of the Company to treat all or any portion of the Additional Junior Indebtedness
as  Tier  1 capital shall not disqualify it as Additional Junior Indebtedness if
such  inability  results  from  the  Company  having cumulative preferred stock,
minority  interests in consolidated subsidiaries, or any other class of security
or interest which the Federal Reserve now or may hereafter accord Tier 1 capital
treatment  (including  the Debentures) in excess of the amount which may qualify
for  treatment  as  Tier 1 capital under applicable capital adequacy guidelines.

or  any  portion  of  the liquidation amount of the Capital Securities as Tier l
Capital  shall  not  constitute the basis for a Capital Treatment Event, if such
inability  results  from the Company having cumulative preferred stock, minority
interests  in  consolidated  subsidiaries,  or  any  other  class of security or
interest  which  the Federal Reserve or OTS, as applicable, may now or hereafter
accord  Tier  1  Capital  treatment  in  excess  of  the amount which may now or
hereafter  qualify  for  treatment  as  Tier  1 Capital under applicable capital
adequacy  guidelines;  provided  further,  however,  that  the  distribution  of
                       --------  -------   -------
Debentures  in  connection with the liquidation of the Trust shall not in and of
itself  constitute  a Capital Treatment Event unless such liquidation shall have
occurred  in  connection  with  a  Tax  Event  or  an  Investment Company Event.

payments  on  such  Debentures, and such purported transferee shall be deemed to

Company  shall  be  conclusive  evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has
been  duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled
to  the  benefits  of  this  Indenture.

     In  case  any  officer  of  the  Company  who  shall have signed any of the
Debentures  shall cease to be such officer before the Debentures so signed shall
have  been  authenticated  and  delivered  by  the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent,  or  disposed  of  by  the  Company,  such Debentures nevertheless may be
authenticated  and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such
Debentures  had  not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debenture
may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of
the  execution  of  such Debenture, shall be the proper officers of the Company,

such  an  officer.

other  form  capable  of  being  converted into written form within a reasonable
time.

     Debentures  to  be  exchanged may be surrendered at the Principal Office of
the  Trustee or at any office or agency to be maintained by the Company for such
purpose  as  provided in Section 3.2, and the Company shall execute, the Company
or  the Trustee shall register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate  and make available for delivery in exchange therefor the Debenture
or


                                        8

Debentures  which  the  Securityholder  making the exchange shall be entitled to
receive.  Upon  due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debenture at
the  Principal  Office  of the Trustee or at any office or agency of the Company
maintained  for  such  purpose  as  provided  in  Section 3.2, the Company shall
execute,  the  Company  or  the  Trustee  shall  register and the Trustee or the
Authenticating  Agent  shall authenticate and make available for delivery in the
name  of  the  transferee  or  transferees  a new Debenture for a like aggregate
principal  amount.  Registration or registration of transfer of any Debenture by
the  Trustee  or  by any agent of the Company appointed pursuant to Section 3.2,
and  delivery of such Debenture, shall be deemed to complete the registration or
registration  of  transfer  of  such  Debenture.

     All  Debentures  presented  for registration of transfer or for exchange or
payment  shall  (if  so  required  by  the  Company  or  the  Trustee  or  the
Authenticating  Agent)  be  duly  endorsed  by,  or  be accompanied by a written
instrument  or  instruments  of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the  Trustee  or  the  Authenticating  Agent  duly executed by the holder or his
attorney  duly  authorized  in  writing.

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

     The  Company or the Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a
transfer  of  any  Debenture  for a period of 15 days next preceding the date of
selection  of  Debentures  for  redemption.

     Notwithstanding  anything  herein  to  the  contrary, Debentures may not be
transferred except in compliance with the restricted securities legend set forth
below,  unless  otherwise  determined by the Company, upon the advice of counsel
expert  in  securities  law,  in  accordance  with  applicable  law:

     SECTION  2.6.     MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN DEBENTURES.  In case
                       -----------------------------------------------
any  Debenture  shall  become  mutilated  or  be  destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Company  shall  execute,  and  upon  its  written  request  the  Trustee  shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Debenture bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding,  in  exchange  and  substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in
lieu  of and in substitution for the Debenture so destroyed, lost or stolen.  In
every  case  the  applicant  for  a  substituted  Debenture shall furnish to the
Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save  each  of  them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft,
the  applicant  shall  also  furnish  to the Company and the Trustee evidence to
their  satisfaction  of  the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of
the  ownership  thereof.

     The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Debenture and deliver the
same  upon  the  written request or authorization of any officer of the Company.
Upon  the  issuance  of  any  substituted


                                       10
<PAGE>
Debenture,  the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other  expenses connected therewith.  In case any Debenture which has matured or
is  about  to  mature  or  has  been  called for redemption in full shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a
substitute  Debenture,  pay  or  authorize  the  payment  of  the  same (without
surrender  thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture) if the applicant
for  such  payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or
indemnity  as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and, in case
of  destruction,  loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and to the
Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership
thereof.

     Every  substituted  Debenture  issued  pursuant  to  the provisions of this
Section  2.6 by virtue of the fact that any such Debenture is destroyed, lost or
stolen  shall  constitute  an  additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether  or  not  the  destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any
time,  and  shall  be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately  with  any  and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder.  All
Debentures  shall  be  held  and  owned  upon the express condition that, to the
extent  permitted by applicable law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with
respect  to  the  replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Debentures  and  shall  preclude  any  and  all  other  rights  or  remedies
notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary
with  respect  to  the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities  without  their  surrender.

     SECTION 2.7.     TEMPORARY  DEBENTURES.  Pending  the  preparation  of
                      --------------------
definitive  Debentures,  the  Company  may  execute  and  the  Trustee  shall
authenticate  and  make  available  for  delivery  temporary Debentures that are
typed,  printed  or  lithographed. Temporary Debentures shall be issuable in any
authorized  denomination,  and  substantially  in  the  form  of  the definitive
Debentures  in lieu of which they are issued but with such omissions, insertions
and  variations  as  may  be appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be
determined  by  the Company. Every such temporary Debenture shall be executed by
the  Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in
substantially  the  same  manner,  and  with  the same effect, as the definitive
Debentures.  Without  unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to
the  Trustee or the Authenticating Agent definitive Debentures and thereupon any
or  all  temporary  Debentures  may  be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the
principal  corporate  trust  office  of  the  Trustee or at any office or agency
maintained  by  the Company for such purpose as provided in Section 3.2, and the
Trustee  or  the  Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and make available for
delivery  in  exchange  for such temporary Debentures a like aggregate principal
amount of such definitive Debentures. Such exchange shall be made by the Company
at  its  own  expense and without any charge therefor except that in case of any
such  exchange  involving  a  registration  of  transfer the Company may require
payment  of  a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge
that  may  be  imposed  in  relation  thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Debentures  shall  in  all  respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture  as  definitive  Debentures  authenticated  and  delivered  hereunder.

     SECTION  2.8.     PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL INTEREST.  Interest at
                       -------------------------------------------
the  Interest Rate and any Additional Interest on any Debenture that is payable,
and  is  punctually  paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for
Debentures  shall  be paid to the Person in whose name said Debenture (or one or
more  Predecessor  Securities)  is  registered  at  the close of business on the
regular  record  date for such interest installment except that interest and any
Additional  Interest payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Person to
whom  principal  is  paid.

     Each  Debenture  shall  bear  interest  for  the  period  beginning on (and
including)  the date of original issuance and ending on (but excluding) June 26,
2003  at  a  rate  per  annum  of  4.41063%,  and  shall  bear interest for each
successive  period  beginning  on  (and  including)  June  26,  2003,  and  each
succeeding


                                       11
<PAGE>
Interest  Payment  Date,  and  ending  on  (but  excluding)  the next succeeding
Interest  Payment Date (each, a "Distribution Period") at a rate per annum equal
                                 -------------------
to  the  3-Month LIBOR, determined as described in Section 2.10, plus 3.15% (the
"Coupon Rate"); provided, however, that prior to March 26, 2008, the Coupon Rate
 -----------    --------  -------
shall  not  exceed  11.75%,  applied  to the principal amount thereof, until the
principal  thereof  becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and to
the  extent  that  payment  of such interest is enforceable under applicable law
(without  duplication)  on  any  overdue  installment  of  interest  (including
Additional  Interest)  at the Interest Rate in effect for each applicable period
compounded  quarterly.  Interest  shall  be  payable  (subject  to  any relevant
Extension  Period)  quarterly  in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with the
first  installment  of  interest  to  be  paid  on  June  26,  2003.

     Any  interest  on  any  Debenture,  including  Additional Interest, 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 on the relevant regular record date by virtue
of  having  been  such  holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the
Company  to  the  Persons  in  whose  names such Debentures (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 at least
25  days  prior  to  the date of the proposed payment of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each such Debenture and the date of the proposed
payment,  and  at  the  same  time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount  of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such  Defaulted  Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for  such  deposit  prior  to  the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited  to  be  held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted  Interest as in this clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall fix
a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not
be  more than 15 nor 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 Securityholder
at  its  address  as it appears in the Debenture 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
such  Debentures  (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on
such  special  record  date  and  shall  be  no  longer  payable.

     The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Debentures in
any  other lawful manner after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed  payment  method; provided, however, the Trustee in its sole discretion
                           --------  -------
deems  such  payment  method  to  be  practical.

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

     The term "regular record date" as used in this Section shall mean the close
of  business  on  the  15th  calendar day next preceding the applicable Interest
Payment  Date.

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

     SECTION  2.9.     CANCELLATION OF  DEBENTURES  PAID,  ETC.  All  Debentures
                       ---------------------------------------
surrendered  for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of
transfer,  shall,  if  surrendered  to  the  Company  or  any  paying  agent, be
surrendered  to  the  Trustee  and  promptly  canceled  by  it,  or,  if


                                       12
<PAGE>
surrendered  to  the  Trustee  or  any  Authenticating  Agent, shall be promptly
canceled  by  it,  and  no  Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as
expressly  permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.  All Debentures
canceled  by  any  Authenticating  Agent shall be delivered to the Trustee.  The
Trustee  shall  destroy  all  canceled  Debentures  unless the Company otherwise
directs  the  Trustee  in  writing.  If  the  Company  shall  acquire any of the
Debentures,  however,  such  acquisition  shall  not  operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and until
the  same  are  surrendered  to  the  Trustee  for  cancellation.

     SECTION  2.10.     COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.  The amount of interest payable
                        -----------------------
for  the  Distribution  Period  commencing  on June 26, 2003 and each succeeding
Distribution  Period  will  be  calculated  by applying the Interest Rate to the
principal  amount outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and
multiplying  each  such  amount by the actual number of days in the Distribution
Period  concerned  divided by 360.  In the event that any date on which interest
is  payable  on  the  Debentures is not a Business Day, then payment of interest
payable  on  such  date  shall  be  made  on  the next succeeding day which is a
Business  Day  (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such
delay),  except  that,  if  such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar
year,  such  payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in
each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was
originally  payable.  All  percentages  resulting  from  any calculations on the
Debentures  will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth
of  a  percentage  point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upward  (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655),
and  all  dollar  amounts  used  in  or  resulting from such calculation will be
rounded  to  the  nearest  cent  (with  one-half  cent  being  rounded upward)).

     (a)     "3-Month  LIBOR"  means  the London interbank offered interest rate
              --------------
for three-month, U.S. dollar deposits determined by the Trustee in the following
order  of  priority:

          (1)     the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for U.S. dollar
     deposits  having  a three-month maturity that appears on Telerate Page 3750
     as  of  11:00  a.m.  (London  time)  on  the related Determination Date (as
     defined  below). "Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated as "Page
     3750"  on  the Dow Jones Telerate Service or such other page as may replace
     Page  3750  on  that  service  or  such other service or services as may be
     nominated by the British Bankers' Association as the information vendor for
     the  purpose  of  displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar
     deposits;

          (2)     if such rate cannot be identified on the related Determination
     Date, the Trustee will request the principal London offices of four leading
     banks  in  the  London  interbank  market  to  provide  such banks' offered
     quotations  (expressed  as  percentages  per  annum)  to prime banks in the
     London  interbank  market  for  U.S.  dollar  deposits having a three-month
     maturity  as  of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination Date. If at
     least  two  quotations  are  provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic
     mean  of  such  quotations;

          (3)     if fewer than two such quotations are provided as requested in
     clause  (2)  above, the Trustee will request four major New York City banks
     to  provide  such  banks'  offered quotations (expressed as percentages per
     annum) to leading European banks for loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m.
     (London  time)  on such Determination Date. If at least two such quotations
     are provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations;
     and

          (4)     if fewer than two such quotations are provided as requested in
     clause  (3)  above,  3-Month  LIBOR will be a 3-Month LIBOR determined with
     respect  to  the  Distribution  Period  immediately  preceding such current
     Distribution  Period.


                                       13
<PAGE>
     If  the  rate  for  U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that
initially  appears  on  Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the
related  Determination  Date  is  superseded  on  the  Telerate  Page  3750 by a
corrected  rate by 12:00 noon (London time) on such Determination Date, then the
corrected  rate  as so substituted on the applicable page will be the applicable
3-Month  LIBOR  for  such  Determination  Date.

     (b)     The  Interest  Rate  for any Distribution Period will at no time be
higher  than  the maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be
modified  by  United  States  law.

     (c)     "Determination Date" means the date that is two London Banking Days
              ------------------
(i.e.,  a  business  day  in  which  dealings  in  deposits  in U.S. dollars are
transacted in the London interbank market) preceding the particular Distribution
Period  for  which  a  Coupon  Rate  is  being  determined.

     (d)     The Trustee shall notify the Company, the Institutional Trustee and
any  securities  exchange  or  interdealer quotation system on which the Capital
Securities  are  listed,  of the Coupon Rate and the Determination Date for each
Distribution Period, in each case as soon as practicable after the determination
thereof  but  in  no  event  later than the thirtieth (30th) day of the relevant
Distribution  Period.  Failure  to notify the Company, the Institutional Trustee
or  any  securities  exchange  or interdealer quotation system, or any defect in
said  notice,  shall not affect the obligation of the Company to make payment on
the  Debentures  at the applicable Coupon Rate.  Any error in the calculation of
the  Coupon Rate by the Trustee may be corrected at any time by notice delivered
as  above  provided.  Upon  the  request of a holder of a Debenture, the Trustee
shall provide the Coupon Rate then in effect and, if determined, the Coupon Rate
for  the  next  Distribution  Period.

     (e)     Subject to the corrective rights set forth above, all certificates,
communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions
given,  expressed,  made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions relating
to  the  payment and calculation of interest on the Debentures and distributions
on  the  Capital Securities by the Trustee or the Institutional Trustee will (in
the  absence  of  willful  default,  bad  faith  and  manifest  error) be final,
conclusive  and  binding on the Trust, the Company and all of the holders of the
Debentures and the Capital Securities, and no liability shall (in the absence of
willful  default,  bad  faith  or  manifest  error) attach to the Trustee or the
Institutional  Trustee in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by either
of  them  or  their  respective  powers,  duties  and  discretion.

     SECTION  2.11.     EXTENSION  OF  INTEREST  PAYMENT  PERIOD.  So long as no
                        ----------------------------------------
Event  of  Default  has  occurred  and is continuing, the Company shall have the
right,  from  time  to  time,  and without causing an Event of Default, to defer
payments  of interest on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period
on  the  Debentures  at  any  time  and from time to time during the term of the
Debentures,  for  up  to  20  consecutive  quarterly periods (each such extended
interest  payment  period, an "Extension Period"), during which Extension Period
no interest (including Additional Interest) shall be due and payable (except any
Additional  Sums  that may be due and payable). No Extension Period may end on a
date  other  than an Interest Payment Date. During an Extension Period, interest
will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest
will  accrue  at  an  annual  rate equal to the Interest Rate in effect for such
Extension  Period,  compounded  quarterly from the date such interest would have
been  payable  were  it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by
law  (such  interest referred to herein as "Additional Interest"). At the end of
any  such  Extension  Period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and
unpaid  on the Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided,
however,  that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date; provided
further,  however,  that during any such Extension Period, the Company shall not
and  shall  not  permit  any  Affiliate  to  (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions  on,  or  redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment
with  respect  to, any of the Company's or such Affiliate's capital stock (other
than  payments  of  dividends  or  distributions  to  the  Company)  or make any
guarantee  payments  with  respect  to  the  foregoing  or


                                       14

(ii)  make  any  payment  of  principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or
repay,  repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company or any Affiliate
that  rank  pari  passu  in  all  respects  with  or  junior  in interest to the
Debentures  (other  than,  with  respect  to  clauses  (i)  or  (ii)  above,
(a)repurchases,  redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of
the  Company  in  connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other
similar  arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers,
directors  or  consultants,  in  connection  with  a  dividend  reinvestment  or
stockholder  stock  purchase  plan or in connection with the issuance of capital
stock  of  the  Company  (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such
capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior
to the applicable Extension Period, (b)as a result of any exchange or conversion
of any class or series of the Company's capital stock (or any capital stock of a
subsidiary  of  the  Company)  for  any class or series of the Company's capital
stock  or  of any class or series of the Company's indebtedness for any class or
series  of  the Company's capital stock, (c)the purchase of fractional interests
in  shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions  of  such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged,
(d)any  declaration  of  a  dividend in connection with any stockholders' rights
plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholders'
rights  plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, (e)any
dividend  in  the  form  of  stock,  warrants, options or other rights where the
dividend  stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or
other  rights  is  the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or
ranks  pari  passu with or junior to such stock and any cash payments in lieu of
fractional  shares  issued  in  connection  therewith,  or (f)payments under the
Capital Securities Guarantee). Prior to the termination of any Extension Period,
the  Company  may further extend such period, provided that such period together
with  all  such  previous  and  further consecutive extensions thereof shall not
exceed  20  consecutive  quarterly  periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date.
Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued
and  unpaid  interest  and  Additional  Interest, the Company may commence a new
Extension  Period,  subject  to  the  foregoing  requirements.  No  interest  or
Additional  Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except
at  the  end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have
been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest
to  the  extent  permitted  by applicable law. The Company must give the Trustee
notice  of  its  election  to  begin  or  extend  an Extension Period at least 5
Business  Days prior to the regular record date (as such term is used in Section
2.8)  immediately  preceding  the  Interest  Payment  Date with respect to which
interest  on  the  Debentures would have been payable except for the election to
begin  or  extend  such  Extension  Period. The Trustee shall give notice of the
Company's  election  to  begin  a  new  Extension Period to the Securityholders.

     SECTION  2.12.     CUSIP NUMBERS. The Company in issuing the Debentures may
                        -------------
use CUSIP  numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use
CUSIP  numbers  in  notices  of  redemption as a convenience to Securityholders;
provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made
as  to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debentures or as
contained  in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the  other  identification  numbers  printed  on  the  Debentures,  and any such
redemption  shall  not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
The  Company  will  promptly  notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the
CUSIP  numbers.

                                  ARTICLE III.
                       PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
                       -----------------------------------

     SECTION  3.1.     PAYMENT  OF  PRINCIPAL,  PREMIUM  AND  INTEREST;  AGREED
                       --------------------------------------------------------
TREATMENT  OF  THE  DEBENTURES.
------------------------------

     (a)     The  Company  covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually
pay  or  cause to be paid the principal of and premium, if any, and interest and
any  Additional  Interest  and  other  payments  on


                                       15
<PAGE>
the  Debentures at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided
in  this  Indenture  and  the  Debentures.  Each  installment of interest on the
Debentures  may  be  paid (i) by mailing checks for such interest payable to the
order  of  the  holders  of  Debentures  entitled  thereto as they appear on the
registry  books  of  the  Company  if a request for a wire transfer has not been
received  by  the Company or (ii) by wire transfer to any account with a banking
institution located in the United States designated in writing by such Person to
the  paying  agent  no  later than the related record date.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the holder of this Debenture is the Institutional Trustee,
the  payment  of the principal of and interest on this Debenture will be made in
immediately  available  funds  at  such  place  and  to  such  account as may be
designated  by  the  Institutional  Trustee.

     (b)     The  Company  will  treat  the  Debentures as indebtedness, and the
amounts  payable  in  respect  of  the  principal  amount  of such Debentures as
interest,  for  all  United States federal income tax purposes.  All payments in
respect  of  such  Debentures  will  be  made  free  and  clear of United States
withholding  tax  to  any beneficial owner thereof that has provided an Internal
Revenue  Service  Form W8 BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing
its  non-United  States  status  for  United States federal income tax purposes.

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

     (d)     As  of  the  date  of this Indenture, the Company believes that the
likelihood that it would exercise its right under Section 2.11 to defer payments
of  interest  on  the  Debentures  by commencing an Extension Period at any time
during  which  the  Debentures  are  outstanding  is  remote  because  of  the
restrictions  that  would  be imposed on the Company's ability to declare or pay
dividends  or  distributions  on,  or  to redeem, purchase or make a liquidation
payment  with  respect  to,  any  of its outstanding equity and on the Company's
ability  to  make  any payments of principal of or interest on, or repurchase or
redeem, any of its debt securities that rank pari passu in all respects with (or
junior  in  interest  to)  the  Debentures.

     SECTION  3.2.     OFFICES FOR  NOTICES AND PAYMENTS, ETC. So long as any of
                       --------------------------------------
the  Debentures  remain  outstanding,  the  Company  will  maintain in Hartford,
Connecticut,  an  office  or  agency  where  the Debentures may be presented for
payment,  an  office  or  agency  where  the  Debentures  may  be  presented for
registration  of  transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and an
office  or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of
the Debentures or of this Indenture may be served.  The Company will give to the
Trustee  written  notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any
change of location thereof.  Until otherwise designated from time to time by the
Company in a notice to the Trustee, or specified as contemplated by Section 2.5,
such  office  or  agency  for  all  of the above purposes shall be the office or
agency  of  the  Trustee.  In  case  the Company shall fail to maintain any such
office  or agency in Hartford, Connecticut, or shall fail to give such notice of
the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands
may  be  made  and notices may be served at the Principal Office of the Trustee.

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

     SECTION  3.3.     APPOINTMENTS  TO FILL VACANCIES IN TRUSTEE'S OFFICE.  The
                       ---------------------------------------------------
Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee,
will  appoint,  in  the manner provided in Section 6.9, a Trustee, so that there
shall  at  all  times  be  a  Trustee  hereunder.

     SECTION  3.4.     PROVISION  AS  TO  PAYING  AGENT.
                       --------------------------------

     (a)     If the Company shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee,
it  will  cause  such  paying  agent  to  execute  and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument  in  which  such  agent  shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provision  of  this  Section  3.4,

               (1)     that  it  will  hold  all  sums  held by it as such agent
               for  the  payment  of  the  principal  of and premium, if any, or
               interest,  if any, on the Debentures (whether such sums have been
               paid  to  it  by  the  Company  or  by  any  other obligor on the
               Debentures)  in  trust  for  the  benefit  of  the holders of the
               Debentures;

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

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

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

     Whenever  the  Company  shall  have  one  or  more  paying  agents  for the
Debentures,  it  will,  on  or  prior  to  each due date of the principal of and
premium,  if  any, or interest, if any, on the Debentures, deposit with a paying
agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, interest or other payments
so  becoming  due,  such  sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company shall
promptly  notify  the  Trustee  in  writing  of  its  action  or failure to act.

     (c)     Anything  in  this Section 3.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company  may,  at  any  time,  for  the  purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and
discharge  with  respect  to  the  Debentures,  or for any other reason, pay, or
direct  any  paying  agent  to  pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Company  or  any such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the
trusts  herein  contained.

     (d)     Anything  in  this Section 3.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
agreement  to  hold  sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.4 is subject to
Sections  12.3  and  12.4.

     SECTION  3.5.     CERTIFICATE  TO TRUSTEE. The  Company will deliver to the
                       -----------------------
Trustee  on  or  before  120 days  after the end of each fiscal year, so long as
Debentures  are  outstanding hereunder, a Certificate stating that in the course
of  the  performance  by  the signers of their duties as officers of the Company
they would normally have knowledge of any default during such fiscal year by the
Company in the performance of any covenants contained herein, stating whether or
not  they  have  knowledge  of  any  such


                                       17
<PAGE>
default  and,  if  so,  specifying  each  such default of which the signers have
knowledge  and  the  nature  and  status  thereof.

     SECTION  3.6.     ADDITIONAL SUMS. If  and  for so long as the Trust is the
                       ---------------
holder  of  all Debentures and the Trust is required to pay any additional taxes
(including withholding taxes), duties, assessments or other governmental charges
as  a  result  of  a  Tax  Event,  the  Company will pay such additional amounts
("Additional  Sums")  on  the  Debentures  as  shall be required so that the net
amounts  received  and  retained  by  the  Trust  after  paying taxes (including
withholding  taxes),  duties,  assessments or other governmental charges will be
equal  to  the  amounts  the Trust would have received if no such taxes, duties,
assessments  or  other  governmental charges had been imposed.  Whenever in this
Indenture  or  the Debentures there is a reference in any context to the payment
of  principal  of or interest on the Debentures, such mention shall be deemed to
include  mention  of  payments  of  the  Additional  Sums  provided  for in this
paragraph  to  the  extent  that,  in such context, Additional Sums are, were or
would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
and  express  mention  of  the payment of Additional Sums (if applicable) in any
provisions  hereof  shall not be construed as excluding Additional Sums in those
provisions  hereof  where  such  express mention is not made; provided, however,
that the deferral of the payment of interest during an Extension Period pursuant
to  Section 2.11  shall not defer the payment of any Additional Sums that may be
due  and  payable.

     SECTION  3.7.     COMPLIANCE  WITH  CONSOLIDATION  PROVISIONS.  The Company
                       -------------------------------------------
will  not,  while any of the Debentures remain outstanding, consolidate with, or
merge  into, or merge into itself, or sell or convey all or substantially all of
its  property to any other Person unless the provisions of Article XI hereof are
complied  with.

     SECTION 3.8.     LIMITATION  ON  DIVIDENDS.  If  Debentures  are  initially
                      -------------------------
issued  to  the Trust or a trustee of such Trust in connection with the issuance
of  Trust  Securities by the Trust (regardless of whether Debentures continue to
be  held  by  such Trust) and (i) there shall have occurred and be continuing an
Event  of  Default,  (ii) the  Company  shall  be in default with respect to its
payment  of any obligations under the Capital Securities Guarantee, or (iii) the
Company shall have given notice of its election to defer payments of interest on
the  Debentures  by extending the interest payment period as provided herein and
such  period,  or  any  extension thereof, shall be continuing, then the Company
shall  not,  and  shall not allow any Affiliate of the Company to, (x)declare or
pay  any  dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a
liquidation  payment  with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock or its
Affiliates'  capital stock (other than payments of dividends or distributions to
the Company) or make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing or (y)
make  any  payment  of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase  or  redeem  any debt securities of the Company or any Affiliate that
rank  pari  passu  in  all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures
(other  than,  with  respect  to  clauses  (x)  and  (y) above, (1) repurchases,
redemptions  or  other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Company in
connection  with  any  employment  contract,  benefit  plan  or  other  similar
arrangement  with  or  for  the  benefit  of  one  or  more employees, officers,
directors  or  consultants,  in  connection  with  a  dividend  reinvestment  or
stockholder  stock  purchase  plan or in connection with the issuance of capital
stock  of  the  Company  (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such
capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior
to  the  applicable Extension Period, if any, (2) as a result of any exchange or
conversion of any class or series of the Company's capital stock (or any capital
stock  of  a subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company's
capital  stock  or  of any class or series of the Company's indebtedness for any
class  or  series of the Company's capital stock, (3) the purchase of fractional
interests in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or
exchange  provisions  of  such  capital stock or the security being converted or
exchanged,  (4)  any  declaration  of  a  dividend  in  connection  with  any
stockholders'  rights  plan,  or the issuance of rights, stock or other property
under  any  stockholders' rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant  thereto,  (5)  any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or
other  rights  where  the  dividend  stock


                                       18
<PAGE>
or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is
the  same  stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu
with  or junior to such stock and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares
issued  in  connection  therewith, or  (6) payments under the Capital Securities
Guarantee).

     SECTION  3.9.     COVENANTS  AS  TO  THE  TRUST.  For  so long as the Trust
                       -----------------------------
Securities  remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain 100% ownership of the
Common  Securities;  provided,  however,  that  any  permitted  successor of the
Company  under  this  Indenture  may  succeed to the Company's ownership of such
Common  Securities.  The  Company,  as  owner  of  the Common Securities, shall,
except  in  connection with a distribution of Debentures to the holders of Trust
Securities  in  liquidation  of  the  Trust,  the redemption of all of the Trust
Securities  or  certain  mergers,  consolidations  or  amalgamations,  each  as
permitted  by the Declaration, cause the Trust  (a) to remain a statutory trust,
(b)  to otherwise continue to be classified as a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes, and (c) to cause each holder of Trust Securities to
be  treated  as  owning  an  undivided  beneficial  interest  in the Debentures.

     SECTION 3.10.     ADDITIONAL  JUNIOR  INDEBTEDNESS.  The Company shall not,
                       --------------------------------
and  it shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, incur, issue
or  be  obligated  on  any  Additional  Junior  Indebtedness, either directly or
indirectly,  by way of guarantee, suretyship or otherwise, other than Additional
Junior  Indebtedness  (i) that,  by  its terms, is expressly stated to be either
junior  and  subordinate  or pari  passu  in all respects to the Debentures, and
(ii)  of  which  the  Company  has  notified  (and,  if  then required under the
applicable  guidelines of the regulating entity, has received approval from) the
Federal  Reserve,  if  the Company is a bank holding company, or the OTS, if the
Company  is  a  savings  and  loan  holding  company.

                       ----------------------------------
                         BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE
                         ------------------------------

     SECTION  4.1.     SECURITYHOLDERS' LISTS. The  Company covenants and agrees
                       ----------------------
that  it  will  furnish  or  caused  to  be  furnished  to  the  Trustee:

     (a)     on  each  regular  record  date for the Debentures, a list, in such
form  as  the  Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Securityholders  of  the  Debentures  as  of  such  record  date;  and

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

except  that  no  such lists need be furnished under this Section 4.1 so long as
the  Trustee  is  in  possession  thereof  by  reason of its acting as Debenture
registrar.

     SECTION  4.2.     PRESERVATION  AND  DISCLOSURE  OF  LISTS.
                       ----------------------------------------

     (a)     The  Trustee  shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable,  all  information  as  to the names and addresses of the holders of
Debentures  (1) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in
Section 4.1 or (2) received by it in the capacity of Debentures registrar (if so
acting) hereunder.  The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided
in  Section  4.1  upon  receipt  of  a  new  list  so  furnished.

     (b)     In  case  three or more holders of Debentures (hereinafter referred
to  as  "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish to the Trustee
reasonable  proof  that  each  such  applicant  has  owned  a


                                       19
<PAGE>
Debenture  for  a  period  of  at  least  6  months  preceding  the date of such
application,  and  such  application  states  that  the  applicants  desire  to
communicate  with other holders of Debentures with respect to their rights under
this Indenture or under such Debentures and is accompanied by a copy of the form
of  proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then
the  Trustee shall within 5 Business Days after the receipt of such application,
at  its  election,  either:

               (1)    afford such applicants access to the information preserved
               at  the  time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
               subsection  (a)  of  this  Section  4.2,  or

               (2)    inform  such  applicants  as  to the approximate number of
               holders  of  Debentures  whose  names and addresses appear in the
               information  preserved  at  the time by the Trustee in accordance
               with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 4.2, and as
               to  the  approximate  cost of mailing to such Securityholders the
               form  of  proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such
               application.

     If  the  Trustee  shall  elect not to afford such applicants access to such
information,  the  Trustee  shall,  upon the written request of such applicants,
mail  to  each  Securityholder  whose name and address appear in the information
preserved  at  the  time  by  the  Trustee  in accordance with the provisions of
subsection  (a)  of  this  Section  4.2  a  copy  of  the form of proxy or other
communication  which  is  specified  in  such request with reasonable promptness
after  a  tender  to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or
provision  for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within
five  days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file
with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  if  permitted  or required by
applicable  law,  together  with  a copy of the material to be mailed, a written
statement  to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would
be  contrary to the best interests of the holders of all Debentures, as the case
may  be,  or  would  be  in violation of applicable law.  Such written statement
shall  specify  the  basis of such opinion.  If said Commission, as permitted or
required  by applicable law, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections
specified  in  the  written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to
sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one
or  more  of  such  objections,  said  Commission  shall  find, after notice and
opportunity  for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and
shall  enter  an  order  so  declaring,  the  Trustee  shall mail copies of such
material  to all such Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry
of  such  order  and  the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be
relieved  of  any  obligation  or  duty  to  such  applicants  respecting  their
application.

     (c)     Each  and  every holder of Debentures, by receiving and holding the
same,  agrees  with  Company  and  the  Trustee that neither the Company nor the
Trustee  nor  any  paying  agent  shall  be  held  accountable  by reason of the
disclosure  of any such information as to the names and addresses of the holders
of  Debentures  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of subsection (b) of this
Section  4.2,  regardless of the source from which such information was derived,
and  that  the  Trustee  shall  not be held accountable by reason of mailing any
material  pursuant  to  a  request  made  under  said  subsection  (b).

                                   ARTICLE V.
                   REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS
                   -------------------------------------------
                            UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
                            ------------------------

     SECTION  5.1.     EVENTS  OF  DEFAULT. Event  of  Default,"  wherever  used
                       -------------------
herein,  means  any  one  of  the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any  order,  rule  or  regulation  of  any administrative or governmental body):

     (a)     the  Company  defaults  in  the  payment  of  any interest upon any
Debenture  when it becomes due and payable, and fails to cure such default for a
period  of  30  days;  provided,  however,  that  a
                       --------   -------


                                       20
<PAGE>
valid  extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with
the  terms  of  this  Indenture shall not constitute a default in the payment of
interest  for  this  purpose;  or

     (b)     the  Company  defaults  in  the  payment  of all or any part of the
principal  of (or premium, if any, on) any Debentures as and when the same shall
become  due  and  payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration of
acceleration  or  otherwise;  or

     (c)     the Company defaults in the performance of, or breaches, any of its
covenants  or  agreements  in  this  Indenture or in the terms of the Debentures
established  as  contemplated  in  this  Indenture  (other  than  a  covenant or
agreement  a  default  in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this
Section  specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for
a period of 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 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, 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

     (d)     a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for
relief  in  respect  of  the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy,  insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect,  or  appointing  a  receiver,  liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of
its  property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and such
decree  or  order  shall  remain  unstayed  and  in  effect  for  a period of 90
consecutive  days;  or

     (e)     the  Company  shall  commence a voluntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy,  insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case
under  any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession
by  a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other
similar  official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or
shall  make  any  general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail
generally  to  pay  its  debts  as  they  become  due;  or

     (f)     the  Trust  shall  have  voluntarily  or  involuntarily liquidated,
dissolved, wound-up its business or otherwise terminated its existence except in
connection  with (i) the distribution of the Debentures to holders of such Trust
Securities  in  liquidation of their interests in the Trust, (ii) the redemption
of  all  of  the  outstanding  Trust  Securities  or  (iii)  certain  mergers,
consolidations  or  amalgamations,  each  as  permitted  by  the  Declaration.

     If  an  Event  of  Default  occurs  and  is  continuing with respect to the
Debentures,  then,  and in each and every such case, unless the principal of the
Debentures  shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the
holders  of  not  less  than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
then  outstanding  hereunder,  by  notice  in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee  if  given  by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal of the
Debentures  and  the  interest  accrued  thereon,  if any, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due
and  payable.

     The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at
any  time  after the principal of the Debentures shall have been so declared due
and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall  have  been  obtained  or entered as hereinafter provided, (i) the Company
shall  pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured
installments  of  interest  upon  all  the  Debentures  and the principal of and
premium, if any, on the Debentures which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration  (with  interest  upon  such  principal  and  premium,  if any, and
Additional  Interest) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation  to  the  Trustee  and  each  predecessor Trustee, their respective
agents,  attorneys


                                       21
<PAGE>
and  counsel,  and all other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6,
if  any,  and  (ii)  all  Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the
non-payment  of  the  principal of or premium, if any, on Debentures which shall
have  become  due  by  acceleration,  shall have been cured, waived or otherwise
remedied  as  provided  herein  --  then and in every such case the holders of a
majority  in  aggregate  principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, by
written  notice  to  the  Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults and
rescind  and  annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or
rescission  and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default
or  shall  impair  any  right  consequent  thereon.

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

     SECTION  5.2.     PAYMENT  OF  DEBENTURES  ON  DEFAULT; SUIT THEREFOR.  The
                       ---------------------------------------------------
Company  covenants  that  upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to
Section  5.1(a)  or Section 5.1(b) then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company
will  pay  to  the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures the
whole  amount  that then shall have become due and payable on all Debentures for
principal  and  premium,  if any, or interest, or both, as the case may be, with
Additional  Interest  accrued  on  the Debentures (to the extent that payment of
such  interest  is  enforceable  under applicable law and, if the Debentures are
held  by  the Trust or a trustee of such Trust, without duplication of any other
amounts  paid  by  the  Trust or a trustee in respect thereof); and, in addition
thereto,  such  further  amount  as  shall  be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses  of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its
agents,  attorneys  and  counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 6.6.  In  case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such  demand,  the  Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
shall  be  entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law
or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
any  such  action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any
such  judgment  or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on such
Debentures  and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company  or  any  other  obligor on such Debentures wherever situated the moneys
adjudged  or  decreed  to  be  payable.

     In  case  there  shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the
reorganization  of  the  Company  or  any  other obligor on the Debentures under
Bankruptcy  Law,  or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for
the  property  of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other
similar  judicial  proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the
Debentures,  or  to  the  creditors  or  property  of  the Company or such other
obligor,  the  Trustee,  irrespective of whether the principal of the Debentures
shall  then  be  due  and  payable  as  therein  expressed  or by declaration of
acceleration  or  otherwise  and  irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have
made  any  demand  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this Section 5.2, shall be
entitled  and  empowered,  by  intervention  in  such  proceedings or otherwise,

     (i)  to  file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal
          and  interest  owing  and  unpaid  in  respect  of  the  Debentures,

     (ii) in  case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and
          other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
          have  the  claims  of  the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable
          compensation  to  the  Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their
          respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all


                                       22
<PAGE>
          other  amounts  due  to  the  Trustee  under  Section 6.6), and of the
          Securityholders  allowed  in such judicial proceedings relative to the
          Company or any other obligor on the Debentures, or to the creditors or
          property  of  the  Company or such other obligor, unless prohibited by
          applicable  law  and  regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of
          the  Debentures  in  any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in
          arrangement,  reorganization,  liquidation  or  other  bankruptcy  or
          insolvency  proceedings  or  Person  performing  similar  functions in
          comparable  proceedings,

    (iii) to  collect  and  receive  any  moneys  or  other  property payable or
          deliverable  on  any  such  claims,  and

     (iv) to  distribute  the  same  after  the  deduction  of  its  charges and
          expenses.

Any  receiver,  assignee  or  trustee  in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby
authorized  by each of the Securityholders to make such payments to the Trustee,
and,  in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly  to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be
sufficient  to  cover  reasonable  compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor
Trustee  and  their  respective  agents,  attorneys  and  counsel, and all other
amounts  due  to  the  Trustee  under  Section  6.6.

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

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

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

     SECTION  5.3.     APPLICATION  OF  MONEYS  COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE. Any moneys
                       ---------------------------------------------
collected  by  the Trustee  pursuant  to  this Article V shall be applied in the
following  order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution
of  such moneys, upon presentation of the several Debentures in respect of which
moneys  have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially
paid,  and  upon  surrender  thereof  if  fully  paid:

     First:  To  the  payment  of costs and expenses incurred by, and reasonable
fees  of,  the  Trustee,  its  agents,  attorneys  and counsel, and of all other
amounts  due  to  the  Trustee  under  Section  6.6;

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

     Third:  To  the  payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Debentures
for  principal (and premium, if any), and interest on the Debentures, in respect
of  which or for the benefit of which money has been collected, ratably, without
preference  or  priority  of  any  kind,  according  to  the amounts due on such
Debentures  (including  Additional  Interest);  and


                                       23
<PAGE>
     Fourth: The balance, if any, to the Company.

     SECTION  5.4.     PROCEEDINGS  BY  SECURITYHOLDERS.  No  holder  of  any
                       --------------------------------
Debenture  shall  have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding for
any  remedy  hereunder,  unless  such  holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to the Debentures and
unless  the  holders  of  not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures  then  outstanding  shall have given the Trustee a written request to
institute  such action, suit or proceeding and shall have offered to the Trustee
such  reasonable  indemnity  as  it  may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities  to  be  incurred  thereby,  and  the  Trustee for 60 days after its
receipt  of  such  notice,  request  and offer of indemnity shall have failed to
institute  any  such  action,  suit  or  proceeding.

     Notwithstanding  any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right
of  any holder of any Debenture to receive payment of the principal of, premium,
if  any,  and interest, on such Debenture when due, or to institute suit for the
enforcement  of  any such payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent  of  such  holder and by accepting a Debenture hereunder it is expressly
understood,  intended  and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Debenture
with  every  other  such  taker  and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more
holders of Debentures shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or
by  availing  itself  of  any  provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice  the  rights  of  the holders of any other Debentures, or to obtain or
seek  to  obtain  priority  over  or  preference to any other such holder, or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and
for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Debentures.  For the
protection  and  enforcement  of  the provisions of this Section, each and every
Securityholder  and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given
either  at  law  or  in  equity.

     SECTION  5.5.     PROCEEDINGS  BY  TRUSTEE.  In case of an Event of Default
                       ------------------------
hereunder  the  Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the
rights  vested  in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as  the  Trustee  shall  deem  most effectual to protect and enforce any of such
rights,  either  by  suit  in  equity  or  by  action at law or by proceeding in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement  contained  in  this  Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted  in  this  Indenture,  or  to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested  in  the  Trustee  by  this  Indenture  or  by  law.

     SECTION  5.6.     REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONTINUING; DELAY OR OMISSION NOT
                       ---------------------------------------------------------
A WAIVER.  Except as  otherwise provided in Section 2.6, all powers and remedies
--------
given  by this  Article V to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the
extent  permitted  by  law,  be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other
powers  and  remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Debentures,
by  judicial  proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance
of  the  covenants  and  agreements  contained  in  this  Indenture or otherwise
established  with  respect  to  the  Debentures, and no delay or omission of the
Trustee  or of any holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right, remedy
or  power  accruing  upon  any  Event  of  Default  occurring  and continuing as
aforesaid shall impair any such right, remedy or power, or shall be construed to
be  a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the
provisions  of Section 5.4, every power and remedy given by this Article V or by
law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time,
and  as  often  as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee (in accordance with
its  duties  under  Section  6.1)  or  by  the  Securityholders.

     SECTION  5.7.     DIRECTION  OF  PROCEEDINGS  AND  WAIVER  OF  DEFAULTS  BY
                       ---------------------------------------------------------
MAJORITY  OF  SECURITYHOLDERS. The  holders of a majority in aggregate principal
-----------------------------
amount  of the Debentures affected (voting as one class) at the time outstanding
shall  have  the  right  to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any
proceeding  for  any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power  conferred  on  the  Trustee  with  respect  to such Debentures; provided,
however,  that  (subject  to  the


                                       24
<PAGE>
provisions of Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any  such  direction  if the Trustee shall determine that the action so directed
would  be  unjustly prejudicial to the holders not taking part in such direction
or  if  the  Trustee  being  advised  by  counsel  determines that the action or
proceeding  so directed may not lawfully be taken or if a Responsible Officer of
the  Trustee  shall  determine  that the action or proceedings so directed would
involve  the  Trustee  in  personal  liability.

     The  holders  of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
at  the  time  outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures
waive  (or modify any previously granted waiver of) any past default or Event of
Default,  and its consequences, except a default (a) in the payment of principal
of,  premium,  if  any,  or interest on any of the Debentures, (b) in respect of
covenants  or  provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the
consent  of  the  holder  of  each  Debenture affected, or (c) in respect of the
covenants  contained  in  Section 3.9; provided, however, that if the Debentures
                                       --------  -------
are held by the Trust or a trustee of such trust, such waiver or modification to
such  waiver  shall  not  be  effective  until  the  holders  of  a  majority in
Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such
waiver or modification to such waiver, provided, further, that if the consent of
                                       --------  -------
the  holder  of each outstanding Debenture is required, such waiver shall not be
effective  until  each  holder  of  the Trust Securities of the Trust shall have
consented  to  such  waiver.  Upon  any such waiver, the default covered thereby
shall  be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company,
the  Trustee and the holders of the Debentures shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to
any  subsequent  or  other  default  or  Event  of  Default  or impair any right
consequent  thereon.  Whenever  any  default or Event of Default hereunder shall
have  been waived as permitted by this Section, said default or Event of Default
shall  for  all  purposes of the Debentures and this Indenture be deemed to have
been  cured  and  to  be  not  continuing.

     SECTION  5.8.     NOTICE  OF  DEFAULTS.  The  Trustee shall, within 90 days
                       --------------------
after  the  actual  knowledge  by  a  Responsible  Officer of the Trustee of the
occurrence  of  a  default  with  respect  to  the  Debentures,  mail  to  all
Securityholders,  as  the  names  and  addresses of such holders appear upon the
Debenture  Register, notice of all defaults with respect to the Debentures known
to  the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of
such  notice  (the  term  "defaults"  for  the purpose of this Section 5.8 being
hereby  defined to be the events specified in clauses(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and
(f)  of  Section  5.1,  not  including  periods  of  grace, if any, provided for
therein);  provided, however, that, except in the case of default in the payment
           --------  -------
of  the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Debentures, the
Trustee  shall  be  protected  in  withholding  such  notice if and so long as a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding
of  such  notice  is  in  the  interests  of  the  Securityholders.

     SECTION  5.9.     UNDERTAKING  TO PAY COSTS.  All parties to this Indenture
                       -------------------------
agree,  and  each  holder  of  any  Debenture by his acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for  the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing
by  any  party  litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit,  and  that  such  court  may  in  its  discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
such  suit,  having  due  regard  to  the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses  made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of
                                       --------  -------
this  Section 5.9  shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any
suit  instituted  by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding in
the  aggregate  more than 10% in principal amount of the Debentures outstanding,
or  to  any  suit  instituted  by  any Securityholder for the enforcement of the
payment  of  the  principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debenture
against  the  Company  on  or  after the same shall have become due and payable.

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
                             ----------------------

     SECTION 6.1.     DUTIES  AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE.  With respect to
                      ---------------------------------------
the holders of Debentures issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence
of  an  Event  of Default with respect to the Debentures and after the curing or
waiving  of  all  Events of Default which may have occurred, with respect to the
Debentures,  undertakes  to  perform  such  duties  and  only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read
into  this  Indenture  against  the  Trustee.  In  case an Event of Default with
respect to the Debentures has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the
Trustee  shall  exercise  such  of  the  rights  and powers vested in it by this
Indenture,  and  use  the  same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent  man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own  affairs.

     No  provision  of  this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its  own  willful  misconduct,  except  that:

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

          (1)     the  duties  and  obligations  of  the  Trustee  with  respect
          to  Debentures shall be determined solely by the express provisions of
          this  Indenture,  and  the  Trustee shall not be liable except for the
          performance  of  such  duties  and  obligations  with  respect  to the
          Debentures  as  are  specifically  set forth in this Indenture, and no
          implied  covenants  or  obligations  shall be read into this Indenture
          against  the  Trustee,  and

          (2)     in  the  absence  of  bad  faith  on  the part of the Trustee,
          the  Trustee  may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
          and  the  correctness  of  the  opinions  expressed  therein, upon any
          certificates  or  opinions  furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
          the  requirements  of  this  Indenture;  but,  in the case of any such
          certificates  or  opinions  which  by  any  provision  hereof  are
          specifically  required  to  be  furnished  to the Trustee, the Trustee
          shall  be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not
          they  conform  to  the  requirements  of  this  Indenture;

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

     (c)     the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of the
Securityholders  pursuant to Section 5.7, relating to the time, method and place
of  conducting  any  proceeding  for  any  remedy  available  to the Trustee, or
exercising  any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

     None  of  the  provisions  contained  in  this  Indenture shall require the
Trustee  to  expend  or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability  in  the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its  rights  or  powers,  if there is ground for believing that the repayment of
such  funds  or liability is not assured to it under the terms of this Indenture
or  indemnity  satisfactory  to  the Trustee against such risk is not reasonably
assured  to  it.

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

advice  or  Opinion  of  Counsel  shall  be  full and complete authorization and
protection  in  respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in  good  faith  and  in  accordance  with  such  advice  or Opinion of Counsel;

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

     (e)     the  Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by
it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or

facts  or  matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,

coupon  or  other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the

within  a  reasonable  time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely  to  be  incurred  by  it  in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion  of  the  Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security

reasonable  indemnity  against  such  expense  or liability as a condition to so
proceeding;

     (g)     the  Trustee  may  execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform  any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents (including

other  obligor  on  the  Debentures  or  by  any  holder  of  the  Debentures.

     SECTION 6.3.     NO  RESPONSIBILITY  FOR  RECITALS,  ETC.  The  recitals
                      ---------------------------------------
contained  herein  and  in  the  Debentures  (except  in  the  certificate  of
authentication of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) shall be taken as the
statements  of  the Company, and the Trustee and the Authenticating Agent assume
no  responsibility  for  the  correctness  of  the  same.  The  Trustee  and the
Authenticating  Agent  make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of  this  Indenture  or  of  the  Debentures.  The  Trustee  and


                                       27
<PAGE>
the  Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the  Company  of  any Debentures or the proceeds of any Debentures authenticated
and  delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in conformity with the
provisions  of  this  Indenture.

     SECTION  6.4.     TRUSTEE,  AUTHENTICATING  AGENT,  PAYING AGENTS, TRANSFER
                       ---------------------------------------------------------
AGENTS OR REGISTRAR MAY OWN DEBENTURES.  The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent
--------------------------------------
or  any  paying  agent  or any transfer agent or any Debenture registrar, in its
individual  or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debentures
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent,
paying  agent,  transfer  agent  or  Debenture  registrar.

     SECTION  6.5.     MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.  Subject to the provisions of
                       --------------------------
Section  12.4,  all  moneys  received  by the Trustee or any paying agent shall,
until  used  or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purpose for
which  they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to
the  extent  required by law. The Trustee and any paying agent shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed  in  writing  with the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred  and  be  continuing,  all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be
paid  from  time  to  time  upon the written order of the Company, signed by the
Chairman  of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President,
a  Managing  Director, a Vice President, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer
of  the  Company.

     SECTION 6.6.     COMPENSATION  AND  EXPENSES  OF  TRUSTEE.  The  Company
                      ----------------------------------------
covenants  and  agrees  to pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable  expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in  accordance  with  any  of  the  provisions  of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all  Persons  not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement
or  advance as may arise from its negligence or willful misconduct. For purposes
of  clarification,  this  Section 6.6  does  not  contemplate the payment by the
Company  of  acceptance  or  annual  administration  fees  owing  to the Trustee
pursuant  to  the services to be provided by the Trustee under this Indenture or
the fees and expenses of the Trustee's counsel in connection with the closing of
the  transactions  contemplated by this Indenture. The Company also covenants to
indemnify  each  of  the  Trustee  or any predecessor Trustee (and its officers,
agents,  directors  and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any and
all  loss, damage, claim, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes
based  on  the  income  of  the  Trustee) incurred without negligence or willful
misconduct  on  the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses
of  defending  itself  against  any  claim  of liability. The obligations of the
Company  under  this  Section 6.6 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to
pay  or  reimburse  the  Trustee  for expenses, disbursements and advances shall
constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall
be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debentures upon all property and funds
held  or  collected  by  the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the
benefit  of  the  holders  of  particular  Debentures.

     Without  prejudice  to  any  other  rights  available  to the Trustee under
applicable  law,  when  the  Trustee  incurs  expenses  or  renders  services in
connection  with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), Section 5.1(e)
or  Section  5.1(f), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses
of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses  of  administration  under  any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency  or  other  similar  law.

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

     Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Indenture  or  any  Debenture  to  the
contrary,  the  Trustee  shall have no obligation whatsoever to advance funds to
pay  any  principal  of  or  interest  on  or  other amounts with respect to the
Debentures or otherwise advance funds to or on behalf of the Company.

     SECTION  6.7.     OFFICERS'  CERTIFICATE  AS EVIDENCE.  Except as otherwise
                       -----------------------------------
provided  in  Sections  6.1  and  6.2,  whenever  in  the  administration of the
provisions  of  this  Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable
that  a  matter  be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action
hereunder,  such  matter  (unless  other  evidence  in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct
on  the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by  an  Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in
the  absence  of  negligence  or  willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee,
shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under
the  provisions  of  this  Indenture  upon  the  faith  thereof.

     SECTION  6.8.     ELIGIBILITY  OF  TRUSTEE.  The Trustee hereunder shall at
                       ------------------------
all  times  be  a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or any state or territory thereof or of the District of
Columbia or a corporation or other Person authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate  trust  powers,  having (or whose obligations under this Indenture are
guaranteed  by  an  affiliate having) a combined capital and surplus of at least
50million  U.S.  dollars  ($50,000,000.00)  and  subject  to  supervision  or
examination  by  federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority.
If  such  corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to  law  or  to  the  requirements  of  the  aforesaid  supervising or examining
authority,  then  for  the purposes of this Section 6.8 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 records of condition so published.

     The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled  by,  or  under  common  control  with the Company, serve as Trustee.

     In  case  at  any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.8, the Trustee shall resign immediately in
the  manner  and  with  the  effect  specified  in  Section  6.9.

     If  the  Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the
meaning  of  Sec.310(b)  of  the  Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall
either  eliminate  such  interest  or  resign,  to  the extent and in the manner
described  by  this  Indenture.

     SECTION  6.9.     RESIGNATION  OR  REMOVAL  OF  TRUSTEE
                       -------------------------------------

     (a)     The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at
any  time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and
by  mailing  notice  thereof,  at  the  Company's expense, to the holders of the
Debentures  at  their  addresses as they shall appear on the Debenture Register.
Upon  receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor  trustee  or trustees by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by
order of its Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered
to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee.  If no successor
Trustee  shall  have  been  so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30
days  after  the  mailing  of  such  notice  of  resignation  to  the  affected
Securityholders,  the  resigning  Trustee  may  petition  any court of competent
jurisdiction  for  the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Securityholder
who  has  been  a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six
months  may,  subject to the provisions of Section 5.9, on behalf of himself and
all  others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a
successor  Trustee.  Such  court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it
may  deem  proper  and  prescribe,  appoint  a  successor  Trustee.

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

               (1)     the  Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions
               of  Section  6.8 after written request therefor by the Company or
               by  any  Securityholder  who  has  been  a  bona fide holder of a
               Debenture  or  Debentures  for  at  least  6  months,  or


                                       29
<PAGE>
               (2)     the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
               the  provisions  of  Section  6.8  and shall fail to resign after
               written  request  therefor  by  the  Company  or  by  any  such
               Securityholder,  or

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

then,  in  any  such  case,  the  Company  may  remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor  Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the
Board  of  Directors,  one  copy  of  which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee  so  removed  and  one copy to the successor Trustee, or, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.9, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of
a  Debenture  or  Debentures for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and
all  others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the  removal  of  the  Trustee  and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such
court  may  thereupon,  after  such  notice,  if  any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe,  remove  the  Trustee  and  appoint  successor  Trustee.

     (c)     Upon  prior  written  notice  to  the  Company and the Trustee, the
holders  of  a  majority  in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the
time  outstanding  may  at  any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor
Trustee,  which  shall be deemed appointed as successor Trustee unless within 10
Business  Days after such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case,
or in the case of a failure by such holders to nominate a successor Trustee, the
Trustee  so  removed  or  any  Securityholder, upon the terms and conditions and
otherwise  as  in  subsection (a) of this Section 6.9 provided, may petition any
court  of  competent  jurisdiction  for  an  appointment  of  a  successor.

     (d)     Any  resignation  or  removal  of  the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in
Section  6.10.

     SECTION  6.10.     ACCEPTANCE  BY  SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor Trustee
                        ---------------------------------
appointed  as  provided in Section 6.9 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the  Company  and  to  its  predecessor  Trustee  an  instrument  accepting such
appointment  hereunder, 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, duties
and  obligations  with  respect  to the Debentures of its predecessor hereunder,
with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on
the  written  request  of  the  Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee
ceasing  to  act  shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the
provisions  of  Section  6.6,  execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such  successor  Trustee  all the rights and powers of the Trustee so ceasing to
act  and  shall  duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
property and money held by such retiring Trustee thereunder. Upon request of any
such  successor  Trustee,  the  Company shall execute any and all instruments in
writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee  all  such  rights  and  powers.  Any  Trustee  ceasing  to  act  shall,
nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such
Trustee  to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section
6.6.

     If  a successor Trustee is appointed, the Company, the retiring Trustee and
the successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to
confirm  that  all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with  respect  to  the  Debentures  as  to  which the predecessor Trustee is not
retiring  shall  continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add
to  or  change  any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust hereunder by more than
one


                                       30
<PAGE>
Trustee,  it  being  understood  that  nothing  herein  or  in such supplemental
indenture  shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that
each  such  Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and
apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

     No  successor  Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
unless  at  the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
under  the  provisions  of  Section  6.8.

     In no event shall a retiring Trustee be liable for the acts or omissions of
any  successor  Trustee  hereunder.

     Upon  acceptance  of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section  6.10,  the  Company shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder  to  the holders of Debentures at their addresses as they shall appear
on  the  Debenture Register.  If the Company fails to mail such notice within 10
Business  Days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the
successor  Trustee  shall  cause  such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Company.

     SECTION  6.11.     SUCCESSION  BY  MERGER, ETC.  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 without the execution or filing of any paper
or  any  further  act  on  the  part of any of the parties hereto; provided such
corporation  shall  be  otherwise  eligible  and  qualified  under this Article.

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

     SECTION  6.12.     AUTHENTICATING  AGENTS.  There  may  be  one  or  more
                        ----------------------
Authenticating  Agents  appointed by the Trustee upon the request of the Company
with  power  to  act  on  its  behalf  and  subject  to  its  direction  in  the
authentication  and  delivery of Debentures issued upon exchange or registration
of  transfer  thereof  as  fully  to all intents and purposes as though any such
Authenticating  Agent  had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver
Debentures;  provided,  however, that the Trustee shall have no liability to the
Company  for  any  acts or omissions of the Authenticating Agent with respect to
the  authentication  and  delivery of Debentures.  Any such Authenticating Agent
shall  at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws
of  the United States or of any state or territory thereof or of the District of
Columbia  authorized  under  such  laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a
combined  capital  and  surplus  of at least $50,000,000.00 and being subject to
supervision  or  examination  by  federal,  state,  territorial  or  District of
Columbia authority.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually  pursuant  to  law  or the requirements of such authority, then for the
purposes  of  this  Section 6.12  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 an
Authenticating  Agent  shall  cease  to  be  eligible  in  accordance  with  the
provisions  of  this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the  effect  herein  specified  in  this  Section.


                                       31
<PAGE>
     Any  corporation  into  which  any  Authenticating  Agent  may be merged or
converted  or  with  which  it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from  any  merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent
shall  be  a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor
of  such  Authenticating  Agent  hereunder,  if  such  successor  corporation is
otherwise  eligible  under  this Section 6.12 without the execution or filing of
any  paper  or  any  further  act  on  the  part  of  the parties hereto or such
Authenticating  Agent.

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

     The  Company  agrees  to  pay to any Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable  compensation  for its services.  Any Authenticating Agent shall have
no  responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such in accordance
with  the  directions  of  the  Trustee.

                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS
                         ------------------------------

     SECTION 7.1.     ACTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS.  Whenever  in this Indenture it
                      -------------------------
is  provided  that  the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand
or  request,  the  giving  of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any
other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of
such  specified  percentage  have  joined  therein  may  be  evidenced (a)by any
instrument  or  any  number  of  instruments  of  similar tenor executed by such
Securityholders  in  person  or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b)by
the  record of such holders of Debentures voting in favor thereof at any meeting
of  such  Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions
of  Article  VIII,  or (c)by a combination of such instrument or instruments and
any  such  record  of  such a meeting of such Securityholders or (d)by any other
method  the  Trustee  deems  satisfactory.

     If  the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders any request, demand,
authorization,  direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation
of  the  same,  the  Company  may,  at  its option, as evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate,  fix  in  advance  a  record  date  for  such  Debentures  for  the
determination  of  Securityholders  entitled  to  give  such  request,  demand,
authorization,  direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action or revocation
of  the  same,  but  the  Company  shall have no obligation to do so.  If such a
record  date  is  fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action or revocation of the same may be given before or
after  the  record  date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of
business  on  the  record  date  shall  be  deemed to be Securityholders for the
purposes  of  determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of
outstanding  Debentures  have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand,  authorization,  direction,  notice,  consent, waiver or other action or
revocation of the same, and for that purpose the outstanding Debentures shall be
computed  as  of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization,
                                  --------  -------


                                       32
<PAGE>
agreement  or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed
effective  unless  it  shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture  not  later  than  6  months  after  the  record  date.

     SECTION  7.2.     PROOF  OF  EXECUTION  BY SECURITYHOLDERS.  Subject to the
                       ----------------------------------------
provisions of Section 6.1, 6.2 and 8.5, proof of the execution of any instrument
by  a  Securityholder  or  his  agent  or  proxy  shall be sufficient if made in
accordance  with  such  reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by
the  Trustee  or  in  such  manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.  The
ownership  of  Debentures  shall  be  proved  by  the Debenture Register or by a
certificate of the Debenture registrar.  The Trustee may require such additional
proof  of  any  matter  referred  to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.

     The  record  of  any Securityholders' meeting shall be proved in the manner
provided  in  Section  8.6.

     SECTION  7.3.     WHO ARE DEEMED ABSOLUTE OWNERS.  Prior to due presentment
                      -------------------------------
for  registration  of  transfer  of any Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any
Authenticating  Agent,  any  paying  agent, any transfer agent and any Debenture
registrar  may  deem the Person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered
upon  the  Debenture Register to be, and may treat him as, the absolute owner of
such  Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue) for the purpose
of  receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest  on  such Debenture and for all other purposes; and neither the Company
nor  the  Trustee  nor  any  Authenticating  Agent  nor any paying agent nor any
transfer  agent  nor  any Debenture registrar shall be affected by any notice to
the  contrary.  All  such  payments  so made to any holder for the time being or
upon  his  order  shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid,
effectual  to  satisfy  and  discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any
such  Debenture.

     SECTION  7.4.     DEBENTURES  OWNED  BY COMPANY DEEMED NOT OUTSTANDING.  In
                       ----------------------------------------------------
determining  whether  the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Debentures  have  concurred  in  any  direction,  consent  or  waiver under this
Indenture, Debentures which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the
Debentures  or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor
on  the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the
purpose  of  any such determination; provided, however, that for the purposes of
                                     --------  -------
determining  whether  the  Trustee  shall  be  protected  in relying on any such
direction, consent or waiver, only Debentures which a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee  actually  knows  are  so  owned shall be so disregarded.  Debentures so
owned  which  have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for
the  purposes  of  this  Section 7.4  if  the  pledgee  shall  establish  to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Debentures and that
the  pledgee  is not the Company or any such other obligor or Person directly or
indirectly  controlling  or  controlled  by  or  under direct or indirect common
control with the Company or any such other obligor.  In the case of a dispute as
to  such  right,  any  decision  by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel
shall  be  full  protection  to  the  Trustee.

     SECTION  7.5.     REVOCATION OF CONSENTS; FUTURE HOLDERS BOUND. At any time
                       --------------------------------------------
prior  to  (but  not  after)  the  evidencing  to  the  Trustee,  as provided in
Section 7.1,  of  the  taking  of any action by the holders of the percentage in
aggregate  principal  amount  of  the  Debentures specified in this Indenture in
connection  with such action, any holder (in cases where no record date has been
set  pursuant  to Section 7.1) or any holder as of an applicable record date (in
cases  where  a record date has been set pursuant to Section 7.1) of a Debenture
(or  any  Debenture  issued  in  whole  or  in  part in exchange or substitution
therefor)  the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in
the Debentures the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written  notice with the Trustee at the Principal Office of the Trustee and upon
proof  of  holding  as  provided  in  Section 7.2,  revoke such action so far as
concerns  such Debenture (or so far as concerns the principal amount represented
by


                                       33
<PAGE>
any  exchanged  or  substituted Debenture).  Except as aforesaid any such action
taken  by  the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such
holder  and  upon  all  future  holders and owners of such Debenture, and of any
Debenture  issued  in  exchange  or  substitution therefor or on registration of
transfer  thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto
is  made upon such Debenture or any Debenture issued in exchange or substitution
therefor.

the holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of such Debentures under
any  other  provision  of  this  Indenture  or  under  applicable  law.

     SECTION  8.2.     CALL OF MEETINGS BY TRUSTEE.  The Trustee may at any time
                       ---------------------------
call  a  meeting of Securityholders to take any action specified in Section 8.1,
to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice
of every meeting of the Securityholders, setting forth the time and the place of
such  meeting  and  in  general  terms  the  action proposed to be taken at such
meeting, shall be mailed to holders of Debentures affected at their addresses as
they shall appear on the Debentures Register and, if the Company is not a holder
of  Debentures, to the Company. Such notice shall be mailed not less than 20 nor

at  any  time  the  Company pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the holders of at
least  10%  in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures, as the case may be,
then  outstanding,  shall  have  requested  the  Trustee  to  call  a meeting of
Securityholders,  by  written  request  setting  forth  in reasonable detail the
action  proposed  to  be  taken  at  the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have
mailed  the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request,
then  the  Company  or such Securityholders may determine the time and the place
for  such  meeting  and  may  call such meeting to take any action authorized in
Section 8.1,  by  mailing  notice  thereof  as  provided  in  Section 8.2.

     SECTION  8.4.     QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOTING.  To be entitled to vote at any

and  any  representatives  of  the  Company  and  its  counsel.

     SECTION  8.5.     REGULATIONS. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
                       -----------
Indenture,  the  Trustee  may  make  such  reasonable regulations as it may deem
advisable  for  any  meeting  of  Securityholders,  in


                                       34
<PAGE>
regard  to proof of the holding of Debentures 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  think  fit.

     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  Securityholders  as  provided in Section 8.3, in which case the
Company or the Securityholders 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 majority vote of the meeting.

     Subject  to  the  provisions  of Section 7.4, at any meeting each holder of
Debentures  with  respect  to which such meeting is being held or proxy therefor
shall  be entitled to one vote for each $1,000.00 principal amount of Debentures

and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding.  The chairman of
the  meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Debentures held
by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the Person
to vote on behalf of other Securityholders.  Any meeting of Securityholders duly
called  pursuant  to  the provisions of Section 8.2 or 8.3 may be adjourned from
time  to  time  by  a  majority  of those present, whether or not constituting a
quorum,  and  the  meeting  may  be held as so adjourned without further notice.

     SECTION  8.6.     VOTING.  The vote upon  any  resolution  submitted to any
                       ------
meeting  of  holders  of  Debentures with respect to which such meeting is being
held  shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of
such  holders  or  of  their  representatives  by proxy and the serial number or
numbers  of  the Debentures 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 triplicate
of  all  votes cast at the meeting.  A record in duplicate of the proceedings of
each  meeting  of  Securityholders  shall  be  prepared  by the secretary of the
meeting  and  there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or
more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of
the meeting  and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 8.2.
The record shall show the serial numbers of the Debentures voting in favor of or
against  any  resolution.  The  record  shall  be  signed  and  verified  by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the
duplicates  shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be
preserved  by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted
at  the  meeting.

     Any  record  so  signed  and  verified  shall be conclusive evidence of the
matters  therein  stated.

     SECTION 8.7.     QUORUM; ACTIONS.  The  Persons entitled to vote a majority
                      ---------------
in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding shall constitute a quorum
for a meeting of Securityholders; provided, however, that if any action is to be
taken  at  such  meeting  with  respect  to  a consent, waiver, request, demand,
notice,  authorization,  direction  or  other  action  which may be given by the
holders  of  not  less  than  a  specified percentage in principal amount of the
Debentures  then outstanding, the Persons holding or representing such specified
percentage  in  principal  amount  of  the  Debentures  then  outstanding  will
constitute  a  quorum.  In  the absence of a quorum within 30minutes of the time
appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of
Securityholders,  be  dissolved.  In any other case the meeting may be adjourned
for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the permanent chairman of
the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum
at  any  such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned
for  a  period  of  not  less  than


                                       35
<PAGE>
10 days as  determined  by  the  permanent  chairman of the meeting prior to the
adjournment  of  such  adjourned  meeting.  Notice  of  the  reconvening  of any
adjourned  meeting  shall  be given as provided in Section 8.2, except that such
notice  need  be given only once not less than 5 days prior to the date on which
the  meeting  is  scheduled  to  be reconvened.  Notice of the reconvening of an
adjourned  meeting  shall  state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of
the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding which shall constitute a
quorum.

     Except  as  limited  by the provisos in the first paragraph of Section 9.2,
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  a  majority  in  principal  amount  of  the  Debentures  then
outstanding;  provided,  however, that, except as limited by the provisos in the
              --------   -------
first  paragraph  of  Section  9.2,  any resolution with respect to any consent,
waiver,  request, demand, notice, authorization, direction or other action which
this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the holders of not less than a
specified  percentage in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding 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 a
not  less  than  such specified percentage in principal amount of the Debentures
then  outstanding.

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

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

     SECTION  9.1.     SUPPLEMENTAL  INDENTURES  WITHOUT  CONSENT  OF
                       ----------------------------------------------
SECURITYHOLDERS.  The  Company, when authorized  by  a Board Resolution, and the
---------------
Trustee  may  from  time  to  time  and  at  any time enter into an indenture or
indentures  supplemental hereto, without the consent of the Securityholders, for
one  or  more  of  the  following  purposes:

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

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

     (c)     to  cure  any  ambiguity  or to correct or supplement any provision
contained  herein  or  in  any  supplemental indenture which may be defective or
inconsistent  with  any  other provision contained herein or in any supplemental
indenture,  or  to  make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions
arising under this Indenture; provided that any such action shall not materially
                              --------
adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debentures;


                                       36
<PAGE>
     (d)     to  add  to,  delete  from,  or  revise  the  terms  of Debentures,
including,  without  limitation,  any  terms relating to the issuance, exchange,
registration  or  transfer  of  Debentures,  including  to  provide for transfer
procedures  and  restrictions  substantially  similar to those applicable to the
Capital  Securities as required by Section 2.5 (for purposes of assuring that no
registration  of  Debentures  is  required  under the Securities Act); provided,
                                                                       --------
however,  that  any  such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the
-------
holders of the Debentures then outstanding (it being understood, for purposes of
this  proviso, that transfer restrictions on Debentures substantially similar to
those  that  were  applicable  to  Capital  Securities  shall  not  be deemed to
materially  adversely  affect  the  holders  of  the  Debentures);

     (e)     to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder
by  a  successor  Trustee with respect to the Debentures and to add to or change
any  of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate  the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee;

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

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

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

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.1
may  be  executed  by  the  Company  and  the Trustee without the consent of the
holders of any of the Debentures at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of
the  provisions  of  Section  9.2.

     SECTION  9.2.     SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS.
                       -------------------------------------------------------
With  the  consent  (evidenced as provided in Section 7.1) of the holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time
outstanding  affected  by  such  supplemental indenture (voting as a class), the
Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to
time  and  at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
for  the  purpose  of  adding  any  provisions  to  or changing in any manner or
eliminating  any  of  the  provisions  of  this Indenture or of any supplemental
indenture  or  of  modifying  in  any  manner  the  rights of the holders of the
Debentures; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall without
            --------  -------
the  consent  of  the  holders  of  each Debenture then outstanding and affected
thereby  (i) change the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or reduce the principal
amount  thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment  of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof
or  make the principal thereof or any interest or premium thereon payable in any
coin or currency other than that provided in the Debentures, or impair or affect
the  right of any Securityholder to institute suit for payment thereof or impair
the  right of repayment, if any, at the option of the holder, or (ii) reduce the
aforesaid  percentage of Debentures the holders of which are required to consent
to  any  such  supplemental  indenture;  provided  further, however, that if the
                                         --------  -------  -------
Debentures  are  held  by  a trust or a trustee of such trust, such supplemental
indenture  shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in Liquidation
Amount  of Trust Securities shall have consented to such supplemental indenture;
provided  further,  however,  that  if the consent of the Securityholder of each
--------  -------   -------
outstanding  Debenture  is  required,  such  supplemental indenture shall not be
effective until each holder of the Trust Securities shall have consented to such
supplemental  indenture.


                                       37
<PAGE>
     Upon  the  request  of  the  Company  accompanied  by  a  Board  Resolution
authorizing  the  execution  of  any  such  supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing  with  the  Trustee  of  evidence  of  the  consent of Securityholders as
aforesaid,  the  Trustee  shall  join  with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental  indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's
own  rights,  duties  or  immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which
case  the  Trustee  may  in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into  such  supplemental  indenture.

     Promptly  after  the  execution  by  the  Company  and  the  Trustee of any
supplemental  indenture  pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall  transmit  by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, prepared by the
Company,  setting  forth  in  general  terms  the substance of such supplemental
indenture,  to  the Securityholders as their names and addresses appear upon the
Debenture  Register.  Any  failure  of  the  Trustee to mail such notice, or any

may be, any part of the Debentures, it shall cause to be mailed a notice of such
redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date or
the  Special Redemption Date to the holders of Debentures so to be redeemed as a
whole  or  in  part  at their last addresses as the same appear on the Debenture
Register. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice if mailed in the
manner  herein  provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether  or  not  the  holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give
such  notice  by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Debenture
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of

on  the  portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue.  If less than all
the  Debentures  are  to  be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the
numbers  of  the  Debentures  to  be redeemed.  In case the Debentures are to be
redeemed  in  part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the
principal  amount  thereof  to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the
date  fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or
Debentures  in  principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be
issued.

     Prior  to  10:00  a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date or Special
Redemption  Date,  as  applicable,  the Company will deposit with the Trustee or

Redemption  Date  or  the  Special  Redemption  Date,  as  applicable,  all  the
Debentures  so  called  for  redemption  at  the appropriate Redemption Price or
Special  Redemption  Price.

     If  all,  or  less than all, the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company
will  give  the  Trustee  notice  not  less  than  45  nor  more  than  60 days,
respectively,  prior  to  the  Redemption  Date  or  Special Redemption Date, as
applicable,  as  to  the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed
and  the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall
deem  appropriate  and  fair,  the  Debentures  or portions thereof (in integral
multiples  of  $1,000.00)  to  be  redeemed.

     SECTION  10.4.     PAYMENT OF DEBENTURES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION.  If  notice

portions  of  Debentures  with respect to which such notice has been given shall
become  due  and  payable  on the Redemption Date or Special Redemption Date, as
applicable,  and  at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable
Redemption  Price or Special Redemption Price and on and after said date (unless
the  Company  shall  default in the payment of such Debentures at the Redemption
Price  or Special Redemption Price, as applicable) interest on the Debentures or
portions  of  Debentures  so  called  for  redemption  shall cease to accrue. On

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

Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company, and
thereupon  the  predecessor entity shall be relieved of any further liability or
obligation  hereunder  or  upon the Debentures.  Such successor entity thereupon
may  cause  to  be  signed,  and  may  issue  in its own name, any or all of the
Debentures  issuable  hereunder  which theretofore shall not have been signed by
the  Company and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent; and, upon
the order of such successor entity instead of the Company and subject to all the

been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part
hereof,  and  shall  in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions
hereof.

     SECTION  14.9.     EXECUTION  IN  COUNTERPARTS.  This  Indenture  may  be
                        ---------------------------
executed  in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but
such  counterparts  shall  together  constitute but one and the same instrument.

     SECTION  14.10.     SEPARABILITY. In case any one or more of the provisions
                         ------------
contained in this Indenture or in the Debentures shall for any reason be held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality
or  unenforceability  shall not affect any other provisions of this Indenture or
of such Debentures, but this Indenture and such Debentures shall be construed as
if  such  invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein  or  therein.

     SECTION  14.11.     ASSIGNMENT.  The  Company  will  have the  right at all
                         ----------
times  to  assign  any  of  its  rights or obligations under this Indenture to a
direct  or  indirect  wholly  owned  Subsidiary  of  the  Company,


                                       43
<PAGE>
provided  that,  in  the  event  of any such assignment, the Company will remain
liable  for  all  such obligations.  Subject to the foregoing, this Indenture is
binding  upon  and  inures  to  the  benefit  of  the  parties  hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.  This Indenture may not otherwise be assigned
by  the  parties  hereto.

     SECTION  14.12.     ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RIGHTS. The Company agrees that, with
                         ------------------------
respect  to any Debentures held by the Trust or the Institutional Trustee of the
Trust,  if  the  Institutional  Trustee of the Trust fails to enforce its rights
under  this  Indenture  as  the  holder of Debentures held as the assets of such
Trust  after  the  holders  of  a  majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities  of  such Trust have so directed such Institutional Trustee, a holder
of  record  of  such  Capital Securities may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law,  institute  legal  proceedings directly against the Company to enforce such
Institutional  Trustee's  rights  under this Indenture without first instituting
any legal proceedings against such trustee or any other Person.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  if  an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such
event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest (or premium,
if any) or principal on the Debentures on the date such interest (or premium, if
any)  or  principal  is  otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the
redemption  date),  the  Company  agrees  that  a  holder  of  record of Capital
Securities  of the Trust may directly institute a proceeding against the Company
for  enforcement  of  payment  to  such  holder directly of the principal of (or
premium,  if  any)  or  interest on the Debentures having an aggregate principal
amount  equal  to  the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of
such  holder  on  or  after the respective due date specified in the Debentures.

                                   ARTICLE XV.
                           SUBORDINATION OF DEBENTURES
                           ---------------------------

     SECTION  15.1.     AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE.  The  Company  covenants  and
                        ------------------------
agrees,  and  each  holder  of  Debentures  by  such Securityholder's acceptance
thereof  likewise  covenants  and  agrees,  that  all Debentures shall be issued
subject  to  the  provisions of this Article XV; and each holder of a Debenture,
whether  upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and
agrees  to  be  bound  by  such  provisions.

     The  payment  by  the Company of the principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest  on  all  Debentures shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter
set  forth,  be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in  full  of  all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding at the
date  of  this  Indenture  or  thereafter  incurred.

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

     SECTION  15.2.     DEFAULT ON SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.  In the event and during
                        ------------------------------
the  continuation  of  any  default  by the Company in the payment of principal,
premium,  interest  or  any  other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness of the
Company  following  any  grace  period, or in the event that the maturity of any
Senior Indebtedness of the Company has been accelerated because of a default and
such  acceleration  has  not  been  rescinded  or  canceled  and  such  Senior
Indebtedness  has  not been paid in full, then, in either case, no payment shall
be  made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption) of,
or  premium,  if  any,  or  interest  on  the  Debentures.

     In  the  event  that,  notwithstanding  the foregoing, any payment shall be
received  by  the  Trustee  when  such  payment  is  prohibited by the preceding
paragraph  of this Section 15.2, such payment shall, subject to Section 15.7, be
held  in  trust  for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the
holders  of  Senior  Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the
trustee  or  trustees  under  any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but
only  to  the  extent  that  the  holders  of  the Senior Indebtedness (or their


                                       44
<PAGE>
representative  or  representatives  or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing
within  90  days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the Senior
Indebtedness  and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall
be  paid  to  the  holders  of  Senior  Indebtedness.

     SECTION  15.3.     LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, BANKRUPTCY.  Upon  any payment
                        ------------------------------------
by  the  Company  or  distribution  of  assets  of  the  Company  of any kind or
character,  whether  in  cash,  property  or  securities,  to creditors upon any
dissolution  or  winding-up  or  liquidation  or  reorganization of the Company,
whether  voluntary  or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
other  proceedings,  all amounts due upon all Senior Indebtedness of the Company
shall  first  be  paid  in  full,  or  payment  thereof provided for in money in
accordance with its terms, before any payment is made by the Company, on account
of  the  principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Debentures. Upon any
such  dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment by
the  Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether  in  cash,  property  or securities, to which the Securityholders or the
Trustee would be entitled to receive from the Company, except for the provisions
of this Article XV, shall be paid by the Company, or by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy,  liquidating  trustee,  agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution,  or  by the Securityholders or by the Trustee under this Indenture
if  received  by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro
rata  to  such  holders  on  the  basis  of  the  respective  amounts  of Senior
Indebtedness  held  by  such  holders,  as  calculated  by the Company) or their
representative  or  representatives,  or  to  the  trustee or trustees under any
indenture  pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness
may  have  been  issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent
necessary  to  pay  such Senior Indebtedness in full, in money or money's worth,
after  giving  effect  to  any  concurrent payment or distribution to or for the
holders  of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made
to  the  Securityholders  or  to  the  Trustee.

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

     For  purposes  of this Article XV, the words "cash, property or securities"
shall  not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or
readjusted,  or  securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for
by  a  plan  of  reorganization  or  readjustment,  the  payment  of  which  is
subordinated  at least to the extent provided in this Article XV with respect to
the  Debentures  to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, that may at the time
be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new
corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and
(ii)  the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the
consent  of  such  holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.  The
consolidation  of  the  Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another
corporation  or  the  liquidation  or  dissolution  of the Company following the
conveyance  or  transfer  of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an
entirety,  to  another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in
Article  XI  of  this  Indenture  shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation  or  reorganization  for  the purposes of this Section if such other
corporation  shall,  as  a  part  of  such  consolidation, merger, conveyance or
transfer,  comply  with  the


                                       45
<PAGE>
conditions  stated  in Article XI of this Indenture.  Nothing in Section 15.2 or
in  this  Section shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant  to  Section  6.6  of  this  Indenture.

     SECTION  15.4.     SUBROGATION.  Subject  to  the  payment  in  full of all
                        -----------
Senior  Indebtedness,  the  Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of
the  holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of
cash,  property  or  securities  of  the  Company,  applicable  to  such  Senior
Indebtedness  until  the  principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Debentures  shall  be  paid  in  full.  For the purposes of such subrogation, no
payments  or  distributions  to  the  holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any
cash,  property  or securities to which the Securityholders or the Trustee would
be  entitled  except  for the provisions of this Article XV, and no payment over
pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  Article XV to or for the benefit of the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Securityholders or the Trustee, shall, as
between  the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of
the  Company,  and  the  holders  of the Debentures be deemed to be a payment or
distribution  by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is
understood  that  the  provisions of this Article XV are and are intended solely
for  the  purposes  of  defining  the  relative  rights  of  the  holders of the
Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the
other  hand.

     Nothing  contained  in this Article XV or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the  Debentures  is  intended  to  or  shall impair, as between the Company, its
creditors  other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of the
Debentures,  the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to  pay  to the holders of the Debentures the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable
in  accordance  with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights of the holders of the Debentures and creditors of the Company, other than
the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent
the  Trustee  or  the  holder  of  any  Debenture  from  exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject
to  the  rights,  if  any,  under  this Article XV of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, received
upon  the  exercise  of  any  such  remedy.

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

     SECTION  15.5.     TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION. Each Securityholder
                        ------------------------------------
by  such  Securityholder's acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee
on  such  Securityholder's  behalf  to  take  such action as may be necessary or
appropriate  to  effectuate  the  subordination  provided in this Article XV and
appoints the Trustee such Securityholder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.

     SECTION  15.6.     NOTICE  BY  THE COMPANY. The  Company  shall give prompt
                        -----------------------
written  notice  to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Principal Office
of  the  Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making
of  any  payment  of  monies  to  or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures
pursuant to the provisions of this Article XV. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this  Article XV or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not
be  charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the
making  of  any  payment  of  monies  to  or  by  the  Trustee in respect of the
Debentures  pursuant  to  the  provisions of this Article XV, unless and until a
Responsible


                                       46
<PAGE>
Officer  of  the  Trustee  at  the  Principal  Office  of the Trustee shall have
received  written  notice  thereof  from  the  Company or a holder or holders of
Senior  Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any
such  written  notice,  the  Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VI of
this  Indenture,  shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts
exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
       --------  -------
provided  for  in  this  Section at least 2 Business Days prior to the date upon
which  by  the  terms  hereof  any  money  may  become  payable  for any purpose
(including,  without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any)  or  interest  on  any  Debenture),  then, anything herein contained to the
contrary  notwithstanding,  the  Trustee  shall have full power and authority to
receive  such  money  and  to apply the same to the purposes for which they were
received,  and  shall  not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be
received  by  it  within  2  Business  Days  prior  to  such  date.

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

     SECTION 15.7.     RIGHTS OF THE TRUSTEE; HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS.
                       -----------------------------------------------------
The  Trustee  in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set
forth  in this Article XV in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held
by  it,  to  the  same  extent  as  any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and
nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
holder.

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

     Nothing  in  this  Article XV shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee  under  or  pursuant  to  Section  6.6.

     SECTION 15.8.     SUBORDINATION  MAY  NOT  BE IMPAIRED.  No  right  of  any
                       ------------------------------------
present  or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as
herein  provided  shall  at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any
act  or  failure  to act on the part of the Company, or by any act or failure to
act,  in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company,
with  the  terms,  provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any
knowledge  thereof  that  any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

     Without  in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the
holders  of  Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without
the  consent  of  or  notice  to  the  Trustee  or  the Securityholders, without
incurring  responsibility  to  the  Securityholders  and  without  impairing  or


                                       47
<PAGE>
releasing  the  subordination  provided  in  this  Article XV or the obligations
hereunder  of  the  holders  of  the  Debentures  to  the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following:  (i) change the manner, place
or  terms  of  payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such
Senior  Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior
Indebtedness  or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
such  Senior  Indebtedness  is  outstanding;  (ii)  sell,  exchange,  release or
otherwise  deal  with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such
Senior  Indebtedness;  (iii)  release  any  Person  liable in any manner for the
collection  of  such  Senior  Indebtedness;  and  (iv)  exercise or refrain from
exercising  any  rights  against  the  Company,  and  any  other  Person.

         Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debenture

                       Community Capital Bancshares, Inc.

                                 March 26, 2003

     Community  Capital  Bancshares,  Inc., a Georgia corporation (the "Company"
which  term  includes  any  successor  Person  under  the  Indenture hereinafter
referred  to),  for  value  received  promises  to  pay  to  U. S. Bank National
Association,  not in its individual capacity but solely as Institutional Trustee
for  Community  Capital  Statutory Trust I (the "Holder") or registered assigns,
the  principal  sum  of  four  million  one hundred twenty-four thousand dollars
($4,124,000.00)  on  March  26,  2033, and to pay interest on said principal sum
from  March  26,  2003, or from the most recent interest payment date (each such
date,  an  "Interest  Payment  Date")  to  which  interest has been paid or duly
provided  for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on
March  26, June 26, September 26 and December 26 of each year commencing on June
26,  2003,  at an annual rate equal to 4.41063% beginning on (and including) the
date  of original issuance and ending on (but excluding) June 26, 2003 and at an
annual  rate  for  each  successive period beginning on (and including) June 26,
2003,  and  each succeeding Interest Payment Date, and ending on (but excluding)
the  next succeeding Interest Payment Date (each a "Distribution Period"), equal
to 3-Month LIBOR, determined as described below, plus 3.15% (the "Coupon Rate");
provided,  however,  that  prior  to  March  26, 2008, the Coupon Rate shall not
--------   -------
exceed  11.75%,  applied  to  the  principal  amount hereof, until the principal
hereof  is  paid  or duly provided for or made available for payment, and on any
overdue  principal  and  (without  duplication and to the extent that payment of
such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of
interest (including Additional Interest) at the Interest Rate in effect for each
applicable  period,  compounded  quarterly,  from  the  dates


                                      A-1-2
<PAGE>
such  amounts  are  due  until they are paid or made available for payment.  The
amount  of  interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of the
actual  number  of days in the Distribution Period concerned divided by 360.  In
the  event that any date on which interest is payable on this Debenture is not a
Business  Day,  then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made
on  the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or
other  payment  in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day
is  in  the  next  succeeding  calendar  year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately  preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as  if  made  on  the  date  the  payment  was originally payable.  The interest
installment  so  payable,  and  punctually  paid  or  duly  provided for, on any
Interest  Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person
in  whose  name  this  Debenture  (or  one  or  more  Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest
installment,  which shall be fifteen days prior to the day on which the relevant
Interest  Payment  Date occurs.  Any such interest installment not so punctually
paid  or  duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such  regular  record  date  and  may  be  paid to the Person in whose name this
Debenture  (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business  on  a  special  record  date.

     "3-Month LIBOR" as used herein, means the London interbank offered interest
rate  for  three-month  U.S.  dollar  deposits  determined by the Trustee in the
following order of priority:  (i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum)
for  U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that appears on Telerate
Page  3750  as  of  11:00  a.m.  (London time) on the related Determination Date
("Telerate  Page  3750"  means  the display designated as "Page 3750" on the Dow
Jones  Telerate  Service  or  such  other  page as may replace Page 3750 on that
service  or  such  other  service or services as may be nominated by the British
Bankers'  Association  as  the  information vendor for the purpose of displaying
London  interbank  offered  rates  for  U.S. dollar deposits); (ii) if such rate
cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Trustee will request
the  principal  London  offices  of  four  leading banks in the London interbank
market  to  provide such banks' offered quotations (expressed as percentages per
annum)  to  prime  banks in the London interbank market for U.S. dollar deposits
having  a  three-month  maturity  as  of  11:00  a.m.  (London  time)  on  such
Determination Date.  If at least two quotations are provided, 3-Month LIBOR will
be  the  arithmetic  mean  of  such  quotations;  (iii)  if  fewer than two such
quotations  are  provided  as  requested  in clause (ii) above, the Trustee will
request four major New York City banks to provide such banks' offered quotations
(expressed as percentages per annum) to leading European banks for loans in U.S.
dollars  as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination Date.  If at least
two  such  quotations are provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of
such  quotations;  and  (iv)  if  fewer than two such quotations are provided as
requested  in  clause  (iii)  above,  3-Month  LIBOR  will  be  a  3-Month LIBOR
determined  with  respect  to the Distribution Period immediately preceding such
current  Distribution  Period.  If  the  rate  for U.S. dollar deposits having a
three-month  maturity  that  initially appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00
a.m.  (London  time)  on  the  related  Determination  Date is superseded on the
Telerate  Page  3750  by  a  corrected  rate by 12:00 noon (London time) on such
Determination  Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted on the applicable
page  will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination Date.  As used
herein,  "Determination  Date"  means  the  date that is two London Banking Days
(i.e.,  a  business  day  in  which  dealings  in  deposits  in U.S. dollars are
transacted  in  the  London  interbank market) preceding the commencement of the
relevant  Distribution  Period.

     The  Interest  Rate  for  any Distribution Period will at no time be higher
than the maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be modified
by  United  States  law.

     All  percentages  resulting from any calculations on the Debentures will be
rounded,  if  necessary,  to  the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point,  with  five  one-millionths  of  a percentage point rounded upward (e.g.,
9.876545%  (or  .09876545)  being  rounded  to  9.87655%  (or .0987655), and all


                                      A-1-3
<PAGE>
dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the
nearest  cent  (with  one-half  cent  being  rounded  upward)).

     The  principal  of  and  interest on this Debenture shall be payable at the
office or agency of the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company)
maintained  for  that  purpose  in  any coin or currency of the United States of
America  that  at  the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private  debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made by check
                --------  -------
mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Debenture
Register  if  a request for a wire transfer by such holder has not been received
by the Company or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the
holder  hereof.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  so long as the holder of this
Debenture  is  the  Institutional  Trustee,  the payment of the principal of and
interest  on  this Debenture will be made in immediately available funds at such
place  and  to  such  account  as  may  be  designated  by  the  Trustee.

     So  long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall  have  the  right,  from  time  to  time,  and without causing an Event of
Default,  to  defer  payments  of  interest  on  the Debentures by extending the
interest  payment  period  on  the  Debentures at any time and from time to time
during  the  term  of the Debentures, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods
(each  such  extended  interest  payment  period, an "Extension Period"), during
which  Extension Period no interest (including Additional Interest) shall be due
and  payable  (except  any  Additional  Sums  that  may be due and payable).  No
Extension  Period may end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.  During
an  Extension  Period,  interest  will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and
interest  on  such  accrued  interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to the
Interest Rate in effect for such Extension Period, compounded quarterly from the
date such interest would have been payable were it not for the Extension Period,
to  the extent permitted by law (such interest referred to herein as "Additional
Interest").  At  the  end of any such Extension Period the Company shall pay all
interest  then  accrued  and  unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional
Interest thereon); provided, however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond
                   --------  -------
the  Maturity  Date;  provided  further, however, that during any such Extension
                      --------  -------  -------
Period,  the  Company  shall not and shall not permit any Affiliate to engage in
any  of  the activities or transactions described on the reverse side hereof and
in the Indenture.  Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Company
may further extend such period, provided that such period together with all such
previous  and  further  consecutive  extensions  thereof  shall  not  exceed  20
consecutive  quarterly  periods,  or  extend beyond the Maturity Date.  Upon the
termination  of  any  Extension  Period  and upon the payment of all accrued and
unpaid  interest  and  Additional  Interest,  the  Company  may  commence  a new
Extension  Period,  subject  to  the  foregoing  requirements.  No  interest  or
Additional  Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except
at  the  end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have
been  due  and  payable  during  such  Extension  Period  shall  bear Additional
Interest.  The  Company must give the Trustee notice of its election to begin or
extend  an Extension Period at least 5 Business Days prior to the regular record
date  (as  such  term  is  used  in  Section  2.8  of the Indenture) immediately
preceding  the  Interest  Payment  Date  with  respect  to which interest on the
Debentures  would  have  been payable except for the election to begin or extend
such  Extension  Period.

     The  indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is, to the extent provided in
the  Indenture,  subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in  full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Debenture is issued subject to the
provisions  of  the  Indenture  with  respect  thereto.  Each  holder  of  this
Debenture,  by  accepting  the  same,  (a)  agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions,  (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take
such  action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the
subordination  so  provided  and  (c)  appoints  the  Trustee  his  or  her
attorney-in-fact  for  any and all such purposes.  Each holder hereof, by his or
her  acceptance  hereof,  hereby  waives  all  notice  of  the acceptance of the
subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of
Senior  Indebtedness,  whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives
reliance  by  each  such  holder  upon  said  provisions.

     The  provisions  of this Debenture are continued on the reverse side hereof
and  such provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE]

     This  Debenture  is one of the floating rate junior subordinated deferrable
interest  debentures  of  the  Company,  all  issued  or  to be issued under and
pursuant  to  the  Indenture  dated as of March 26, 2003 (the "Indenture"), duly
executed  and  delivered between the Company and the Trustee, to which Indenture
reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations,  duties  and  immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and
the  holders  of  the  Debentures.  The  Debentures  are  limited  in  aggregate
principal  amount  as  specified  in  the  Indenture.

     Upon  the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event prior to March 26,
2008,  the  Company  shall have the right to redeem the Debentures in whole, but
not  in  part,  at  any  Interest  Payment  Date,  within 120 days following the
occurrence  of  such  Special  Event,  at  the  Special  Redemption  Price.

     In  addition, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Debentures, in
whole or in part, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples
of  $1,000.00,  on  any Interest Payment Date on or after March 26, 2008, at the
Redemption  Price.

     Prior  to  10:00  a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date or Special
Redemption  Date,  as  applicable,  the Company will deposit with the Trustee or
with  one  or  more paying agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the
Redemption  Date  or  the  Special  Redemption  Date,  as  applicable,  all  the
Debentures  so  called  for  redemption  at  the appropriate Redemption Price or
Special  Redemption  Price.

     If  all,  or  less than all, the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company
will  give  the  Trustee  notice  not  less  than  45  nor  more  than  60 days,
respectively,  prior  to  the  Redemption  Date  or  Special Redemption Date, as
applicable,  as  to  the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed
and  the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall
deem  appropriate  and  fair,  the  Debentures  or portions thereof (in integral
multiples  of  $1,000.00)  to  be  redeemed.

     Notwithstanding  the foregoing, any redemption of Debentures by the Company
shall  be  subject  to the receipt of any and all required regulatory approvals.

     In  case  an  Event  of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon
demand  of  the Trustee, the principal of all of the Debentures shall become due
and  payable  in  the  manner,  with  the  effect  and subject to the conditions
provided  in  the  Indenture.

     The  Indenture  contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with  the  consent  of  the  holders  of  not  less than a majority in aggregate
principal  amount  of  the  Debentures  at  the  time  outstanding,  to  execute
supplemental  indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in  any  manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any
supplemental  indenture  or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders
of  the Debentures; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall
                    --------  -------
without  the  consent  of  the  holders  of  each Debenture then outstanding and
affected  thereby  (i) change the fixed maturity of any Debenture, or reduce the
principal  amount  thereof  or any premium thereon, or reduce the rate or extend
the  time  of  payment  of  interest  thereon,  or  reduce any amount payable on
redemption  thereof  or  make  the  principal thereof or any interest or premium
thereon  payable  in  any  coin  or  currency  other  than  that provided in the
Debentures,  or  impair  or  affect the right of any Securityholder to institute
suit for payment thereof or impair the right of repayment, if any, at the option
of the holder, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures the holders
of  which  are  required  to  consent  to  any  such  supplemental  indenture.

     The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority
in  aggregate  principal  amount  of  the  Debentures at the time outstanding on
behalf  of  the  holders  of  all  of  the  Debentures  to


                                      A-1-7
<PAGE>
waive  (or modify any previously granted waiver of) any past default or Event of
Default,  and its consequences, except a default (a) in the payment of principal
of,  premium,  if  any,  or interest on any of the Debentures, (b) in respect of
covenants  or  provisions hereof or of the Indenture which cannot be modified or
amended  without the consent of the holder of each Debenture affected, or (c) in
respect  of  the  covenants contained in Section 3.9 of the Indenture; provided,
                                                                       --------
however,  that  if  the  Debentures  are  held by the Trust or a trustee of such
-------
trust,  such  waiver or modification to such waiver shall not be effective until
the holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities of the Trust
shall  have  consented  to such waiver or modification to such waiver, provided,
                                                                       --------
further,  that  if  the  consent  of the holder of each outstanding Debenture is
-------
required,  such  waiver  shall  not  be effective until each holder of the Trust
Securities  of  the  Trust  shall  have consented to such waiver.  Upon any such
waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes
of  the Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debentures
shall  be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively;
but  no  such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of
Default  or  impair any right consequent thereon.  Whenever any default or Event
of  Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by the Indenture, said
default  or  Event  of  Default shall for all purposes of the Debentures and the
Indenture  be  deemed  to  have  been  cured  and  to  be  not  continuing.

     No  reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture or
of  the  Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute  and  unconditional,  to  pay the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest, including Additional Interest, on this Debenture at the time and place
and  at  the  rate  and  in  the  money  herein  prescribed.

     The Company has agreed that if Debentures are initially issued to the Trust
or  a  trustee of such Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities
by  the  Trust  (regardless  of  whether  Debentures continue to be held by such
Trust)  and (i) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default,
(ii)  the  Company  shall  be  in  default  with  respect  to its payment of any
obligations  under  the Capital Securities Guarantee, or (iii) the Company shall
have  given  notice  of  its  election  to  defer  payments  of  interest on the
Debentures  by extending the interest payment period as provided herein and such
Extension  Period,  or  any  extension  thereof,  shall  be continuing, then the
Company  shall  not,  and  shall  not allow any Affiliate of the Company to, (x)
declare  or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire,
or  make  a  liquidation  payment  with respect to, any of the Company's capital
stock  or  its  Affiliates'  capital  stock (other than payments of dividends or
distributions to the Company) or make any guarantee payments with respect to the
foregoing  or  (y)  make  any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if
any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company or any
Affiliate that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Debentures  (other  than,  with  respect  to  clauses  (x)  and  (y) above,  (1)
repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the
Company  in  connection  with  any  employment  contract,  benefit plan or other
similar  arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers,
directors  or  consultants,  in  connection  with  a  dividend  reinvestment  or
stockholder  stock  purchase  plan or in connection with the issuance of capital
stock  of  the  Company  (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such
capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior
to  the  applicable Extension Period, if any, (2) as a result of any exchange or
conversion of any class or series of the Company's capital stock (or any capital
stock  of  a subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company's
capital  stock  or  of any class or series of the Company's indebtedness for any
class  or  series of the Company's capital stock, (3) the purchase of fractional
interests in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or
exchange  provisions  of  such  capital stock or the security being converted or
exchanged,  (4)  any  declaration  of  a  dividend  in  connection  with  any
stockholders'  rights  plan,  or the issuance of rights, stock or other property
under  any  stockholders' rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant  thereto,  (5)  any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or
other  rights  where  the  dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of
such  warrants,  options  or other rights is the same stock as that on which the
dividend  is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock and any


                                      A-1-8
<PAGE>
cash  payments  in  lieu of fractional shares issued in connection therewith, or
(6)  payments  under  the  Capital  Securities  Guarantee).

     The  Debentures  are issuable only in registered, certificated form without
coupons  and  in  minimum  denominations  of  $100,000.00  and  any  multiple of
$1,000.00  in  excess  thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to the
transfer  restrictions  and  limitations  as may be contained herein and therein
from  time  to  time, this Debenture is transferable by the holder hereof on the
Debenture  Register  of  the  Company.  Upon due presentment for registration of
transfer  of  any  Debenture  at  the  Principal Office of the Trustee or at any
office  or  agency  of  the  Company  maintained for such purpose as provided in
Section  3.2  of  the  Indenture,  the Company shall execute, the Company or the
Trustee  shall  register  and  the  Trustee  or  the  Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate  and  make  available for delivery in the name of the transferee or
transferees  a  new  Debenture  for  a  like  aggregate  principal  amount.  All
Debentures  presented  for  registration  of transfer or for exchange or payment
shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer  in  form  satisfactory  to,  the  Company  and  the  Trustee  or  the
Authenticating Agent duly executed by the holder or his attorney duly authorized
in writing.  No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer  of Debentures, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a
sum  sufficient  to  cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be
imposed  in  connection  therewith.

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debenture, the
Company,  the  Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent, any transfer
agent  and  any  Debenture  registrar  may  deem  the  Person in whose name such
Debenture  shall  be registered upon the Debenture Register to be, and may treat
him  as,  the  absolute  owner  of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture
