SECTION 105. ACTS OF HOLDERS; RECORD DATES.



     (a)  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver

or other 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 an agent duly appointed in writing.

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall



                                       11

<Page>



become effective when such instrument or instruments or record thereof or both

are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the

Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action

embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the

"Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any

such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing

appointing any such agent, or the holding of any Person of a Security, 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. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities

shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1406.



          The Company may set in advance a record date for purposes of

determining the identity of Holders of Securities entitled to vote or consent to

any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture. If a

record date is fixed, those Persons who were Holders of Outstanding Securities

at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons,

shall be entitled with respect to such Securities to take such action by vote or

consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such

Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. Promptly after any record

date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall

cause notice thereof to be given to the Trustee in writing in the manner

provided in Section 106 and to the relevant Holders as set forth in Section 107.



          (b)     The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such

instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such

execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by

law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing

such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such

execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual

capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof

of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or

writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved

in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.



          (c)     The principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by

any Person, and the date of holding the same, 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 or 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. Any Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the request,

demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or other Act as to his

Security or portion of his Security; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such revocation

shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before

the date the Act becomes effective.

SECTION 106. 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 Administration, 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, Attention: Corporate

     Secretary.



SECTION 107. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER OF NOTICE.



          Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of

any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein

expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to

each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears

in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than

the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.



          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 to

Holders of Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the

approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every

purpose hereunder. In any case in which notice to Holders of Securities is given

by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice

so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security, shall affect the sufficiency

of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities.



          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.



SECTION 108. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.



          If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any

provision of the Trust Indenture Act or another provision hereof which is

required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust

Indenture Act, such provision of the Trust Indenture Act or such other provision

hereof which is required to be included by any provision of the Trust Indenture

Act shall



                                       13

control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision

of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the former

provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be

excluded.



SECTION 109. 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 110. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.



          All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall

bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.



SECTION 111. 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 112. 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, any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Security

Custodian, the Holders and holders of any Senior Indebtedness, any benefit or

any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.



SECTION 113. GOVERNING LAW.



          This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed

in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but without giving effect

to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent the application of

the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.



SECTION 114. LEGAL HOLIDAYS.



          In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated

Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,

then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the

Securities) payment of principal and interest (and premium and Additional

Amounts, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may

be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the

same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption

Date, or at the Stated Maturity, PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue with

respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment

Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

SECTION 115. CORPORATE OBLIGATION.



          No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, against any

incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer, director or

employee of the Company or the Trustee or of any predecessor or successor of the

Company or the Trustee with respect to the Company's obligations on the

Securities or the obligations of the Company or the Trustee under this Indenture

                                   ARTICLE TWO



                                 SECURITY FORMS



SECTION 201. FORMS GENERALLY.



          The Securities of each series shall be in fully registered form and in

substantially such form or forms (including temporary or permanent global form)

as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more

indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions,

omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by

this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of

identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be

required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may,

consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities,

as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. If temporary Securities of

any series are issued in global form as permitted by Section 304, the form

thereof shall be established as provided in the preceding sentence. A copy of

the Board Resolution establishing the form or forms of Securities of any series

(or any such temporary global Security) shall be certified by the Secretary or

an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior

to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the

authentication and delivery of such Securities (or any such temporary global

Security).



          The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved

on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as

determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their

execution thereof.



SECTION 202. FORM OF TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION.



          The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in substantially

the following form:



                                       15

<Page>



          "This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein

referred to in the within- mentioned Indenture.



                                          [___________________________________],

                                                 AS TRUSTEE



                                             By

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

                                                  AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY".



SECTION 203. SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM.



          If Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as contemplated

by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (10) of Section 301 and the

provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the

Outstanding Securities of such series 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 to reflect

exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount,

or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented

thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given

by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Security or in a Company

Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304.

Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the

Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the

manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified in such

Security or in the applicable Company Order. With respect to the Securities of

any series that are represented by a Security in global form, the Company

authorizes the execution and delivery by the Trustee of a letter of

representations or other similar agreement or instrument in the form customarily

provided for by the Depositary appointed with respect to such global Security.

Any Security in global form may be deposited with the Depositary or its nominee,

or may remain in the custody of the Security Custodian therefor pursuant to a

FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee and

the Depositary. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or

simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to

endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in

writing but need not comply with Section 103 and need not be accompanied by an

Opinion of Counsel.



          Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall

have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Security issued in

global form held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Security Custodian as

its custodian, or under such global Security, and the Depositary may be treated

by the Company, the Security Custodian and any agent of the Company or the

Trustee as the absolute owner of such global Security for all purposes

whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a

Security of any series issued in global form may grant proxies and otherwise

authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold

interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder of such series

is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities of such series and

(ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Security Custodian or any

agent of the Company or the Security



                                       16

<Page>



Custodian, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other

authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the

Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing

the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Security.



          Notwithstanding Section 305, except as otherwise specified as

contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable

only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a

permanent global Security are entitled to exchange such interest for Securities

of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form

and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then without

unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which

such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee

definitive Securities of that series in an aggregate principal amount equal to

the principal amount of such permanent global Security, executed by the Company.

On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such

permanent global Security shall be surrendered from time to time in accordance

with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary (which instructions

shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 103 or be accompanied by an

Opinion of Counsel) by the Depositary or such other depositary as shall be

specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the

Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for

definitive Securities of the same series without charge and the Trustee shall

authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global

Security, a like aggregate principal amount of other definitive Securities of

the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of

such permanent global Security to be exchanged; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such

exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days

before any selection of Securities of that series is to be redeemed and ending

on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part,

such permanent global Security marked to evidence the partial exchange shall be

returned by the Trustee to the Depositary or such other depositary referred to

above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a

definitive Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global

Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange

occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such

office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special

Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the

related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted

Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date

or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security,

but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed for payment, as

the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion

of such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions

of this Indenture.



          Notwithstanding Section 305, except as otherwise specified as

contemplated by Section 301, transfers of a Security issued in global form shall

be limited to transfers of such global Security in whole, but not in part, to

the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of

beneficial owners in a Security issued in global form may be transferred in

accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Securities of any

series shall be transferred to all beneficial owners of a global Security of

such series in exchange for their beneficial interests in that global Security

if, and only if, either (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is

unwilling or



                                       17

<Page>



unable to continue as Depositary for the global Security of such series and a

successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such

notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to such series and is

continuing and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary

or the Trustee to issue Securities of such series in lieu of all or a portion of

that global Security (in which case the Company shall deliver Securities of such

series within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Company determines not to have

the Securities of such series represented by a global Security.



          In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial

interest in a global Security of any series to beneficial owners pursuant to

this Section 203, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records

the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the global Security of that

series in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in

the global Security of that series to be transferred, and the Company shall

execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication

and delivery of Securities of that series shall authenticate and deliver, one or

more Securities of the same series of like tenor and amount.



          In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interests in a

global Security of any series to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 203,

the global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for

cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate

and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange

for its beneficial interest in the global Security, an equal aggregate principal

amount of Securities of that series of authorized denominations.



          Neither the Company nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or

liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account

of, Securities of any series by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising

or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such Securities. Neither

the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by the related global

Security Holder or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each

such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,

instructions from such global Security Holder or the Depositary for all purposes

(including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective

principal amounts, of the Securities to be issued).



          The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any

Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the

Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form

together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 103 and

need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction

in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the

written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.



          Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 201 and 307, unless

otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of (and

premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any

Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons

specified therein.



                                       18

<Page>



          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided

in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the

Company or of the Trustee shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal

amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a global Security as shall be

specified in a written statement, if any, of the Holder of such global Security,

which is produced to the Security Registrar by such Holder.



          Global Securities may be issued in either temporary or permanent form.

Permanent global Securities will be issued in definitive form.

     Securities), warrants or any other securities or property of the Company or

     any other Person, at the option of the Company or the Holder or upon the

     occurrence of any condition or event, the terms and conditions for such

     conversion or exchange;



          (18)    any modifications to Article Thirteen or any other provisions

     regarding subordination with respect to the Securities of that series; and



          (19)    any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be

     inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture).



          All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical

except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant

to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set

forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate

referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.



          At the option of the Company, interest on the Securities of any series

that bears interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of any Holder

as such address shall appear in the Security Register.



          If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken

pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action

together with such Board Resolution shall be certified by the Secretary or an

Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to

the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.



                                       21

<Page>



          The Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior

Indebtedness as provided in Article Thirteen.



SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS.



          The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations

as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such

provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such

series denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and

any integral multiple thereof. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by

Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any Securities of a series

denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be issuable in denominations

that are the equivalent, as determined by the Company by reference to the noon

buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency, as

such rate is reported or otherwise made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of

New York, on the applicable issue date for such Securities, of $1,000 and any

integral multiple thereof.



SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION DELIVERY AND DATING.



          The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its

Chairman of the Board, its President, its Treasurer or one of its Vice

Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon or affixed thereto

attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. 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 of any series 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 the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as

provided in this Indenture and not otherwise.



          If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been

established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or any other method

permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and

accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to

such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to

Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel

stating,



          (a)     if the form of such Securities has been established by or

     pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form

     has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;



                                       22

<Page>



          (b)     if the terms of such Securities have been established by or

     pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms

     have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     and



          (c)     that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the

     Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any

     conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal,

     valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance

     with their terms, except as such enforcement is subject to the effect of

     (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other

     laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights and (ii) general principles

     of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a

     proceeding in equity or at law).



If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be

required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities

pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or

immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner

which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.



          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. 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 together

with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 103 and need not be

accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been

issued and sold by the Company, 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.



SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.



          Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the

Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and

deliver, 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, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,

substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such

Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.



          Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall

be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if

temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive

Securities of that series to be prepared without



                                       23

<Page>



unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such

series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for

definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities

of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for

that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of

any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute

and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like

principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized

denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall

in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as

definitive Securities of such series.



          All Outstanding temporary Securities of any series shall in all

respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive

Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered

hereunder.



SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.



          The Company shall cause to be kept for each series of Securities at

one of the offices or agencies maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register

(the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the

Company in a Place of Payment 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 transfers of Securities of such series. The Trustee is hereby initially

appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and

transfers of Securities as herein provided.



          Except as set forth in Section 203 or as may be provided pursuant to

Section 301, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any

series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the

Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the

name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of

the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like

aggregate principal amount.



          At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged

for other Securities of the same series and of like tenor, 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 deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is

entitled to receive.



          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.



                                       24

<Page>



          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

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 exchange

pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.



          The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer

of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening

of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of

Securities of such series selected for redemption and ending at the close of

business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii)

to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption

in whole or in part, except the unredeemed 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 deliver in exchange

therefor a new Security of the same series and 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 satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security

and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of

them and 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 deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen

Security, a new Security of the same series and 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 any fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.



                                       25

<Page>



          Every new Security of any series 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 of that series 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. Unless

otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of

interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed or delivered

to the address of any Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in

the Security Register.



          Any interest on any Security of any series 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 by virtue of having been such Holder, and

such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each

case, 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 of such series (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 of such series 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

     respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory

     to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment,

     such money when deposited to 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 of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the

     Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.

     The Trustee may, in its discretion,



                                       26

<Page>



     in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be

     published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper, but such publication

     shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of 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 of such

     series (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 on the

     Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with

     the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may 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 practicable by the

     Trustee.



          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security

delivered under this Indenture, upon registration of transfer of, 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 such Security be overdue, and neither

the Company, the Trustee nor 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 or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if

surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee.

All Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. 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 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, and the

Trustee shall maintain a record of their disposal; PROVIDED that the Trustee

shall not be required to destroy such Securities in contravention of record

retention requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.



                                       27

<Page>



          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for

Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be

computed on the basis of a 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 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 numbers.

                     SATISFACTION, DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE



SECTION 401. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.



          This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further

effect with respect to Securities of a series, and the Trustee, at the expense

of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and

discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series, when



          (1)     either



                  (A)   all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated

          and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been 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)   with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such

          series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, the

          Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as

          trust funds, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form

          and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, money or U.S. Government

          Obligations maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and

          at such times as will (together with the income to accrue thereon and

          without consideration of any reinvestment thereof) be sufficient to

          pay and discharge (with such delivery in trust to be for the stated

          purpose of paying and discharging) the entire indebtedness on all

          Outstanding Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the

          Trustee for cancellation for principal (and premium and Additional



                                       28

<Page>



          Amounts, if any) and interest to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption

          Date contemplated by the penultimate paragraph of this Section, as the

          case may be; or



                  (C)   the Company has properly fulfilled such other means of

          satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as contemplated by Section

          301, to be applicable to the Securities of such series;



          (2)     the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums

     payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities

     of such series;



          (3)     the Company has complied with any other conditions specified

     pursuant to Section 301 to be applicable to the discharge of Securities of

     such series pursuant to this Section 401;



          (4)     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 with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series

     have been complied with;



          (5)     if the conditions set forth in Section 401(1)(A) have not been

     satisfied, and unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the

     Securities of such series, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an

     Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Securities of such

     series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal

     income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, satisfaction and discharge

     and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount

     and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if

     such deposit, satisfaction and discharge had not occurred; and



          (6)     no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities

     of such issue shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such

     deposit or, insofar as clauses (5) or (6) of Section 501 are concerned, at

     any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such

     deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed

     satisfied until the expiration of such period).



          For the purposes of this Indenture, "U.S. Government Obligations"

means direct non-callable obligations of, or non-callable obligations the

payment of principal of and interest on which is guaranteed by, the United

States of America, or to the payment of which obligations or guarantees the full

faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged, or beneficial

obligations or a combination thereof.



          If any Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior

to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions

or in accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the trust

agreement referred to in subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section shall

provide therefor and the Company shall make such arrangements as are



                                       29

<Page>



satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the

Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.



          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with

respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series pursuant to this Section

401, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the

obligations to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, except for a

discharge pursuant to subclause (A) of clause (1) of this Section, the

obligations of the Company under Sections 305, 306, 404, 610(e), 701, 1001 and

1002 and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph

of Section 1003 shall survive.



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, either directly or through any Paying Agent

(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may

determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if

any) and interest and Additional Amounts for the payment of which such money has

been deposited with the Trustee.



SECTION 403. DISCHARGE OF LIABILITY ON SECURITIES OF ANY SERIES.



          If this Section is specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be

applicable to Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid

and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Outstanding Securities of such

series, the obligation of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities of

such series to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and

any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series, shall cease,

terminate and be completely discharged and the Trustee, at the expense of the

Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction and

discharge, when



          (1)     the Company has complied with the provisions of Section 401

     (other than any additional conditions specified pursuant to Sections 301

     and 401(3) and except that the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section

     401(5) shall state that it is based on a ruling by the Internal Revenue

     Service or other change since the date hereof under applicable Federal

     income tax law) with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series;



          (2)     the Company has delivered to the Trustee a Company Request

     requesting such satisfaction and discharge;



          (3)     the Company has complied with any other conditions specified

                                       30

<Page>



          (4)     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 discharge of the indebtedness

     on the Outstanding Securities of such series have been complied with.



          Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section with

respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any series, the terms and

conditions of such series, including the terms and conditions with respect

thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon, or

applicable to, the Company; PROVIDED that, the Company shall not be discharged

from any payment obligations in respect of Securities of such series which are

deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if

such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the Company under

applicable law or pursuant to Section 305 or 306.



SECTION 404. APPLICABILITY OF DEFEASANCE PROVISIONS; COMPANY'S OPTION TO EFFECT

DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.



          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the

Securities of any series, the provisions of Sections 404 through 410 inclusive,

with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with

respect to any series of Securities, shall be applicable to the Securities.



SECTION 405. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.



          On and after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 407

are satisfied with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company shall be

deemed to have paid and been discharged from its obligations with respect to

such Securities (hereinafter "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance

means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire

indebtedness represented by such Securities which shall thereafter be deemed to

be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 408 and the other Sections of

this Indenture referred to in clause (ii) of this Section, and to have satisfied

all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as

such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, upon payment of all amounts due

it under Section 607, at the expense of the Company, shall on a Company Order

execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except the following which

shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights

of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust funds described

in Section 407(a) and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in

respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such

Securities when such payments are due; (ii) the Company's obligations with

respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 309, 1002 and 1003 and with

respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, payable with respect to

such Securities as specified pursuant to clause (13) of Section 301; (iii) the

Company's obligations with respect to a conversion or exchange of such

Securities; (iv) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the

Trustee hereunder; and (v) this Article Four. Subject to compliance with this

Article Four, the Company may defease the Securities of any series under this

Section 405 notwithstanding a prior covenant defeasance (as defined herein)

under Section 406



                                       31

<Page>



with respect to such Securities. Following a defeasance, payment of such

Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.



SECTION 406. COVENANT DEFEASANCE.



          On and after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 407

(other than Section 407(c)) are satisfied with respect to the Securities of or

within any series, (i) the Company shall be released from its obligations under

Sections 801 and 1004 and, if specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations

under any other covenant, with respect to such Securities and (ii) the

occurrence of any event specified in clauses (4) and (7) of Section 501 (with

respect to any of the obligations described in clause (i) above) shall be deemed

not to be or result in an Event of Default (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"),

and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the

purposes of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver,

consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof)

in connection with Section 801 or Section 1004, such other covenant specified

pursuant to Section 301, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all

other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that,

with respect to such Securities, 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 Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by

reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other

covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to

any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply

shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under clauses (4) and (7)

of Section 501 or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above

the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any interest coupons

appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.



SECTION 407. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.



          The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 405 or

Section 406 to any Securities of any series:

paragraph of Section 1003 applicable to the Trustee, for purposes of such

Sections also a "Trustee") as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the

pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of Holders of such

Securities, with written instructions to the Trustee as to the application

ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit;



          (c)     in the case of an election under Section 405, the Company

execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S.

Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon

such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities and any interest

coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S.

Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject

to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the

discharge had not occurred;



          (d)     in the case of an election under Section 406, the Company

at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant

defeasance had not occurred;



          (e)     the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'

Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions

precedent to the defeasance under Section 405 or the covenant defeasance under

          (f)     such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in

compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations

principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt shall have

occurred and be continuing or (ii) no other Event of Default with respect to any

Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in

such Senior Debt becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on

which it would otherwise have become due and payable, or, in the case of either

clause (i) or clause



                                       33

<Page>



(ii) above, each such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or

waived or shall have ceased to exist.



SECTION 408. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.



          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all

money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant

to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee

pursuant to Section 407 in respect of any Securities of any series shall be held

in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such

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 Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to

become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if

any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except as provided

herein and except to the extent required by law.



SECTION 409. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.



          The Trustee (and any Paying Agent) shall promptly pay to the Company

upon Company Request any excess money or U.S. Government Obligations (or

proceeds therefrom), or any other securities held by them at any time.



          The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall apply to

any money or securities held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this

Article Four that remain unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any

series of Securities for which money or securities have been deposited pursuant

to Section 407(a).



SECTION 410. INDEMNITY FOR GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS.



          The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee against, any

tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against Government Obligations

deposited pursuant to this Article or the principal and interest and any other

amount received on such Government Obligations.



SECTION 411. REINSTATEMENT.



          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.

Government Obligations deposited with respect to Securities of any series in

accordance with Section 401 by reason of any legal proceeding or 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 with respect to the Securities of such series and the

Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit

had occurred pursuant to Section 401 or Section 407 until such time as the

Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government

Obligations in accordance with Section 401 or Section 407; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,

that if the Company has made any payment of principal of (or premium, if any),

or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because

of the reinstatement of its obligations,



                                       34

<Page>



the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities

to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by

the Trustee or Paying Agent.



                                  ARTICLE FIVE



                                    REMEDIES



SECTION 501. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.



          "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of

any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such

Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions of Article

Thirteen or be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or

pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or

regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is either

inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in

or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution establishing such

series of Securities or in the form of Security for such series:



          (1)     default in the payment of any interest on or any Additional

     Amounts with respect to any Security of that series when such interest or

     Additional Amounts become due and payable, and continuance of such default

     for a period of 30 days; or



          (2)     default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if

     any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; or



          (3)     default in the deposit of any mandatory sinking fund payment,

     when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series and continuance

     of such default for a period of 30 days; or



          (4)     default 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 or which has expressly been included

     in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of

     Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or

     breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or

     certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the

     Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all

     Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default or breach

     and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice

     of Default" hereunder; or



          (5)     the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of

     (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an

     involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State

     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree

     or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as

     properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment

     or composition of or in



                                       35

<Page>



     respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or

     appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,

     sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial

     part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its

     affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any

     such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90

     consecutive days; or



          (6)     the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or

     proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,

     reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to

     be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry

     of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary

     case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,

     insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of

     any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing

     by it, of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief

     under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the

     filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a

     custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar

     official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the

     making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the

     admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as

     they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in

     furtherance of any such action; or



          (7)     any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities

     of that series.



          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 501, if the

principal of (and premium, if any) or any interest on, or any Additional Amounts

with respect to, any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including

a composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency (or currencies) is

(or are) not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the

imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the

Company (a "Conversion Event"), the Company will be entitled to satisfy its

obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an

amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other

currency, as determined by the Company by reference to the noon buying rate in

The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency ("Exchange Rate"), as

such Exchange Rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank

of New York on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available,

on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the

foregoing provisions of this Section 501, any payment made under such

circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than

Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.



          Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event with respect to

Securities of any series, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the

Trustee; and the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give

notice thereof in the manner provided in Section 107 to the Holders of such

series. Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a

Conversion Event with respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall

give notice in the manner provided



                                       36

<Page>



in Section 107 to the Holders of such series, setting forth the applicable

Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such payments.



SECTION 502. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.



          If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any series at

the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the

Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the

Outstanding Securities of (i) the series affected by such default (in the case

of an Event of Default described in clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 501)

or (ii) all series of Securities (subject to the immediately following sentence,

in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of Section 501) may

declare the principal amount (or, if any such Securities are Original Issue

Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in

the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of the series affected by

such default or all series, as the case may be, to be due and payable

immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given

by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified

amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default

described in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 shall occur, the principal amount

of the Outstanding Securities of all series IPSO FACTO 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 a declaration of acceleration with respect to

Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case may be) 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 provided, Holders of a majority in

principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series (or of all series,

as the case may be), 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, and any Additional Amounts with

          respect to, all Securities of that series (or of all series, as the

          case may be),



                  (B)  the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities

          of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) which have

          become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and

          interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such

          Securities (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the

          Securities' Yield to Maturity),



                  (C)  to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,

          interest upon overdue interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate

          or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities (in the case of

          Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities' Yield to

          Maturity), and



                                       37

<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 with respect to Securities of that

     series (or of all series, as the case may be), other than the non-payment

     of the principal of Securities of that series (or of all series, as the

     case may be) which have become due solely by such declaration of

     acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 512.



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 installment of interest

     on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of any series

     when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become 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 thereof,



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 Additional

Amounts 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

overdue interest and Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates prescribed

therefor in such Securities (or in the case of Original Issue Discount

Securities, the Securities' Yield to Maturity), and, in addition thereto, such

further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the 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 such 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 such Securities, wherever

situated.



          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs

and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and

enforce its rights and the rights



                                       38

<Page>



of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial

proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual 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 the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,

bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other

judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the

Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their

creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal (or lesser amount

in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) of the Securities shall then

be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and

irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company

for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any), interest or any

Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such

proceeding or otherwise,



          (i)     to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal

     (or lesser amount in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) (and

     premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid

     in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as

     may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee

     (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,

     disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of

     the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and



          (ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or

     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;



and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or

other similar official in any such judicial 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 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, 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 proceedings; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,

that the Trustee may, on behalf of Holders, vote for the election of a trustee

in bankruptcy or similar official.



SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES OR

COUPONS.



                                       39

<Page>



          All rights of action and claim under this Indenture or the Securities

may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without 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

Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.



SECTION 506. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.



          Subject to Article Thirteen, any money collected by the Trustee

pursuant to this Article 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 (or premium, if any), interest or any Additional Amounts,

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 and any Additional

     Amounts with respect to 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 (and premium, if any), interest and Additional

     Amounts, respectively; and



          THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.



          To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose

of obtaining judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary to

convert the sum due in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) or

interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any

series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be

rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate

at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase

in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the

New York Business Day next preceding that on which final judgment is given.

Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any shortfall nor shall

it benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders of Securities under this

Section caused by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount of a

judgment against it is calculated as above and the time the Trustee converts the

Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section

to Holders of Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all

amounts owed by the Company on the claim or claims underlying such judgment.

          Subject to Section 508, no Holder of any Security of any series 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)     an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series

     shall have occurred and be continuing and such Holder has previously given

     written notice to the Trustee of such continuing Event of Default;



          (2)     the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the

     Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to

     the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default 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 of that series;



it being understood and intended that no one or more of such 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 of

such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any

other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in

the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such

Holders.



SECTION 508. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL PREMIUM AND

INTEREST.



          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, each Holder of

a 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 and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security on the

Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of

redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of

any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the

consent of such Holder.



SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.



          If the Trustee or any Holder of any Security has instituted any

proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such

proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every

such case the Company, the Trustee and Holders shall, subject to any

determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to

their former positions



                                       41

<Page>



hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and 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 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 Securities

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 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.



          With respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in

principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series 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, relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in

clause (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Section 501, and with respect to all Securities

the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities

shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any

remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on

the Trustee, not relating to or arising under such an Event of Default, PROVIDED

that in each such case



          (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 DEFAULTS.



          Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding

Securities of any series may on behalf of Holders of all the Securities of such

series waive any past default hereunder with



                                       42

<Page>



respect to such series and its consequences, and Holders of a majority in

principal amount of all Outstanding Securities may on behalf of Holders of all

Securities waive any other past default hereunder and its consequences, except

in each case a default



          (1)     in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or

     interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security, or



          (2)     in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under

     Article Nine 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.



          All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security

by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in

its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy

under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or

omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an

undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its

discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,

against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and

good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the

provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the

Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any

Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal

amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by

any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium,

if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security

on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in

the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).



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 SIX



                                   THE TRUSTEE



SECTION 601. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.



          (a)     Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with

     respect to the Securities of any series,



                  (1)  the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only

          such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no

          implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture

          against the Trustee; and



                  (2)  in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may

          conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the

          correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or

          opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements

          of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or

          opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be

          furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine

          the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements

          of this Indenture.



          (b)     In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing

     with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall exercise

     such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the

     same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would

     exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.



          (c)     No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve

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

     failure to act or its own willful misconduct, EXCEPT that



                  (1)  this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the

          effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;



                  (2)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment

          made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved

          that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;



                  (3)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any

          action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance

          with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of

          the Outstanding Securities of any series or of all series, determined

          as provided in Section 511, relating to the time, method and place of

          conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or

          exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this

          Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and



                                       44

<Page>



                  (4)  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 indemnity

          satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to

          it.



          (d)     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.



          Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with

respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give notice of such

default hereunder known to the Trustee to all Holders of Securities of such

series in the manner provided in Section 107, unless such default shall have

been cured or waived; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except in the case of a default

in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or any

Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series or in the

payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such

series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long

as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of

directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that

the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities

of such series; AND PROVIDED, FURTHER, that in the case of any default of the

character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series,

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, act or condition which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both

would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 601:



          (a)     the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or

     shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to

     bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;



          (d)     the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of

          (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

     satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might

     be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;



          (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, coupon, 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, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or

     investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and

     premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 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, except for any Affiliates of the Trustee, 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 for their correctness.

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.

otherwise agreed with the Company.



SECTION 607. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.



          The Company agrees



          (1)     to pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation 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 any provision

     of this Indenture (including the compensation and the reasonable expenses

     and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,

     disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad

     faith; and



          (3)     to indemnify the Trustee and each of its directors, officers,

     employees, agents and/or representatives for, and to hold each of them

     hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against

     any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of

     any of the Trustee's powers or duties hereunder.



          As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company

under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon

all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds

held in trust for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if

any, on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, particular Securities.



          Any expenses and compensation for any services rendered by the Trustee

after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of

Section 501 shall constitute expenses and compensation for services of

administration under all applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,

reorganization or other similar laws.



          The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this

Indenture.



SECTION 608. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.



          (a)     If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest,

     as defined in this Section, with respect to the Securities of any series,

     it shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting

     interest, either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with



                                       47

<Page>



     respect to the Securities of that series in the manner and with the effect

     hereinafter specified in this Article.



          (b)     In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the

     provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section with respect to the Securities

     of any series, the Trustee shall, within 10 days after the expiration of

     such 90-day period, transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of that

     series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register,

     notice of such failure.



          (c)     For the purposes of this Section, the term "conflicting

     interest" shall have the meaning specified in Section 310(b) of the Trust

     Indenture Act and the Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust

     Indenture Act; PROVIDED that there shall be excluded from the operation of

     Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities

     of any series any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or

     certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the

     Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth

     in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are met. For purposes of

     the preceding sentence, the optional provision permitted by the second

     sentence of Section 310(b)(9) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be

     applicable.



SECTION 609. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus

of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or

State (or District of Columbia) 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.

Indenture Act.



SECTION 610. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.



          (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 in accordance with

     the applicable requirements of Section 611.



          (b)     The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the

     Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the

     Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by

     Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the resigning



                                       48

     Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal

     amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the

     Trustee and to the Company.



          (d)     If at any time:



                  (1)  the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608(a)

          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 of Securities, or



                  (3)  the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be

          adjudged 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 by a Board Resolution may remove the

          Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section

          513, 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 removal

          of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a

          successor Trustee or Trustees.



          (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,

     with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a

     Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees

     with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood

     that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the

     Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there

     shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular

     series) and such successor Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the

     applicable requirements of Section 611. If no successor Trustee with

     respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the

     Company and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611

     subject to Section 513, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a

     Security of such series 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 with respect to the

     Securities of such series.

          (f)     The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each

     any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail,

     postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names

     and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include

     the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such

     series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.



SECTION 611. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.



          (a)     In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee

     with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed

     shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring

     Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the

     resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and

     such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall

     become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the

     retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor

     Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute

     and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the

     rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,

     transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held

     by such retiring Trustee hereunder.



          (b)     In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee

     with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the

     Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to

     the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture

     supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such

     appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be

     necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each

     successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring

     Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the

     appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee

     is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such

     provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all

     the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect

     to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee

     is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3)

     shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be

     necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts

     hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein

     or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees

     co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee

     of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts

     hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution

     and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of

     the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein

     and each 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 with respect to the Securities of that or

     those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates;

     but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring

     Trustee shall duly



                                       50

<Page>



     assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and

     money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the

     Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such

     successor Trustee relates.



          (c)     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

     referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.



          (d)     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.



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,

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.



          The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture

Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the

Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject

to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein.



SECTION 614. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.



          The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents 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

acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and

doing business under the laws



                                       51

<Page>



of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia

having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 or equivalent

amount expressed in a foreign currency and subject to supervision or examination

by Federal or State (or District of Columbia) authority or authority of such

country. 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.



          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 the corporate agency or

corporate trust business of an 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 or the 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 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 Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to

time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the

Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the

provisions of Section 607.



          If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities may

have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of

authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following

form:

          "This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein

referred to in the within- mentioned Indenture.





                                                                               ,

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

                                                 AS TRUSTEE





                                           By                                  ,

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

                                                 AS AUTHENTICATING AGENT

          Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 614 to the contrary, if

at any time any Authenticating Agent appointed hereunder with respect to any

series of Securities shall not also be acting as the Security Registrar

hereunder with respect to any series of Securities, then, in addition to all

other duties of an Authenticating Agent hereunder, such Authenticating Agent

shall also be obligated: (i) to furnish to the Security Registrar promptly all

information necessary to enable the Security Registrar to maintain at all times

an accurate and current Security Register; and (ii) prior to authenticating any

Security denominated in a foreign currency, to ascertain from the Company the

units of such foreign currency that are required to be determined by the Company

pursuant to Section 302.

     611(b) and 901(7).



A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other

provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the

benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the

rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant

or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this

Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.



          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.



SECTION 903. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.



          In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any

supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 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 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, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or

otherwise.

          Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article,

this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental

conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.



SECTION 906. REFERENCE IN SECURITIES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.



          Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the

execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 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 of any series so modified as to conform, in the

opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may

be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the

Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.



                                   ARTICLE TEN



                                    COVENANTS



SECTION 1001. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.



          The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of

Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium,

if any), interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities

of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this

Indenture.



SECTION 1002. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.



          The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of

Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented

or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered

for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or

upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture

may be served. 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.



                                       59

<Page>



          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other

offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series 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 each Place of Payment for Securities of any series 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 SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.



          If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with

respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the

principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with

respect to any of the Securities of that series, 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 or any Additional Amounts 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 for any

series of Securities, the Company will, on or before each due date of the

principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series,

deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and 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 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 for any series of Securities

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), interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect

     to Securities of that series 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 of that series) in the making of any

     payment of principal (and premium, if any), interest on or any Additional

     Amounts with respect to the Securities of that series; 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.



                                       60

<Page>



          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 sums were held by the Company or such

Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such

Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such

money.



          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 or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of

any series and remaining unclaimed for three years after such principal (and

premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts have become due and payable

shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat,

or abandoned or unclaimed property law, 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 published once, in an

Authorized Newspaper in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in

such other Authorized Newspapers as the Trustee shall deem appropriate, 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, unless otherwise required

by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed

property law, be repaid to the Company.



SECTION 1004. EXISTENCE.



          Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all

things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate

existence.



SECTION 1005. STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT.



          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 so long as any

Security is outstanding hereunder, an Officers' Certificate, complying with

Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, stating that a review of the

activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this

Indenture has been made under the supervision of the signers thereof and whether

or not to the best of their knowledge, based upon such review, the Company is in

default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of its covenants

and other obligations under this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in

default, specifying each such default known to them and the nature and status

thereof. One of the officers signing the Officers' Certificate delivered

pursuant to this Section 1005 shall be the principal executive, financial or

accounting officer of the Company.



                                       61

<Page>



          For purposes of this Section, such compliance shall be determined

without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under

this Indenture.



SECTION 1006. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.



          The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any

covenant or condition set forth in Section 1004, or any covenant added for the

benefit of any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301 (unless

otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301) if before or after the time for

such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding

Securities of all series affected by such omission (acting as one class) shall,

by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or

generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver

shall extend to or affect such covenant 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 covenant or

condition shall remain in full force and effect.



SECTION 1007. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS.



          If the Securities of a series expressly provide for the payment of

Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such

series Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein. Whenever in this

Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or

any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the

net proceeds received from the sale or exchange of any Security of any series,

such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional

Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context,

Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to

the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Additional

Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as

excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express

mention is not made.



          If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional

Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect

to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear

interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and

any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of

principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect

to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the

Company shall furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or

Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate

instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such

payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that

series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are United

States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or

other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any

such withholding shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall

specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments

to such Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to such Paying Agent the

Additional Amounts required by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify

the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against any

loss,



                                       62

<Page>



liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on

their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any

of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this

Section 1007.



                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN



                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES



SECTION 1101. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.



          Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated

Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as

otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series)

in accordance with this Article.



SECTION 1102. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.



          Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of a series

as contemplated by Section 301, the election of the Company to redeem any

Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption

at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series,

the Company shall, a reasonable period prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the

Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify

the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of

such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to

the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of

such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the

Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such

restriction. Any notice may be cancelled at any time prior to the mailing of

that notice of redemption to any Holder of the Securities of that series and

shall thereupon be void and of no effect.



SECTION 1103. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.



          If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the

particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days

prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of

such series 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 the minimum authorized denomination for

Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal

amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum

authorized denomination for Securities of that series or of the principal amount

of global Securities of such series.



          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the 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.



                                       63

<Page>



          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 1104. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.



          Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section

107 to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than

60 days prior to the Redemption Date.



          All notices of redemption shall state:



          (1)     the Redemption Date,



          (2)     the Redemption Price,



          (3)     if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series 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, if applicable,

     that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,



          (5)     the place or places where such Securities are to be

     surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,



          (6)     that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the

     case, and



          (7)     the "CUSIP" number, if applicable.



     A notice of redemption as contemplated by Section 107 need not identify

particular 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.



SECTION 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.



          On or before 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, and any Additional

Amounts with respect to, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that

date.



                                       64

<Page>



SECTION 1106. 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

(and any Additional Amounts) 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 prescribed

therefor in the Security or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities,

the Securities' Yield to Maturity.



SECTION 1107. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.



          Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered

at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,

due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form 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 deliver to the Holder of such Security without service

charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Stated Maturity, 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.



SECTION 1108. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES.



          Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company

and any Affiliate of the Company may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire

Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Such acquisition shall

not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the

indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities purchased or

acquired by the Company may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery,

the indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section

309 shall apply to all Securities so delivered.



                                       65

<Page>



                                 ARTICLE TWELVE



                                  SINKING FUNDS



SECTION 1201. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.



          The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund

for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as

contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.



          The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the

terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking

fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by

the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional

sinking fund payment". Unless otherwise provided by the terms of Securities of

any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to

reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be

applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the

terms of Securities of such series.



SECTION 1202. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.



          The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other

than any previously called for redemption), and (2) may apply as a credit

Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the

Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of

permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such

Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund

payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made

pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such

series; PROVIDED that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such

Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the

Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation

of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking payment shall be reduced

accordingly.



SECTION 1203. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.



          Not less than 45 days prior (unless a shorter period shall be

satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of

Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate

specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series

pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to

be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be

satisfied by delivery of or by crediting Securities of that series pursuant to

Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so

delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the

Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund

payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the

redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company

in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been



                                       66

<Page>



duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and

in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.



                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN



                                  SUBORDINATION



SECTION 1301. SECURITIES SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.



          The Company and each Holder of a Security, by his or her acceptance

thereof, agree that (a) the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and

interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to each and all the

Securities and (b) any other payment in respect of the Securities, including on

account of the acquisition or redemption of Securities by the Company, is

subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Thirteen,

to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether

outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter created, incurred,

assumed or guaranteed, and that these subordination provisions are for the

benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.



          This Article Thirteen shall constitute a continuing offer to all

Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to

hold, Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and such provisions are made for the

benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and such holders

are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such

provisions.



SECTION 1302. NO PAYMENT ON SECURITIES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.



          (a)     Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of a

series as contemplated in Section 301, no payment shall be made by or on behalf

of the Company on account of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on

or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any series or to

acquire any of such Securities (including any repurchases of such Securities

pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof at the option of the Holder of such

Securities) for cash or property (other than Junior securities of the Company),

or on account of any redemption provisions of such Securities, in the event of

default in payment of any principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any

Senior Indebtedness of the Company when the same becomes due and payable,

whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or

otherwise (a "Payment Default"), unless and until such Payment Default has been

cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist.



          (b)     Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of a

series as contemplated in Section 301, no payment shall be made by or on behalf

of the Company on account of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on

or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any series or to

acquire any of such Securities (including any repurchases of such Securities

pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof at the option of the Holder of such

Securities) for cash or property (other than Junior securities of the Company),

or on account of any redemption



                                       67

<Page>



provisions of such Securities, in the event of any event of default (other than

a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness permitting

the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or other

representative on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Designated

Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would

otherwise have become due and payable, upon written notice thereof to the

Company and the Trustee by any holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness (or a

trustee or other representative on behalf of the holders thereof) (the "Payment

Notice"), unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived

or otherwise has ceased to exist; PROVIDED, that such payments may not be

prevented pursuant to this Section 1302(b) for more than 179 days after an

applicable Payment Notice has been received by the Trustee unless the Designated

Senior Indebtedness in respect of which such event of default exists has been

declared due and payable in its entirety, in which case no such payment may be

made until such acceleration has been rescinded or annulled or such Designated

Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full. No event of default that existed or

was continuing on the date of any Payment Notice (whether or not such event of

default is on the same issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness) may be made the

basis for the giving of a second Payment Notice, and only one such Payment

Notice may be given in any 365-day period.



          (c)     In furtherance of the provisions of Section 1301, in the event

that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1302, any payment

or distribution of assets of the Company (other than Junior securities of the

Company) shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of Securities of any

series at a time when such payment or distribution was prohibited by the

provisions of this Section 1302, then, unless such payment or distribution is no

longer prohibited by this Section 1302, such payment or distribution (subject to

the provisions of Section 1307) shall be received and held in trust by the

Trustee or such Holder or Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Senior

Indebtedness of the Company, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee or

such Holders or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, to the holders of Senior

Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their

representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any

indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness

Holders, be deemed to be payment by the Company or on account of such Senior

Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article Thirteen

are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of

the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior

Indebtedness, on the other hand.

would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article

Thirteen shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article

Thirteen, to the payment of amounts payable under Senior Indebtedness of the

Company, then such Holders shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such

Senior Indebtedness any payments or distributions received by such holders of

Senior Indebtedness in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all amounts

payable under or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness in full.



SECTION 1305. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UNCONDITIONAL.



          Nothing contained in this Article Thirteen or elsewhere in this

holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent

the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by

applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any,

under this Article Thirteen, of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of

cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any

such remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article Thirteen

or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities, upon any distribution of

assets of the Company referred to in this Article Thirteen, the Trustee, subject

to the provisions of Sections 601 and 603, and the Holders of the Securities

shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of

competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or

reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating

trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to

such Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate

in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other

Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount

or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or

to this Article Thirteen so long as such court has been apprised of the

provisions of, or the order, decree or certificate makes reference to, the

provisions of this Article Thirteen.

SECTION 1306. TRUSTEE ENTITLED TO ASSUME PAYMENTS NOT PROHIBITED IN ABSENCE OF

NOTICE.



          The Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the

existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by

the Trustee unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or any Paying

Agent shall have received, no later than two Business Days prior to such

payment, written notice thereof from the Company or from one or more holders of

Senior Indebtedness or from any representative therefor and, prior to the

receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of

that no such fact exists.



SECTION 1307. APPLICATION BY TRUSTEE OF AMOUNTS DEPOSITED WITH IT.



          Amounts deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to and in

accordance with Article Four shall be for the sole benefit of Holders of the

Securities of series for the benefit of which such amounts were deposited, and,

to the extent allocated for the payment of Securities of such series, shall not

be subject to the subordination provisions of this Article Thirteen. Otherwise,

any deposit of assets with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (whether or not in

trust) for the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any

Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities shall be subject to the

provisions of Sections 1301, 1302, 1303 and 1304; PROVIDED that if prior to two

Business Days preceding the date on which by the terms of this Indenture any

such assets may become distributable for any purpose (including without

limitation, the payment of either principal of, premium (if any) or interest on

or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security), the Trustee or such

Paying Agent shall not have received with respect to such assets the written

notice provided for in Section 1306, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall

have full power and authority to receive such assets and to apply the same to

the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any

notice to the contrary that may be received by it on or after such date; and

PROVIDED FURTHER that nothing contained in this Article Thirteen shall prevent

the Company from making, or the Trustee from receiving or applying, any payment

in connection with the redemption of Securities if the first publication of

notice of such redemption (whether by mail or otherwise in accordance with this

Indenture) has been made, and the Trustee has received such payment from the

Company, prior to the occurrence of any of the contingencies specified in

Section 1302 or 1303.



SECTION 1308. SUBORDINATION RIGHTS NOT IMPAIRED BY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE

COMPANY OR HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.



          No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness

to enforce subordination provisions contained in this Article Thirteen shall at

any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on

the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any

such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this

Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or

be otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Indebtedness may extend, renew,

modify or amend the terms of the Senior Indebtedness or any security therefor

and release, sell or exchange such security and



                                       71

otherwise deal freely with the Company, all without affecting the liabilities

and obligations of the parties to this Indenture or the Holders of the

Securities.



SECTION 1309. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES.



          Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes

and expressly directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be

necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provisions contained in

this Article Thirteen and to protect the rights of the Holders of the Securities

pursuant to this Indenture, and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for

such purpose, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up,

liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency

or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors

of the Company), the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of his Securities

in the form required in said proceedings and cause said claim to be approved. If

the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required

in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file

such claim or claims, then the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their

representative is hereby authorized to have the right to file and is hereby

authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of said

Securities. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or

the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative to authorize or

consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of Securities any plan of

reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities

or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders

of Senior Indebtedness or their representative to vote in respect of the claim

of any Holder of the Securities in any such proceeding.



SECTION 1310. RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO HOLD SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.



          The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all of the

rights set forth in this Article Thirteen in respect of any Senior Indebtedness

at any time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior

Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the

Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.



SECTION 1311. ARTICLE THIRTEEN NOT TO PREVENT EVENTS OF DEFAULT.



          The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or premium

(if any) or interest on the Securities by reason of any provision of this

Article Thirteen shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a

Default or an Event of Default under Section 501 or in any way prevent the

Holders of the Securities from exercising any right hereunder other than the

right to receive payment on the Securities.



SECTION 1312. NO FIDUCIARY DUTY OF TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.



          The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the

holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and shall not be liable to any

such holders (other than for its willful misconduct or negligence) if it shall

in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders of the Securities

or the Company or any other Person, cash, property or securities to which any



                                       72

<Page>



holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of

this Article Thirteen or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 1312 shall affect

the obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the benefit of,

and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the

Company or their representative.



SECTION 1313. ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENT.



          In case at any time any Payment Agent other than the Trustee shall

have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term

"Trustee" as used in this Article Thirteen shall in such case (unless the

context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such

Payment Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if

such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the

Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this Section 1313 shall not apply to the

Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying

Agent.
