WHEREAS, the Corporation has heretofore entered into a Senior Indenture, dated
as of April 1, 1998 (the "Original Indenture") with The Chase Manhattan Bank,
as Trustee;

WHEREAS, the Original Indenture is incorporated herein by this reference and
the Original Indenture, as amended and supplemented to the date hereof,
including by this    Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the "Indenture";

WHEREAS, under the Indenture, a new series of Securities may at any time be
established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the terms of
such series may be described by a supplemental indenture executed by the
Corporation and the Trustee;

WHEREAS, the Corporation proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of
Securities;

WHEREAS, additional Securities of other series hereafter established, except as
may be limited in the Indenture as at the time supplemented and modified, may
be issued from time to time pursuant to the Indenture as at the time
supplemented and modified; and

WHEREAS, all conditions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of
this    Supplemental Indenture and to make it a valid and binding obligation of
the Corporation have been done or performed.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set forth
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1

                        Series   % Senior Notes Due

Section 101. Establishment. There is hereby established a new series of
Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the
Corporation's Series   % Senior Notes due      (the "Series   Notes").

There are to be authenticated and delivered $           principal amount of
Series   Notes, and no further Series   Notes shall be authenticated and
delivered except as provided by Section 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1106 of the
Original Indenture. The Series   Notes shall be issued in fully registered form
without coupons.
<PAGE>

The Series   Notes shall be in substantially the form set out in Exhibit A
hereto, and the form of the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication for the
Series   Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B
hereto.

Each Series   Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof and shall
bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for.

Section 102. Definitions. The following defined terms used herein shall, unless
the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below. Capitalized

close of business on the 15th calendar day prior to such Interest Payment Date.

"Stated Maturity" means     ,     .

Section 103. Payment of Principal and Interest. The unpaid principal amount of
the Series   Notes shall bear interest at the rate of   % per annum until paid
or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from     ,     or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date to the Person or Persons in whose name the Series   Notes are registered
on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date; provided that
interest payable at the Stated Maturity of principal or on a Redemption Date as
provided herein shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any
such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such Regular Record Date and
may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose name the Series   Notes
are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the
payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee ("Special Record
Date"), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Series   Notes not less
than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange, if any, on which the Series   Notes may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Original Indenture.

Payments of interest on the Series   Notes shall include interest accrued to
but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the
Series   Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable
on the Series   Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest
payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day (and without any interest or payment in respect of any such delay)
with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was
originally payable. "Business Day" means a day other than (i) a Saturday or a
Sunday, (ii) a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are
authorized or obligated

                                       2

Corporate Trust Office is closed for business.

shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Series   Notes
represented by a Global Security shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the Holder of such Global Security, provided that, in the
case of payments of principal and premium, if any, such Global Security is
first surrendered to the Paying Agent. If any of the Series   Notes are no
longer represented by a Global Security, (i) payments of principal, premium, if
any, and interest due at the Stated Maturity or earlier redemption of such
Series   Notes shall be made at the office of the Paying Agent upon surrender
of such Series   Notes to the Paying Agent and (ii) payments of interest shall
be made, at the option of the Corporation, subject to such surrender where
applicable, (A) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (B) by wire transfer
at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States
as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior
to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

Section 104. Denominations. The Series   Notes shall be issued in denominations
of $   or any integral multiple thereof.

Section 105. Global Securities. The Series   Notes shall initially be issued in
the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the
Depositary (which initially shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its
nominee. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Series   Notes
represented by such Global Security or Global Securities shall not be
exchangeable for, and shall not otherwise be issuable as, Series   Notes in
definitive form. The Global Securities described above may not be transferred
except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or to a
successor Depositary or its nominee.

A Global Security shall be exchangeable for Series   Notes registered in the
names of persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the
Depositary notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as a Depositary for such Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have
been appointed by the Corporation within 90 days of receipt by the Corporation
of such notification, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is
required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor
Depositary shall have been appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after it
becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) the Corporation in its sole discretion
determines that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global
Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
exchangeable for Series   Notes registered in such names as the Depositary
shall direct.

Section 106. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation. The Series   Notes
shall be redeemable, in whole or from time to time in part, at the option of
the Corporation on any date (a "Redemption Date"), at a Redemption Price equal
to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Series   Notes to be
redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining

                                       3
<PAGE>

scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest
accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-
annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at
the Treasury Rate plus   basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Series
Notes, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published
statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which
is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and
which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities,"
for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity
is within three months before or after the Stated Maturity, yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury
Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or
extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest
month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published
during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields,
the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be
calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected
by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the Series   Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at
the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Series   Notes.

"Independent Investment Banker" means                and any successor firm or,
if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an
independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by
the Trustee after consultation with the Corporation.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any Redemption Date for the
Series   Notes (i) the average of    Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for
such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than    such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of                        ,         ,
            ,           and               and their respective successors;
provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary
U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury
Dealer"), the Corporation will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury
Dealer.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the
Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for

                                       4
<PAGE>

the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding
such Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Original Indenture, the notice of
redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the
Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.

The Corporation shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Price with respect
to the foregoing redemption promptly after the calculation thereof. The Trustee
shall not be responsible for calculating said Redemption Price.

If less than all of the Series   Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall
select the Series   Notes or portions of Series   Notes to be redeemed by such
method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee may select
for redemption Series   Notes and portions of Series   Notes in amounts of
whole multiples of $    .

The Series   Notes shall not have a sinking fund.

Section 107. Paying Agent. The Trustee shall initially serve as Paying Agent
with respect to the Series   Notes, with the Place of Payment initially being
the Corporate Trust Office.

                                   ARTICLE 2

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

respect of the Series   Notes and this    Supplemental Indenture as fully and
with like effect as if set forth herein in full.

supplemented hereby, the Original Indenture is in all respects ratified and
confirmed, and the Original Indenture and this    Supplemental Indenture shall

for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity
is within three months before or after the Stated Maturity, yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury
Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or
extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest
month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published
during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields,
the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be
calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected
by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the
remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of the Securities of this series.

"Independent Investment Banker" means                and any successor firm or,
if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an
independent

investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee
after consultation with the Corporation.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any Redemption Date for the
Securities of this series (i) the average of    Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest
such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer
than    such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of           ,           ,           ,
           and            and their respective successors; provided, however,
that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the
Corporation will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the
Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

Notice of any redemption by the Corporation will be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before any Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities
of this series to be redeemed. If less than all the Securities of this series
are to be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, the Trustee shall select,
in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the Securities of this
series to be redeemed in whole or in part. The Trustee may select for
redemption Securities of this series and portions of Securities of this series
in amounts of whole multiples of $  .

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be

conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of all series
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby (voting as one
class). The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series
with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be
continuing (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of
all such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such default under the
Indenture and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such
series, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the
Indenture affecting such series. Any

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of
any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this
Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Corporation for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and
the Security Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this
series, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of
this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect
to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any
other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and
the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder
of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any
premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire
indebtedness of the Securities of this series and for covenant defeasance at
any time of certain covenants in the Indenture upon compliance with certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the
Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

coupons in denominations of $   and any integral multiple thereof. As provided
in the Indenture and subject to the limitations

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon
