         Paying Agent) for the Holders of such Securities; provided that, if
         such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been
         duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor
         satisfactory to the Trustee has been made; and

                  (3) Securities which have been replaced or paid pursuant to

         have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, other

         presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such Securities
         are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Securities are
         valid obligations of the Company;

principal amount of the Outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned
by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the
Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected
in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or waiver, only Securities which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall
be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may
be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the

the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any
Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by one or more agents duly appointed
in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders 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
Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

                  (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

<PAGE>
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 the Trustee deems sufficient.

                  (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the
Security Register.

                  (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon
the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor in lieu thereof in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the
Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon
such Security.

                  (e) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act, set any day as the record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of
Securities. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed
agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take the relevant
action, whether or not such Persons remain Holders after such record date.

                  Section 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made
upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

                  (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
         filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
         Attention: Corporate Trust Department, or

                  (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
         expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to the Company, addressed to it at the address of its
         principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or
         at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by
         the Company.

                  Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid,

                                       10
<PAGE>
to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the
Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than
the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any
case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall
affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be
a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.

                  In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or
by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee
shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

                  Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this
Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this
Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may
be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to
this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

                  Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

                  Section 109. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its respective successors
and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

                  Section 110. Separability Clause. In case any provision in
this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                  Section 111. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture
or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than
the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities,
any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture.

                  Section 112. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

                  Section 113. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date, Maturity Date or Stated Maturity of any Security
shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal (and premium if
any) need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment
Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, except that,
if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or
Redemption date, or at the Stated Maturity; provided that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date, Maturity Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, if such payment is
made or duly provided for on the next succeeding Business Day.

                  Section 114. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and
Directors of the Company Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture or any indenture
supplemental hereto or of any Security, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, as such,
stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of
any successor Person, either directly or through the Company or any successor
Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly
understood that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely
corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach
to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, as such, stockholders,
officers or directors, of the Company or of any successor Person, or any of
them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or
by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all
such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in
equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims
against, every such incorporator, as such, stockholder, officer or director,
because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by
reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture
or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom are hereby expressly waived and
released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this
Indenture and the issue of such Securities.

                  Section 203. Form of Reverse of Security. This Security is one
of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its ___%
Senior Notes

                                       14
<PAGE>
Due 20__ (herein called the "Securities"), initially limited in aggregate
principal amount to $180,000,000 issued and to be issued under an Indenture,
dated as of _______ ___, 2003 (herein called the "Indenture"), between the
Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. The aggregate principal amount of the Securities
may be increased in the future, without the consent of the Holders of the
Securities, on the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Securities.

                  The Securities shall be redeemable, in whole or from time to
time in part, at the option of the Company on any date (a "Redemption Date"), at
a price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the
principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
(exclusive of interest accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such
Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in either
case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such
Redemption Date.

                  "Treasury Rate" means the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third
Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

                  "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury
security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity
comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.

                  "Independent Investment Banker" means Credit Suisse First
Boston LLC and any successor firm or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to
select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking
institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation
with the Company.

                  "Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any
Redemption Date for the Securities (i) the average of the Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains
fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all
such quotations.

                  "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Credit Suisse First
Boston LLC and any two of the following as determined by the Company: Merrill
Lynch, Pierce,

                                       15
<PAGE>
Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Banc of America Securities LLC and Bear, Sterns &
Co. Inc. (each, a "Primary Treasury Dealer"); provided that (i) if any of the
foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will
substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (ii) if the Company
fails to select a substitute within a reasonable period of time, then the
substitute will be any other primary treasury dealer selected by the Trustee
after consultation with the Company.

                  "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to
each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as
determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

                  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price
with respect to the foregoing redemption promptly after the calculation thereof.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating said Redemption Price.

                  If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee may
select for redemption Securities and portions of Securities in amounts of whole
multiples of $1,000.

                  In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a
new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in
the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

                  The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time
of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Security or (ii) certain restrictive
covenants and Events of Default with respect to the Security, in each case upon
compliance with certain conditions set forth therein.

                  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of all the Securities may become due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture.

                  The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under
the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued
upon the registration of

                                       16
<PAGE>
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

                  No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on this Security in the manner, at the times,
place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

                  [If a Definitive Security, insert -- As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of
this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York or at any other office or agency
maintained by the Company in the United States for such purpose, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.]

                  [If a Global Security, insert -- This Global Security or
portion hereof may not be exchanged for Definitive Securities except in the
limited circumstances provided in the Indenture.]

                  The Securities are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities
of a different authorized denomination, as requested by a Holder surrendering
the same.

                  No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.

                  Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this security is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not any amount due in respect of this
Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in
respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto
or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, stockholder, officer or
director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor Person,
either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any

                                       17
<PAGE>
constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the issue hereof, expressly
waived and released.

                  The Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as applied to
contracts made and performed within the State of New York, without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws.

                  All terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The
foregoing summary of the terms of the Indenture is qualified in all respects by
the terms of the Indenture.

                  Section 204. Global Securities. Every Global Security
authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:

                  "THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
                  INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE
                  NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY
                  NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO, OR REGISTERED OR EXCHANGED FOR
                  SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF, ANY PERSON OTHER THAN
                  THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY
                  BE REGISTERED, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED
                  IN THE INDENTURE. EVERY SECURITY AUTHENTICATED AND DELIVERED
                  UPON REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN
                  LIEU OF, THIS SECURITY SHALL BE A GLOBAL SECURITY SUBJECT TO
                  THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES. "

                  If Securities are issuable in whole or in part in the form of
one or more Global Securities, as specified and as contemplated by Section 301,
then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 302 of the Indenture, any Global
Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities as shall be
specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount
of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced or increased, as the case may be, to reflect exchanges. Any
endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any reduction or
increase in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be
made in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as
shall be specified therein or in a Company Order. Subject to the provisions of
Sections 303, 304 and 305 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver any Global Security in the manner and upon instructions given by the
Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. Any
instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or
redelivery of a Global Security shall be in a Company Order (which need not
comply with Section 102 of the Indenture and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel).

                                   ARTICLE III
                                 THE SECURITIES

            Section 301. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of
Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is
initially limited to $180,000,000 except for Securities authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1108; provided
however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased
in the future, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, on the same
terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Securities.

            The Securities shall be known and designated as the "___% Senior
Notes Due 2013" of the Company. Their Stated Maturity shall be _______ __, 2013,
and they shall bear interest at the rate per annum of __% from _________, 2003
or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, as the case may be, payable semiannually in arrears on
_____________ and ____________ commencing _____________, 2003, until the
principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.

            Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on,
and the Redemption Price with respect to, the Securities (other than Global
Securities) will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York and at any other
office or agency maintained by the Company in the United States for such
purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided,
however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register.

            Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and any interest
on, and the Redemption Price with respect to, any Global Security will be made
by transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the
Holder in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

            The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article XI.

            The Securities shall be subject to Defeasance and Covenant
Defeasance as provided in Article XII.

            The initial Depositary for the Securities is The Depository Trust

<PAGE>
            Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. (a) The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive
Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or one of its Vice Presidents. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

            Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

            At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery
of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to
the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance
with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in
this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

            Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if all
Securities are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Company Order otherwise required pursuant to such
preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each such
Security if the Company Order is delivered at or prior to the authentication
upon original issuance of the first Security to be issued.

            Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

            No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

            Minor typographical and other minor errors in the text of any
Security shall not affect the validity and enforceability of such Security if it
has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

            (b) The Company shall initially execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent
an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the initially
issued Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the
nominee of the Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the
Depositary or pursuant to the


                                       21
<PAGE>
Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially in the form
required in Section 204.

            (c) The Depositary must, at all times while it serves as such
Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and any
other applicable statute or regulation.

            Section 304. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of
Definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Securities
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
Definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.

            If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause
Definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of Definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be
exchangeable for Definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary
Securities at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section
1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so
exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Securities.

            Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange(a)
.. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfer of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed the initial "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. The Company may at
any time replace such Security Registrar, change such office or agency or act as
its own Security Registrar. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any change of the Security Registrar or of the location of such
office or agency.

            Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an
office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002 for such
purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount.


                                       22
<PAGE>
            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities
represented thereby, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the
Securities may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a
nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary
or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary or nominee of such successor Depositary.

            At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other
Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

            (b) If at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary
shall no longer be eligible under Section 303(c), the Company shall appoint a
successor Depositary. If a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Definitive
Securities in exchange for the Global Security or Securities, will authenticate
and make available for delivery, individual Definitive Securities in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
or Securities, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

            The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
that individual Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities
shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such
event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order
for the authentication and delivery of individual Definitive Securities in
exchange for the Global Security or Securities, will authenticate and make
available for delivery, individual Definitive Securities in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or
Securities, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

            The Depositary may surrender a Global Security in exchange in whole
or in part for individual Definitive Securities on such terms as are acceptable
to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, without service
charge,

            (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new individual
      Definitive Security or Securities of any authorized denomination as
      requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
      exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

            (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination
      equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
      surrendered Global


                                       23
<PAGE>
      Security and the aggregate principal amount of individual Definitive
      Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

            Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Definitive
Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
such Global Security, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.
Individual Definitive Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall make available for delivery such
individual Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities
are so registered.

            (c) All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing
the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

            Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed,
by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

            No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1108 not involving any transfer.

            The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities selected for redemption under Section 1104 and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemable portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

            Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange
therefor a new Security, of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

            If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required
by them to save each of them and


                                       24
<PAGE>
any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

            In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

            Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, 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.

            Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

            The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

            Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

            Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
"Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the
relevant Regular Record Date notwithstanding the fact that such Holder was a
Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by
the Company, at its election, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

            (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
      to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective
      Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
      Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
      shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
      Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
      on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same
      time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal
      to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in


                                       25
<PAGE>
      respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably
      satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
      proposed payment. Such money when deposited shall be held in trust for the
      benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in
      this Clause. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the
      payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days
      and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and
      not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of
      the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of
      such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
      Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
      Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class
      postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the
      Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
      Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
      Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted
      Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or
      their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
      business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
      pursuant to the following Clause (2).

            (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any
      other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
      securities exchange on which the Securities may then be listed, and upon
      such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by
      the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
      Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed reasonably practicable by
      the Trustee.

            Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305,
each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or
in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security.

            Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any
payment due in respect of such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

            Section 309. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to
the Trustee (or any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation
any Securities previously authenticated


                                       26
<PAGE>
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled
Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company
Order, or, if no such Company Order is given within 60 days after notice by the
Trustee to the Company of cancellation of such Securities, then the Trustee may
destroy such cancelled Security and, in such case, the Trustee shall thereafter
deliver to the Company a certificate with respect to such destruction.

            Section 310. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Securities
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

            Section 311. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities
may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee
shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such "CUSIP" numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such "CUSIP"
numbers.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

            Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture
shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided
for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, when

            (1) either

                  (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
            (other than (i) Securities which have been mutilated, destroyed,
            lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
            Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has
            theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust
            by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged
            from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to
            the Trustee for cancellation; or

                  (B) all such securities not theretofore delivered to the
            Trustee for cancellation

                        (i) have become due and payable, or


                                       27
<PAGE>
                        (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated
                  Maturity within one year, or

                        (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year
                  under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving
                  of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
                  expense, of the Company,

            and the Company, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
            deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
            in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge
            the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered
            to the Trustee for cancellation for principal (and premium, if any)
            and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities
            which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or
            Redemption Date, as the case may be;

            (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
      hereunder by the Company; and

            (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
      Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
      precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge
      of this Indenture have been complied with.

            Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
the obligations of the Company in Sections 305, 306, 607, 1001, 1002 and 1003
shall survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding.

            Section 402. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions
of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment to the
Persons entitled thereto, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including
the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, of the
principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has
been deposited with the Trustee.

                           EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

            Section 501. Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used
herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order or any court or

<PAGE>
            (1) default by the Company in the payment of any interest upon any
      Security when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default
      for a period of 30 days; or

            (3) default by the Company in the performance, or breach, of any
      covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a
      covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is
      elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of
      such default or breach for a period of 30 days after there has been given,
      by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the

      of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, in excess of $10

      shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
      a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the
      appointment of a receiver or rehabilitator or custodian or sequestrator or

      Company or any Significant Subsidiary or of their respective property or
      other similar official, or for the winding up or liquidation of their
      respective affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order
      shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60
      days; or

            (6) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall institute

<PAGE>
      Subsidiary or of their respective property or other similar official, or
      shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in
      writing its inability to pay their respective debts generally as they
      become due; or

            (7) the entry against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of
      one or more judgments, decrees or orders by a court having jurisdiction in
      the premises from which no appeal may be or is taken for the payment of
      money, either individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $10 million
      and the continuance of such judgment, decree or order unsatisfied and in

      and there has been given, by registered or certified mail in the manner
      set forth in Section 105, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
      and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
      the Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such entry and
      continuance of such judgment, decree or order and stating that such notice
      is a "Notice of Default" hereunder.

            Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity Date; Rescission and
Annulment. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 501(5) or 501(6)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case
the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of all the Securities to be due
and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon receipt by the Company (and the Trustee if given by
Holders) of any such written notice, such principal shall become immediately due
and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6)
occurs, all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Outstanding Securities
shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

            At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if:

            (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
      sufficient to pay

                  (A) all overdue interest on all Securities,

                  (B) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities
            which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
            acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the
            Securities,

                  (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
            interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities,
            and


                                       30
<PAGE>
                  (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
            reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
            Trustee, its agents and counsel, and

            (2) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
      principal of Securities which have become due solely by such declaration
      of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

            No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

            Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. The Company covenants that if

            (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security
      when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for
      a period of 30 days, or

            (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of or premium,
      if any, on any Security at the Maturity Date thereof, including the
      payment of the Redemption Price on any Redemption Date,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any Defaulted Interest, at the
rate borne by the Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

            If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever
situated.

            If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in
its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most
effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

            Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities,


                                       31
<PAGE>
their property or their creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions
authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders
and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall
be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, rehabilitator, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial or regulatory proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event
that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

            Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, rehabilitation, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors'
or other similar committee.

            Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such 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 the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

            Section 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by
the Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall be applied in the following order,
at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of
such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon
presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

            FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section
607;

            SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in respect of
which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest,
respectively; and

            THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.


                                       32
<PAGE>
            Section 507. Limitation on Suits. Except as provided in Section 508,
no Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of
a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

            (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee
      of a continuing Event of Default;

            (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
      Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to
      institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Defaults in its own name
      as Trustee hereunder;

            (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable
      indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
      compliance with such request;

            (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
      request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
      proceeding; and

            (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
      given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
      majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

            Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal,
Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
(subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated
Maturities of such payments as expressed in such Security (and in the case of
redemption, the Redemption Price on the applicable Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

            Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or
any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then
and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

            Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

            Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

            Section 512. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities 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 that

            (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
      with this Indenture, and

            (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
      Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

            Section 513. Waiver of Past Default. The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and its
consequences, except a default

            (1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or
      interest on any Security as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section
      501 or

            (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
      IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
      Outstanding Security affected.

            Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

            Section 514. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action


                                       34
<PAGE>
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party
litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the
extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section
nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require
such undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the
Company.

            Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   THE TRUSTEE

            Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The duties and
responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it 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.

            Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section.

            Section 602. Notice of Defaults. If a default occurs hereunder with
respect to the Securities, the Trustee shall give the Holders of the Securities
notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 501(3), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days
after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term
"default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default.

            Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of
Section 601:

            (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, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, other evidence of


                                       35
<PAGE>
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) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order,
and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
Board Resolution;

            (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee
shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence
be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
rely upon an Officer's Certificate;

            (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, suffered or omitted by it
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 or direction of
any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have
offered to the Trustee security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

            (f) 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, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but
the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not thereby be deemed to be required to act or be held to any
higher duty of care than existed prior to such inquiry; and

            (g) 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 misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder.

            Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company,
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the
proceeds thereof.

            Section 605. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating
Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the
Company, in


                                       36
<PAGE>
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

            Section 606. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust
hereunder 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 money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

            Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

            (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable
      compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree
      upon in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
      compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
      compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

            (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
      Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
      advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's
      performance of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and
      expenses and disbursements of its non-employee agents and counsel), except
      any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its
      negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and

            (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee for,
      and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim,
      liability or expense incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful
      misconduct on its part, 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 or liability in connection
      with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder,
      except those attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful
      misconduct. This obligation shall survive the maturity of the Securities.

            The Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities as to all
property and funds properly held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any
predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

            When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6), the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.


                                       37
<PAGE>
            The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Indenture.

            Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee
has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the 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 Indenture.

            Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at
all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall (i) be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, (ii) authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, and (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, 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. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI. The Trustee shall comply
with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

            Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor(a) .
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 611.

            (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

            (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the
Trustee and to the Company.

            (d) If at any time:

            (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written
      request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
      Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

            (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and
      shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
      any such Holder, or


                                       38
<PAGE>
            (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be judged
      a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property
      shall be appointed 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, (i) the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to
all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all other similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

            (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the
retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its
acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 611, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed
by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter
provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

            (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing
written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all
Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office.

            Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor
Trustee appointed hereunder 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 request of the Company or the successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges pursuant to Section
607, 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. Upon request of any such 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.


                                       39
<PAGE>
            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 VI.

            Section 612. 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 all or substantially all the corporate trust business
of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities 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 Securities so authenticated with the same effect
as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

            Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. If
and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company
(or any such other obligor).

            Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may
appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the Company which shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued
upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer, or partial
redemption or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities 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. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

            Each Authenticating Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent 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 an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.


                                       40
<PAGE>
            Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such Authenticating Agent,
shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee, the Company or such
Authenticating Agent.

            An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof
to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of
such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Securities, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

            The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent, as appointed
from time to time, such reasonable fees as may be agreed to in writing with the
Company, for services rendered under this Section 614.

            If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities
may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificates of
authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following
form:

            This is one of the Securities described in the within-mentioned
Indenture.

Date, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names
and addresses of the Holders as of such Regular Record Date, and

            (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,
within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of
similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such list is furnished;

excluding from any such list names and addresses received by the Trustee in its
capacity as Security Registrar or Paying Agent.

            Section 702. Preservation of Information; Communications to
Holders(a) . (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most
recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 701 and the names
and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security
Registrar or Paying Agent. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as
provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

            (b) The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with
respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the
corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the
Trust Indenture Act.

            (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee
nor any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders
in accordance with Section 702(b), regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 702(b).

            Section 703. Reports by Trustee. The Trustee shall transmit to
Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture
as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the
manner provided pursuant thereto.

            A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission

            (1) either the Company is the continuing corporation, or the
      successor corporation (if other than the Company) expressly assumes by
      supplemental indenture the obligations evidenced by the Securities (in
      which case, except in the case of such a lease, the Company will be
      discharged therefrom; provided that any successor corporation must be a
      corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
      America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia); and

successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is
merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to,
and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company
under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been
named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the
predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Securities.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

            Section 901. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.
Without the consent of any Holders, the Company and the Trustee, at any time and
from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

            (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and
      the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company
      herein and in the Securities in accordance with Article VIII; or

            (2) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
      Holders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
      Company; or

            (3) to secure the Securities; or

            (4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
      hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities; or

            (5) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision
      herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to
      make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
      under this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
      of this Indenture, provided such action pursuant to this clause (5) shall
      not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect.

            Section 902. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.
Subject to Section 508, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by Act of said
Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company and the Trustee
may enter into an indenture or


                                       44
<PAGE>
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture.
Notwithstanding any of the above, however, no such supplemental indenture shall,
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

            (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, any installment
      of interest on, or dates for redemption of any Security, or reduce the
      principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium
      payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in
      which any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or
      impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
      on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on
      or after the Redemption Date);

            (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
      Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such
      supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for
      any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
      certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this
      Indenture; or

            (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 513 or
      Section 1011, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
      certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived
      without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
      thereby.

            It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

            After a supplemental indenture under this Section becomes effective,
the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly
describing the supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the
validity of such supplemental indenture.

            Section 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted
by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Section
601, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel of the
Company stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

            Section 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution
of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall be
modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a
part of this Indenture


                                       45
<PAGE>
for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

            Section 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements
of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

            Section 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.
Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and shall if required by the Trustee,
bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in
such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities
so modified as to conform, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee and the
Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Company, and authenticated and made available for delivery by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                    COVENANTS

            Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and the Redemption Price
as and when due, in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this
Indenture.

            The Company shall pay interest on overdue amounts at the rate set
forth in paragraph 1 of the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue
interest at the same rate compounded semiannually (to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which interest on
overdue interest shall accrue from the date such amounts became overdue.

            Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will
maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York an office or agency
where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. Such office or agency will initially be the office of
the Trustee located at           . The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office
or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

            The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies (in or outside the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York)


                                       46
<PAGE>
where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in
the location of any such other office or agency.

            Section 1003. Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. If
the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any of the
Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest
so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

            Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will,
on or prior to each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or
interest on any Securities, deposit with the Paying Agent or Paying Agents a sum
sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due,
such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
principal, premium, if any, or interest, and, unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee, the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
so to act.

            The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that
such Paying Agent will:

            (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and
      premium, if any, or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the
      Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
      otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

            (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
      other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of
      principal and premium, if any, or interest; and

            (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
      written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
      held in trust by such Paying Agent.

            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
by Company Order 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 trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent;


                                       47
<PAGE>
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.

            Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then
held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if
any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after
such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall
be paid to the Company on Company Request, or, if then held by the Company,
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be disseminated once, in a press release through
Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News (or any successor or
similar organization), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after
a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Company.

            Section 1004. Statements of Officers of Company as to Default;
Notice of Default. (a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date
hereof, a certificate, signed by the principal executive officer, principal
financial officer, or principal accounting officer, stating whether or not to
the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default (without
regard to periods of grace or requirements of notice) in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof, and if the
Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and
status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

            (b) The Company shall file with the Trustee written notice of the
occurrence of any default or Event of Default within five Business Days of its
becoming aware of any such default or Event of Default.

            Section 1005. Existence. Subject to Article VIII, the Company will
do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force
and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises and
those of each of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be required to preserve any such right or franchise if its Board of Directors
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company or the business of any Subsidiary and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders.

            Section 1006. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all
properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any
Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order
and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all
necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof,
all as in the reasonable judgment of


                                       48
<PAGE>
the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such
discontinuance is, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, desirable in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

            Section 1007. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company shall
pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (including
withholding taxes and any penalties, interest and additions to taxes) levied or
imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or
property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all material lawful claims
for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien
upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability
or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which disputed amounts adequate reserves have been made.

            Section 1008. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the
Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and
perform such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out
more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

            Section 1009. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company will not, and
will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or Guaranty any
Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is secured by a pledge of, lien on, or
security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any Significant Subsidiary,
whether such Voting Stock is now owned or shall hereafter be acquired, without
providing that the Securities (together with, if the Company shall so determine,
any other Indebtedness or Obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary ranking
equally with such Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be
secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness. For the purposes of the
foregoing, pledging, placing a lien on or creating a security interest in any
shares of Voting Stock of a Significant Subsidiary in order to secure then
outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be
the incurrence, issuance, assumption or Guaranty (as the case may be) of such
Indebtedness.

            (b) The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) up to $250
million of Indebtedness incurred under revolving credit, term loan or other bank
facilities, including any refinancings, extensions, amendments or other
modification of such Indebtedness, (ii) Indebtedness secured by a pledge of,
lien on or security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation if
such pledge, lien or security interest is made or granted prior to or at the
time such corporation becomes a Significant Subsidiary, (iii) liens or security
interests securing Indebtedness of a Significant Subsidiary to the Company or
another Significant Subsidiary or (iv) the extension, renewal or replacement (or
successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any
lien or security interest referred to in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii)
but only if the principal


                                       49
<PAGE>
amount of Indebtedness secured by the liens or security interests immediately
prior to the extension, renewal or replacement is not increased and the lien or
security interest is not extended to other property.

            Section 1010. Limitations on Disposition of Stock of Significant
Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital Stock of any Significant
Subsidiary (or of any Subsidiary having direct or indirect control of any
Significant Subsidiary) except for, subject to the covenant relating to mergers
and sales of assets described in Section 801, (i) a sale, transfer or other
disposition of any Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary (or of any
Subsidiary having direct or indirect control of any Significant Subsidiary) to a
Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) a sale, transfer or other
disposition for at least fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors
acting in good faith) of any of the Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary
(or of any Subsidiary having direct or indirect control of any Significant
Subsidiary) held by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

            Section 1011. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in
any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set
forth in this Article X (other than Sections 1001 through 1004, inclusive), if
before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority (or such
greater amount as may be specified in any such term, provision or condition) in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect
such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

            Section 1101. Right of Redemption. The Securities may be redeemed,
in whole or from time to time in part, at the election of the Company on any
date, at the Redemption Price specified in the form of Security hereinbefore set
forth, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date.

            Section 1102. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Securities at
the election of the Company, as permitted by any provision of the Securities or
this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article
XI.

            Section 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of
the Company to redeem any Securities pursuant to Section 1101 shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company
of less than all the Securities, the Company shall, at least 30 days prior to
the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the


                                       50
<PAGE>
Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities to be
redeemed.

            Section 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. If
less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and
which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $1,000
or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of a
denomination larger than $1,000.

            The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and each Security
Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case
of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed.

            For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.

            Section 1105. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be
given in the manner provided by Section 106, mailed not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.

            All notices of redemption shall state:

            (1) the Redemption Date,

            (2) the formula or manner of calculation pursuant to which the
      Redemption Price will be determined,

            (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed,
      the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal
      amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed,

            (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
      and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest
      thereon will cease to accrue on and after that date,

            (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered
      for payment of the Redemption Price, and

            (6) the CUSIP number of the Securities to be redeemed.

            Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of
the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.


                                       51
<PAGE>
            Section 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed
on that date.

            Section 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such
Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the
Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and
the provisions of Section 307.

            If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the
Security.

            Section 1108. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to
be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the
Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the
Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument
of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new
Security or Securities of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered; except that
if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Depositary for
such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security in a
denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

            Section 1201. Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. The Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time,
elect to


                                       52

have either Section 1202 or Section 1203 applied to the Outstanding Securities
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article XII.

            Section 1202. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's exercise
of the option provided in Section 1201 applicable to this Section, the Company
shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the
Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by the Outstanding Securities and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of
Holders of Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 1204 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such
Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations with
respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 307, 308, 607, 1002 and
1003, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and (D) this Article XII.

            Subject to compliance with this Article XII, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 1202 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 1203.

            Section 1203. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise of
the option provided in Section 1201 applicable to this Section, (i) the Company
shall be released from its obligations under any covenant contained in Article
VIII and in Sections 1006 through 1010 and (ii) the occurrence of an event
specified in Section 501(4) (with respect to any of Article VIII and Sections
1006 through 1010) shall not constitute an Event of Default, and such Sections
and Article shall no longer apply with respect to or for the benefit of the
Company, the Securities and the Holders of Securities on and after the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance").
For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company may omit to
comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such Sections or Article whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Sections or
Article or by reason of any reference in any such Sections or Article to any
other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this
Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

            Section 1204. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The
following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1202 or
Section 1203 to the Outstanding Securities:

            (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
      deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
      of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this
      Article XII applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of
      making the following


                                       53
<PAGE>
      payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to,
      the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or
      (B) U. S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
      principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms
      will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment,
      money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the
      opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
      expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to
      pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee or other
      qualifying trustee to pay and discharge, the principal of and premium, if
      any, and each installment of interest on the Securities on the Stated
      Maturity of such principal or installment of interest in accordance with
      the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. For this purpose,
      "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (x) direct
      obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which its
      full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled
      or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United
      States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
      full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which,
      in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer
      thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank (as
      defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as
      custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a
      specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government
      Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such
      depository receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such
      custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable
      to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the
      custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific
      payment of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation
      evidenced by such depository receipt.

            (2) In the case of an election under Section 1202, the Company shall
      have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the
      Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
      Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has
      been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to
      the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the
      Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or
      loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit,
      Defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the
      same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
      the case if such Defeasance had not occurred.

            (3) In the case of an election under Section 1203, the Company shall
      have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
      Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize gain or loss for
      federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and
      will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
      manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
      and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred.


                                       54
<PAGE>
            (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
      Certificate to the effect that the Securities, if then listed on any
      securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit, in
      the case of an election under Section 1202 or 1203.

            (5) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time
      or both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
      continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(5) and
      (6) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 90th day
      after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition
      shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

            (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the
      Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 608 and for
      purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the
      Company.

            (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a
      breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement
      or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

            (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
      Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
      precedent provided for relating to either the Defeasance under Section
      1202 or the Covenant Defeasance under Section 1203 (as the case may be)
      have been complied with.

            (9) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the
      trust arising from such deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as,
      a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
      as amended.

            Section 1205. Deposited Money and U. S. Government Obligations to Be
Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U. S. Government Obligations
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee collectively, for purposes of this Section 1205, the "Trustee") pursuant
to Section 1204 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Securities, of
all sums due and to become due thereon, in respect of principal and premium, if
any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law.

            The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1204 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities.


                                       55
<PAGE>
            Anything in this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 1204 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount hereof which would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

            Section 1206. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is
unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 1202 or 1203 by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations
under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII until such time as
the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance
with Section 1202 or 1203; provided, however, that if the Company makes any
payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
