"Trustee"), having its Corporate Trust Office at 101 Barclay Street, New York,
New York 10286.

                    RECITALS OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTOR

                  The Company deems it necessary to issue from time to time
senior debt securities (the "Securities") evidencing its unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness, which may or may not be convertible into or
exchangeable for any securities of any Person (including the Company) and which
may or may not be guaranteed by the Guarantor, and has duly authorized the
execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance from time
to time of the Securities, to be issued in one or more series, unlimited as to
principal amount, to bear such rates of interest, to mature at such times and to
have such other provisions as provided in this Indenture.

                  The Guarantor desires with respect to Securities of certain
series issued under this Indenture to make the Guarantees provided for herein.

                  This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), that are required to be part of
this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such
provisions.

                  All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid and
legally binding agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have
been done.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

                  For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of
the Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for
the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities and
coupons, or of a series thereof, as follows:

In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a
penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of the net amount determined
assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which
case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty,

                  "Voting Stock" means stock of the class or classes having

of whether or not at the time stock of any other class or classes shall have or

                  "Yield to Maturity" means the yield to maturity, computed at

                  SECTION 102. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Except as
otherwise expressly provided by this Indenture, upon any application or request
by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under any
provision of this Indenture (other than in

                                       12
<PAGE>

connection with the delivery of any Security offered in a Periodic Offering to
the Trustee for authentication pursuant to Section 303), the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion
of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such
application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

                  Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than pursuant to
Section 1008) shall include:

                  (1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate
         or opinion has read such condition or covenant and the definitions
         herein relating thereto;

                  (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
         examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
         contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

                  (3) a statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he or
         she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
         enable such individual to express an informed opinion as to whether or
         not such condition or covenant has been complied with; and

                  (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
         individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

                  SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to
other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such
matters in one or several documents.

                  Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company or the
Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion
of Counsel, or a certificate or representations by counsel, unless such officer
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the opinion,
certificate or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such Opinion of Counsel or
certificate or representations may be based, insofar as it relates to factual
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or
officers of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, stating that the
information as to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or
the Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise
of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations as to such matters are erroneous.

                  Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated
and form one instrument.

                  SECTION 104. Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of
all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. If Securities of
a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be
embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series
voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in
writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and
held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of
such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company or the Guarantor or to all of them. Such instrument or
instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or
of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose
of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if
made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of
Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1606.

                  (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his
individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same,
may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems reasonably
sufficient.

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

                  (d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the
production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as
depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever
situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory,
showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such
depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such
facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such
Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to
be satisfactory. The Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor may assume that such
ownership of any Bearer Security continues until

                                       14
<PAGE>

(1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of
the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to
the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in
exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer
Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other
manner that the Trustee deems reasonably sufficient.

                  (e) If the Company or the Guarantor shall solicit from the
Holders of Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance
a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have no obligation to do so.
Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not
earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation
is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding
Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that
purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date;
provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such
record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the
record date.

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

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

                  (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or the
         Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made,
         given, furnished, filed or mailed, first class postage prepaid, in
         writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

                  (2) the Company or the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any
         Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless
         otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
         first-class postage prepaid, to the Company or the Guarantor, as the
         case may be, addressed to it at the address of its principal office
         specified in the first

                                       15
<PAGE>

         paragraph of this Indenture, to the attention of its Secretary, or at
         any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
         Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

                  SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities
pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice of any event
to Holders of Registered Securities by the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his
address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date,
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be
conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such
Holder actually receives such notice.

                  If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give
such notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification
to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the
Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every
purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency
of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein.

                  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise
specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this
Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in
The City of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in
such Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first
such publication.

                  If by reason of the suspension of publication of any
Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as
provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall
be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to
such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by
publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in
any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice
to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

                  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent
or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English
language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the
country of publication.

<PAGE>

                  Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.

                  SECTION 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

                  SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.

                  SECTION 109. Separability Clause. In case any provision in
this Indenture or in any Security, any Guarantee or coupon shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                  SECTION 110. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture
or in the Securities, the Guarantees or coupons, express or implied, shall give
to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying
Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders
any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture.

                  SECTION 111. Governing Law. This Indenture, the Securities,
the coupons and, if issued, the Guarantees, shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and
shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.

                  SECTION 112. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated
Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any
Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series which
specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section),
payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, need not be made
at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made
on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund
payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest
shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment
date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

                  SECTION 113. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company and, if
any Guarantees are issued and, the Guarantor, each hereby irrevocably submit to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in
The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
the Indenture, the Securities of any series or, with

                                       17
<PAGE>

respect to the Guarantor, the Guarantees, and the Company and the Guarantor
hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. The Company
and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may
effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding.

                                  ARTICLE TWO

                                SECURITIES FORMS

if any, of each series, the Bearer Securities, if any, of each series and
related coupons, the temporary global Securities of each series, if any, and the
permanent global Securities of each series, if any, and the Guarantees, if any,
to be endorsed thereon shall be in substantially the forms as shall be
established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time
to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company or, in the case of
the Guarantees, the Guarantor, in accordance with Section 301, shall have such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto,
and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or
designation and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company or
the Guarantor, as the case may be, may deem appropriate and as are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to
comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with
any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, or to conform to usage.

                  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
Bearer Securities shall have interest coupons attached.

                  The definitive Securities and coupons, if any, including the
Guarantees, if any, shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by
any combination of these methods on a steel engraved border or steel engraved
borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the
officers executing such Securities, Guarantees or coupons, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities, Guarantees or coupons.

                  SECTION 202. Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.
Subject to Section 612, the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in
substantially the following form:

                  This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

                                         The Bank of New York,
                                                  as Trustee


                                         By:
                                            ------------------------------------

<PAGE>

                  SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form. If Securities
of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated
by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 301 and the
provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the
Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may
provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities
of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount
of Outstanding Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to
time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a
Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in
the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the
Trustee or the Security Registrar in such manner and upon instructions given by
such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to
be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304. Subject to the
provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee or the
Security Registrar shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global
form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons
specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order
pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery
of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with
Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

                  The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply
to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was
never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee or
the Security Registrar the Security in global form together with written
instructions (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount
of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement
contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 201 and Section 307,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security in permanent
global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as
provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Guarantor (if Guarantees
are issued), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if
Guarantees are issued), and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such
principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global
Security (i) in the case of a permanent global Security in registered form, the
Holder of such permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case
of a permanent global Security in bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream.

aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

hereto, prior to the issuance of Securities of any series, any or all of the
following, as applicable (each of which (except for the matters set forth in

issued from time to time):

         Securities of the series that may be authenticated and delivered under
         this Indenture (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon
         registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other
         Securities of the series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107
         or 1405) and except for any Securities which, pursuant to Section 303,
         are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder);

                  (3) the date or dates, or the method by which such date or
         dates will be determined or extended, on which the principal of the

         shall bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate or rates
         shall be determined, the date or dates from which any such interest
         shall accrue or the method by which any such date or dates shall be
         determined, the Interest Payment Dates on which any such interest will
         be payable and the Regular Record Date, if any, for any interest
         payable on any Registered Security on any Interest Payment Date, or the
         method by which such date or dates shall be determined, and the basis
         upon which such interest shall be calculated if other than that of a
         360-day year of twelve 30-day months;

                  (5) the place or places, if any, other than or in addition to
         the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where the principal of

         shall be payable (which in the case of Euro Securities shall be outside
         the United States), any Registered Securities of the series may be
         surrendered for registration of transfer, Securities of the series may
         be surrendered for exchange, where Securities of that series that are

         Registered Securities, Bearer Securities (with or without coupons) or
         both, any restrictions applicable to the offer, sale or delivery of
         Bearer Securities and the terms upon which Bearer Securities of the
         series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the series and
         vice versa (if permitted by applicable laws and regulations), whether
         any Securities of the series are to be issuable initially in temporary
         global form with or without coupons and whether any Securities of the
         series are to be issuable in permanent global form with or without
         coupons and, if so, whether beneficial owners of interests in any such

         such series and of like tenor of any authorized form and denomination
         and the circumstances under which any such exchanges may occur, if
         other than in the manner provided in Section 305, whether Registered

         in addition to or in lieu of any of the provisions of Article Fifteen;

                  (20) if the Securities of such series are to be issuable in

         temporary Security of such series) only upon receipt of certain
         certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other conditions,
         then the form and/or terms of such certificates, documents or
         conditions;

                  (21) whether, under what circumstances and the Currency in
         which, the Company will pay Additional Amounts as contemplated by
         Section 1007 on the Securities of the series to any Holder who is a
         non-United States Person (including any modification to the definition
         of such term) in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge
         and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such
         Securities rather than pay such Additional Amounts (and the terms of
         any such option);

                  (22) the designation of the initial Exchange Rate Agent, if
         any;

                  (23) if the Securities of the series are to be issued upon the
         exercise of warrants, the time, manner and place for such Securities to
         be authenticated and delivered;

                  (24) if the Securities of the series are to be convertible

         Company), the terms and conditions upon which such Securities will be
         so convertible or exchangeable;

                  (25) if Securities of or within the series are to be
         Guaranteed by the Guarantor and any modification of the terms of the
         Guarantees as set forth in Article 13 hereof; and

                  (26) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be
         inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture or the requirements
         of the Trust Indenture Act) at which the Securities will be issued and
         any modification of the definitions set forth herein.

                  All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining
to any Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except,
in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may
otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above
(subject to Section 303) and set forth in the Officer's Certificate referred to
above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. Not all Securities of any
one series need be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a
series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of
additional Securities of such series.

                  If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are
established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of
an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior
to the delivery of the Officer's Certificate setting forth the terms of the
Securities of such series.

                                       23
<PAGE>

                  With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, the Board Resolution (or action taken pursuant thereto), Officer's
Certificate or supplemental indenture referred to above may provide general
terms or parameter for Securities of such series and provide either that the
specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a
Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Company in
accordance with other procedures specified in a Company Order as contemplated by
the third paragraph of Section 303.

                  SECTION 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series
shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in
the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series,
the Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered Securities
issued in global form (which may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer
Securities of such series, other than Bearer Securities issued in global form
(which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in a denomination of
$5,000.

                  SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf
of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the
Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, or its President or one of
its Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents or by its Treasurer or one of
its Assistant Treasurers, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant
Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities or coupons
may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such
authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Securities.

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

                  At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series,
together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company and (if
Securities of such series were specified as contemplated by Section 301 to be
Guaranteed by the Guarantor) having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by
the Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order
for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities; provided, however, that, in the case of Securities offered in a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities
from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without
limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from
the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing)
acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order
delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of
Securities of such series; provided further, however, that, in connection with
its original issuance, no Euro Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered
to any location in the United States; and provided further that, unless
otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section
301, a Euro

                                       24
<PAGE>

Security (other than a Security in temporary global form) may be delivered in
connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to physical
delivery of such Euro Security (which, in case of a Euro Security to be received
in exchange for all or a portion of a Security in temporary global form, shall
be the account holder with Euroclear or Clearstream to whose account all or such
portion of such Security in temporary global form has been credited) shall have
furnished a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture
(or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no
earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date. If any Security shall be
represented by a permanent global Security, then, for purposes of this Section
and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon
original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary
global Security shall be deemed to be physical delivery in connection with its
original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global
Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate
and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then
matured have been detached and cancelled. If not all the Securities of any
series are to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental
indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set
forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities
and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as
interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest
shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through
315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel stating,

                  (a) that the form or forms of such Securities and any such
         Guarantees to be endorsed thereon and any coupons have been established
         in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

                  (b) that the terms of such Securities and any coupons have
         been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
         Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of
         this Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered
         in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
         Counsel; and

                  (c) that such Securities, together with any Guarantees
         endorsed thereon and any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed
         by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to
         the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture,
         authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this
         Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
         conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal,
         valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor,
         respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
         applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar
         laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement
         of creditors' rights, to general equitable principles and to such other
         qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect
         the rights of Holders of such Securities, such Guarantees and any
         coupons.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and the two
preceding paragraphs, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued
at one time, it shall not be necessary to

                                       25
<PAGE>

deliver an Officer's Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or
the Company Order, Opinion of Counsel or Officer's Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to such preceding paragraphs at the time of issuance of each
Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with
appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at
or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.

                  If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee
shall not be required to authenticate and deliver such Securities if the issue
of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own
rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this
Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not
be required to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency if the
Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with
respect to such Securities.

                  With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of
such Securities or as to the authorization by the Guarantor of any Guarantee
endorsed thereon, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other
documents delivered pursuant to Section 201 and 301 and this Section, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such
series.

                  Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified
as contemplated by Section 301.

                  No Security, no Guarantee endorsed thereon or coupon shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon
appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized
signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. The
delivery of any Security by the Trustee after the authentication thereof
hereunder shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee endorsed thereon on
behalf of the Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 310 together with a written statement (which
need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the
Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never
to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture.

                  SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. (a) Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon
Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and, if applicable,
having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor substantially
of the tenor of the

                                       26
<PAGE>

definitive Guarantees, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form
with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities, Guarantees or coupons may determine, as conclusively
evidenced by their execution of such Securities, Guarantees or coupons, as the
case may be. In the case of Securities of any series issuable as Bearer
Securities, such temporary Securities shall be delivered only in compliance with
the conditions set forth in Section 303 and may be in global form.

                  Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form
(which shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of any
series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a
Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series
(accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor of authorized denominations, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon
Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor; provided, however, that no definitive
Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered
Security; and provided further, however, that a definitive Bearer Security shall
be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with
the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

                  (b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, this Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary
Securities issued in global form. If temporary Securities of any series are
issued in global form, any such temporary global Security shall, unless
otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or
common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and
Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of
such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).

                  Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the
date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary
global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such temporary global Security and, if applicable, having endorsed
thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, executed by the Company. On
or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered
by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such
purpose, or to the Security Registrar, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to
time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global
Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the
same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such
temporary global Security to be exchanged and, if applicable, having endorsed
thereon Guarantees duly executed by the

                                       27
<PAGE>

Guarantor. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such
temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent
global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination
thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination
thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security,
upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security
is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and
signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for
its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a
subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary
global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set
forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be
established pursuant to Section 301; and provided further that definitive Bearer
Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global
Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.

                  Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security,
the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary
global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series
and of like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly
executed by the Guarantor, following the Exchange Date when the account holder
instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange
on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a
certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such
other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than
15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be
available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any
Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying
Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such
exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary
global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear
the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person
takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of
Euroclear or Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered
in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered
only outside the United States.

                  Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global
Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring
prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and
Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and
Clearstream to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent of a certificate or
certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such
other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit without
further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective
accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global
Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear
or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days
prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the
form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may
be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained, the

                                       28
<PAGE>

certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification
requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the
third paragraph of Section 303 of this Indenture and the interests of the
Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary global Security with
respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive
Securities of the same series and of like tenor and, if applicable, having
endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor on the Exchange Date
or the date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date,
without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary
global Security will be made unless and until such interest in such temporary
global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a definitive
Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as
herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent
immediately prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment
Date in order to be repaid to the Company.

                  SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a
register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office
or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being
herein sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of
Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any
other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable
time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed
"Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and
transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided,
and for facilitating exchanges of temporary global Securities for permanent
global Securities or definitive Securities, or both, or of permanent global
Securities for definitive Securities, or both, as herein provided. In the event
that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right
to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.

                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered
Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and
provisions, and having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed
by the Guarantor.

                  At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any
series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of
any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the
Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, having,
if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to any

                                       29
<PAGE>

series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not
be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

                  If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution
and (subject to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officer's Certificate,
or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section
301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be
exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender
of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all
unmatured coupons (except as provided below) and with all matured coupons in
default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to
produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in
default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities
are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal
to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such
missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there
is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each
of them, the Guarantor and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder
of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be
entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except
as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or
agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case
a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a
permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor
after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record
Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant
Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon
relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case
may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be
payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case
may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer
Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

                  Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, having,
if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be
exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If any beneficial owner of an
interest in a permanent global Security is entitled to exchange such interest
for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another
authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301
and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global
Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event
not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee or the Security

                                       30
<PAGE>

Registrar definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner's interest in such
permanent global Security, executed by the Company and, if applicable, having
endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. On or after the
earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, in accordance with
instructions given by the Company to the Trustee or the Security Registrar and
the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be (which
instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 or be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), such permanent global Security shall be
surrendered from time to time by the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary,
as the case may be, or such other depositary as shall be specified in the
Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for
such purpose, or to the Security Registrar to be exchanged, in whole or from
time to time in part, for definitive Securities of the same series without
charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each
portion of such permanent global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount
of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of
like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed
by the Guarantor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be
exchanged which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as
Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive
Securities exchanged for the permanent global Security shall be issuable only in
the form in which the Securities are issuable, as specified as contemplated by
Section 301, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities,
or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner
thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities
to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for
which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and
provided further that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of
a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any
location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part,
such permanent global Security shall be returned by the Trustee or the Security
Registrar to the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be,
or such other depositary referred to above in accordance with the Company's
instructions. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of
a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency
where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening
of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office
or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the
Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global
Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

                  Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company,
the Security Registrar or any transfer agent)

                                       31
<PAGE>

be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar or any transfer agent,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

                  No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1405 not involving any
transfer.

                  The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those
selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section 1103 and
ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities are issuable only as
Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day
of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such
Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no
publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered Security
to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to
exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a
Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and
like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of
the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

                  SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities
and Coupons. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon
appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with,
in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or
the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing
identical terms and provisions having, if applicable, endorsed thereon
Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.

                  If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantor (if
related Guarantees are issued) and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall, subject to the following
paragraph, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to
which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant
coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and
principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, having, if
applicable, endorsed

                                       32
<PAGE>

thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security
to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs,
in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to
the Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains, pay such Security or coupon, as the case may be; provided, however,
that payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on
Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on
Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
coupons appertaining thereto.

                  Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

                  Every new Security of any series, with any Guarantees endorsed
thereon duly executed by the Guarantor and with its coupons, if any, issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or
in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed,
lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or
stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all other Securities of that series, any Guarantees endorsed thereon and their
coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

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

                  SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved;
Optional Interest Reset. (a) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a
series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest,
if any, on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section
1002; provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on any
Registered Security may at the Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check
for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled
thereto pursuant to Section 309, to the address of such Person as it appears on
the

                                       33
<PAGE>

Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee
located in the United States.

                  Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest, if any, may be
made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by
the payee with a bank located outside the United States.

                  Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301,
every permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on
any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of any U.S. Depositary, and/or to
each of Euroclear and Clearstream with respect to that portion of such permanent
global Security held for its account by the Common Depositary, for the purpose
of permitting such U.S. Depositary and/or each of Euroclear and Clearstream to
credit the interest, if any, received by it in respect of such permanent global
Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

                  In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in
exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business
(at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular
Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered
without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not
be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security
issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the
Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.

                  Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of
Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any
Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted
Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof
on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

                  (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
         Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of
         such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered
         at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
         such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.
         The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
         Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of
         such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be
         less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at
         the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
         money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are
         payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
         Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in
         Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) equal to the aggregate amount
         proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
         arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior
         to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be
         held in trust for the benefit of the

                                       34
<PAGE>

         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 be not more than 15 days and not
         less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
         less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
         proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
         Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
         shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
         and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his
         address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days
         prior to such Special Record Date. 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 the Registered Securities of such series (or
         their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
         business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
         pursuant to the following clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any
         series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for
         such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after
         the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record
         Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
         related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer
         Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
         proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on
         such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security
         issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only
         to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions
         of this Indenture.

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

                  (b)  The provisions of this Section 307(b) may be made
applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such
modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such
Section 301). The interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to
calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may
be reset by the Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such
Security (each an "Optional Reset Date"). The Company may exercise such option
with respect to such Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least
50 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for such Security.
Not later than 40 days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of any such
Security a notice (the "Reset Notice") indicating whether the Company has
elected to reset the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to
calculate such interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i) such new interest
rate (or such new spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the
provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset
Date to the next Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset
Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of such Security (each such period a
"Subsequent Interest Period"), including the date or

                                       35
<PAGE>

dates on which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at
which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to
the Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest
rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate,
if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish an interest rate
(or a spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) that is higher than the interest rate (or the spread or spread
multiplier, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent
Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for
in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or
spread multiplier, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such notice
shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or
the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) is reset on an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the
Holders of such Securities have not tendered such Securities for repayment (or
have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph,
will bear such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier,
if applicable).

                  The Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect
repayment by the Company of the principal of such Security on each Optional
Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest
accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an Optional
Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen
for repayment at the option of Holders except that the period for delivery or
notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior
to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered any
Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written
notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of
business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.

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

                  SECTION 308. Optional Extension of Maturity. The provisions of
this Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to
Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be
specified pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of
such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or
periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up
to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such
Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by
notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days
prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of
such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such
option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106,
to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original
Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of
the Company to extend the Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii)
the interest rate, if any, applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the
provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the
Trustee's transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such
Security shall

                                       36
<PAGE>

be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as
described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior
to the transmittal of such Extension Notice.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before
the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option,
revoke the interest rate, if any, provided for in the Extension Notice and
establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee
to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher
interest rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable.
All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear
such higher interest rate.

                  If the Company extends the Stated Maturity of any Security,
the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the
Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount
thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the
Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Stated Maturity
thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for
repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or
notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior
to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any
Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by
written notice to the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close
of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.

                  SECTION 309. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment
of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), the Trustee
and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such
Registered Security), or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Registered Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Registered
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if
any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Registered
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered
Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is
endorsed on such Registered Security), the Trustee nor any agent of the Company,
the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is
endorsed on such Bearer Security), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the
Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), or the Trustee
may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the
absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment
thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Security or coupon be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor
(if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), the Trustee nor any agent
of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer
Security), or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

                  None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to

                                       37
<PAGE>

or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in
global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global
temporary or permanent Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by a Common Depositary or a U.S. Depositary, as the case
may be, or impair, as between a Common Depositary or a U.S. Depositary and
Holders of beneficial interests in such temporary or permanent global Security,
the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the
Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary as Holder of such temporary or
permanent global Security.

                  SECTION 310. Cancellation. All Securities and coupons
surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered
to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and Securities and coupons
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee. The Company or the Guarantor may at any time deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to
any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If
the Company or the Guarantor shall so acquire any of the Securities, however,
such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled
Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and
the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company,
unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it.

                  SECTION 311. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any
series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

                  SECTION 312. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of
Securities. (a) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities
pursuant to Section 301, with respect to Registered Securities of any series not
permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of
which have not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, and with
respect to Bearer Securities of any series, except as provided in paragraph (d)
below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
on any Registered or Bearer Security of such series will be made in the Currency
in which such Registered Security or Bearer Security, as the case may be, is
payable. The provisions of this Section 312 may be modified or superseded with
respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301.

                                       38
<PAGE>

                  (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to
Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject
to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Registered Securities in any of
the Currencies which may be designated for such election by delivering to the
Trustee for such series of Registered Securities a written election with
signature guarantees and in the applicable form established pursuant to Section
301, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately
preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such
payments in any such Currency, such election will remain in effect for such
Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed by such Holder or such
transferee by written notice to the Trustee for such series of Registered
Securities (but any such change must be made not later than the close of
business on the Election Date immediately preceding the next payment date to be
effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change of
election may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered
Security of such series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred
or with respect to which the Company has deposited funds pursuant to Article
Four or Fifteen or with respect to which a notice of redemption has been given
by the Company or a notice of option to elect repayment has been sent by such
Holder or such transferee). Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall
not have delivered any such election to the Trustee of such series of Registered
Securities not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date
will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant
Currency as provided in Section 312(a). The Trustee for each such series of
Registered Securities shall notify the Exchange Rate Agent as soon as
practicable after the Election Date of the aggregate principal amount of
Registered Securities for which Holders have made such written election.

                  (c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the
election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to
Section 301, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, not later
than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each payment date for
Registered Securities of any series, the Exchange Rate Agent will deliver to the
Company a written notice specifying the Currency in which Registered Securities
of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Registered Securities to be
paid on such payment date, specifying the amounts in such Currency so payable in
respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered
Securities denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another
Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred to in
paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301 and if at
least one Holder has made such election, then, unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301, on the second Business Day preceding such payment date
the Company will deliver to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities
an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign
Currency or Currencies payments to be made on such payment date. Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar or Foreign Currency or
Currencies amount receivable by Holders of Registered Securities who have
elected payment in a Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be
determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in
effect on the second Business Day (the "Valuation Date") immediately preceding
each payment date, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

                                       39
<PAGE>

                  (d) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign
Currency in which any of the Securities are denominated or payable other than
pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then with
respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such
Foreign Currency occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency
was used (the "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment
for use on each such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee of each
such series of Securities and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders
of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be, in the case of a
Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the
Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of
the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the
manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below.

                  (e) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the
Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any Currency shall have elected
to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above, and a
Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected Currency, such Holder shall
receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been made in the
absence of such election; and if a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the
Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election,
such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph (d) of
this Section 312.

                  (f) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and shall be obtained for each subsequent
payment date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the
Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date.

                  (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and subject to the provisions of paragraph
(h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the Specified
Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for
such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each payment.

                  (h) For purposes of this Section 312, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:

                  A "Component Currency" shall mean any currency which, on the
         Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency
         unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU.

                  A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the
         number of units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof which
         were represented in the relevant currency unit, including, but not
         limited to, the ECU, on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion
         Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of
         combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component
         Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If
         after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are
         consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified

                                       40
<PAGE>

         Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in
         such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified
         Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such
         single currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount
         and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If
         after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into
         two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency
         shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies, having an
         aggregate Dollar Equivalent value at the Market Exchange Rate on the
         date of such replacement equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the
         Specified Amount of such former Component Currency at the Market
         Exchange Rate immediately before such division, and such amounts shall
         thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be
         Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant
         currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, a Conversion
         Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition of
         "Specified Amount") occurs with respect to any Component Currency of
         such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable Valuation Date,
         the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of
         calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted
         into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Conversion
         Date of such Component Currency.

                  An "Election Date" shall mean the Regular Record Date for the
         applicable series of Registered Securities or at least 16 days prior to
         Maturity, as the case may be, or such other prior date for any series
         of Registered Securities as specified pursuant to clause 13 of Section
         301 by which the written election referred to in Section 312(b) may be
         made.

                  All decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent
regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent
of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and changes in the Specified
Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably
binding upon the Company, the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities
and all Holders of such Securities denominated or payable in the relevant
Currency. The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give written notice to the
Company and the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities of any such
decision or determination.

                  In the event that the Company determines in good faith that a
Conversion Event has occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Company
will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate
series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will
promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the
affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. In the event the Company so
determines that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to the ECU or any
other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Company
will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate
series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will
promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the
affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of
each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event the Company
determines in good faith that any subsequent change in any Component Currency as
set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above has occurred, the Company
will similarly give written notice to the Trustee of the appropriate series of
Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent.

<PAGE>

                  The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be
fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by
it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any
duty or obligation to determine the accuracy or validity of such information
independent of the Company or the Exchange Rate Agent.

                  SECTION 313. Appointment and Resignation of Successor Exchange
Rate Agent. (a) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if and so
long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency
or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under
any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with
respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one
Exchange Rate Agent. The Company will cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the
necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner
specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of determining the applicable
rate of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the issued
Foreign Currency into the applicable payment Currency for the payment of
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 312.

                  (b) No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no
appointment of a successor Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to this Section shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Exchange
Rate Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Company and the
Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment
executed by the successor Exchange Rate Agent.

                  (c) If the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or
become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the
Exchange Rate Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly
appoint a successor Exchange Rate Agent or Exchange Rate Agents with respect to
the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed with respect to the Securities of
one or more or all of such series and that, unless otherwise specified pursuant
to Section 301, at any time there shall only be one Exchange Rate Agent with
respect to the Securities of any particular series that are originally issued by
the Company on the same date and that are initially denominated and/or payable
in the same Currency.

                  SECTION 314. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the
Securities may use "CUSIP", "CINS" or "ISIN" numbers (if then generally in use),
and, if so, the Trustee shall indicate the respective "CUSIP", "CINS" or "ISIN"
numbers of the Securities in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained
in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall
advise the Trustee as promptly as practicable in writing of any change in the
CUSIP, CINS or ISIN numbers.

                  SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Except
as set forth below, this Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of
further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such
Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer
or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or
pursuant hereto, any surviving rights of tender for repayment at the option of
the Holders and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section
1007), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, and at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture as to such series when

                  (1) either

                  destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid

                  segregated and held in trust by the Company or the Guarantor,

                           year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
                           for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee
                           in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

                  and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
                  irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
                  Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, solely for
                  the benefit of the Holders, an amount in the Currency in which
                  the Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to pay
                  and discharge the entire

<PAGE>

                  indebtedness on such Securities and such coupons not
                  theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for
                  principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the
                  date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have
                  become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or
                  Redemption Date, as the case may be;

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

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

                  Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee under Section 606, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating
Agent under Section 612 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive
any termination of this Indenture.

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

                                    REMEDIES

                  SECTION 501. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever
used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the
following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is either inapplicable to
a particular series or is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the
supplemental indenture or a Board Resolution establishing such series of
Securities or is in the form of Security for such series:

                  (1) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of
         that series, or any related coupon, when such interest or coupon
         becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period
         of 30 days; or

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

         Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; or

                  (3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or
         warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or
         warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in
         this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been
         included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of
         Securities other than that series) and continuance of such default or
         breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by
         registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the
         Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
         amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice
         specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
         stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

                  (4) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
         of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or, if
         Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in an involuntary case or
         proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or
         order adjudging the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor
         a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
         seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in
         respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor
         under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian,
         receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
         official of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor or
         of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
         liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
         order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in
         effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

                  (5) the commencement by the Company or, if Guarantees are
         issued, the Guarantor of a voluntary case or proceeding under any
         applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
         other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated
         a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree
         or order for relief in respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are
         issued, the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
         applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
         other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or
         insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a
         petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under
         any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing
         of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a
         custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or
         similar official of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the
         Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by
         it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by
         it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they
         become due or the taking of corporate action by the Company or, if
         Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in furtherance of any such action;
         or

                                       45
<PAGE>

                  (6) any other Event of Default provided with respect to
         Securities of that series.

                  SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at
the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4)
or (5)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall,
declare immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company and,
if applicable, the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) the unpaid
principal (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of that series) of (and premium, if any) and accrued interest in respect
of each Security then Outstanding in that series (the "Default Amount"). Upon
any such declaration, the Default Amount shall become immediately due and
payable on all Outstanding Securities of that series. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 502, if an Event of Default specified in Section
501(4) or (5) occurs then, the Default Amount on the Securities then Outstanding
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

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

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

                           (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that
                  series and any related coupons,

                           (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any
                  Securities of that series which has become due otherwise than
                  by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at
                  the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

                           (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is
                  lawful, interest on overdue interest at the rate or rates
                  prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

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

                  (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
         series, other than the non-payment of the principal of (or premium, if
         any, on) or interest on Securities of that series which have become due
         solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived
         as provided in Section 513.

                                       46
<PAGE>

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

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

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

                  (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
         premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity,

then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee (such
demand and payment in the case of Euro Securities to occur only outside of the
United States), for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series and
coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons of
that series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with
interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue
installments of interest, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for
in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.

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

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

                  SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are
issued) or any other obligor upon the Securities of a series or the property of
the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or of such
other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the
principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and

                                       47
<PAGE>

irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company
or, if applicable, the Guarantor for the payment of any overdue principal,
premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise:

                  (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
         principal (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such
         portion of the principal as may be provided in the terms thereof) (and
         premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of
         the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be
         necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
         (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
         disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
         of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

                  (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same
         (which distribution, in the case of Euro Securities, shall occur only
         outside the United States);

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or
other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 606.

                  Subject to Article Eight and Section 902 and unless otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 301, nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder of a Security or coupon any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons or
the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in any such proceeding.

                  SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Securities or Coupons. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or
any of the Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production
thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted
by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of
the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

                  SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money
collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as
the case may be (such presentation, in the case of Euro Securities or coupons,
to occur only outside the United States), and the notation thereon of the
payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

                                       48
<PAGE>

                  FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under
         Section 606;

                  SECOND: To the payment (such payment, in the case of Euro
         Securities, to occur only outside the United States) of the amounts
         then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for principal (and
         premium, if any) and interest, if any, in respect of which or for the
         benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without
         preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts
         due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and
         premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and

                  THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company
         or any other Person or Persons designated in writing by the Company.

                  SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of
any series or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

                  (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the
         Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities
         of that series;

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

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

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

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

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

                  SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is
absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security
or payment of such coupon on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such
Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or,

                                       49
<PAGE>

in the case of repayment at the option of the Holders on the Repayment Date) and
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

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

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

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

                  SECTION 512. Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series, provided that

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

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

                  (3) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction which, in
         the Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, is unduly prejudicial to other
         Holders of Securities of such series not consenting or would subject
         the Trustee to personal liability.

                  SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 502,
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of
such series and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with
respect to Securities of such series and its consequences, except a default

                  (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
         interest, if any, on any Security of such series or any related
         coupons, or

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

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

                  SECTION 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

                                  ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

                  SECTION 601. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the
occurrence of any Default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in
TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default hereunder known to the Trustee,
unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or in the payment
of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series,
the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors
and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Securities
and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any Default
or breach of the character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to the
Securities and coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

                  SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the
provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d):

                                       51
<PAGE>

                  (1) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
         refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
         instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
         order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or
         other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form)
         believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
         the proper party or parties.

                  (2) Any request or direction of the Company or the Guarantor
         mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request
         or Company Order or Guarantor Request or Guarantor Order, as the case
         may be (other than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons
         appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery
         pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as
         provided therein), and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the
         Company or the Guarantor may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board
         Resolution.

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

                  (4) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection
         and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall
         be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
         action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
         reliance thereon.

                  (5) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
         of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request
         or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series or any
         related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall
         have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against
         the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
         compliance with such request or direction.

                  (6) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
         into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
         statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
         consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of
         indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
         discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such
         facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee in good faith
         shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall
         be entitled upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during
         normal business hours to examine the books, records and premises of the
         Company or, if any Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor, personally or
         by agent or attorney.

                  (7) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible
         for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney
         appointed with due care by it hereunder.

                  (8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any
         Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
         Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
         event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at
         the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references
         the Securities and this Indenture.

                  (9) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
         benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limiation, its
         right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by,
         the Trustee in each of its capacties hereunder.

                                       52

                  The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.

                  SECTION 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of
Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, including any
Guarantees endorsed thereon, except the Trustee's certificate of authentication,
and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating
Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities
and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a
Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and
accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee
nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by
the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

                  SECTION 604. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying
Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the
Company or the Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections
310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company and the Guarantor with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

                  SECTION 605. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in
trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company or
the Guarantor, as the case may be.

                  SECTION 606. Compensation and Reimbursement and
Indemnification of Trustee. The Company agrees:

                  (1) To pay to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee from time
         to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it
         hereunder as has been agreed upon from time to time in writing (which
         compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
         the compensation of a trustee of an express trust).

                  (2) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
         reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its
         request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
         incurred or made by the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee in
         accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
         reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
         agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
         as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

                  (3) To indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor
         Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
         expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its own part,
         arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
         of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
         defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the
         exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

                  As security for the performance of the obligations of the
Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such,
except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest, if any, on particular Securities or any coupons.

                  SECTION 607. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as
Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of Federal,
State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article.

                  SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the
Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign,
to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of,
the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

                  SECTION 609. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of
Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 610.

                  (b) Subject to Section 609(a) hereof, the Trustee may resign
at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving
written notice thereof to the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor.

                  (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by (i) the Company, by an Officer's Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, provided that contemporaneously therewith (x) the
Company immediately appoints a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series meeting the requirements of Section 607 hereof and (y) the terms
of Section 610 hereof are complied with in respect of such appointment (the
Trustee being removed hereby agreeing to execute the instrument contemplated by
Section 610(b) hereof, if applicable, under such circumstances) and provided
further that no Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and
then be continuing at such time, or (ii) Act of the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
delivered to the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor.

<PAGE>

                  (d) If at any time:

                  (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
         TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or the
         Guarantor or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
         Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

                  (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607
         and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company,
         the Guarantor or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
         Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

                  (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
         adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
         property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
         control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
         rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to an Officer's
Certificate may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect
to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

                  (e) If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of
a notice of resignation or the delivery of an Act of removal, the Trustee
resigning or being removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                  (f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for
any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate, shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that
or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series
and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by
the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities
and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.

<PAGE>

                  (g) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 106.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

                  SECTION 610. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Company, the Guarantor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the
Company, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring
Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee
all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject
nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.

                  (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, the retiring Trustee and each successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and
deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall
accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be
necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is
not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as
shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue
to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon
the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Company, the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.
Whenever there is a successor Trustee with respect to one or more (but less than
all) series of securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, the terms
"Indenture" and "Securities" shall have the meanings

                                       56
<PAGE>

specified in the provisos to the respective definition of those terms in Section
101 which contemplate such situation.

                  (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company
and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such
rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section,
as the case may be.

                  (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless
at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article.

                  SECTION 611. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession
to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities or coupons shall have
been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or coupons so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons
shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such
successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in
either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and
effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of
the Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the
name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation.

                  SECTION 612. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee
may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents (which may be an Affiliate or
Affiliates of the Company) with respect to one or more series of Securities
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon original issue or upon exchange,
registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section
306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated
by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an
instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of
which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference
is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by
the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall
be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to
Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation
organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to act as

                                       57
<PAGE>

Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising
or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating
Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
this Section.

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

                  An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at
any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such
series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any
time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent 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 such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall promptly
give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the
series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner
set forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

                  The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

                  If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made
pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed
thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of
authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the
following form:

                  This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

                                         The Bank of New York,

                  If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally
issued at one time, and the Trustee does not have an office capable of
authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment
where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon
original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which
writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an
Authenticating Agent (which, if so requested by the Company, shall be an
Affiliate of the Company) having an office in a Place of Payment designated by
the Company with respect to such series of Securities, provided that the terms
and conditions of such appointment are acceptable to the Trustee.

                         TRUSTEE, COMPANY and guarantor

                  SECTION 701. Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Holders.
Every Holder of Securities or coupons, by receiving and holding the same, agrees
with the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee that neither the Company, the
Guarantor nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor
any Security Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the
Holders of Securities in accordance with TIA Section 312, 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 TIA Section 312(b).

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

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

                  (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the
same, agrees with the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee that neither the
Company, the Guarantor nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be
held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and
addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

merger, sale or conveyance no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred
and be continuing; (ii) the surviving Person in such consolidation or merger (if
other than the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be) or person to whom
such property and assets are sold or conveyed (if other than the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be) is a corporation organized under the laws of the
United States or any state thereof, and such Person (if other than the Company

such sale or conveyance is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and
may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case

been named as the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, herein, and in
the event of any such sale or conveyance, the Company or the Guarantor, as the
case may be (which term shall for this purpose mean the Person named as the
"Company" or the "Guarantor" in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any
successor Person which shall theretofore become such in the manner described in
Section 801), shall be discharged of all obligations and covenants under this

         for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities and
         any related coupons (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of
         less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are
         expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to
         surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or the
         Guarantor; or

         Securities of other authorized denominations or to permit or facilitate
         the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form; provided that any
         such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
         Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material
         respect; or

                  (5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this

         entitled to the benefit of such provision; or

                  (6) to secure the Securities pursuant to the requirements of

         administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or

                  (9) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
         provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision
         herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
         questions arising under this Indenture; provided that any such action

changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture
which affect such series of Securities or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons under this
Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of each such series
affected thereby:

                  (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or
         premium, if any, on) or any installment of principal of or interest on,

         institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the
         Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption on or after the
         Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option

                                       63
<PAGE>

         of the Holder, on or after the Repayment Date), or modify the
         provisions of this Indenture with respect to the mandatory redemption
         of Securities or repayment of the Securities at the option of the
         Holder in a manner adverse to any Holder of any Securities or any
         coupons appertaining thereto, or adversely affect any right to convert
         or exchange any Security as may be provided pursuant to Section 301
         herein,

                  (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the

                  (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513
         or Section 1009, except to increase any such percentage or to provide
         that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
         waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
         affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be
         deemed to require the consent of any Holder of a Security or coupon
         with respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee" and
         concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso,
         in accordance with the requirements of Sections 610(b) and 901(8), or

                  (4) reduce the terms and conditions of any obligations of the

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

                  A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any
covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included
solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which
modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to
such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under
this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

                  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record
date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any
indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such
record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall
have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained
prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect.

receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,

rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                  SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall
be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form
a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any
coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby.

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

Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall,
if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as
to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall
so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, to any
such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company having,
if applicable, Guarantees endorsed thereon and executed by the Guarantor, and
authenticated and delivered (which delivery, in the case of Euro Securities,
shall occur only outside the United States) by the Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Securities of such series.

                  SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if Any, and
Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of
each series of Securities and any related coupons that it will duly and
punctually pay, in the Currency or Currencies in which the Securities of such

the Securities of such series), the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and
any interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of
such Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless

payable only upon presentation and surrender of the respective coupons for such
interest installments.

                  SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. If Securities

initially shall be The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York
10286, Attention:                    . If Securities of a series are issuable as

that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where any Registered
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and

which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities
of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment
(including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 1007); provided, however, that, if the Securities of
that series are listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom
and the Republic of Ireland, Limited, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other
stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall
so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that
series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the
United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are
listed on such exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United
States, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and give prompt
notice to the Holders as provided in Section 106 of the location, and any change
in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall
fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any series of
Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons
may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any
Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1007) at any Paying Agent for such series located outside the United
States, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive all
such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

                  Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities
pursuant to Section 301, no payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest
on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the
United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by
transfer to any account maintained with a financial institution located in the
United States; provided, however, that, if the Securities of a series are
denominated and payable in Dollars, payment of principal of (and premium, if
any, on) and any interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional
Amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1007) shall be

amount of such principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, as
the case may be, at all offices or

                  The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for
Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee and the Holders of any such designation or rescission and
of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless
otherwise specified with respect to any Securities as contemplated by Section
301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a
Place of Payment for each series of Securities the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially
appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

                  SECTION 1003. Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust.
If the Company or the Guarantor shall at any time act as a Paying Agent with
respect to the Securities of any series and any related coupons, it will, on or
before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or any
interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum (in the Currency or
Currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series))
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or any interest so
becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.

                  Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
any series of Securities and any related coupons, it will, prior to or on each
due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or any interest on any
Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the Currency or
Currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series))
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or any interest so
becoming due, such sum of money to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of such
action or any failure so to act.

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

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

                                       67
<PAGE>

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

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

                  The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums of
money held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.

                  Except as provided in the Securities of any series, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or
the Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any, on) or interest on any Security of any series, or any coupon appertaining
thereto, and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and
premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise
required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company or the Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of
applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, look only to the
Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money held in trust,
and all liability of the Company or the Guarantor as trustee thereof, shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of
Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Company.

                  SECTION 1004. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Eight,
the Company and, so long as any Securities in respect of which Guarantees have
been issued are Outstanding, the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however,
that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to preserve any
such right or franchise if its Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business.

                  SECTION 1005. Maintenance of Principal Properties. The Company
will cause all Principal Properties used or useful in the conduct of its
business or the business of the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order
and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to

                                       68
<PAGE>

be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so
that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and
advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the maintenance of any of
such properties or prevent or restrict the sale, abandonment or other
disposition of any of such properties if such action is, in the judgment of the
Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as a whole.

                  SECTION 1006. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company
will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges
levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or upon the
income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and
(b) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if
unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being
contested in good faith.

                  SECTION 1007. Additional Amounts. If Securities of a series
provide for the payment of additional amounts to any Holder who is a non-United
States Person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge
("Additional Amounts"), the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of
such series or any coupon appertaining thereto such Additional Amounts as may be
so provided by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in
any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or
interest on, or in respect of, any Security of a series or payment of any
related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of a
Security of a series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the
payment of Additional Amounts provided for by the terms of such series
established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context,
Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to
such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if
applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not
made.

                  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at
least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that
series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest
prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal (and premium,
if any) is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
principal (and premium, if any) or interest if there has been any change with
respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer's Certificate,
the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or
Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officer's Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such
payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on the Securities
of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any
related coupons who are non-United States Persons without withholding for or on
account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the
Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such
Officer's Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to
be withheld on such

                                       69
<PAGE>

payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the
Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts
required by the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants to indemnify the
Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on
their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any
of them in reliance on any Officer's Certificate furnished pursuant to this
Section or in the event the Trustee shall not withhold or deduct any sums as a
result of the non-receipt of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to this Section.

                  SECTION 1008. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company and, so
long as any Securities in respect of which Guarantees have been issued are
Outstanding, the Guarantor, each shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, ending after the date hereof so long as any Security is Outstanding
hereunder, an Officer's Certificate, stating that in the course of the
performance by the signatory of his or her duties as such officer of the Company
or the Guarantor, as the case may be, they would normally obtain knowledge of
any Default by the Company in the performance or fulfillment of any covenant,
agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, and stating whether or not
they have obtained knowledge of any such Default existing on the date of such
statement and, if so, specifying each such Default of which the signatory has
knowledge and the nature thereof.

                  (b) The Company will, so long as any of the Securities of any
series are Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as promptly as practicable upon
any officer listed in (a) above becoming aware of any Default, Event of Default
or default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained
in this Indenture, an Officer's Certificate specifying such Default, Event of
Default, default or event of default and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto and the status thereof.

                  SECTION 1009. Waiver of Certain Covenants. With respect to the
Securities of any series, the Company and the Guarantor may omit in any
particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition specified pursuant
to Section 301 as being subject to this Section 1009, if, before the time for
such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to
or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company
and the Guarantor and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant
or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

                  SECTION 1010. Limitations on Liens. The Company shall not
create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its property or assets,
without securing the Securities of any applicable series equally and ratably
with (or prior to) such secured Indebtedness; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall apply only to Liens which in the aggregate exceed 15% of the
Company's total consolidated assets as of the end of the Company's most recent
accounting period preceding the creation or assumption of any such Lien (reduced
by any Attributable Debt with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction
permitted under Section 1011 below). This restriction will not apply to
Capitalized Leases or to Indebtedness

                                       70
<PAGE>

secured by (a) Liens existing on the date hereof and Liens on property of, or
Indebtedness of, any Person at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary
(whether by acquisition or otherwise, including through merger or
consolidation), (b) Liens in favor of the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company, (c) Liens existing at the time of acquisition of the assets secured
thereby (including acquisition through merger or consolidation) and purchase
money Liens, and (d) any extension, renewal or refunding of any Lien referred to
in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), inclusive.

                  SECTION 1011. Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter
into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property
unless (a) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a term of
not more than three years; (b) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is between
the Company and a Subsidiary of the Company or between Subsidiaries of the
Company; (c) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to
incur indebtedness secured by a Lien on such Principal Property involved in such
Sale and Leaseback Transaction at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt
with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to the first
sentence of the "Limitations on Liens" covenant in Section 1010 above without
equally and ratably securing the Securities of any applicable series pursuant to
such covenant; (d) the proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at
least equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company) and the Company applies an amount equal to
the greater of the net proceeds of such sale or the Attributable Debt with
respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction within 180 days of such sale to
either (or a combination) of (i) the retirement (other than the mandatory
retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by payment at
maturity) of debt for borrowed money of the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company that matures more than 12 months after its creation (other than debt
that is subordinated to the Securities or debt to the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company) or (ii) the purchase, construction or development of other
comparable property; or (e) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into
within 180 days after the initial acquisition by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, of the Principal Property subject to such Sale
and Leaseback Transaction.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

                  SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article. Securities of any
series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in
accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

                  SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company
the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the
Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify
the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of
such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to
be redeemed,

                                       71
<PAGE>

and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable
the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1103. In
the case of any redemption of Securities of any series (i) prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (ii) pursuant to an election of the
Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such
Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

                  SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be
Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed
(unless all of the Securities of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate;
provided that such method complies with the rules of any national securities
exchange or quotation system on which the Securities are then listed, and which
may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination
larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series;
provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of
the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of such series.

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

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

                  SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, notice of redemption shall be given in
the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but
failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.

                  Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered
Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have
been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

                  All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (1) the Redemption Date,

                                       72
<PAGE>

                  (2) the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the
         Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106,

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

                  (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the
         notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the
         Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder will
         receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized
         denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

                  (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and
         accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
         Section 1106 will become due and payable upon each such Security, or
         the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest
         thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

                  (6) the Place or Places of Payment (which in the case of Euro
         Securities shall be outside the United States) where such Securities,
         together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining
         thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be
         surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest,
         if any,

                  (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the
         case,

                  (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer
         Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be
         accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the Redemption Date
         or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted
         from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to
         the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, the Trustee for such series
         and any Paying Agent is furnished,

                  (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and
         any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if
         such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not
         subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305
         or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which
         such exchanges may be made, and

                  (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any.

                  A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section
106 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed.

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

                                       73
<PAGE>

                  SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do
in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 1003)) an amount of money in the Currency in
which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if
applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

                  SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections
312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company and, if
applicable, the Guarantor shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price
and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and
the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of
any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with
all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date,
such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002)
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest, and provided further
that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of
interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section
307.

                  If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee if
there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to
save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of
such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such
missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the
Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so
deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as
otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those
coupons.

                                       74
<PAGE>

                  If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid
upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate of interest set forth in such
Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to
Maturity of such Security.

                  SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Registered
Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of
this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment
therefor (with, if the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge a new Registered Security or Securities of the same
series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered, with, if applicable,
Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor. If a temporary
global Security or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new
Security so issued shall be a new temporary global Security or permanent global
Security, respectively. However, if less than all the Securities of any series
with differing issue dates, interest rates and stated maturities are to be
redeemed, the Company in its sole discretion shall select the particular
Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at
least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

                  SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities
of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series.

                  The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory
sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided
for by the terms of such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an
"optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities
of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be
subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment
shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for
by the terms of Securities of such series.

                  SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities. Subject to Section 1203, the Company may, in satisfaction of all or
any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of
a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series to the Trustee
(other than any previously called for redemption or presented for repayment at
the option of the Holder) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such
series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit
Securities of such

                                       75
<PAGE>

series which have been previously purchased or otherwise acquired or redeemed
either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities
or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant
to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities
together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured
coupons appertaining thereto, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of
any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of the same
series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided
for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities so delivered or
applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall
be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable
Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

                  SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not
less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any
series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as
provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash
to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officer's
Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated
to pay the amount therein specified. Not more than 60 days before each such
sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the
terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105, 1106 and 1107.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                                   GUARANTEES

                  SECTION 1301. Guarantees. If Securities of or within a series
are specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be guaranteed by the
Guarantor, then the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to
each Holder of any such Security which is authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and to each Holder of any coupon appertaining to any such Security, if
any, and to the Trustee on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (including,
in case of default, interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, on overdue interest and including any additional interest
required to be paid according to the terms of any such Security or any coupon
appertaining thereto), if any, on each such Security, and the due and punctual
payment of any

                                       76
<PAGE>

sinking fund payment (or analogous obligation), if any, provided for with
respect to any such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable,
whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration, upon tender for
repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, according to the terms
thereof and of this Indenture, including, without limitation, the payment of any
Additional Amounts, if any, provided for with respect to any such Security as
described under Section 1007 hereof (the "Guarantor Obligations"). In case of
the failure of the Company or any successor thereto punctually to pay any such
principal, premium, interest or sinking fund payment, the Guarantor hereby
agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same
shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon
declaration of acceleration, upon tender for repayment at the option of any
Holder or otherwise, as if such payment were made by the Company.

                  The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantor Obligations
hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety and
shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the identity of the
Company, the validity, regularity or enforceability of any such Security or
coupon appertaining thereto or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder of any such Security or
coupon appertaining thereto with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery
of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants
that its Guarantees will not be discharged except by complete performance of its
obligations contained in any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto and in
this Guarantee.

                  If the Trustee or the Holder of any Security or any coupon
appertaining thereto is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Company or the Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or other similar official acting in relation to the
Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid to the Trustee or such Holder in
respect of a Security or any coupons appertaining thereto, the Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The
Guarantor further agrees, to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so,
that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition extant
under any applicable bankruptcy law preventing such acceleration in respect of
the obligations guaranteed hereby.

                  The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders
of the Securities of a series (and of any coupons appertaining thereto) against
the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such
Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto or this Indenture; provided,
however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any
payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on all Securities
of such series shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.

                  SECTION 1302. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. To
evidence its Guarantees with respect to Securities of or within any series that
are specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be guaranteed by the
Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantees, in a form
established pursuant to Section 201, to be endorsed on each Security of such
series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each such Guarantee shall be
executed on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Financial Officer, or its
President, or one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents, or by its
Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers and attested by its Secretary or
one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the
Guarantees may be manual or facsimile.

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

                  The delivery of any Securities by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the
Guarantees endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby
agrees that its Guarantees set forth in this Article Thirteen shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a
notation of such Guarantee.

                  SECTION 1303. Limitation of Guarantor's Liability. The
Guarantor, and by its acceptance of a Security each Holder, hereby confirms that
it is the intention of all such parties that in no event shall any Guarantor
Obligations under the Guarantees constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States
federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or
similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, in the event that the
Guarantor Obligations, if any, in respect of the Securities of any series would,
but for this sentence, constitute or result in such a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance or violation, then the liability of the Guarantor under its
Guarantees in respect of the Securities of such series shall be reduced to the
extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or
violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law.

                                ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                       REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

                  SECTION 1401. Applicability of Article. Repayment of
Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders
thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and
(except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant
to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.

                  SECTION 1402. Repayment of Securities. Securities of any
series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders
thereof will, unless otherwise provided

                                       78
<PAGE>

in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the Repayment Price thereof,
together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified
in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or
before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company or the Guarantor is acting as Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the
Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except,
if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to
pay the Repayment Price of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an
Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions
thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

                  SECTION 1403. Exercise of Option. Securities of any series
subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an
"Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid
at the option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment, with
the "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Security duly
completed by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing), must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefor
specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of
which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities)
not earlier than 45 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If
less than the entire Repayment Price of such Security is to be repaid in
accordance with the terms of such Security, the portion of the Repayment Price
of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for
Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security
or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of such Security
surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. Any Security providing
for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if,
following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be
less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of
which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided
by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder
thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable
unless waived by the Company.

                  SECTION 1404. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become
Due and Payable. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the
option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this
Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such
Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall
become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date
therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company and,
if applicable, the Guarantor shall default in the payment of such Securities on
such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing,
cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any
Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be
void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such
provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing
after the Repayment Date, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid
shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Repayment Date; provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located
outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and,
unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and
surrender of

                                       79
<PAGE>

such coupons; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, in the case of Registered Securities, installments
of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date
shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default
in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section
307.

                  If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as
provided in Section 1402 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing
coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the
Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee if there be furnished to
them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender
to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such
Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however,
that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or
agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

                  If any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so
repaid upon surrender thereof, the Repayment Price shall, until paid, bear
interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest set forth in such
Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to
Maturity of such Security.

                  SECTION 1405. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any
Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new
Registered Security or Securities of the same series, and of like tenor, of any
authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such
Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid, with, if applicable,
Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor. If a temporary
global Security or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new
Security so issued shall be a new temporary global Security or a new permanent
global Security, respectively.

                                ARTICLE FIFTEEN

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

                  SECTION 1501. Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance. If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for either or
both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1502 or (b)
covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1503, then the
provisions of such Section 1502 or Section 1503, as the case may be, together
with Sections 1504, 1505 and 1506, shall be applicable to the Securities of such

                                       80
<PAGE>

series, and the Company may, at its option by Officer's Certificate, at any
time, with respect to the Securities of such series, elect to have either
Section 1502 (if applicable) or Section 1503 (if applicable) be applied to the
Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article Fourteen.

                  SECTION 1502. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's
exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any
Securities of or within a series and subject to Sections 1505 and 1506, the
Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any
related coupons on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below
are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth
below (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that
the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and
any related coupons, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only
for the purposes of Section 1505 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all their other
obligations under such Securities and any related coupons and this Indenture
insofar as such Securities and any related coupons are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such
Outstanding Securities of such securities and any related coupons to receive,
solely from the trust fund described in Section 1504 and as more fully set forth
in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any,
on) and interest on such Securities and any related coupons when such payments
are due, (B) the Company's obligations and, to the extent applicable, the
Guarantor's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305,
306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if
any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1007, and such obligations as
shall be ancillary thereto, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities
and other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article
Fifteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Fifteen, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section 1502 notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 1503 with respect to such Securities and any related
coupons. Following a defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

                  SECTION 1503. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise
of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of
or within a series, the Company and the Guarantor shall each be released from
its obligations under any Section(s) of this Indenture applicable to such
Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this
provision with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any
related coupons on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below
are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth
below (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities and any related
coupons shall thereafter be deemed not to be "Outstanding" for the purposes of
any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such Sections, but shall
continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this
purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities of such series and any related coupons, the Company and the Guarantor
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or
indirectly, by

                                       81
<PAGE>

reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of
reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event
of Default hereunder, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Securities and any related coupons shall be unaffected
thereby. Following a covenant defeasance, payment of the Securities of such
series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default solely by reference
to such Sections specified above in this Section 1503.

                  SECTION 1504. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The following shall be the conditions precedent or, as specifically noted below,
subsequent, to application of either Section 1502 or Section 1503 to any
Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any related coupons:

                  (1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to
         be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee
         satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply
         with the provisions of this Article Fifteen applicable to it) as trust
         funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
         specifically pledged as security for the benefit of, and dedicated
         solely to, the Holders of such Securities and any related coupons, (A)
         Dollars in an amount, or (B) Government Obligations which through the
         scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
         accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before
         the due date of any payment, Dollars in an amount, or (C) a combination
         thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
         independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
         thereof delivered to the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee), to pay
         and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other
         qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) each installment of
         principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Outstanding
         Securities and any related coupons on the Stated Maturity (or
         Redemption Date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any)
         or interest on the day on which such payments are due and payable in
         accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Securities of such
         series and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and (ii) any
         mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to
         such Outstanding Securities and any related coupons on the due dates
         thereof. Before such a deposit, the Company may give to the Trustee, in
         accordance with Section 1102 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem
         all or any portion of such Outstanding Securities at a future date in
         accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series and Article
         Eleven hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable
         redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the
         foregoing.

                  (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such
         Securities or any related coupons shall have occurred and be continuing
         (A) on the date of such deposit or (B) insofar as paragraphs (4) and
         (5) of Section 501 are concerned, at any time during the period ending
         on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on
         the day following the expiration of the longest preference period
         applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being
         understood that the condition in this clause (B) is a condition
         subsequent and shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of
         such period).

                                       82
<PAGE>

                  (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (A) cause
         the Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting
         interest as defined in TIA Section 310(b) or otherwise for purposes of
         the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the Company
         or (B) result in the trust arising from such deposit to constitute,
         unless it is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  (4) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in
         a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture
         or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a
         party or by which it is bound.

                  (5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any
         Securities of such series then listed on any registered national
         securities exchange under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
         amended, to be delisted.

                  (6) In the case of an election under Section 1502, the Company
         shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that
         (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
         Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of execution
         of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal
         income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
         such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding
         Securities of such series and any related coupons will not recognize
         income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
         such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
         amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
         the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

                  (7) In the case of an election under Section 1503, the Company
         shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
         that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series and any
         related coupons will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
         income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be
         subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
         and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant
         defeasance had not occurred.

                  (8) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected
         in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations
         which may be imposed in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

                  (9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
         conditions precedent and subsequent provided for in this Indenture
         relating to either the defeasance under Section 1502 or the covenant
         defeasance under Section 1503 (as the case may be) have been complied
         with.

                  SECTION 1505. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be
Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the

related coupons shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Securities and any related coupons and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company or the Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any related coupons of all
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.

time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property
and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1504 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in

effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in
accordance with this Article.

                  SECTION 1506. Reinstatement. Anything herein to the contrary

Obligations (or the proceeds thereof) either (i) cannot be applied by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent in accordance with Section 1505 because of any order

otherwise prohibiting such application or (ii) are for any reason insufficient
in amount, then (x) the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations, if any, to
pay principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of such series
and any related coupons shall be reinstated to the extent necessary to cover the
deficiency on any due date for payment and (y) in the case of a covenant
defeasance under Section 1503, the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations, if
any, under any Sections applicable to such Securities that are determined
pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision shall be reinstated
unless and until all deficiencies on any due date for payment are covered. In
any case specified in clause (i), the Company's interest in the deposited money
and Government Obligations (and proceeds thereof) shall be reinstated to the
extent the Company's payment obligations are reinstated.

Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series

place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or in London as the
Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any

the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have

by giving notice thereof as provided in subsection (a) of this Section.

or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or
taken by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount

specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series shall 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 Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved. In any other
case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as
determined by the 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

given as provided in Section 1602(a), except that such notice need be given only

<PAGE>

reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as
provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series which shall constitute a quorum.

                  Except as limited by the proviso to the first paragraph of
Section 902, 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 principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as
limited by the first paragraph of the proviso to Section 902, any resolution
with respect to any consent, waiver, request, demand, notice, authorization,
direction or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made,
given or taken by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage, in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series 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 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series.

                  Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of
Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section
shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the related
coupons, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1604,
if any action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series
with respect to any consent, waiver, request, demand, notice, authorization,
direction or other action that this Indenture expressly provides may be made,
given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of
all Outstanding Securities affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series
and one or more additional series:

                  (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such
         meeting; and

                  (ii) the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
         such series that vote in favor of such consent, waiver, request,
         demand, notice, authorization, direction or other action shall be taken
         into account in determining whether such request, demand,
         authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has
         been made, given or taken under this Indenture.

                  SECTION 1605. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and
Adjournment of Meetings. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem
advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard to
proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the 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. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such
regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified
in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner
specified in Section 104 or by having the signature of the Person executing the
proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by
Section

                                       86
<PAGE>


104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide
that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be
presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other
proof.

                  (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by
the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1602(b), in which
case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting,
as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by
vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

                  (c) At any meeting of the Holders, each Holder of a Security
of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by such
Holder; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting
in respect of any Security 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, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

                  (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly
called pursuant to Section 1602 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned
from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the
meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

                  SECTION 1606. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.
The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities
of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the
signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their
representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the
Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent
chairman of the meeting 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
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of
the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any Series 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
fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said
notice was given as provided in Section 1602 and, if applicable, Section 1604.
Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to
the Company and another 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.

                  This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts,

counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Indenture.
