transfer of Debt Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may
be imposed in connection therewith.

         The Company or the Trustee shall not be required to exchange or
register a transfer of any Debt Security for a period of 15 days immediately
preceding the date of selection of Debt Securities for redemption.

     SECTION 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities.
                   ----------------------------------------------------

         In case any Debt Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost
or stolen, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, a new Debt Security bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated
Debt Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debt Security so
destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Debt
Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and
the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

         The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Debt Security and
deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the
Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, 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 connected
therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature or
has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debt Security,
pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in
the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall
furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss
or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and to the Trustee of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

         Every substituted Debt Security issued pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any such Debt Security is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall
be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities
duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be held and owned upon the
express condition that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities and shall preclude any and
all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of
negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

     SECTION 2.07. Temporary Debt Securities.
                   -------------------------

         Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities, the Company may
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery
temporary Debt Securities that are typed, printed or lithographed. Temporary
Debt Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and
substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt
Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Debt
Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee
upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same
effect, as the definitive Debt Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the

                                       40
<PAGE>

Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent
definitive Debt Securities and thereupon any or all temporary Debt Securities
may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the Principal Office of the Trustee
or at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose as
provided in Section 3.02, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Debt
Securities a like aggregate principal amount of such definitive Debt Securities.
Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any
charge therefor except that in case of any such exchange involving a
registration of transfer the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt
Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     SECTION 2.08. Payment of Interest.
                   -------------------

         Each Debt Security will bear interest at the then applicable Interest
Rate from and including each Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the first
Interest Payment Period, the original date of issuance of such Debt Security to,
but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the
last Interest Payment Period, the Redemption Date, Special Redemption Date or
Maturity Date, as applicable, on the principal thereof, on any overdue principal
and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law) on Deferred Interest and on any overdue installment of interest (including
Defaulted Interest), payable (subject to the provisions of Article XV) on each
Interest Payment Date commencing on October 7, 2006. Interest and any Deferred
Interest on any Debt Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for by the Company, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name said Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment, except that interest and any Deferred Interest payable on
the Maturity Date, the Redemption Date (to the extent redeemed) or the Special
Redemption Date, shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid, hi (i)
case the Maturity Date of any Debt Security or (ii) the event that any Debt
Security or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is
subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date
and either on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Debt
Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Security.

         Any interest on any Debt Security, other than Deferred Interest, that
is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for by the Company, on
any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date
by virtue of having been such holder, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
by the Company to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Debt
Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to
the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be

                                       41
<PAGE>

held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest
as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record
date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than
fifteen nor less than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
less than ten 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 Securityholder
at his or her address as it appears in the Debt Security Register, not less than
ten days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed
as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names such Debt Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered on such special record date and thereafter the Company shall have no
further payment obligation in respect of the Defaulted Interest.

         Any interest scheduled to become payable on an Interest Payment Date
occurring during an Extension Period shall not be Defaulted Interest and shall
be payable on such other date as may be specified in the terms of such Debt
Securities.

         The term "regular record date" as used in this Section shall mean the
fifteenth day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not such
date is a Business Day.

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

     SECTION 2.09. Cancellation of Debt Securities Paid, etc.
                   -----------------------------------------

         All Debt Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
exchange or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the Company or
any Paying Agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or,
if surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, shall be promptly
canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as
expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All Debt
Securities canceled by any Authenticating Agent shall be delivered to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall destroy all canceled Debt Securities unless the
Company otherwise directs the Trustee in writing, in which case the Trustee
shall dispose of such Debt Securities as directed by the Company. If the Company
shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not
operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such
Debt Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

     SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest.
                   -----------------------

         (a)      The amount of interest payable for any Interest Payment
Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of
days elapsed in the relevant interest period; provided, however, that upon the
occurrence of a Special Event Redemption pursuant to Section 10.02 the


                                       42
<PAGE>

amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture shall be calculated as set forth in
the definition of Special Redemption Price.

         (b)      LIBOR, for any Interest Payment Period, shall be determined by
the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

                  (1)      On the second LIBOR Business Day (provided, that on
         such day commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in
         foreign currency deposits) in London (a "LIBOR Banking Day"), and
         otherwise the next preceding LIBOR Business Day that is also a LIBOR
         Banking Day) prior to the January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15
         immediately succeeding the commencement of such Interest Payment Period
         (or, with respect to the first Interest Payment Period, on August 15,
         2006) (each such day, a "LIBOR Determination Date" for such Interest
         Payment Period), the Calculation Agent shall obtain the rate for three-
         month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe, which appears on Telerate Page
         3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives
         Association, Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions)
         or such other page as may replace such Telerate Page 3750 on the
         Moneyline Telerate, Inc. service (or such other service or services as
         may be nominated by the British Banker's Association as the information
         vendor for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for
         U.S. dollar deposits), as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR
         Determination Date, and the rate so obtained shall be LIBOR for such
         Interest Payment Period. "LIBOR Business Day" means any day that is not
         a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banking
         institutions in The City of New York or Wilmington, Delaware are
         authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed. If such
         rate is superseded on Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate before
         12:00 noon (London time) on the same LIBOR Determination Date, the
         corrected rate as so substituted will be LIBOR for that Interest
         Payment Period.

                  (2)      If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does
         not appear on Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such
         Telerate Page 3750 on the Moneyline Telerate, Inc. service (or such
         other service or services as may be nominated by the British Banker's
         Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying
         London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits), the
         Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered
         quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks
         in the London Interbank market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in
         Europe (in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent) by reference
         to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time)
         on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the
         Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of
         the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal the
         arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination
         Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such a quotation,
         LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered
         quotations that at least two leading banks in the City of New York (as
         selected by the Calculation Agent) are quoting on the relevant LIBOR
         Determination Date for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in


                                       43
<PAGE>

         Europe at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) (in an amount
         determined by the Calculation Agent). As used herein, "Reference Banks"
         means four major banks in the London Interbank market selected by the
         Calculation Agent.

                  (3)      If the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to
         determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures
         provided above, LIBOR for the applicable Interest Payment Period shall
         be LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Payment
         Period.

         (c)      All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Debt
Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth
of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)),
and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be
rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

         (d)      On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
notify, in writing, the Company and the Paying Agent of the applicable Interest
Rate in effect for the related Interest Payment Period. The Calculation Agent
shall, upon the request of the holder of any Debt Securities, provide the
Interest Rate then in effect. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in
the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding
on the Company and the holders of the Debt Securities. The Paying Agent shall be
entitled to rely on information received from the Calculation Agent or the
Company as to the Interest Rate. The Company shall, from time to time, provide
any necessary information to the Paying Agent relating to any original issue
discount and interest on the Debt Securities that is included in any payment and
reportable for taxable income calculation purposes.

     SECTION2.il. Extension of Interest Payment Period.
                  ------------------------------------

         As long as it is acting in good faith, and so long as no Event of
Default leading to an acceleration event pursuant to paragraphs (c), (e), (f) or
(g) of Section 5.01 of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall have the right under the Indenture, from time to time and without causing
an Event of Default, to defer payments of interest on the Debt Securities by
extending the interest distribution period on the Debt Securities at any time
and from time to time during the term of the Debt Securities, for up to twenty
consecutive quarterly periods (each such extended interest distribution period,
an "Extension Period"), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due
and payable (except any Additional Interest that may be due and payable). No
Extension Period may end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date or extend
beyond the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date (to the extent redeemed) or any
Special Redemption Date. During any Extension Period, interest will continue to
accrue on the Debt Securities, and interest on such accrued interest (such
accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as "Deferred Interest")
will accrue at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate applicable during such
Extension Period, compounded quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest
would have been payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent
permitted by law. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be due and payable
during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof. At the end of any such
Extension Period the Company shall pay all Deferred Interest then accrued and
unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that no Extension


                                       44
<PAGE>

Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date, Redemption Date (to the extent
redeemed) or Special Redemption Date; and provided further, however, that during
any such Extension Period, the Company shall be subject to the restrictions set
forth in Section 3.08 of this Indenture. Prior to the termination of any
Extension Period, the Company may further extend such period, provided, that
such period together with all such previous and further consecutive extensions
thereof shall not exceed twenty consecutive quarterly periods, or extend beyond
the Maturity Date, Redemption Date (to the extent redeemed) or Special
Redemption Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the
payment of all Deferred Interest, the Company may commence a new Extension
Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. The Company must give the Trustee
notice of its election to begin such Extension Period ("Notice") not later than
the related regular record date for the relevant Interest Payment Date. The
Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, why the Company has elected to
begin an Extension Period. The Notice shall acknowledge and affirm the Company's
understanding that it is prohibited from issuing dividends and other
distributions during the Extension Period. Upon receipt of the Notice, an
Initial Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to disclose to
current holders of the outstanding Capital Securities and to proposed purchasers
the name of the Company, the fact that the Company has elected to begin an
Extension Period and other information that such Initial Purchaser, at its sole
discretion, deems relevant to the Company's election to begin an Extension
Period. The Trustee shall give notice of the Company's election to begin a new
Extension Period to the Securityholders.

     SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers.
                   -------------

The Company in issuing the Debt Securities may use a "CUSIP" number (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use a "CUSIP" number in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders; provided, that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
number either as printed on the Debt 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 Debt Securities, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number.

     SECTION 2.13. Global Debentures.
                   -----------------

         (a)      Upon the election of a holder of Outstanding Debt Securities,
which election need not be in writing, the Debt Securities owned by such holder
shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Debentures registered in the
name of the Depositary or its nominee. Each Global Debenture issued under this
Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the
Company for such Global Debenture or a nominee thereof and delivered to such
Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global
Debenture shall constitute a single Debt Security for all purposes of this
Indenture.

         (b)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no
Global Debenture may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities
registered, and no transfer of a Global Debenture in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Debenture or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee
and the Company in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able

                                       45
<PAGE>

to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such
Global Debenture, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Company within
ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii) such Depositary
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no
successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining
knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee
a company order stating that the Company elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and instruct
the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Debenture of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Debt
Securities to such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same. Upon the
issuance of such Debt Securities and the registration in the Debt Security
Register of such Debt Securities in the names of the holders of the beneficial
interests therein, the Trustee shall recognize such holders of beneficial
interests as holders thereof.

         (c)      If any Global Debenture is to be exchanged for other Debt
Securities or canceled in part, or if another Debt Security is to be exchanged
in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Debenture, then
either (i) such Global Debenture shall be so surrendered for exchange or
cancellation as provided in this Article II or (ii) the principal amount thereof
shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Debt
Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may
be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Debt
Security registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the applicable
depository procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized
representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such
surrender or adjustment of a Global Debenture by the Depositary, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities issuable in exchange for such
Global Debenture (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of
the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in
relying on, such instructions.

         (d)      Every Debt Security authenticated and delivered upon
registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global
Debenture or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the
form of, and shall be, a Global Debenture, unless such Debt Security is
registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Debenture or a nominee thereof.

         (e)      Debt Securities distributed to holders of Book-Entry Capital
Securities (as defined in the Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of the Trust
shall be distributed in the form of one or more Global Debentures registered in
the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Debt Securities
registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such Depositary, for credit
by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the
Debt Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct).
Debt Securities distributed to holders of Capital Securities other than
Book-Entry Capital Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust shall not be
issued in the form of a Global Debenture or any other form intended to
facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such Debt Securities.

                                       46
<PAGE>

         (f)      The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a
Global Debenture, shall be the holder of such Global Debenture for all purposes
under this Indenture and the Debt Securities, and owners of beneficial interests
in a Global Debenture shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Depository Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a
Global Debenture shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall
be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or
its Depositary Participants. The Debt Securities registrar and the Trustee shall
be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Indenture
relating to a Global Debenture (including the payment of principal and interest
thereon and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial
interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole holder of the Debt
Security and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial interests
therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Debt Securities registrar shall have any
liability in respect of any transfers affected by the Depositary.

         (g)      The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Debenture shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to
those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary
and/or its Depositary Participants.

         (h)      No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Debenture
held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture
with respect to such Global Debenture, and such Depositary may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of
such Global Debenture for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility
or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Debenture or maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a
Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial
interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as holder of any Debt Security.

                ARTICLE III PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

     SECTION 3.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest; Agreed Treatment
of the Debt Securities.

         (a)      The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and
punctually pay or cause to be paid all payments due on the Debt Securities at
the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in this Indenture
and the Debt Securities. At the option of the Company, each installment of
interest on the Debt Securities may be paid (i) by mailing checks for such
interest payable to the order of the holders of Debt Securities entitled thereto
as they appear on the Debt Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to any
account with a banking institution located in the United States designated by
such Person to the Paying Agent no later than the related record date.

                                       47
<PAGE>

         (b)      The Company will treat the Debt Securities as indebtedness,
and the interest payable in respect of such Debt Securities as interest, for all
U.S. federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of such Debt
Securities will be made free and clear of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial
owner thereof that has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN (or any
substitute or successor form) establishing its non-U.S. status for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.

         (c)      As of the date of this Indenture, the Company represents that
it has no intention to exercise its right under Section 2.11 to defer payments
of interest on the Debt Securities by commencing an Extension Period.

     SECTION 3.02. Offices for Notices and Payments, etc.
                   --------------------------------------

         So long as any of the Debt Securities remain outstanding, the Company
will maintain in Wilmington, Delaware an office or agency where the Debt
Securities may be presented for payment, an office or agency where the Debt
Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as
provided in this Indenture and an office or agency where notices and demands to
or upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities or of this Indenture may
be served. The Company will give to the Trustee written notice of the location
of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. Until
otherwise designated from time to time by the Company in a notice to the
Trustee, or specified as contemplated by Section 2.05, such office or agency for
all of the above purposes shall be the Principal Office of the Trustee. In case
the Company shall fail to maintain any such office or agency in Wilmington,
Delaware or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in
the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be
served at the Principal Office of the Trustee.

         In addition to any such office or agency, the Company may from time to
time designate one or more offices or agencies outside Wilmington, Delaware or
where the Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for
exchange in the manner provided in this Indenture, and the Company may from time
to time rescind such designation, as the Company may deem desirable or
expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain any such office or
agency in Wilmington, Delaware for the purposes above mentioned. The Company
will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or
rescission thereof.

     SECTION 3.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee's Office.
                   --------------------------------------------------

         The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the
office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.09, a
Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

     SECTION 3.04. Provision as to Paving Agent.
                   ----------------------------

         (a)      If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the
Trustee, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee
an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provision of this Section 3.04:

                                       48
<PAGE>

                  (1)      that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent
         for the payment of all payments due on the Debt Securities (whether
         such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor
         on the Debt Securities) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the
         Debt Securities;

                  (2)      that it will give the Trustee prompt written notice
         of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Debt
         Securities) to make any payment on the Debt Securities when the same
         shall be due and payable; and

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

         (b)      If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on
or before each due date of the payments due on the Debt Securities, set aside,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Debt
Securities a sum sufficient to pay such payments so becoming due and will notify
the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by
the Company (or by any other obligor under the Debt Securities) to make any
payment on the Debt Securities when the same shall become due and payable.

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

         (c)      Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and
discharge with respect to the Debt Securities, or for any other reason, pay, or
direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Company or any such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the
same terms and conditions herein contained.

         (d)      Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding,
the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.04 is subject
to Sections 12.03 and 12.04.

         (e)      The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee to act as
Paying Agent (the "Paying Agent").

     SECTION 3.05. Certificate to Trustee.
                   ----------------------

         The Company will deliver to the Trustee on or before 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year, so long as Debt Securities are outstanding hereunder, a
Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of
their duties as officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of
any default by the Company in the performance of any covenants of the Company
contained herein, stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such default
and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signers have knowledge and
the nature thereof.

                                       49
<PAGE>

     SECTION 3.06. Additional Interest.
                   -------------------

         If and for so long as the Trust is the holder of all Debt Securities
and is subject to or otherwise required to pay, or is required to withhold from
distributions to holders of Trust Securities, any additional taxes (including
withholding taxes), duties, assessments or other governmental charges as a
result of a Tax Event, the Company will pay such additional amounts (the
"Additional Interest") on the Debt Securities as shall be required so that the
net amounts received and retained by the Trust for distribution to holders of
Trust Securities after paying all taxes (including withholding taxes on
distributions to holders of Trust Securities), duties, assessments or other
governmental charges will be equal to the amounts the Trust would have received
and retained for distribution to holders of Trust Securities after paying all
taxes (including withholding taxes on distributions to holders of Trust
Securities), duties, assessments or other governmental charges if no such
additional taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges had been
imposed. Whenever in this Indenture or the Debt Securities there is a reference
in any context to the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on
the Debt Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of payments
of the Additional Interest provided for in this paragraph to the extent that, in
such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and express mention of the payment
of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Indenture or any Debt Security, the deferral of
the payment of interest during an Extension Period pursuant to Section 2.11
shall not defer the payment of any Additional Interest that may be due and
payable.

     SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Consolidation Provisions.
                   ----------------------------------------

         The Company will not, while any of the Debt Securities remain
outstanding, consolidate with, or merge into any other Person, or merge into
itself, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its property or capital stock to any other Person unless the provisions
of Article XI hereof are complied with.

     SECTION 3.08. Limitation on Dividends.
                   -----------------------

         If Debt Securities are initially issued to the Trust or a trustee of
such Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by the Trust
(regardless of whether Debt Securities continue to be held by such Trust) and
(i) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, (ii) the
Company shall be in default with respect to its payment of any obligations under
the Capital Securities Guarantee or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of
its election to defer payments of interest on the Debt Securities by extending
the interest distribution period as provided herein and such period, or any
extension thereof, shall have commenced and be continuing, then the Company may
not (A) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,
acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's
capital stock or (B) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if
any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that
rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debt
Securities or (C) make any payment under any guarantees of the Company that rank
pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Capital

                                       50
<PAGE>

Securities Guarantee (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other
acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Company (I) in connection with
any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for
the benefit of one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (II)
in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or
(III) in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or
securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock), as
consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the occurrence
of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, (b) as a result of any exchange, reclassification,
combination or conversion of any class or series of the Company's capital stock
(or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of
the Company's capital stock or of any class or series of the Company's
indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's capital stock, (c) the
purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's capital stock
pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the
security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in
connection with any stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock
or other property under any stockholder's rights plan, or the redemption or
repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in the form of stock,
warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable
upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as
that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks paripassu with or junior to
such stock).

     SECTION 3.09. Covenants as to the Trust.
                   -------------------------

         For so long as such Trust Securities remain outstanding, the Company
shall maintain 100% ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that
any permitted successor of the Company under this Indenture that is a U.S.
Person may succeed to the Company's ownership of such Common Securities. The
Company, as owner of the Common Securities, shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Trust (a) to remain a statutory trust, except in connection
with a distribution of Debt Securities to the holders of Trust Securities in
liquidation of the Trust, the redemption of all of the Trust Securities or
certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, each as permitted by the
Declaration, (b) to otherwise continue to be classified as a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes and (c) to cause each holder of Trust
Securities to be treated as owning an undivided beneficial interest in the Debt
Securities.

                                   ARTICLE IV
         LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE SECTION 4.01.

     Securityholders' Lists.
     ----------------------

         The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Trustee:

         (a)      on each regular record date for an Interest Payment Date, a
list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of the Securityholders of the Debt Securities as of such record date;
and

                                       51
<PAGE>

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

except that no such lists need be furnished under this Section 4.01 so long as
the Trustee is in possession thereof by reason of its acting as Debt Security
registrar.

     SECTION 4.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists.
                   ------------------------------------

         (a)      The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the
holders of Debt Securities (1) contained in the most recent list furnished to it
as provided in Section 4.01 or (2) received by it in the capacity of Debt
Securities registrar (if so acting) hereunder. The Trustee may destroy any list
furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 upon receipt of a new list so
furnished.

         (b)      In case three or more holders of Debt Securities (hereinafter
referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish to the
Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Debt Security for
a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other holders
of Debt Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under
such Debt Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall
within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election
either:

                  (1)      afford such applicants access to the information
         preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions
         of subsection (a) of this Section 4.02, or

                  (2)      inform such applicants as to the approximate number
         of holders of Debt Securities whose names and addresses appear in the
         information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the
         provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 4.02, and as to the
         approximate cost of mailing to such Securityholders the form of proxy
         or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

         If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants,
mail to each Securityholder of Debt Securities whose name and address appear in
the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 4.02 a copy of the form of proxy or
other communication which is specified in such request with reasonable
promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of
payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing,
unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such
applicants and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if permitted or
required by applicable law, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a
written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such
mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the holders of all Debt
Securities, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such
written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If said

                                       52
<PAGE>

Commission, as permitted or required by applicable law, after opportunity for a
hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall
enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry
of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, said Commission shall
find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall
mail copies of such material to all such Securityholders with reasonable
promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender;
otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such
applicants respecting their application.

         (c)      Each and every holder of Debt Securities, by receiving and
holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be held accountable by reason
of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the
holders of Debt Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b)
of this Section 4.02, regardless of the source from which such information was
derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing
any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).

     SECTION 4.03. Financial and Other Information.
                   -------------------------------

         The Company shall deliver to each Securityholder (1) each Report on

Securities:

         (a)      the Company defaults in the payment of any interest upon any
Debt Security when it becomes due and payable (unless the Company has elected

and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified under clause (e),
(f) or (g) of this Section 5.01 occurs, then, in each and every such case, the
entire principal amount of the Debt Securities and any premium and interest
accrued, but unpaid, thereon shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable
without further action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
5.01, if at any time during the period in which this Indenture remains in force
and effect, the Company ceases or elects to cease to be subject to the
supervision and regulations of the Federal Reserve, OTS, OCC or similar
regulatory authority overseeing bank, thrift, savings and loan or financial
holding companies or similar institutions requiring specifications for the
treatment of capital similar in nature to the capital adequacy guidelines under
the Federal Reserve rules and regulations, then the first sentence of this
paragraph shall be deemed to include clauses (a), (b) and (d) under this Section
5.01 as an Event of Default resulting in an acceleration of payment of the Debt
Securities to the same extent as provided herein for clause (c).

         Anything in this Section 5.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, if an
Event of Default specified under clause (d) occurs and is continuing, then, and
in each and every such case, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, shall pursue all available remedies at law and/or equity against
the Company. The Company acknowledges and affirms that in the event of breach of
such covenants and agreements referenced in clause (d) of this Section 5.01, the
damages to the holders of the Debt Securities and the Capital Securities may be
difficult or impossible to ascertain. Therefore, in addition to any remedies
available at law for breach of any or all of said covenants or agreements, the
holders of the Debt Securities and the Capital Securities shall be entitled to
injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the violation of any
such covenants or agreements referenced in Section 5.01(d).

         The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that
if, at any time after the principal of the Debt Securities shall have been so
declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of
the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, (i)
the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
all matured installments of interest upon all the Debt Securities and all
payments on the Debt Securities which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest upon all such payments and Deferred Interest, to the
extent permitted by law) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06, if any, and (ii) all Events of Default under
this Indenture, other than the non-payment of the payments on Debt Securities
which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or
otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then
outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all
defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no
such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon; provided,
however, that if the Debt Securities are held by the Trust or a trustee of the
Trust, such waiver or rescission and annulment shall not be effective until the
holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding Capital
Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such waiver or rescission and
annulment.

                                       55
<PAGE>

         In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under
this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have
been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the
Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debt Securities shall be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debt
Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

     SECTION 5.02. Payment of Debt Securities on Default; Suit Therefor.
                   ----------------------------------------------------

         The Company covenants that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under paragraphs (c), (e), (f) or (g) of Section 5.01 of the Indenture, the
Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Debt
Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all
Debt Securities including Deferred Interest accrued on the Debt Securities; and,
in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the
Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any other amounts due to the
Trustee under Section 6.06. In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such
amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or
proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final
decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or
any other obligor on such Debt Securities and collect in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on such Debt
Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

         In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for
the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities
under Bankruptcy Law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed
for the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any
other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon
the Debt Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such
other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Debt
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration
of acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have
made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.02, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to
file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities and, in case of any judicial
proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for
reimbursement of all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.06) and of
the Securityholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company
or any other obligor on the Debt Securities, or to the creditors or property of
the Company or such other obligor, unless prohibited by applicable law and
regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of the Debt Securities in any
election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization,
liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or Person performing
similar functions in comparable proceedings, and to collect and receive any
moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to
distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses;

                                       56
<PAGE>

and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized by each of the Securityholders to make such payments to the Trustee,
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor
Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.06.

         Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Debt Securities or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

         All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Debt Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Debt Securities, or the production thereof at any trial
or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted
by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of
the Debt Securities.

         In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders
of the Debt Securities, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the
Debt Securities parties to any such proceedings.

     SECTION 5.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.
                   ------------------------------------------

         Any moneys collected by the Trustee shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such
moneys, upon presentation of the several Debt Securities in respect of which
moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially
paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

         First: To the payment of costs and expenses incurred by, and reasonable
fees of, the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and of all other
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.06;

         Second: To the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company if and
to the extent required by Article XV;

         Third: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Debt
Securities, in respect of which or for the benefit of which money has been
collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due on such Debt Securities; and

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

     SECTION 5.04. Proceedings by Securityholders.
                   ------------------------------

         No holder of any Debt Security shall have any right to institute any
suit, action or proceeding for any remedy hereunder, unless such holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default
with respect to the Debt Securities and unless the holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then outstanding shall have
given the Trustee a written request to institute such action, suit or proceeding
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby, and
the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding;
provided, that no holder of Debt Securities shall have any right to prejudice
the rights of any other holder of Debt Securities, obtain priority or preference
over any other such holder or enforce any right under this Indenture except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
holders of Debt Securities.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions in this hidenture, however, the
right of any holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such Debt Security when due, or to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such holder. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall
be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

     SECTION 5.05. Proceedings by Trustee.
                   ----------------------

         In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this
Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem
most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in
equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether
for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this
hidenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or
to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

     SECTION 5.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing.
                   ----------------------------------

         Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06, all powers and remedies
given by this Article V to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other
powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Debt
Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or
observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or
otherwise established with respect to the Debt Securities, and no delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debt Securities to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and,
subject to the provisions of Section 5.04, every power and remedy given by this
Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or
by the Securityholders.

                                       58

     SECTION 5.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority
of Securityholders.

         The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities affected (voting as one class) at the time outstanding and, if the
Debt Securities are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, the holders of
a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding Capital Securities
of the Trust 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 with respect to such Debt
Securities; provided, however, that if the Debt Securities are held by the Trust
or a trustee of the Trust, such time, method and place or such exercise, as the
case may be, may not be so directed until the holders of a majority in aggregate
liquidation amount of the outstanding Capital Securities of the Trust shall have
directed such time, method and place or such exercise, as the case may be;
provided, further, that (subject to the provisions of Section 6.01) the Trustee
shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee
being advised by counsel shall determine that the action so directed would be
unjustly prejudicial to the holders not taking part in such direction or if the
Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action or proceeding so
directed may not lawfully be taken or if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the
Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration of acceleration, or ipso
facto acceleration, of the maturity of the Debt Securities, the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time
outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debt Securities waive (or
modify any previously granted waiver of) any past default or Event of Default
and its consequences, except a default (a) in the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any of the Debt Securities, (b) in respect of
covenants or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the holder of each Debt Security affected, or (c) in respect of the
covenants contained in Section 3.09; provided, however, that if the Debt
Securities are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, such waiver or
modification to such waiver shall not be effective until the holders of a
majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities of the Trust shall have
consented to such waiver or modification to such waiver; provided, further, that
if the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debt Security is required, such
waiver or modification to such waiver shall not be effective until each holder
of the outstanding Capital Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such
waiver or modification to such waiver. Upon any such waiver or modification to
such waiver, the Default or Event of Default covered thereby shall be deemed to
be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the
holders of the Debt Securities shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver or modification to such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default
hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.07, said Default
or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debt Securities and this
Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

     SECTION 5.08. Notice of Defaults.
                   ------------------

         The Trustee shall, within 90 days after a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee shall have actual knowledge or received written notice of the occurrence
of a Default with respect to the Debt Securities, mail to all Securityholders,
as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Debt Security

                                       59
<PAGE>

Register, notice of all Defaults with respect to the Debt Securities actually
known to the Trustee, unless such Defaults shall have been cured before the
giving of such notice (the term "Defaults" for the purpose of this Section 5.08
being hereby defined to be the events specified in subsections (a), (b), (c),
(d), (e), (f) and (g) of Section 5.01, not including periods of grace, if any,
provided for therein); provided, that, except in the case of default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Debt
Securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so
long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders.

     SECTION 5.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs.
                   ------------------------

         All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debt
Security by such holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed,
that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, 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 5.09 shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or
group of Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the Debt Securities (or, if such Debt Securities are held by the Trust
or a trustee of the Trust, more than 10% in liquidation amount of the
outstanding Capital Securities) to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for
the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Debt Security against the Company on or after the same shall
have become due and payable, or to any suit instituted in accordance with
Section 14.12.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                      CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION

     6.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.
           --------------------------------------

         With respect to the holders of Debt Securities issued hereunder, the
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt
Securities and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may
have occurred, with respect to the Debt Securities, undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In
case an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities has occurred (which
has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

         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:


                                       60
<PAGE>

         (a)      prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
the Debt Securities and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default
which may have occurred

                  (1)      the duties and obligations of the Trustee with
         respect to the Debt Securities shall be determined solely by the
         express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be
         liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with
         respect to the Debt Securities 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 the part of the
         Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
         statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
         any certificates or opinions furnished to the 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 on
         their face to the requirements of this Indenture;

         (b)      the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it
shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;

         (c)      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 Securityholders pursuant to Section 5.07, 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;

         (d)      the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default
or Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities unless either (1) a
Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of
Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have
been given to the Trustee by the Company or any other obligor on the Debt
Securities or by any holder of the Debt Securities, except with respect to an
Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.01 (a) or 5.01 (b) hereof (other than an
Event of Default resulting from the default in the payment of Additional
Interest or premium, if any, if the Trustee does not have actual knowledge or
written notice that such payment is due and payable), of which the Trustee shall
be deemed to have knowledge; and

         (e)      in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
Trustee may seek and rely on reasonable instructions from the Company.

         None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers.

     SECTION 6.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Except as

         otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

         (a)      the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, note,
debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

         (b)      any request, direction, order or demand of the Company
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
(unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed);
and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

         (c)      the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and any
advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

         (d)      the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby;

         (e)      the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities
(that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to the Debt
Securities such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's
own affairs;

         (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, consent, order, approval, bond,
debenture, coupon or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do
so by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities affected thereby; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is,
in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so
proceeding; 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
(including any Authenticating Agent) or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or
attorney appointed by it with due care.

     SECTION 6.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc.
                   -----------------------------------

         The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities (except in the
certificate of authentication of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) shall
be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee and the
Authenticating Agent assume no responsibility for the correctness of the same.
The Trustee and the Authenticating Agent make no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities. The Trustee
and the Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Company of any Debt Securities or the proceeds of any Debt Securities
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

     SECTION 6.04. Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paving Agents, Transfer Agents
or Registrar May Own Debt Securities.

         The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent or any Paying Agent or any
transfer agent or any Debt Security registrar, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
transfer agent or Debt Security registrar.

     SECTION 6.05. Moneys to be Held in Trust.
                   --------------------------

         Subject to the provisions of Section 12.04, all moneys received by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be
held in trust for the purpose for which they were received, but need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
and any Paying Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
interest allowed on any such moneys, if any, shall be paid from time to time to
the Company upon the written order of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the
Board of Directors, the President, the Chief Operating Officer, a Vice
President, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company.

     SECTION 6.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.
                   ------------------------------------

         Other than as provided in the Fee Agreement of even date herewith, the
Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as shall be agreed to in writing
between the Company and the Trustee (which shall not be limited by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and the
Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its written request for all
documented reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance that arises from its
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company also covenants to
indemnify each of the Trustee (including in its individual capacity) and any
predecessor Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and
to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or
expense including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee),
except to the extent such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense results from
the negligence, willful misconduct

                                       63
<PAGE>

or bad faith of such indemnitee, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this Trust, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in the premises. The obligations
of the Company under this Section 6.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee
and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for documented expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional
indebtedness shall be secured by (and the Company hereby grants and pledges to
the Trustee) a lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for
the benefit of the holders of particular Debt Securities.

         Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under
applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with an Event of Default specified in subsections (d), (e) or (f) of
Section 5.01, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its
counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law.

         The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal
of the Trustee and the defeasance or other termination of this Indenture.

     SECTION 6.07. Officers' Certificate as Evidence.
                   ---------------------------------

         Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture
upon the faith thereof.

     SECTION 6.08. Eligibility of Trustee.
                   ----------------------

         The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a U.S. Person that is a
banking corporation or national association organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or of the District
of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million U.S. dollars
($50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state, or
District of Columbia authority. If such corporation or national association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 6.08 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or national association shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent records of condition so published.

         The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as
Trustee, notwithstanding that such corporation or national association

                                       64
<PAGE>

shall be otherwise eligible and qualified under this Article.

         In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.08, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.09.

         If the Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within
the meaning of ss. 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by,
and subject to this Indenture.

     SECTION 6.09. Resignation or Removal of Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paving
Agent or Debt Security Registrar.

         (a)      The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed,
the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent and any Debt Security Registrar may at
any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and
by mailing notice thereof, at the Company's expense, to the holders of the Debt
Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debt Security
Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly
appoint a successor or successors by written instrument, in duplicate, executed
by order of its Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning party and one copy to the successor. If no successor
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the mailing of such notice of resignation to the affected Securityholders, the
resigning party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide
holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities for at least six months may,
subject to the provisions of Section 5.09, on behalf of himself or herself and
all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a
successor. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, appoint a successor,

         (b)      In case at any time any of the following shall occur -

                  (1)      the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions
         of the last paragraph of Section 6.08 after written request therefor by
         the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of
         a Debt Security or Debt Securities for at least six months,

                  (2)      the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
         with the provisions of Section 6.08 and shall fail to resign after
         written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder,
         or

                  (3)      the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
         shall be adjudged 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, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the
Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the

                                       65
<PAGE>

Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.09, if no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed
and have accepted appointment within 30 days of the occurrence of any of (1),
(2) or (3) above, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debt
Security or Debt Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of himself or
herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee.

         (c)      Upon prior written notice to the Company and the Trustee, the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at
the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor
Trustee, which shall be deemed appointed as successor Trustee unless within ten
Business Days after such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case
or in the case of a failure by such holders to nominate a successor Trustee, the
Trustee so removed or any Securityholder, upon the terms and conditions and
otherwise as in subsection (a) of this Section 6.09 provided, may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor.

         (d)     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Calculation
Agent, the Paying Agent and any Debt Security Registrar and appointment of a
successor pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.09 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor as provided in Section
6.10.

     SECTION 6.10. Acceptance by Successor.
                   -----------------------

         Any successor Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent or Debt Security
Registrar appointed as provided in Section 6.09 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and to its predecessor an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
party shall become effective and such successor, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of its predecessor hereunder,
with like effect as if originally named herein; but, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Company or of the successor, the party ceasing to act
shall, upon payment of the amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
all the rights and powers of the party so ceasing to act and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor all property and money held by such
retiring party hereunder. Upon request of any such successor, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting
in and confirming to such successor all such rights and powers. Any party
ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds
held or collected to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions
of Section 6.06.

         If a successor Trustee is appointed, the Company, the retiring Trustee
and the successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental
hereto which 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 Debt Securities as to which the predecessor
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee,
and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this hidenture as shall be


                                       66
<PAGE>

necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust 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.

         No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 6.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible and qualified under the provisions of Section 6.08.

         In no event shall a retiring Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent
or Debt Security Registrar be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor
hereunder.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee, Calculation
Agent, Paying Agent or Debt Security Registrar as provided in this Section 6.10,
the Company shall mail notice of the succession to the holders of Debt
Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debt Security
Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten Business Days
after the acceptance of appointment by the successor, the successor shall cause
such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

     SECTION6.il. Succession by Merger, etc.
                  -------------------------

         Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto; provided, that such Person shall be otherwise eligible and qualified
under this Article.

         In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this hidenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt
Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities
shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate
such Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the
name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall
have the full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this
Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided,
however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or authenticate Debt Securities in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger,
conversion or consolidation.

     SECTION 6.12. Authenticating Agents.
                   ---------------------

         There may be one or more Authenticating Agents appointed by the Trustee
upon the request of the Company with power to act on its behalf and subject to
its direction in the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities issued upon
exchange or registration of transfer thereof as fully to all intents and
purposes as though any such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized

                                       67
<PAGE>

to authenticate and deliver Debt Securities; provided, that the Trustee shall
have no liability to the Company for any acts or omissions of the Authenticating
Agent with respect to the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities. Any
such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a Person organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or of any state or territory
thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by federal, state,
territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such Person publishes reports
of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.12 the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect herein specified in this Section.

         Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such
Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor Person is otherwise eligible
under this Section 6.12 without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent.

         Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent with respect to the Debt
Securities by giving written notice of termination 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 any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible under this Section 6.12, the Trustee may, and upon the request of the
Company shall, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under
this Section 6.12, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company
and shall mail notice of such appointment to all holders of Debt Securities as
the names and addresses of such holders appear on the Debt Security Register.
Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities with
respect to the Debt Securities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein.

         Other than as provided in the Fee Agreement of even date herewith, the
Company agrees to pay to any Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. Any Authenticating Agent shall have no
responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such in accordance
with the directions of the Trustee and shall receive such reasonable indemnity
as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in
furtherance of its duties under this Section 6.12.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

     SECTION 7.01. Action by Securityholders.
                   -------------------------

         Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a
specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities or
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities may take any action
(including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice,
consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time
of taking any such action the holders of such specified percentage have joined
therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of
similar tenor executed by such Securityholders or holders of Capital Securities,
as the case may be, in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b)
by the record of such holders of Debt Securities voting in favor thereof at any
meeting of such Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the
provisions of Article VIII, or of such holders of Capital Securities duly called
and held in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration, or (c) by a
combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a
meeting of such Securityholders, or holders of Capital Securities, as the case
may be, or (d) by any other method the Trustee deems satisfactory.

         If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or
revocation of the same, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such Debt Securities for
the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation
of the same, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record
date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action or revocation of the same may be given before or after
the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business
on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of
determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of outstanding
Debt Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation
of the same, and for that purpose the outstanding Debt Securities shall be
computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization,
agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

     SECTION 7.02. Proof of Execution by Securityholders.
                   -------------------------------------

         Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 8.05, proof of the
execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or such Securityholder's agent
or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules
and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Debt Securities shall be proved
by the Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Debt Security
Registrar. The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred
to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.

                                       69
<PAGE>

         The record of any Securityholders' meeting shall be proved in the
manner provided in Section 8.06.

     SECTION 7.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners.
                   ------------------------------

         Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt
Security, the Company, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent,
any transfer agent and any Debt Security registrar may deem the Person in whose
name such Debt Security shall be registered upon the Debt Security Register to
be, and may treat such Person as, the absolute owner of such Debt Security
(whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue) for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such Debt Security and for all other purposes; and neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor
any transfer agent nor any Debt Security registrar shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time
being or upon such holder's order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys
payable upon any such Debt Security.

     SECTION 7.04. Debt Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding.
                   -------------------------------------------------------

         In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Debt Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver
under this Indenture, Debt Securities which are owned by the Company or any
other obligor on the Debt Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company (other than the Trust) or any other obligor on the Debt Securities shall
be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination; provided, that for the purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver,
only Debt Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debt Securities so owned which have been
pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this
Section 7.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee
the pledgee's right to vote such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not the
Company or any such other obligor or Person directly or indirectly controlling
or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or
any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision
by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the
Trustee.

     SECTION 7.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Securityholders Bound.
                   ----------------------------------------------------

         At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities specified in
this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder (in cases where no
record date has been set pursuant to Section 7.01) or any holder as of an
applicable record date (in cases where a record date has been set pursuant to
Section 7.01) of a Debt Security (or any Debt Security issued in whole or in
part in exchange or substitution therefor) the serial number of which is shown
by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the holders of which have
consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at the
Principal Office of the Trustee and upon proof of holding as provided in

                                       70
<PAGE>

Section 7.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security (or so
far as concerns the principal amount represented by any exchanged or substituted
Debt Security). Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any
Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all
future holders and owners of such Debt Security, and of any Debt Security issued
in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof,
irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such
Debt Security or any Debt Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

Securities under any other provision of this Indenture or under applicable law.

     SECTION 8.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee.
                   ---------------------------

         The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Securityholders to take
any action specified in Section 8.01, to be held at such time and at such place
in New York or Wilmington, Delaware, as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of
every meeting of the Securityholders, setting forth the time and the place of
such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such
meeting, shall be mailed to holders of Debt Securities affected at their

     SECTION 8.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Securitvholders.
                   ----------------------------------------------

holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities, as
the case may be, then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a
meeting of Securityholders, by written request setting forth in reasonable
detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall

                                       71
<PAGE>

not have mailed the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such
request, then the Company or such Securityholders may determine the time and the
place in for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action
authorized in Section 8.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section
8.02.

     SECTION 8.04. Qualifications for Voting.
                   -------------------------

         To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders a Person shall
be (a) a holder of one or more Debt Securities with respect to which the meeting
is being held or (b) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may
make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of

appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of
inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and
other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the
conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate.

         The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary

challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not
outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than
by virtue of Debt Securities held by such chairman or instruments in writing as
aforesaid duly designating such chairman as the Person to vote on behalf of
other Securityholders. Any meeting of Securityholders duly called pursuant to
the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 may be adjourned from time to time by a
majority of those present, whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting
may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

     SECTION 8.06. Voting.
                   ------

         The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of holders of
Debt Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held shall be by
written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of such holders or
of their representatives by proxy and the serial number or numbers of the Debt
Securities held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting


                                       72
<PAGE>

shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all
votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each
meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and
there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of
votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons
having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting
and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 8.02. The record
shall show the serial numbers of the Debt Securities voting in favor of or
against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the
duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted
at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.

     SECTION 8.07. Quorum; Actions.
                   ---------------

         The Persons entitled to vote a majority in outstanding principal amount
of the Debt Securities shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of
Securityholders; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such
meeting with respect to a consent, waiver, request, demand, notice,
authorization, direction or other action which may be given by the holders of
not less than a specified percentage in outstanding principal amount of the Debt
Securities, the Persons holding or representing such specified percentage in
outstanding principal amount of the Debt Securities will constitute a quorum. In
the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such
meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Securityholders, be
dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not
less than 10 days as determined by the permanent chairman of the meeting prior
to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such
adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period
of not less than 10 days as determined by the permanent chairman of the meeting
prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of
any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 8.02, except that
such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on
which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an
adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of
the outstanding principal amount of the Debt Securities which shall constitute a
quorum.

         Except as limited by the proviso in the first paragraph of Section
9.02, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened
at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted by the affirmative vote
of the holders of not less than a majority in outstanding principal amount of
the Debt Securities; provided, however, that, except as limited by the proviso
in the first paragraph of Section 9.02, any resolution with respect to any
consent, waiver, request, demand, notice, authorization, direction or other
action that this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the holders of not
less than a specified percentage in outstanding principal amount of the Debt
Securities may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened
and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid only by the affirmative vote of
the holders of not less than such specified percentage in outstanding principal
amount of the Debt Securities.

                                       73
<PAGE>

         Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of
Debt Securities duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on
all the Securityholders, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

     SECTION 8.08. Written Consent Without a Meeting.
                   ---------------------------------

         Whenever under this Indenture, Securityholders are required or
permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting
on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the
Securityholders of all outstanding Debt Securities entitled to vote thereon. No
consent shall be effective to take the action referred to therein unless, within
sixty days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by
this paragraph to the Trustee, written consents signed by a sufficient number of
Securityholders to take action are delivered to the Trustee at its Principal
Office. Delivery made to the Trustee at its Principal Office, shall be by hand
or by certificated or registered mail, return receipt requested. Written consent
thus given by the Securityholders of such number of Debt Securities as is
required hereunder, shall have the same effect as a valid vote of
Securityholders of such number of Debt Securities.

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     SECTION 9.01. Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Securityholders.
                   ----------------------------------------------------------

         The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may
from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto, without the consent of the Securityholders, for one or more
of the following purposes:

         (a)      to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company,
or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the
covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company, pursuant to Article XI
hereof;

         (b)      to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants,
restrictions or conditions for the protection of the holders of Debt Securities
as the Board of Directors shall consider to be for the protection of the holders
of such Debt Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and
continuance, of a Default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions or
conditions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or
any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth;
provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction
or condition such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of
grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in
the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon
such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such
default;

         (c)      to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any
supplemental indenture, or to make or amend such other provisions in

                                       74
<PAGE>


regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture; provided, that any
such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debt
Securities;

         (d)      to add to, delete from, or revise the terms of Debt
Securities, including, without limitation, any terms relating to the issuance,
exchange, registration or transfer of Debt Securities, including to provide for
transfer procedures and restrictions substantially similar to those applicable
to the Capital Securities, as required by Section 2.05 (for purposes of assuring
that no registration of Debt Securities is required under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended); provided, that any such action shall not adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Debt Securities then outstanding (it being
understood, for purposes of this proviso, that transfer restrictions on Debt
Securities substantially similar to those applicable to Capital Securities shall
not be deemed to adversely affect the holders of the Debt Securities);

         (e)      to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities and to 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.10;

         (f)      to make any change (other than as elsewhere provided in this
paragraph) that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in
any material respect; or

         (g)      to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and
terms and conditions of the Debt Securities, to establish the form of any
certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture
or the Debt Securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of Debt
Securities.

         The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the
conveyance, transfer and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee
shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any such
supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

         Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the
holders of any of the Debt Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding
any of the provisions of Section 9.02.

     SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders.
                   -------------------------------------------------------

         With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 7.01) of the holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities
at the time outstanding affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as a
class), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may
from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, then in effect, applicable to indentures qualified thereunder)
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental
indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debt
Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall without
such consent of the holders of each Debt Security then outstanding and affected

                                       75
<PAGE>

thereby (i) extend the Maturity Date of any Debt Security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce the rate (or manner
of calculation of the rate) or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
or reduce (other than as a result of the maturity or earlier redemption of any
such Debt Security in accordance with the terms of this hidenture and such Debt
Security) or increase the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities then
outstanding, or change any of the redemption provisions, or make the principal
thereof or any interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other
than United States Dollars, or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder
to institute suit for payment thereof or impair the right of repayment, if any,
at the option of the holder, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt
Securities the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental
indenture; and provided, further, that if the Debt Securities are held by the
Trust or a trustee of such trust, such supplemental indenture shall not be
effective until the holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
outstanding Capital Securities shall have consented to such supplemental
indenture; provided, further, that if the consent of the Securityholder of each
outstanding Debt Security is required, such supplemental indenture shall not be
effective until each holder of the outstanding Capital Securities shall have
consented to such supplemental indenture.

         Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders (and
holders of Capital Securities, if required) as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join
with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such
supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental
indenture.

         Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, prepared by the
Company, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental
indenture, to the Securityholders as their names and addresses appear upon the
Debt Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of
any such supplemental indenture.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under
this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.

     SECTION 9.03. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.
                   ---------------------------------

         Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article IX, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this hidenture
of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Debt Securities shall thereafter
be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

     SECTION 9.04. Notation on Debt Securities.
                   ---------------------------

         Debt Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX may bear a
notation as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Debt Securities so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent and delivered in exchange for the Debt Securities then
outstanding.

     SECTION 9.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to be
furnished to Trustee.

         The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02,
shall, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.06, receive an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any
supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements
of this Article IX. The Trustee shall receive an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article IX is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this
Article IX and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this
Article IX to join in the execution thereof.

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 10.01. Optional Redemption.
                    -------------------

         At any time the Company shall have the right, subject to the receipt by
the Company of prior approval from any regulatory authority with jurisdiction
over the Company if such approval is then required under applicable capital
guidelines or policies of such regulatory authority, to redeem the Debt
Securities, in whole or (provided that all accrued and unpaid interest has been
paid on all Debt Securities for all Interest Payment Periods terminating on or
prior to such date) from time to time in part, on any January 7, April 7, July 7
or October 7 on or after October 7, 2011 (the "Redemption Date"), at the
Redemption Price.

     SECTION 10.02. Special Event Redemption.
                    ------------------------

         If a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company shall
have the right, subject to the receipt by the Company of prior approval from any
regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Company if such approval is then
required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of such regulatory
authority, to redeem the Debt Securities, in whole or in part, at any time
within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event (the "Special
Redemption Date"), at the Special Redemption Price.

                                       77
<PAGE>

     SECTION 10.03. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities.
                    --------------------------------------------------

         In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all,
or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities, it shall fix a date for
redemption and shall mail, or cause the Trustee to mail (at the expense of the
Company) a notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of Debt Securities so to be
redeemed as a whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the
Debt Security Register. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice if
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure
to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any
Debt Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security.

         Each such notice of redemption shall specify the CUSIP number, if any,
of the Debt Securities to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the
redemption price (or manner of calculation of the price) at which Debt
Securities are to be redeemed, the place or places of payment, that payment will
be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said
notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions
thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Debt
Securities are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the numbers
of the Debt Securities to be redeemed. In case the Debt Securities are to be
redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the
date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued.

         Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date or the
Special Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided
in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more
Paying Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all
the Debt Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption
price, together with unpaid interest accrued to such date.

         The Company will give the Trustee notice not less than 45 nor more than
60 days prior to the Redemption Date as to the Redemption Price at which the
Debt Securities are to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Debt
Securities to be redeemed and the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its
sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities or
portions thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed.

     SECTION 10.04. Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption.
                    ------------------------------------------------

         If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 10.03,
the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities with respect to which such
notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date or the
Special Redemption Date (as the case may be) and at the place or places stated
in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said Redemption Date
or the Special Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment
of such Debt Securities at the redemption price, together with unpaid interest
accrued thereon to said date) interest on the Debt Securities or portions

                                       78
<PAGE>

of Debt Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On
presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at a place of payment
specified in said notice, such Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof
shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price,
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date or the
Special Redemption Date (as the case may be).

         Upon presentation of any Debt Security redeemed in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities of authorized denominations in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debt Security so presented.

prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation or corporations (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or
successive consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or
successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property or
capital stock of the Company or its successor or successors, to any other
corporation (whether or not affiliated with the Company, or its successor or
successors) authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, that
the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, (i)upon any such consolidation,
merger (where the Company is not the surviving corporation), sale, conveyance,
transfer or other disposition, the successor entity shall be a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof
or the District of Columbia (unless such corporation has (1) agreed to make all
payments due in respect of the Debt Securities or, if outstanding, the Capital
Securities and Capital Securities Guarantee without withholding or deduction
for, or on account of, any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental
charges under the laws or regulations of the jurisdiction of organization or
residence (for tax purposes) of such corporation or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein unless required by applicable law, in which
case such corporation shall have agreed to pay such additional amounts as shall
be required so that the net amounts received and retained by the holders of such
Debt Securities or Capital Securities, as the case may be, after payment of all
taxes (including withholding taxes), duties, assessments or other governmental
charges, will be equal to the amounts that such holders would have received and
retained had no such taxes (including withholding taxes), duties, assessments or
other governmental charges been imposed, (2) irrevocably and unconditionally
consented and submitted to the jurisdiction of any United States federal court
or New York state court, in each case located in The City of New York, Borough
of Manhattan, in respect of any action, suit or proceeding against it arising
out of or in connection with this indenture, the Debt Securities, the Capital
Securities Guarantee or the Declaration and irrevocably and unconditionally
waived, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to the laying of
venue in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding has been
brought in an inconvenient forum and (3) irrevocably appointed an agent in The
City of New York for service of process in any action, suit or proceeding

                                       79

referred to in clause (2) above) and such corporation expressly assumes all of
the obligations of the Company under the Debt Securities, this Indenture, the
Capital Securities Guarantee and the Declaration and (ii) after giving effect to
any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition,
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     SECTION 11.02. Successor Entity to be Substituted.
                    ----------------------------------

         In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer

the successor entity, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and
punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of
the Debt Securities and the due and punctual performance and observance of all
of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by
the Company, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the
Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company, and
thereupon the predecessor entity shall be relieved of any further liability or
obligation hereunder or upon the Debt Securities. Such successor entity
thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the
name of the Company, any or all of the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent; and, upon the order of such successor
entity instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and
limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall
have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company, to the Trustee or
the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and any Debt Securities which such
successor entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for that purpose. All the Debt Securities so
issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Debt Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Debt Securities had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof.

receive, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 9.05, an
Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any consolidation, merger, sale,
conveyance, transfer or other disposition, and any assumption, permitted or
required by the terms of this Article XI complies with the provisions of this
Article XL

the Debt Securities not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become
due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one
year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, funds,
which shall be immediately due and payable, sufficient to pay at maturity or

may be, but excluding, however, the amount of any moneys for the payment of
principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities (1)
theretofore repaid to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section
12.04, or (2) paid to any state or to the District of Columbia pursuant to its
unclaimed property or similar laws, and if in the case of either clause (a) or
clause (b) the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further
effect except for the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06, 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 6.06,
6.09 and 12.04 hereof, which shall survive until such Debt Securities shall

     SECTION 14.12. Acknowledgment of Rights.
                    ------------------------

                  The Company acknowledges that, with respect to any Debt
Securities held by the Trust or the Institutional Trustee of the Trust, if the
Institutional Trustee of the Trust fails to enforce its rights under this
Indenture as the holder of Debt Securities held as the assets of the Trust after
the holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of the
Trust have so directed in writing such Institutional Trustee, a holder of record
of such Capital Securities may to the fullest extent permitted by law institute
legal proceedings directly against the Company to enforce such Institutional
Trustee's rights under this Indenture without first instituting any legal
proceedings against such Institutional Trustee or any other Person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay
interest (or premium, if any) or principal on the Debt Securities on the date
such interest (or premium, if any) or principal is otherwise due and payable (or
in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the Company acknowledges
that a holder of record of Capital Securities of the Trust may directly
institute a proceeding against the Company for enforcement of payment to such
holder directly of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Debt
Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such holder on or after the
respective due date specified in the Debt Securities.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                        SUBORDINATION OF DEBT SECURITIES

     SECTION 15.01. Agreement to Subordinate.
                    ------------------------

         The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of Debt Securities
issued hereunder and under any supplemental indenture (the "Additional
Provisions") by such Securityholder's acceptance thereof likewise covenants and
agrees, that all Debt Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of
this Article XV; and each holder of a Debt Security, whether upon original issue
or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such
provisions.

         The payment by the Company of the payments due on all Debt Securities
issued hereunder and under any Additional Provisions shall, to the extent and in
the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment
to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether
outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

         No provision of this Article XV shall prevent the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default hereunder.

     SECTION 15.02. Default on Senior Indebtedness.
                    ------------------------------

         In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company
in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any
Senior Indebtedness of the Company following any applicable grace period, or in
the event that the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company has been
accelerated because of a default, and such acceleration has not been rescinded

                                       85
<PAGE>

or canceled and such Senior Indebtedness has not been paid in full, then, in
either case, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the
payments due on the Debt Securities.

         In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be
received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the preceding
paragraph of this Section 15.02, such payment shall, subject to Section 15.06,
be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the
trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but
only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their
representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing
within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the Senior
Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall
be paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

     SECTION 15.03. Liquidation: Dissolution; Bankruptcy.
                    ------------------------------------

         Upon any payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of
the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due upon all Senior Indebtedness
of the Company shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in
money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made by the Company on
the Debt Securities; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation
or reorganization, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
which the Securityholders or the Trustee would be entitled to receive from the
Company, except for the provisions of this Article XV, shall be paid by the
Company, or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent
or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Securityholders
or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (pro rata to such holders on
the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders,
as calculated by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to
the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments
evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in
full, in money or money's worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment
or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any
payment or distribution is made to the Securityholders.

         In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the
Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, or
provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such
payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be
paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness
may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by
the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of

                                       86
<PAGE>

the Company remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior
Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect
to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness.

         For purposes of this Article XV, the words "cash, property or
securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which
is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article XV with respect
to the Debt Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company,
that may at the time be outstanding, provided, that (a) such Senior Indebtedness
is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such
reorganization or readjustment, and (b) the rights of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such
reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the
merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer or other
disposition of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to
another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article XI of
this Indenture shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or
reorganization for the purposes of this Section 15.03 if such other corporation
shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply
with the conditions stated in Article XI of this Indenture. Nothing in Section
15.02 or in this Section 15.03 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.06 of this Indenture.

     SECTION 15.04. Subrogation.
                    -----------

         Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Company, the Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property
or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until all
payments due on the Debt Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes
of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Securityholders or
the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XV, and
no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XV to or for the
benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Securityholders or the
Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the holders of the Debt Securities be
deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of such
Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article XV are
and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the
holders of the Debt Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, on the other hand.

         Nothing contained in this Article XV or elsewhere in this Indenture,
any Additional Provisions or in the Debt Securities is intended to or shall
impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, and the holders of the Debt Securities, the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the
holders of the Debt Securities all payments on the Debt Securities as and when
the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holders of the Debt
Securities and creditors of the Company, other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the

                                       87
<PAGE>

Trustee or the holder of any Debt Security from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject
to the rights, if any, under this Article XV of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received
upon the exercise of any such remedy.

         Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article XV, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VI of this
Indenture, and the Securityholders shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending,
or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee,
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the
Trustee or to the Securityholders, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons
entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of 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 XV.

     SECTION 15.05. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
                    -----------------------------------

         Each Securityholder by such Securityholder's acceptance thereof
authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Securityholder's behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article XV and appoints the Trustee such Securityholder's
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     SECTION 15.06. Notice by the Company.
                    ---------------------

         The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee at the Principal Office of the Trustee of any fact known to the
Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Debt Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
Article XV. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XV or any other
provision of this Indenture or any Additional Provisions, the Trustee shall not
be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the
making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debt
Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article XV, unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Principal Office of the Trustee shall
have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of
Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any
such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VI of
this Indenture, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts
exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
provided for in this Section 15.06 at least two Business Days prior to the date
upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on any Debt Security), then, anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which they were
received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be
received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

         The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VI of this Indenture,
shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice
by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior


                                       88
<PAGE>

Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such
holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior
Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or
holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further
evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this Article XV, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior
Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the
rights of such Person under this Article XV, and, if such evidence is not
furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial
determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

     SECTION 15.07. Rights of the Trustee, Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
                    -----------------------------------------------------

         The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article XV 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 or any Additional Provisions shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

         With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XV, and no implied
covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
shall be read into this Indenture or any Additional Provisions against the
Trustee. The Trustee shall not owe or be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Article VI
of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior
Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Securityholders, the Company or
any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XV or otherwise.

         Nothing in this Article XV shall apply to claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.06.

     SECTION 15.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired.
                    ---------------------------------

         No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of
the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any
way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Company, or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or
by any noncompliance by the Company, with the terms, provisions and covenants of
this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may
have or otherwise be charged with.

         Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time and from time
to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Securityholders,
without incurring responsibility to the Securityholders and without impairing or
releasing the subordination provided in this Article XV or the obligations
