in one or more Series. All Securities of a Series shall be identical except as
may be set forth in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers'
Certificate detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to the
authority granted under a Board Resolution. In the case of Securities of a
Series to be issued from time to time, the Board Resolution, Officers'
Certificate or supplemental indenture may provide for the method by which
specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from
which interest shall accrue) are to be determined.  Securities may differ
between Series in respect of any matters, provided that all Series of Securities
shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers' Certificate pursuant to

or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which the Securities of the

provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the period or periods within
which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which
Securities of the Series shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part,
pursuant to such obligation;

          2.2.16.   the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of
or interest, if any, on the Securities of the Series will be determined, if such

     Section 2.3.   Execution and Authentication.
                    ----------------------------

          Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature.

          If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that
office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall
nevertheless be valid.

          A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.  The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this
Indenture.

          The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate
Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers' Certificate, upon receipt
by the Trustee of a Company Order.  Such Company Order may authorize
authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the
Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be
promptly confirmed in writing.  Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers' Certificate.

          The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding
at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such
Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or
Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in
Section 2.8.

          Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall
have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying
on:  (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers'
Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of
Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or
of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers' Certificate complying with
Section 10.4, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4.

          The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee
or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that
such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any
then outstanding Series of Securities.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the
Company to authenticate Securities.  An authenticating agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An
authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or
an Affiliate.

     Section 2.4.   Registrar and Paying Agent.
                    --------------------------

          The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities,
at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section
2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or
surrendered for payment ("Paying Agent"), where Securities of such Series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange ("Registrar") and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such
Series and this Indenture may be served ("Service Agent").  The Registrar shall
keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer
and exchange.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar,
Paying Agent or Service Agent.  If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall
fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-
registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents and may from
time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
                                        --------  -------
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each
place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such
purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any
such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional service agent.  The
term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar; the term "Paying Agent" includes any
additional paying agent; and the term "Service Agent" includes any additional
service agent.

          The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying
Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent
or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities
of that Series are first issued.

     Section 2.5.   Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
               -----------------------------------

          The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of
Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by
the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of
Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making
any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  The Company at any
time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or
a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.  If the Company or
a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate
trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all
money held by it as Paying Agent.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Section 2.6.   Securityholder Lists.
               --------------------

          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA
(S) 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to
the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such
other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of
such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
Securityholders of each Series of Securities.

Section 2.7.   Transfer and Exchange.
               ---------------------

          Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-
registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register
the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are
met.  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request.  No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly
permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge
payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).

          Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue,
register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period
beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the
mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for
redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected,
called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed
of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

     Section 2.8.   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
                    ------------------------------------------------

          If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security  of the same Series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

          If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security
and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.



                                       11
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

     Section 2.9.   Outstanding Securities.
                    ----------------------

          The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security
effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those
described in this Section as not outstanding.

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be
outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of any thereof) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money
sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that
date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue.

          A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate holds the Security.

          In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount
of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a
Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall
be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the
date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     Section 2.10.  Treasury Securities.
                    -------------------

          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver Securities of a Series owned by the Company
or an Affiliate shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only
Securities of a Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

     Section 2.11.  Temporary Securities.
                    --------------------

          Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company
Order.  Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive
Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Securities.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and
the Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same
Series and date of Maturity in exchange for temporary Securities.  Until so
exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture
as the definitive Securities.

of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may

     redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and

     Section 3.4.   Effect of Notice of Redemption.
                    ------------------------------

          Once notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in

     Section 6.2.   Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
                    --------------------------------------------------

          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the
time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default
referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f)) then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that
Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due
and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) shall
occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder.

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

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

                                       20
<PAGE>

               (i)   all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of that
          Series,

               (ii)  the principal of any Securities of that Series which have
          become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and
          interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
          Securities,

               (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
          interest upon any overdue principal and overdue interest at the rate
          or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

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

          (b)  all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series,
     other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that Series
     which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
     cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

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

     Section 6.3.   Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
                    -------------------------------------------------------
                    Trustee.
                    -------

          The Company covenants that if

          (a)  default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security
     when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
     period of 90 days, or

          (b)  default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at
     the Maturity thereof, or

          (c)  default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when
     and as due by the terms of a Security,

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

          If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or

                                       21
<PAGE>

final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor
upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

          If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series

and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such

enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

          (a)  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and
     interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such
     other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have

amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.

other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such
Holders.

discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall

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

          Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or

to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or
an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law
to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case
may be.

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

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such Series, provided that

     or with this Indenture,

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

outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such
Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of
or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series
may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

     Section 6.14.  Undertaking for Costs.
                    ---------------------

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

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,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on

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

        (a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise 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.

        (b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

               (i)    The Trustee need perform only those duties that are
        specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others.

               (ii)   In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
        conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
        of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers' Certificates or
        Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
        requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such
                                        -------
        Officers' Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions
        hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
        Trustee shall examine such Officers' Certificates and Opinions of
        Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
        this Indenture.

        (c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

               (i)   This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b)
        of this Section.

               (ii)  The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
        made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that
        the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

               (iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
        taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Securities
        of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
        Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
        of such Series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
        proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
        trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with
        respect to the Securities of such Series.

        (d)    Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the
Trustee is subject to paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

     (f)      The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received
by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

     (g)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.

     (h)      The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall
be entitled to the protections, immunities and standard of care as are set forth
in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the Trustee .

     (a)      The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

     (b)      Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such
Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

     (c)      The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible
for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. No
Depository shall be deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any act or omission by any Depository.

to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or
powers.

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

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

Section 7.4.   Trustee's Disclaimer.
               --------------------

        The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company's
use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement in the Securities other than its authentication.

Section 7.5.   Notice of Defaults.
               ------------------

        If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect
to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of
that Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one
occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default or Event of Default
within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of
a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any
Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as
its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
Securityholders of that Series.

Section 7.6.   Reports by Trustee to Holders.
               -----------------------------

        Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by
mail to all Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register
kept by the Registrar and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish in
an Authorized Newspaper, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance
with, and to the extent required under, TIA (S) 313.

        A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of
any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the
Securities of that Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 7.7.   Compensation and Indemnity.
               --------------------------

        The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited
by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

        The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (including the cost of defending
itself) against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it except as set
forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this
Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the

                                       28
<PAGE>

Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall
defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may
have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification
shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the
Trustee.

          The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any
loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee,
shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad faith.

          To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay
principal and interest on particular Securities of that Series.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

     Section 7.8.   Replacement of Trustee.
                    ----------------------

          A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section.

          The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more
Series by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to
that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove
the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if:

          (a)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

     for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

     its property; or

          (d)    the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint
a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

                                       29
<PAGE>

          If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or
more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at
least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

          If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more
Series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder of the applicable
Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that,
the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee
under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession
to each Securityholder of each such Series and, if any Bearer Securities are
outstanding, publish such notice on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the
Company's obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it
prior to such replacement.

     Section 7.9.   Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
                    --------------------------------

transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee.

     Section 7.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification.
                    -----------------------------

          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA (S) 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall always have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most
recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA
(S) 310(b) .

     Section 7.11.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
                    -------------------------------------------------

          The Trustee is subject to TIA (S)  311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA (S) 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to TIA (S) 311(a) to the extent indicated.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.7, and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the
provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 8.1 8.2 and 8.5 shall survive.

     pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 and all money received by the Trustee in
     respect of U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations
     deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, shall be held in
     trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the

     any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as
     the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the
     principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with

     then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which
     such U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money
     were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by
     the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
     Obligations held under this Indenture.

Section 2.2.20 to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, on and after the
91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (a) hereof,
the Company may omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth
under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 5.1 as well as any additional
covenants contained in a supplemental indenture hereto for a particular Series
of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers' Certificate delivered

          and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not
          later than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an
          amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
          firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a

     or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
     defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts,
     in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
     such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

          (e)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
     Certificate stating the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
     of preferring the Holders of the Securities of such Series over any other

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

          The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or

          (a)  to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

          (b)  to comply with Article V;

          (c)  to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in

                                       35
<PAGE>

          (g)  to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
     maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

     Section 9.2.   With Consent of Holders.
                    -----------------------

          The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture
with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such
supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), 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 Securityholders of each such Series. Except as
provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such waiver by notice
to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or
exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the
Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to
such Series.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities
under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under
this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of
Securities affected thereby and, if any Bearer Securities affected thereby are
outstanding, publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, a notice
briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the
Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture or waiver.

     Section 9.3.   Limitations.
                    -----------

          Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or
waiver may not:

          (a)  change the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an
     amendment, supplement or waiver;

          (b)  reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest
     (including default interest) on any Security;

          (c)  reduce the principal or premium on or change the Stated Maturity
     of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for,
     the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation;

          (d)  reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon
     acceleration of the maturity thereof;

          (e)  waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
     principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of
     acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a
     majority in principal amount of the outstanding

                                       36
<PAGE>

     Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted
     from such acceleration);

          (f)  make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security
     payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security;

          (g)  make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or

          (h)  waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security or change
     any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any Securities.

     Section 9.4.   Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
                    -----------------------------------

          Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more
Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with
the TIA as then in effect.

     Section 9.5.   Revocation and Effect of Consents.
                    ---------------------------------

          Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a
Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent
Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as
the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on
any Security.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the
notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.

          Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder
of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type
described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3.  In that case, the
amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it
and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

     Section 9.6.   Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
                    -------------------------------------

          The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or
waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated.  The Company in
exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the
amendment or waiver.

     Section 9.7.   Trustee Protected.
                    -----------------

          In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all
supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental
indenture that adversely affects its rights.

     Section 10.15. Securities in a Foreign Currency or in ECU.
                    ------------------------------------------

          Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2
of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever
for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a
specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series
or all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at
such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated
in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including ECUs), then the principal
amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for
the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be
obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes
of this Section 10.15, "Market Exchange Rate" shall mean the noon Dollar buying
rate in New York City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, Market
                                  --------  -------
Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of
the European Union (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official
Journal of the European Union (such publication or any successor publication,
the "Journal").  If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason
with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and
without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal,
as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs,
rates of exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the
country of issue of the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in
Luxembourg or such other quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange
as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate.  The
provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal
amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than
Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to
the terms of this Indenture.

          All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market
Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding
paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and
irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.

     Section 10.16. Judgment Currency.
                    -----------------

          The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do
so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in
any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of
or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the "Required
Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment
Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New
York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final
unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day,
then, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in

                                       41
<PAGE>

The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New
York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is
entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the
Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any
recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with
subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the
extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the
payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in
respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required
Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of
the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii)
shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under
this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any
day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York on
which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or
executive order to close.

                                  ARTICLE XI.
                                 SINKING FUNDS

     Section 11.1.  Applicability of Article.
                    ------------------------

          The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted
or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this
Indenture.

          The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a "mandatory
sinking fund payment" and any other amount provided for by the terms of
Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment."  If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash
amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 11.2.  Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such
Series.

     Section 11.2.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.
                    -----------------------------------------------------

          The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking
fund payment with respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to
the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series
to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such
Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2)
apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is
applicable and which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company
pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any
mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking
fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited.
Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers'
Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on
which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and
shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such
Securities for redemption through operation

                                       42
<PAGE>

of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of
cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities
of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment
shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series
for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be
taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and
applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the
                                                     --------  -------
Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company
Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the
Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of
Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal
amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company.

     Section 11.3.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.
                    -----------------------------------------

          Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers' Certificate in respect of
a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for
any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund
payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of
Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if
any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and
the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.
Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution,
Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular
Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date
in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption
thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the
manner provided in Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
