996 and $1.19 in 1995 after giving retroactive recognition to stock
splits and stock dividends.
Return on average total assets was 1.21% in 1997, compared to 1.22% in
1996 and 1.25% in 1995. Return on average common equity was 14.51% in 1997
versus 14.38% in 1996 and 14.75% in 1995.
Net income in 1997 was favorably affected by strong loan growth and
noninterest income growth. The increase in net interest income and
noninterest income was partially offset by a higher provision for loan
losses due to increased loan outstandings. In addition, expense increases
occurred in salaries and benefits, furniture and equipment, marketing, leased
equipment depreciation and other expense. Most of these expense increases,
except leased equipment depreciation, were directly or indirectly the result
of our continued branch expansion program.
Dividends declared on common stock in 1997 amounted to $.275 per share,
compared to $.240 in 1996 and $.208 in 1995. The level of earnings
reinvested and dividend payouts are based on management's assessment of
future growth opportunities and the level of capital necessary to support
them.
The quarterly results of operations for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 are summarized below.

BALANCE SHEET COMPOSITION AND MANAGEMENT
Changes in interest income and interest expense are affected by the
allocation of funds throughout the Statement of Financial Condition. The
following sections discuss the sources from which 1st Source obtains funds
and the manner in which management has chosen to invest these funds.

<PAGE> 10
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Continued
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOURCE OF FUNDS
CORE DEPOSITS -- 1st Source's major source of investable funds is
provided by stable core deposits consisting of all interest bearing and
non-interest bearing deposits, excluding brokered certificates of deposit and
certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over. In 1997, average core deposits
equaled 63.36% of average total assets, compared to 68.32% in 1996 and 71.59%
in 1995. The effective cost rate of core deposits in 1997 was 3.97%, compared
to 3.98% in 1996 and 3.91% in 1995.
Average demand deposits (non-interest bearing core deposits) increased
12.78% in 1997, compared to an increase of 7.83% in 1996. They represented
15.13% of total core deposits in 1997 compared to 14.43% in 1996 and 14.35%
in 1995.
PURCHASED FUNDS -- 1st Source's purchased funds are used to
supplement core deposits and include certificates of deposit of $100,000 and
over, brokered certificates of deposit, federal funds, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings.
Purchased funds are raised from customers seeking short-term investments and
are used to balance the bank's interest rate sensitivity. During 1997, 1st
Source's reliance on purchased funds increased to 24.29% of average total
assets from 20.33% in 1996.
LOAN SECURITIZATIONS -- 1st Source sold $63 million of loans in 1997
in conjunction with revolving agreements related to prior years'
securitizations.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY -- Management continues to emphasize profitable
asset growth and retention of equity in the business. Average shareholders'
equity equates to 8.30% of average total assets in 1997 compared to 8.51% in
1996. Shareholders' equity was 8.06% of total assets at year-end 1997,
compared to 8.26% at year-end 1996.
INVESTMENT OF FUNDS
INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- Investment securities at year-end 1997
decreased 1.94% from 1996, following a 6.74% increase from year-end 1995 to
year-end 1996. This decrease is attributed to the sale of various securities
used to fund a bank-owned life insurance program.
LOANS -- Average loans, net of unearned discount, increased 19.49% in
1997, following a 14.98% increase in 1996. Loans, net of unearned discount,
at December 31, 1997, were $1.80 billion and were 74.30% of total assets,
compared to $1.46 billion or 69.99% of total assets at December 31, 1996.
Transportation and equipment loans at year-end 1997 increased 34.16%
from year-end 1996. The higher outstandings reflect considerable growth in
construction equipment, auto rental franchises, aircraft and truck, and
automobile leasing company financings.
Commercial lending outstandings increased 16.16% during 1997. This
growth was fueled by geographic expansion, renewed emphasis on sales effort
and customer service. The growth was primarily in small business and middle
market lending.
Real estate loans recorded growth of 21.37% during 1997. This increase
was led by mortgage loans held for sale with an increase of 26.97%, followed
by an increase of 20.42% in commercial real estate lending.
The 22.32% growth in installment loans reflects our increased direct
consumer lending resulting from greater marketing efforts coupled with the
new retail banking centers.
LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT -- The Asset/Liability management process
incorporates overall bank liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. The
purpose of liquidity management is to match the sources and use of funds to
anticipated customer deposits, withdrawals and borrowing requirements, as
well as to provide for the cash flow needs of 1st Source. The primary source
of liquidity is the investment portfolio. At December 31, 1997, securities
maturing in one year amounted to $97.9 million which represented 23.59% of
the investment portfolio as compared to 18.43% at year-end 1996. Other
alternative sources of funds are loan repayments and loan securitizations.
The liquidity of 1st Source is further enhanced by a significant
concentration of core deposits and $100,000-and-over certificates of deposit.
Both provided a relatively stable funding base.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT -- The Asset/Liability Management
Committee of 1st Source monitors and manages the relationship of earning
assets to interest bearing liabilities and the responsiveness of asset
yields, interest expense and interest margins to changes in market interest
rates. In the normal course of business, 1st Source faces ongoing interest
rate risks and uncertainties. 1st Source utilizes interest rate swaps to
manage the primary market exposures associated with the interest rate risk
related to underlying assets, liabilities, and anticipated transactions.
Under the current interest rate swaps, 1st Source entered into agreements
with another

party to exchange, at specific intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and
floating-rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to a notional amount
as a means to convert floating rate loans to a fixed rate. The notional amounts
total $51.6 million at December 31, 1997. The current positions are not
leveraged and are not held for trading.
A hypothetical change in earnings was modeled by calculating an
immediate 100 basis point (1.00%) change in interest rates across all
maturities. This analysis presents the hypothetical change in earnings of
those rate sensitive financial instruments and interest rate swaps held by
1st Source at December 31, 1997. The aggregate hypothetical loss in pre-tax
earnings is estimated to be $4,501,840 on an annualized basis on all rate
sensitive financial instruments and the interest rate swaps based on a
hypothetical increase of 100 basis point change in interest rates. The
aggregate hypothetical increase in pre-tax earnings is estimated to be
$5,897,510 on an annualized basis on all rate sensitive financial instruments
and the interest rate swaps based on a hypothetical decrease of 100 basis
point change in interest rates. Actual results may differ materially from
those projected. The use of this methodology to quantify the market risk of
the balance sheet should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy
or the accuracy of the related assumptions.
Due to the nature of the mortgage banking business, 1st Source manages
the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of Trustcorp Mortgage
Company on a separate basis. The predominant assets on Trustcorp's balance
sheet are mortgage loans held for sale, which are funded by short-term
borrowings (normally less than 30 days) from correspondent banks. These
borrowings are managed on a daily basis. Trustcorp's other borrowings for
working capital and purchases of servicing assets are funded by 1st Source
Corporation and correspondent banks.
Trustcorp manages the interest rate risk related to loan commitments
by entering into contracts for future delivery of loans. (See Note M of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
EARNING RESULTS
Net interest income, the difference between income from earning assets
and the interest cost of funding those assets, is 1st Source's primary source
of earnings. Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis,
increased 13.31% in 1997, following a 7.01% increase in 1996.
Net interest margin, the ratio of net interest income to average earning
assets, is affected by movements in interest rates and changes in the mix of
earning assets and the liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest
margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 4.38% in 1997 compared to
4.48% in 1996 and 4.71% in 1995.
The yield on earning assets in 1997 was 8.65%, compared to 8.64% in 1996
and 8.85% in 1995. Average earning assets in 1997 increased 15.82%, following
a 12.57% increase in 1996. The effective rate on interest bearing liabilities
was 5.04% in 1997, compared to 4.85% for both 1996 and 1995.
NONINTEREST INCOME -- Supplementing the growth in net interest income
was an increase in noninterest income of 39.94% over 1996. The factors

EARNING RESULTS -- CONTINUED
the growth were the recognition of additional aircraft loan securitization
income, revenues generated from operating leases, and the sale of mortgage
loans and servicing. Noninterest income in 1996 increased 30.72% over 1995 due
primarily to the recognition of originated mortgage servicing rights, income
derived from aircraft loan securitizations and revenues generated from
operating leases.
Trust fees in 1997 were $7.31 million, compared to $6.73 million in 1996
and $6.64 million in 1995. Trust fees increased 8.62% in 1997, following a
1.40% increase in 1996.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by 11.41% resulting in
$5.38 million of income for 1997. The $4.83 million recorded in 1996 was a
decrease of 2.13% from the $4.93 million of service charges on deposit
accounts generated in 1995.
1st Source, as a result of adopting SFAS No. 125 during 1997 (see Note A
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), recognized aircraft loan
securitization gains of $800,000. Aircraft loan securitization and servicing
income in 1997 was $3.76 million, compared to $1.10 million in 1996. This
increase resulted from servicing fees on $118 million of securitized loans in
1997, compared to only $58 million in securitized loans for most of 1996.
Also contributing to the increase was the recognition of $1.20 million of
income during 1997 due to favorable credit loss experience from the
securitized assets.
Gains of $1.28 million were recognized on the sale of mortgage loans and
servicing in 1997, compared to gains of $863,000 in 1996. In addition, fees
for servicing mortgages grew from $1.63 million in 1996 to $1.69 million in
1997. As of year-end 1997, Trustcorp Mortgage Company's mortgage servicing
portfolio aggregates $1.35 billion, as compared to $1.28 billion one year
ago.
Equipment rental income generated from operating leases increased to
$6.95 million in 1997, nearly a 154% increase over 1996. The $2.74 million
recorded in 1996 was nearly a fivefold increase over 1995. Revenues from
operating leases for construction equipment, automobiles and other equipment,

EARNING RESULTS -- CONTINUED
and the related depreciation on the equipment, have increased significantly
in the past two years as 1st Source has focused on increasing this line of
business.
Other income increased 23.44% during 1997, following an increase of
23.22% in 1996. The growth of other income in 1997 was generated primarily by
increases in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, mortgage
underwriting fees and standby letter of credit fees. The growth in 1996 of
other income was fueled by standby letter of credit fees, mortgage
underwriting and document preparation fees and discount brokerage income.
The 1997 net losses recorded for investment securities and other
represent, primarily, the write-off of a venture capital investment.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE -- During 1997, 1st Source experienced an
increase in noninterest expenses primarily attributed to our continued branch
expansion, costs to attract quality people and training to enable our people
to deliver the highest service to our customers. In addition, the
depreciation on our growing operating lease portfolio and the additional
provisions needed for our stock incentive reserves contributed to the overall
increase in operating expenses. Cost control across all business units and
better utilization of resources continues to be a major focus at 1st Source.
Noninterest expense increased 20.38% during 1997. This compares to an
increase of 10.50% in 1996. The increase in noninterest expense during 1996
was primarily due to the acquisition and implementation of improved
technologies and the opening of ten branches.
Salaries and employee benefits comprised approximately 57% of total
noninterest expense in 1997 compared to 59% in 1996. Salaries and employee
benefits increased 15.80% in 1997, following a 10.72% increase in 1996.
Salaries and wages increased 12.73% in 1997 and 12.67% in 1996. The number of
full-time equivalent employees stood at 966, 895 and 811 at the end of 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Employee benefits increased 27.07% in 1997,
following a 4.08% increase in 1996. The increase in employee benefits was
primarily the result of additional provisions being made to fund our stock
incentive reserves, due to the significant 63% increase in the market price of
1st Source common stock during 1997. Group insurance expense decreased 9.86%
in 1997, following an 11.62% increase in 1996.
Occupancy expense in 1997 decreased 3.22% from 1996, following a 24.73%
increase in 1996. The reduction in occupancy expenses in 1997 is attributed
to greater tenant occupancy of our headquarters building. The 1996 occupancy
expense increase was due to reduced tenant rental income and the branch
expansion.
Furniture and equipment expense increased in 1997 by 15.07%, following a
14.84% increase in 1996. The increase in 1997 is attributed to depreciation.
Increases in 1996 occurred in depreciation, repair and outside computer
processing expenses. In addition, equipment and furniture expenses relating,
primarily, to the branch expansion contributed to the increase.
Depreciation on operating leases increased 176% in 1997, following a
268% increase in 1996.
Business development and marketing expense increased 33.78% in 1997,
following an increase of 10.65% in 1996. The increase in 1997 was the result
of appreciated stock with a cost basis of $753,000 being donated to the 1st
Source Foundation.
An increase of 19.56% occurred in other expenses during 1997, compared
to a 9.26% decrease in 1996. During 1997, 1st Source experienced increases in
employee acquisition and training, communications, professional consulting
and collection and repossession expenses. In 1996, the significant increase
in communication expenses was more than offset by a dramatic reduction in
insurance expense. The FDIC reduced the premium assessment to zero per $100
of assessable deposits. This action drove overall insurance expenses down
76.25% for 1996.
In early 1997, management formed a task force to analyze the business
and operational risks associated with whether systems, software, and other
date-specific applications are Year 2000 compliant. Completion of the study,
testing and full implementation of any required changes to "mission critical"
systems are targeted by December 31, 1998. At this time, management does not
anticipate any material impact to 1st Source.
INCOME TAXES -- Federal income taxes were $10.79 million in 1997,
prior to the tax benefit of $936,000 relating to the distribution on
preferred securities of subsidiary trusts. After this benefit, the federal
income taxes were $9.86 million, or 27.12% of income after state taxes,
compared to $9.13 million or 28.24% in 1996 and $8.07 million or 27.72% in
1995. The lower percentage of federal income taxes in

EARNING RESULTS -- CONCLUDED
1997 is the result of less taxable income and the contribution of appreciated
stock which resulted in favorable tax treatment for the year. A settlement with
the Internal Revenue Service was reached during 1997 over a dispute arising from
the 1983 purchase of the First National Bank of Mishawaka relating to deduction
of core deposit intangibles. Estimated interest due to the IRS of $350,000 was
recorded in 1997. State income taxes were $3.60 million in 1997, prior to the
tax benefit of $248,000 relating to the distribution on preferred securities

million, compared to $3.27 million in 1996 and $2.93 million in 1995.
CREDIT EXPERIENCE
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES -- The ability of a bank to identify and
assess the risk factors affecting its loan portfolio is crucial for
profitability. Management follows a credit policy that balances the risk and
return on loans and monitors potential credit problems to ensure that they
are adequately managed and reserved.
The reserve for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that may be
incurred in the normal course of lending. The provision made to the reserve
is determined by management based on the risk factors affecting the loan
portfolio, including general economic conditions, changes to the portfolio
mix, and past loan loss experience.
The provision for loan losses for 1997 was $6.05 million, compared to
$4.65 million in 1996 and $2.76 million in 1995. Net charge-offs of $144,000
were recorded in 1997, compared to net charge-offs of $1.78 million in 1996
and net recoveries of $845,000 in 1995.
The reserve for loan losses at December 31, 1997, totaled $35.42 million
and was 1.97% of loans, compared to $29.52 million or 2.03% of loans at
December 31, 1996, and $27.47 million or 2.18% of loans at December 31, 1995.
It is management's opinion that the reserve for loan losses is adequate to
absorb anticipated losses in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 1997.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS -- 1st Source's policy is to discontinue the
accrual of interest on loans on which principal or interest is past due and
remains unpaid for 90 days or more, unless the loan is well collateralized
and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
any current year accrued interest not collected is reversed and prior year
accruals are charged to the reserve for loan losses. Nonperforming assets
amounted to $11.44 million at December 31, 1997, compared to $7.77 million at
December 31, 1996 and $6.58 million at December 31, 1995. Impaired loans
totaled $9.39 million, $8.13 million, and $6.38 million at December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION -- The results of operations can also be affected by
inflation, although it is difficult to measure the precise impact on the
various types of income and expense. Interest rates, in particular, are
significantly affected by inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude
of the changes coincide with changes in the consumer price index nor other
measures of inflation. Additionally, increases in interest rates, such as
those on consumer deposits, lag behind increases in overall rates. This, in
turn, affects the composition of sources of funds by reducing core deposit
growth and increasing the need for purchased funds. Another significant effect
of inflation is on noninterest expenses, which tend to rise during periods of
general inflation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1st Source Corporation and Subsidiaries
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal line of business of 1st Source Corporation ("1st Source")
and subsidiaries is banking and closely related activities.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The financial statements consolidate 1st
Source and its subsidiaries (principally 1st Source Bank and Trustcorp
Mortgage Company). All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated. For purposes of the parent company only financial
information presented in Note Q, investments in subsidiaries are carried at
1st Source's equity in the underlying net assets.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- Securities that may be sold as part of 1st Source's
asset/liability or liquidity management or in response to or in anticipation
of changes in interest rates and resulting prepayment risk, or for other
similar factors, are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair
market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities
available-for-sale are reported net of related deferred income taxes as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. Securities that 1st Source has
the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity are classified as
held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. Trading securities are
carried at fair market value with unrealized holding gains and losses
included in earnings. There were no trading securities at December 31, 1997
or 1996, respectively. Realized gains and losses on the sales of all
securities are reported in earnings and computed using the specific
identification cost basis.
LOANS -- Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of
unearned income. Loans identified as held-for-sale are carried at the lower
of cost or market determined on an aggregate basis. Loans held for sale
totaled $130.0 million and $102.4 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
On January 1, 1997, 1st Source adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The Statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards to assist in determining when to recognize
or derecognize financial assets and liabilities in the financial statements
after a transfer of financial assets has occurred. As a result of adopting
SFAS No. 125, 1st Source recognized $800,000 of aircraft loan securitization
gains in 1997. No servicing assets have been recorded as a result of loan
securitizations as of December 31, 1997.
SERVICING RIGHTS -- The costs of purchasing the rights to service mortgage
loans originated by others are deferred and amortized as reductions of
mortgage servicing fee income over the estimated servicing period in
proportion to the estimated servicing income to be received. Gains and losses
on the sale of mortgage servicing rights are recognized as non-interest
income in the period in which such rights are sold on a servicing released
basis.
SFAS No. 125 also supersedes, but generally retains, the requirements of
SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," which the Company
adopted effective January 1996. Both statements require companies that intend
to sell originated or purchased loans and retain the related servicing
rights, to allocate a portion of the total costs of the loans to servicing
rights, based on estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on
market prices, when available, or the present value of future net servicing
income, adjusted for such factors as discount and prepayment rates. In
addition, SFAS No. 125 eliminates the distinction between normal and excess
servicing to the extent the servicing fee does not exceed that specified in
the contract. As of December 31, 1997, and 1996, $11.6 million and $8.5
million, respectively, of mortgage servicing rights have been capitalized. As
of these dates, they had a fair value of $21.0 million and $20.2 million
respectively. 1st Source's pretax income was increased in 1996 by
approximately $1.4 million, net of certain adjustments, including
amortization, as a result of adopting the above.
Mortgage servicing rights are being amortized using a method which
approximates the effective yield method and for the years ended December 31,
1997, and 1996, $2.72 million and $2.68 million of amortization expense has
been recognized.
SFAS No. 125 also requires 1st Source to assess its capitalized servicing
rights for impairment based on their current fair value. 1st Source
disaggregates its servicing portfolio based on loan type and interest rate,
the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. There was no
valuation allowance associated with capitalized mortgage servicing rights at
December 31, 1997.

1st Source Corporation and Subsidiaries
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- CONTINUED
REVENUE RECOGNITION -- Interest on loans is included in interest income on
the accrual method over the terms of the loans based upon principal balances
outstanding.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when a loan becomes
contractually delinquent for 90 days, except for installment loans where
payments are being received regularly and mortgage loans, which are placed on
nonaccrual at the time the loan is placed in foreclosure. When interest
accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income in the current year is
reversed, and interest accrued in the prior year is charged to the reserve
for loan losses. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest
when the net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the
principal and accrued interest.
Certain loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan
origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized to interest
income generally over the contractual life of the related loan or commitment.
RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES -- A loan is considered impaired, based on current
information and events, if it is probable that 1st Source will be unable to
collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired
loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that all
collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair
value of the collateral.
The provision for loan losses charged to expense is based upon the actual
net loan losses incurred as determined by credit loss experience, the
evaluation of potential losses in the portfolio, the evaluation of impaired
loans, plus an amount for such other factors which, in management's judgment,
deserve recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Loans are charged
against the reserve for loan losses when deemed uncollectible.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT -- Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is computed
generally by the straight-line method, primarily with useful lives of 5, 7,
15 and 31 1/2 years.
LEASED ASSETS -- 1st Source finances various types of equipment and
automobiles under leases principally classified as operating leases. The
assets are grouped with Other assets on the balance sheet and are being
depreciated on a straight-line method over the life of the lease. Operating
leases totaled $39.3 million and $20.3 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Accumulated depreciation on those operating leases was $7.3
million and $4.3 million at the end of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
TRUST FEES -- Trust fees are recognized on the accrual basis.
INCOME TAXES -- Deferred income taxes are determined under the liability
method. The net deferred tax assets are comprised of the tax effect of net
temporary differences related principally to differing methods of accounting
for loan losses.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE -- In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share." This Statement
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share,
simplifies the standards for computation and makes the calculation comparable
to international accounting standards. Under SFAS No. 128, "primary earnings
per share" was replaced by "basic" earnings per share and requires both
"basic" and "diluted" earnings per share to be presented on the face of the
income statement. SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December
15, 1997, and restatement of prior period earnings must occur upon adoption.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding which were as follows
(in thousands): 1997, 17,214; 1996, 17,176; and 1995, 17,284. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options. The weighted average number of common shares,
increased for the dilutive effect of stock options used in the computation of
diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands): 1997, 17,766;
1996, 17,597; and 1995, 17,637.
The computations of the weighted average number of common shares used for
the determination of both basic and diluted earnings per share give retroactive
recognition to a 10% stock dividend declared January 20, 1998, payable
February 13, 1998, to shareholders of record on February 5, 1998.
FUNDS HELD IN TRUST FOR INVESTORS AND MORTGAGORS -- As of December 31, 1997
and 1996, serviced loans which were owned by investors aggregated $1.35
billion and $1.28 billion, respectively. Funds held in trust for the payment
of principal, interest, taxes and insurance premiums applicable to mortgage
loans being serviced for others, aggregating approximately $22.5 million, are
included in the

NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- CONCLUDED
December 31, 1997, consolidated statement of financial condition as they are on
deposit in 1st Source Bank. Funds held in trust for investors and mortgagors
aggregated $18.0 million at December 31, 1996, when the funds were on deposit in
other banks and not included in the consolidated statement of financial
condition.
CASH FLOW INFORMATION -- For purposes of the consolidated and parent company
only statements of cash flows, 1st Source considers cash and due from banks as
cash and cash equivalents. Cash paid during the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995, for interest and for income taxes was $83.7 million and
$10.7 million, $73.3 million and $14.9 million, and $61.0 million and $12.9
million, respectively.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS -- 1st Source Bank and Trustcorp
Mortgage Company enter into interest rate swap agreements as part of their
interest rate risk management strategies. These instruments are accounted for
under the accrual basis of accounting, whereby the income or expense is recorded
as a component of interest income. If a swap is terminated, the resulting gain
or loss is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the off-balance
sheet investment product.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- In June 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The
Statement establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. Presently, the only component of comprehensive income
not included in net income is unrealized gains or losses on
available-for-sale investment securities. The Statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with reclassification of the
financial statements for earlier periods required for comparative purposes.
1st Source plans to adopt the Statement in 1998.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The
Statement changes the manner in which public companies report segment
information in annual reports and requires companies to report selected
segment information in interim financial reports. Companies will be required
to report financial and descriptive information about the company's operating
segments. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997, with reclassification of the financial statements for
earlier periods required for comparative purposes. In the year of adoption,
companies will not be required to disclose interim period information. 1st
Source plans to adopt the Statement in 1998.
RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1996 consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1997
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets,
shareholders' equity or net income as previously reported.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE B -- FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of 1st Source's financial instruments as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, are summarized in the following table.
The following methods and assumptions were used by 1st Source in estimating
the fair value of its financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- The carrying values reported in the
consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and due from banks,
interest bearing deposits with other banks and federal funds sold approximate
their fair values.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- Fair values for investment securities are based on
quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices of
comparable investments.
LOANS -- For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no
significant change in credit risk and for loans held for sale, fair values
are based on carrying values. The fair values for certain real estate loans
(e.g., one-to-four single family residential mortgage loans) are based on
quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization
transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair
values of all other loans (e.g., commercial loans, transportation and
equipment loans, and installment loans) are estimated using discounted cash
flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with
similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
DEPOSITS -- The fair values for all deposits other than time deposits are
equal to the amounts payable on demand (the carrying value). Fair values of
variable rate time deposits are equal to their carrying values. Fair values
for fixed rate time deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses
using interest rates currently being offered for deposits with similar
remaining maturities.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE B -- FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- CONCLUDED
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS -- The carrying values of federal funds purchased,
securities sold under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings
approximate their fair values.
LONG-TERM DEBT -- The fair values of 1st Source's long-term debt are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on 1st Source's current
estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements.
GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY'S SUBORDINATED
DEBENTURES (CUMULATIVE TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES) -- Fair values are based
on quoted market prices.
GUARANTEES AND LOAN COMMITMENTS -- Contract and fair values for certain
of 1st Source's off-balance-sheet financial instruments (guarantees and loan
commitments) are estimated based on fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements
and the counterparties' credit standing.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS -- Fair values for interest rate swaps are based on
the net amount necessary to currently settle the transaction.
LIMITATIONS -- Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time
based on relevant market information and information about the financial
instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of 1st
Source's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments
regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments and other such factors.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and
off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the
value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities
that are not considered financial instruments. For example, 1st Source has a
substantial annual trust department net fee income. The trust department is
not considered a financial instrument and its value has not been incorporated
into the fair value estimates.
Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial
instruments include the mortgage banking operation, premises and equipment
and other assets. In addition, for investment and mortgage-backed securities,
the income tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains
and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not
been considered in many of the estimates. Also, the fair value estimates for
deposits do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding
provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds
in the market.

December 31, 1997, was approximately $8.3 million.
Under available line of credit agreements, 1st Source may borrow up to $3
million. At December 31, 1997, there were no outstanding borrowings under these
lines, which were assigned to support commercial paper borrowings.

Other equity securities classified as held-to-maturity at December 31, 1997
and 1996, include securities such as Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home
Loan Bank stock, which are not traded on established exchanges and have only
redemption capabilities. Fair values for such equity securities are
considered to approximate cost. Debt securities issued by foreign governments
(classified as available-for-sale) with an amortized cost of $1.59 million
and estimated aggregate fair values of $3.27 million and $2.93 million at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and commercial paper (classified as
held-to-maturity) with an amortized cost and estimated aggregate fair value
of $21.5 million at December 31, 1996, are included in the above debt
securities, but are classified as loans in the accompanying 1997 and 1996
consolidated statements of financial condition. 1st Source had no trading
securities as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. The following represents the

were realized during 1995 and gross losses of $324,037 were realized during
1997 on the sales of securities held-to-maturity. The $324,037 gross loss was
due to the write-off of a bankrupt venture capital investment.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, investment securities with carrying values
of $210.1 million and $240.5 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral
to secure government, public and trust deposits and for other purposes.

BALANCE, END OF YEAR $35,424 $29,516 $27,470
===================================================================================================
</TABLE>
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, loans amounting to $10.03 million and $6.68
million, respectively, substantially all of which are collateralized, are
considered to be nonaccrual or restructured loans. Interest income for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, would have increased by
approximately $786,000, $533,000, and $383,000, respectively, if these loans
earned interest at their full contract rate.
As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, impaired loans totaled $9.39 million and
$8.13 million, respectively, of which $1.14 million and $5.78 million had
corresponding specific reserves for loan losses totaling $0.61 million and
$1.52 million, respectively. The remaining balances of impaired loans had no
specific reserves for loan losses associated with them. The vast majority of
the impaired loans are nonaccrual loans; interest is not recognized on
nonaccrual loans subsequent to the date the loan is placed in nonaccrual
status. While a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the future
collectibility of the recorded loan balance is doubtful, collections on
interest and principal are generally applied as a reduction to principal
outstanding. Interest on the remainder of the impaired loans is recognized on
the accrual basis. For 1997 and 1996, the average recorded investment in
impaired loans was $9.46 million and $9.41 million, respectively, and
interest income recognized on impaired loans totaled $376,000 and $464,000,
respectively.

Agreement contains, among other provisions, a make-whole provision for early
extinguishment of debt, and certain covenants relating to existence and
mergers, capital structure and financial requirements.
The subordinated capital notes were issued in conjunction with a 1992
acquisition and include $1.98 million due June 18, 1999, and $3.095 million
due June 18, 2002. The interest rate on these notes is adjusted monthly and
was 5.93% at December 31, 1997. The notes are callable in whole or in part by
1st Source at par value. The notes are unsecured and are subordinated to the
claims of depositors and other creditors of 1st Source Bank. Subsequent to
December 31, 1997, $3.93 million of these notes were redeemed.
At December 31, 1997, the Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings aggregating
$956,455 represent a source of funding for certain residential mortgage
activities and consist of four fixed rate notes with interest rates ranging
from 5.54% to 6.98% and maturities ranging from 2003 to 2017. These notes, as
well as $50 million in short-term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, are
collateralized by $81.5 million of certain residential mortgage loans.

NOTE H -- COMMON STOCK
Effective January 1, 1996, 1st Source adopted SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" on a disclosure basis only. The disclosure
requirements include reporting the pro forma effect on net income and net
income per share of compensation expense that is attributable to the fair
value of stock options and other stock-based compensation that have been
issued to employees under the Stock Option Plans and the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. 1st Source will continue to apply APB No. 25 in accounting for
these plans. The Special Long-Term Incentive Award Plan, the Restricted Stock
Award Plan and the Executive Incentive Award Plan are already being accounted
for as compensatory plans in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was
$1.83 million, $1.52 million, and $1.93 million for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. An income tax benefit of $1.8 million
arising from the exercise of stock options was recorded in shareholders'
equity during 1997.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
1st Source's incentive stock option plans include the 1992 Stock Option Plan
(the "1992 Plan") and a certain other stock option agreement which became
effective January 1, 1992. As of December 31, 1997, an aggregate of 1,940,823
shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the above plans. Under
the 1992 Plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of
1st Source stock on the date of grant and an option's term is 10 years.
Options under the 1992 Plan generally vest in one to five years from date of
grant. Options are granted on a discretionary basis by the Executive
Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the 1st Source Board of
Directors.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1997: dividend yield of 1.36%; expected
volatility of 24.73%; risk-free interest rate of 6.83%; and expected life of
7.36 years.
The following is a summary of the activity with respect to 1st Source's

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
1st Source also has an employee stock purchase plan for substantially all
employees with at least two years of service on the effective date of an
offering under the plan. Eligible employees may elect to purchase any dollar
amount of stock so long as such amount does not exceed 25% of their base rate
of pay and the aggregate stock accrual rate for all offerings does not exceed
$25,000 in any calendar year. Payment for the stock is made through payroll
deductions over the offering period, and employees may discontinue the
deductions at any time and exercise the option to take the funds out of the
program. The most recent offering began June 1, 1997, and runs through May
31, 1999, with $509,667 in stock value to be purchased at $22.36 per share.
The fair value of the employees' purchase rights for the 1997 offerings was
estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:
dividend yield of 1.28%; expected volatility of 17.52%; risk-free interest
rate of 6.22%; and, expected life of two years.

NOTE J -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
1st Source maintains a defined contribution money purchase pension plan
covering the majority of its employees. Contributions to the plan are based
on 2% of participants' eligible compensation. For the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, total pension expense for this plan amounted to
$433,000, $422,000, and $359,000, respectively.
1st Source also maintains a defined contribution profit sharing and savings
plan covering the majority of its employees. The plan allows eligible
employees to make contributions by salary reduction pursuant to Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. 1st Source is required under the plan to
match 100% of participant contributions up to 4% of compensation and one-half
of any additional participant contributions up to 6% of compensation provided
that 1st Source is profitable for the respective plan year. 1st Source may
also make discretionary contributions to the plan, depending on its
profitability. Contribution expense for this plan for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, amounted to $1.29 million, $1.21 million,
and $1.07 million, respectively.
Trustcorp Mortgage Company contributes to a defined contribution plan for
all of its employees who meet the general eligibility requirements of the plan.
The contributions, which in part are based on amounts of compensation
deferred by the participants in the plan, were $54,000 in 1997, $40,000 in
1996, and $37,000 in 1995. In addition, Trustcorp Mortgage Company made
discretionary contributions of $103,000 in 1997, $100,000 in 1996, and
$80,000 in 1995.
In addition to the pension and profit sharing plans, 1st Source provides
certain health care and life insurance benefits for substantially all of
their retired employees. All of 1st Source's full-time employees become
eligible for these retiree benefits upon reaching age 55 with 20 years of
credited service. Generally, the medical plan pays a stated percentage of
eligible medical expenses reduced for any deductibles and payments made by
government programs and other group coverage. The lifetime maximum benefit
payable under the medical plan is $15,000 and $3,000 for life insurance.
The following table sets forth 1st Source's accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation, which is unfunded, reconciled to the accrued

===============================================================================
</TABLE>
For measuring the expected postretirement benefit obligation, a 7.8%
annual rate of increase for participants under age 65 and a 7.2% annual rate of
increase for participants under age 65 and a 7.2% annual rate of increase for
participants over age 65 in the per capita claims cost was assumed for 1997
(8.4% and 7.4%, respectively, were assumed for 1996). This rate was assumed
to decrease each year to 5.6% for both participants under age 65 and
participants over age 65 in 2021 and remain at that level thereafter. The
weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.9% and 7.5% at December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
If the health care cost trend rate were increased 1.9%, the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1997, would have
increased by 5.8%. The effect of this change on the aggregate of service and
interest cost for 1997 would be an increase of 6.3%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued
1st Source Corporation and Subsidiaries
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE M -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
1st Source and its subsidiaries are parties to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of its customers. These off-balance-sheet financial instruments include
commitments to originate, purchase and sell loans, standby letters of credit
and interest rate swaps. The instruments involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized
in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
1st Source's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby
letters of credit is represented by the dollar amount of those instruments.
1st Source uses the same credit policies and collateral requirements in
making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.
Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Trustcorp Mortgage Company grants mortgage loan commitments to borrowers,
subject to normal loan underwriting standards. The interest rate risk
associated with these loan commitments is managed by entering into contracts
for future deliveries of loans.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by 1st Source to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk
involved and collateral obtained in issuing letters of credit is essentially
the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.
As of December 1997 and 1996, 1st Source and its subsidiaries had
commitments outstanding to originate and purchase loans aggregating $410 million
and $276 million, respectively. Outstanding commitments to sell loans aggregated
$120 million at December 31, 1997 and $71 million at December 31, 1996.
Commercial and standby letters of credit totaled $57 million and $51 million at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
1st Source Bank participates in interest rate swap agreements as part of its
program to manage the impact of fluctuating interest rates, namely with
respect to floating rate loans.
Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating
rate interest payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.
Notional amounts represent agreed upon amounts on which calculations of
interest payments to be exchanged are based. Notional amounts do not
represent direct credit exposures. The actual market or credit exposure of
this type of financial instrument is significantly less than the notional
amount. 1st Source's direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference
between the calculated "to be paid" and "to be received" amounts on each
transaction, which is generally netted and paid or received monthly, and the
inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. This risk is
normally a small percentage of the notional amount and fluctuates as interest
rates move up and down. Market risk to 1st Source is more directly measured
by the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements.
At December 31, 1997, 1st Source had two outstanding amortizing interest
rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $51.6 million. The
agreements have maturities of January 25, 2002, and March 25, 2001. The
notional amounts and lives of amortizing swaps change based on certain
interest rate indices. Generally, as rates fall, the notional amounts of
amortizing swaps decline more rapidly and as rates increase notional amounts
decline more slowly. Unrealized losses based on fair value approximated
$137,000 at December 31, 1997, and $750,000 at December 31, 1996.

NOTE N -- CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Most of 1st Source's commercial, real estate and installment loan activity
is with customers located in north-central Indiana and southwest lower Michigan.
1st Source's transportation and equipment loan activity is with customers
located throughout the United States. Included in loans as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, are business loans to companies in the following industries:

Van conversion, manufactured housing
and recreational vehicle industries 52,870 40,634 3.7 3.7
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
Generally, these loans are collateralized by assets of the borrower. The
loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of
selected assets of the borrower. 1st Source requires collateral on
substantially all borrowings in these categories, which is typically the item
being financed.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE O -- CAPITAL ADEQUACY
1st Source is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional
discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on 1st Source's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, 1st
Source must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of 1st Source's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. 1st Source's
capital amounts and classification are subject to qualitative judgments by
the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require 1st Source to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier
I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 1997,
that 1st Source meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.
As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago categorized 1st Source Bank, the largest of 1st
Source's subsidiaries, as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized" 1st
Source must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I
leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events
since that notification that management believes changed the institution's
category.
1st Source and its largest subsidiary, 1st Source Bank's actual capital
amounts and ratios are presented in the table below:

NOTE P -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
1st Source and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal proceedings
arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based
on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings
will not have a material effect on 1st Source's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
The consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and
contingent liabilities, such as guarantees and liability for assets held in
trust, which arise in the normal course of business.

Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
1st Source Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of 1st Source Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of 1st Source
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
