to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced

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

         (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may,
at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record
date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company
shall have no obligation to do so, provided that the Company may not set a
record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with
respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in the immediately following paragraph. If such a record
date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed
to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of
such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by
the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months
after the record date.

         (f) The Trustee shall set a record date, which shall not be more than
15 days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action
contemplated by this section 1.04(f), for the purpose of determining the Holders
of Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any
Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section
5.02, (iii) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, (iv) any request to
institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.07(2) or (v) any waiver of past
defaults pursuant to Section 5.13, in each case with respect to Securities of
such series. If such a record date is fixed pursuant to this paragraph, the
relevant action may be taken or given before or after such record date, but only
the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be holders of Securities of a series for the purpose of determining
whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of such
series have authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that
purpose the Outstanding Securities of such series shall be computed as of such
record date; provided that no such action by Holders on such record date shall
be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions
of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new
record date for any action for which a record date has been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with
no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's reasonable expense,
shall cause notice of such record date and the proposed action by Holders to be
given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant
series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

     Section 1.05 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand,
authorization,  direction,  notice,  consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other
document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or

     every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing and
     mailed first-class postage prepaid, to or with the Trustee at Wilmington
     Trust Company, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington,

     Section 1.06 Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture or any
Security provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be

provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder
affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register,
not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders or the validity of the proceedings to which
such notice relates.

     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of
any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute
a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

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

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

     Section 1.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required
to be included or deemed included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. If any provision
of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
that may be so modified or excluded, such provision of the Trust Indenture Act
shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or shall be excluded,
as the case may be.

     Section 1.08 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

     Section 1.09 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not.

     Section 1.10 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture
or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 1.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties

specifically set forth herein the holders of Senior Debt, any benefit or any

governed by and construed in accordance with the laws (other than the choice of
law provisions) of the State of Delaware.

     Section 1.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any
Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then

(and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day or on such other day as may
be set out in the Officers' Certificate pursuant to Section 3.01 at such Place
of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment
Date, Redemption Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity,
as the case may be, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so

which itself is the Company or a Guarantor of the Securities) shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the
Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder, by accepting

     Section 1.15 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 premium or interest, if any, 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 Wilmington, Delaware the Required Currency with the Judgment
Currency on the Delaware Banking Day preceding that on which a final
unappealable judgment is given and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to
make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender, or 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, "DELAWARE BANKING
DAY" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in Wilmington,
Delaware or a day on which banking institutions in Wilmington, Delaware are
authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

provided for. Interest on any overdue principal shall be payable on demand. Any
such interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on demand shall bear
interest at the rate of _____% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such

on each certificated Security at Maturity shall be paid in same day funds to the
Holder upon surrender of such certificated Security at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, or at

such other place or places as may be designated in or pursuant to the Indenture,
provided that such certificated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, acting
as Paying Agent, in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in such
funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest with
respect to such certificated Securities other than at Maturity may, at the
option of the Company, be made by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as it appears on the Security Register on the relevant Regular

principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of [$1,000] and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations 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.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any

comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.01 and 3.07, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, payment of principal of and premium,

     regulations thereunder or advisable (as determined by the Company) in
     connection with the marketing of Securities of the series.

     All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as
to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided (i) by a Board
Resolution, (ii) by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution and (subject to
Section 3.03) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in an Officers'
Certificate or (iii) in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities
of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise
provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for
issuances of additional Securities of such series.

     If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by
action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of
such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Officers' Certificate setting forth, or providing the manner for determining,
the terms of the Securities of such series, and an appropriate record of any
action taken pursuant thereto in connection with the issuance of any Securities
of such series shall be delivered to the Trustee prior to the authentication and
delivery thereof.

     Section 3.02 Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable
in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01. In the absence of any such provisions with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

     Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its
Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer, or its
Chief Accounting Officer attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant
Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be
manual or facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such
reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee.

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

authenticate and make such Securities available for delivery. If the form or
terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to
one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through (d) of the Trust
Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating (subject to customary assumptions, conditions and exceptions):

         (a) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or
     pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms
     have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
     and

         (b) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
     Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
     conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
     legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
     their terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by
     applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
     conveyance and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
     rights generally and by the effect of general principles of equity
     (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
     equity or at law).

     If such terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required
to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this
Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the
Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee, or in the written opinion of counsel to the Trustee
(which counsel may be an employee of the Trustee) such authentication may not
lawfully be made or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the immediately
preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution
and the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the
Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to the second
preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security
of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication
upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities
of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more
global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in
accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to the
authentication and delivery of such series, authenticate and deliver one or more
Securities of such series in global form that (i) shall be in an aggregate
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series to be represented by such Security or Securities in global form,
(ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Security or
Securities in global form or its nominee, and (iii) shall be made available for
delivery by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's
instruction.

     The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine if the Depositary is
so registered. Each Depositary shall enter into an agreement with the Trustee
and the Company governing the respective duties and rights of such Depositary,
the Company and the Trustee with regard to Securities issued in global form.

     Unless otherwise provided for in the form of Security, each Security shall
be dated the date of its authentication.

     No Security shall be entitled to any benefits under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder
and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company,
and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not
comply with Section 1.02 and need not be


                                      -20-

<PAGE>

accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been
issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security
shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and
shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     Section 3.04 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Securities
of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

     In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be
in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of
such series.

     Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be
exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof), if temporary Securities of
any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series
shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of
the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any
series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like
tenor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series.

     Section 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or
in any office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with
Section 10.02 in a Place of Payment a register (the register maintained in such
office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "SECURITY REGISTER") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company
shall provide for the registration of Securities and of registration of
transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "SECURITY REGISTRAR"
for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series
at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a
like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity.

     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Security in
global form) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated
Maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

     Each Security issued in global form authenticated under this Indenture
shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such series or
a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or
custodian therefor, and each such Security issued in global form shall
constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in certificated form in the
circumstances described below, a Security in global form representing all or a
portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole
by the Depositary such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a
nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary or by such


                                      -21-

<PAGE>

Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a
nominee of such successor Depositary.

     If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the
Securities of such series or defaults in the performance of its duties as
Depositary or it at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series
shall no longer be eligible to perform such duties, the Company shall appoint a
successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a
successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware
of such ineligibility, the Company's selection pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(17)
shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of certificated Securities of such series of
like tenor, shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series of like
tenor in certificated form, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities of
such series of like tenor in global form in exchange for such Security or
Securities in global form.

     The Company may at any time in its sole discretion determine that
Securities issued in global form shall no longer be represented by such a
Security or Securities in global form. In such event the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of certificated Securities of such series of like tenor, shall
authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series of like tenor in
certificated form, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities of such
series of like tenor in global form in exchange for such Security or Securities
in global form.

     If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a
series of Securities, the Depositary for such series may surrender a Security in
global form of such series in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of
such series in certificated form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company
and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

         (i) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new certified
     Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor, of any authorized
     denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount
     equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the
     Security in global form; and

         (ii) to such Depositary a new Security in global form of like tenor in
     a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal
     amount of the surrendered Security in global form and the aggregate
     principal amount of certificated Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

     Upon the exchange of a Security in global form for Securities in
certificated form, such Security in global form shall be canceled by the
Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to
this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary for such Security in global form, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons
in whose names such Securities are so registered.

     Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing.

                                      -22-

     Unless otherwise provided in the Securities to be transferred or exchanged,
no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

     If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are
to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange Securities of such series during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section
11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed
in part.

     The foregoing provisions relating to registration, transfer and exchange
may be modified, supplemented or superseded with respect to any series of
Securities by a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental
hereto.

     Section 3.06 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 deliver, 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.

     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 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on
any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

     Any interest on any Security of any series which 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 Holder
on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

         (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
     on a

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

     Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
     shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
     Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
     on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which
     shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such
     notice, unless such Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the
     same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
     equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
     Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to
     the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment,
     such money when deposited to be 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 be not more than 15 days and not less
     than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10
     days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
     payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
     Record Date and, in the name and at the reasonable expense of the Company,
     shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
     the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
     to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in
     the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
     Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
     Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
     shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series
     (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
     business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
     pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

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

     Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security
for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest of a
Security in global form, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to any Security in global form, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company or the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee,
from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such
Security in global form or impair, as between such Depositary and owners of
beneficial interests in such Security in global form, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the right of such Depositary (or its
nominee) as holder of such Security in global form.

     Section 3.09 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any
sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee,
be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company
may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities shall
be held by the Trustee and may be destroyed (and, if so


                                      -24-

<PAGE>

destroyed, certification of their destruction shall be delivered to the Company,
unless, by a Company Order, the Company shall direct that canceled Securities be
returned to it).

     Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve
30-day months.

     Section 3.11 CUSIP Number. The Company in issuing Securities of any series
may use a "CUSIP" number, and if so, the Trustee may use the CUSIP number in
notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders of such series;
provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed on the notice or on the
Securities of such series, and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number of any series of
Securities.

     Section 3.12 Wire Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary in this Indenture, the Company may make any payment of moneys required
to be deposited with the Trustee on account of principal of, or premium, if any,
or interest on the Securities (whether pursuant to optional or mandatory
redemption payments, interest payments or otherwise) by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Trustee on or before
the date and time such moneys are to be paid to the Holders of the Securities in
accordance with the terms hereof.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

     Section 4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities and replacement of such Securities which
may have been lost, stolen or mutilated as herein expressly provided for or in
the form of Security for such series), when the Trustee, upon Company Request
and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

         (1) either (a) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
     (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and
     which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii)
     Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust
     or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the
     Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.05) have
     been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (b) all such Securities
     not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become
     due and payable, or (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated
     Maturity within one year, or (iii) are to be called for redemption within
     one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the
     giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
     reasonable expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (b)(i),
     (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust
     for the purpose an amount, in the currency or currencies or currency unit
     or units in which the Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to
     pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not
     theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal,
     premium, if any, and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of
     Securities which have become due and payable) or the Stated Maturity or
     Redemption Date, as the case may be;

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

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

         (4) no event or condition shall exist on the date of such deposit that,
     pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.02 or 14.03, would prevent the
     Company from making payments of the principal of or interest on the
     Securities of such series on the date of such deposit.


                                      -25-

<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07, the obligations of
the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last
paragraph of Section 10.05 shall survive.

     Section 4.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 10.05, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly
or through 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 premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has
been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

     Section 4.03 Application to a Specific Series of Securities. The Company
may elect to satisfy and discharge its obligations with respect to a specific
series of Securities under the Indenture by complying with the terms of Article
4. If the Company makes such election, (a) the terms of Section 4.01 and 4.02
shall apply only to the specific series of Securities and the terms of the
Indenture as it relates to such series of Securities and (b) the other
Securities issued hereunder and the Indenture as it relates to such other
Securities shall remain in full force and effect.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                    REMEDIES

     Section 5.01 Events of Default. Except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of a series, "EVENT OF DEFAULT,"
wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of
the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether
it shall be voluntary or involuntary or to be effected by reason of Article 14
hereof or 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):

         (1) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Security of
     that series when such interest becomes due and payable and the default
     continues for a period of 30 days; or

         (2) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of, or
     premium, if any, on any Security of that series when the same becomes due
     and payable at Maturity or on redemption or otherwise; or

         (3) the Company fails to deposit any sinking fund payment, for five
     days after it becomes due by the terms of a Security of that series; or

         (4) the Company fails to observe or perform in any material respect any
     of its other covenants, agreements or warranties in the Securities of that
     series or this Indenture (other than a covenant, agreement or warranty a
     default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section
     specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
     Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that
     series), and the failure to observe or perform continues for the period and
     after the notice specified in the last paragraph of this Section; or

         (5) an event of default, as defined in any mortgage, indenture, or
     instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be
     secured or evidenced, any Indebtedness of the Company (including Securities
     of another series) (other than the Securities of such series) (whether such
     Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created or incurred) shall
     occur, which event of default (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal
     of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness at final maturity
     after the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on
     the date of such event of default, and (ii) results in Indebtedness
     becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it
     would otherwise become due and payable, and such default in payment is not
     cured or such acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled within 30
     days after written notice to the Company from the Trustee or to the Company
     and to the Trustee from the Holders of at least twenty-five percent in
     aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series
     specifying such event of default and requiring the Company to cure such
     default in payment or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled
     and stating that such notice is

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

     a "NOTICE OF DEFAULT" hereunder; provided, however, that it shall not be an
     Event of Default if the principal amount of Indebtedness which is not paid
     at maturity or the maturity of which is accelerated is equal to or less
     than $20,000,000; provided further that if, prior to a declaration of
     acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of that series or the entry
     of judgment in favor of the Trustee in a suit pursuant to Section 5.03,
     such default shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the
     holders of such Indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason
     thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or
     waived without further action upon the part of either the Trustee or any of
     the Holders of the Securities of that series; or

         (6) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or
     within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (a) commences a voluntary case or
     proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to itself, (b) consents to
     the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an
     involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, (c) consents to or
     acquiesces in the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
     against it, (d) applies for, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment
     of or taking possession by a Custodian of it or for all or substantially
     all of its property, (e) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
     creditors or (f) takes any corporate action in furtherance of or to
     facilitate, conditionally or otherwise, any of the foregoing; or

         (7) (i) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment, decree or
     order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy
     Law which shall (a) approve as properly filed a petition seeking
     reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of the
     Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, (b) appoint a Custodian of
     the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or for all or
     substantially all of its property or (c) order the winding-up or
     liquidation of affairs of the Company or any of its Significant
     Subsidiaries, and such judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and
     in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (ii) any bankruptcy or
     insolvency petition or application is filed, or any bankruptcy or
     insolvency proceeding is commenced, against the Company or any of its
     Significant Subsidiaries and such petition, application or proceeding is
     not dismissed within 60 days; or (iii) a warrant of attachment is issued
     against any material portion of the property of the Company or any of its
     Significant Subsidiaries which is not released within 60 days of service;
     or

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

     A Default under clause (4) above is not an Event of Default until the
Trustee or the Holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series notify the Company of the
Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt
of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied
and state that the notice is a "NOTICE OF DEFAULT." When a Default under clause
(4) above is cured within such 60-day period, it ceases to be a Default.

     Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series (other than an Event
of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 5.01) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of
at least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee,
may declare the unpaid principal of and accrued interest to the date of
acceleration (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of that series) on all the Outstanding Securities of that series to be due
and payable immediately and, upon any such declaration, the Outstanding
Securities of that series (or specified principal amount) shall become and be
immediately due and payable.

     If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 5.01
occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding
Securities of that series (or specified principal amount) 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 of any Security of that series.

     Upon payment of all such principal and interest, all of the Company's
obligations under the Securities of that series and (upon payment of the
Securities of all series) this Indenture shall terminate, except obligations
under Section 6.07.

     At any time after a declaration of acceleration of Maturity with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this


                                      -27-

<PAGE>

Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default, other
than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Securities of that
series that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived, (ii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful,
interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal that has
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration have been paid,
(iii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court
of competent jurisdiction and (iv) all payments due to the Trustee and any
predecessor Trustee under Section 6.07 have been made.

     Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

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

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

         (3) default is made in the payment of any sinking or analogous
     obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of the Securities of any
     series, and any such default continues for any period of grace provided
     with respect to the Securities of such series,

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 premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on 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 final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed 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 Securities of any series occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to secure any other proper remedy.

     Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of
any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
the Company 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,

         (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and
     premium, if any) 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 the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
     reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
     Trustee, its agent and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial
     proceedings, and

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

         (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
     custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
     similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
     each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
     Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
     Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
     compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
     agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section
     6.07.

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

     Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any
such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision
for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered.

     Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of the Securities of any series
shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal,
premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities in respect of
which moneys have been collected and the notation thereon of the payment if only
partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

         First:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section
     6.07 applicable to such series;

         Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal
     of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series in
     respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected,
     ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
     amounts due and payable on such Securities of such series for principal,
     and premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

         Third:  To the Company.

     The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Section 5.06. At least ten (10) days before such record
date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states
the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

     Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series
shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or
for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

         (2) the Holders of at least twenty-five percent in principal amount of
     the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request
     to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default
     in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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


                                      -29-

<PAGE>

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

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

     Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture but subject
to Article 14, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is
absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the Stated
Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of
any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Holder.

     Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any
Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in
every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been
instituted.

     Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities 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.

     Section 5.12 Control by Holders. 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:

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

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

          (3) subject to Section 6.01, the Trustee need not take any action
     which might involve the Trustee in personal liability or be unduly
     prejudicial to the Holders not joining therein.

     Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may by
written notice to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of
such series waive any Default or Event of Default with respect to such series
and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default:


                                      -30-

<PAGE>

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

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

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

     Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Holder of any Security 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, 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 ten percent 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 premium, if any, or interest on any Security on
or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                   THE TRUSTEE

     Section 6.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee.

         (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee's
duties and responsibilities under this Indenture shall be governed by Section
315(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

         (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in
it by this Indenture, and shall 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.

         (c) None of the provisions of Section 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act
shall be excluded from this Indenture.

         (d) Every provision of this Indenture which pertains to the Trustee
shall be subject to this Section 6.01.

     Section 6.02 Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series, the
Trustee shall give to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names
and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such Default or Event
of Default known to the Trustee, unless such Default or Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a
Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series. The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default unless a Responsible
Officer assigned to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge of the Default. The second sentence of this Section shall be in lieu
of the proviso to Trust Indenture Act Section 315(b). Said proviso is hereby
expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 6.03 Certain Rights of Trustee.  Subject to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act:


                                      -31-

<PAGE>

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

         (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be
     sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any
     resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
     Board Resolution;

         (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall
     deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
     suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other
     evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad
     faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

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

         (e) 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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall
     have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
     costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
     with such request or direction;

         (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
     Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events
     of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make
     any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
     certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
     direction, consent, order, approval or other paper or document, or the
     books and records of the Company, unless requested in writing to do so by
     the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
     of any series; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
     time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
     incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion
     of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded
     to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable
     indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so
     proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be
     paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the
     Company upon demand;

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

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

         (i) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
     to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified,
     are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its
     capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person
     employed to act hereunder.

     Section 6.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The
recitals herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee
represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture,
authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder, and that the
statements made by it or to be made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and
Qualification on Form

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

     Section 6.05 May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent,
any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

     Section 6.06 Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust
hereunder (including amounts held by the Trustee as Paying Agent) need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder
except as otherwise agreed upon in writing with the Company.

     Section 6.07 Compensation and Reimbursement.   The Company agrees:

         (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation as
     negotiated between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by
     it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of
     law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

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

         (3) to indemnify the Trustee, its officers, employees, directors and
     shareholders for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability,
     damage, claim or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon or
     determined or measured by the income of the Trustee), incurred without
     negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with
     the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
     including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
     liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
     powers or duties hereunder.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6) or Section 5.01(7), 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 Bankruptcy Law.

     The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

     Section 6.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. The Trustee shall be
disqualified only where such disqualification is required by Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act. Nothing shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the
Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 6.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all
times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under
Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act having a combined capital and
surplus (together with its parent) of at least $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or State authority. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company
may serve as Trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

     Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

         (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

         (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities
of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.

         (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to
the Company.

         (d) If at any time:


             (i)   the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the
         Trust Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Company or by
         any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
         six months; or

             (ii)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and
         shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or
         by any such Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
         Security for at least six months; or

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

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

         (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more
or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series
and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with
respect to such Securities. If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the
Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.


                                      -34-

<PAGE>

         (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal
of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing
written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all
Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate
Trust Office.

     Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

         (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

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

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

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

     Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor (by merger,
conversion, consolidation or otherwise as permitted hereunder) to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities.

                                      -35-

<PAGE>

     Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee
shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any
creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated therein.

     Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of
the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating
Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of, and subject to the direction of, the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus (together with its parent) of not less
than $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or State
authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of
such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will
serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

     The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation as negotiated between the Company and such
Authenticating Agent for its services under this Section.

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

                         Form of Authenticating Agent's
                          Certificate of Authentication

with all U.S. Federal income tax information reporting and withholding

                                    ARTICLE 7
                HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

     Section 7.01 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The
Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

         (a) semi-annually, not later than 15 days after the Regular Record Date
     for each series of Securities, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
     reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities
     as of such Regular Record Date (unless the Trustee has such information),
     or if there is no Regular Record Date for interest for such series of
     Securities, semi-annually, upon such dates as are set forth in the Board
     Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto authorizing such series, 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;

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee is the Security Registrar, no
such list shall be required to be furnished.

     Section 7.02 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

         (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent
list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and
addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security
Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in
Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

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

           (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the
     time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a); or

          (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders
     whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time
     by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a), and as to the

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

     approximate cost of mailing to such Holders 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 Holder whose name and address appears in the information preserved
at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.02(a) 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 Commission, 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
or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify
the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, 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, the Commission shall find,
after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all objections so sustained have
been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of
such material to all such Holders 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) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee
nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders
in accordance with Section 7.02(b), 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 Section 7.02(b).

     Section 7.03 Reports by Trustee.

         (a) Within 60 days after ______ of each year commencing with the year
200_, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities as
provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, a brief report dated as

Indenture Act. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act.

         (b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission
to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange or inter-dealer

with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when any Securities are
listed on any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system.

     regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the
     Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or,
     if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports
     pursuant to either of said Sections, then it shall file with the Trustee
     and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed
     from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic

     provided under this Indenture. Such certificate need not comply with
     Section 1.02.

     to which all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company

     United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia
     and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed

the Company is merged or the successor corporation or entity or affiliated group
of corporations or entities to which such lease, sale, assignment or transfer is
made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor corporation or corporations or entity or entities had been named as
the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the

of all obligations


                                      -39-

         (5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture,
     provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only

     of such provision; or

         (6) to secure the Securities; or

         (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
     permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01; or

         (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder

         (10) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the
     interests of the Holders of Securities of any series then Outstanding; or

         (11) to add Guarantees with respect to any or all of the Securities; or

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

the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in (and subject to the last sentence of)
Section 9.03, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any

     Section 9.02 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the
written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture (with the Securities of each series voting as a class), by Act of said
Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized
by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.03, enter

Outstanding Security affected thereby,

         (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, if any,
     or any installment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, any
     Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest
     thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption, repurchase or repayment
     thereof, or change the manner in which the amount of any principal thereof
     or premium, if any, or interest thereon is determined, or reduce the amount
     of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due
     and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof
     pursuant to Section 5.02, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin
     or currency or currency unit in which, any Security or any premium or
     interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
     enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
     (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

         (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
     Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any
     such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required
     for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
     Defaults or Events of Default hereunder and their consequences provided for
     in this Indenture; or

         (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or
     Section 10.06, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that
     certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived
     without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
     thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require
     the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "the
     Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section and Section 10.06, or the
     deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections
     6.11(b) and 9.01(8).

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

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

     Section 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. The Trustee shall sign
any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article, subject to the
last sentence of this Section 9.03. In executing, or accepting the additional
trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the

be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     Section 9.04 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in
accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or

     Section 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental

<PAGE>

Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered
after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may,
and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the
Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

     Section 9.07 Subordination Unimpaired. This Indenture may not be amended to

affected thereby.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                                   COVENANTS

     Section 10.01 Payments of Securities. With respect to each series of
Securities, the Company will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such Securities in accordance with their terms
and this Indenture, and will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements
and conditions contained in, or made in the Indenture for the benefit of, the
Securities of such series.

     Section 10.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain an
office or agency in each Place of Payment where Securities may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment, where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in location, of such office or agency.
If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or
agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
address of the Trustee as set forth in Section 1.05 hereof.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

     Section 10.03 Compliance Certificates.

         (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 90 days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company (which fiscal year currently ends on
February 28 (29)), an Officers' Certificate stating whether or not the signer
knows of any Default or Event of Default by the Company that occurred prior to
the end of the fiscal year and is then continuing. If the signer does know of
such a Default or Event of Default, the certificate shall describe each such
Default or Event of Default and its status and the specific section or sections
of this Indenture in connection with which such Default or Event of Default has
occurred. The Company shall also promptly notify the Trustee in writing should
the Company's fiscal year be changed so that the end thereof is on any date
other than the date on which the Company's fiscal year currently ends. The
certificate need not comply with Section 1.02 hereof, but shall comply with
Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act.

         (b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 10 days after the
occurrence thereof, notice of any acceleration which with the giving of notice
and the lapse of time would be an Event of Default within the meaning of Section
5.01(5) hereof.

         (c) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee forthwith upon becoming
aware of a Default or Event of Default (but in no event later than 10 days after
the occurrence of each Default or Event of Default that is continuing), an
Officers' Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of
Default and the action that the Company proposes to take with respect thereto
and the specific section or sections of this Indenture in connection with which
such Default or Event of Default has occurred.

     Section 10.04 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will actively
resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law, which would prohibit or
forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of and/or
interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law,
and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

     Section 10.05 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the
Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series
of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming
due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so
to act.

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for one year
after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and
payable shall, subject to any applicable escheat laws, be paid to the Company on
Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however,
that the Trustee of such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a
newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each
Business Day and of general circulation in New York, New York, notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall

                                      -43-

not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

     Section 10.06 Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in
Article 8, Article 10 (other than Sections __ or __) or any covenant specified
as contemplated under Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series
if before the time for such compliance the Holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act
of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver
shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent
so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such
term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     Section 11.01 Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are
redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with
their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

     Section 11.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the
Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In
case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the
Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 30 and not more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption
Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In
the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

     Section 11.03 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less
than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected prior to the giving of the
applicable notice of redemption to Holders by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, substantially
pro rata, by lot or by any other method as the Trustee considers fair and
appropriate and that complies with the requirements of the principal national
securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed, and which may
provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination
larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series;
provided that in case the Securities of such series have different terms and
maturities, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company and
the Company shall give notice thereof to the Trustee.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

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

     Section 11.04 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at
his address appearing in the Security Register.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

          (1) the Redemption Date;

                                      -44-

<PAGE>

          (2) the Redemption Price;

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

          (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
     and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that
     interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

          (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered
     for payment of the Redemption Price;

          (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;
     and

          (7) the CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed.

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

     Section 11.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if
the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.05) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date)
accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

     Unless any Security by its terms prohibits any sinking fund payment
obligation from being satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities
(including Securities redeemed otherwise than through a sinking fund), the
Company may deliver such Securities to the Trustee for crediting against such
payment obligation in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this
Indenture.

     Section 11.06 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption
having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein
specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall
cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in
accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the
Security.

     Section 11.07 Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be
redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Company
at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service
charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and Stated Maturity, of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered.

                                  SINKING FUNDS

     Section 12.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article
shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a
series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for
Securities of such series.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "MANDATORY SINKING FUND
PAYMENT," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Securities of any 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 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption
of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such
series.

     Section 12.02 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The
Company (1) may deliver Securities of a series (other than any Securities
previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a
series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant
to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in
satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such
Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

     Section 12.03 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 45
days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) 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 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 Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.02 and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered (which have not been
previously delivered). Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund
payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such
sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 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 11.04. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     Section 13.01 Applicability of Article; Company's Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Unless as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, provision is made for the
inapplicability of, in whole or in part, or any modification to, either or both
of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 13.02 or (b)
covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 13.03, then the
provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the
other provisions of this Article, shall be applicable to the Securities of such
series and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with
respect to the Securities of such series elect to have either Section 13.02
(unless inapplicable) or Section 13.03 (unless inapplicable) be applied to the
Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the applicable
conditions set forth below in this Article.

     Section 13.02 Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's exercise of the
option provided in Section 13.01 to defease the Outstanding Securities of a
particular series, the Company shall be discharged from its obligations with
respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the date the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "DEFEASANCE").
Defeasance shall mean that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of
such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same); provided, however, that the following rights,
obligations, powers, trusts, duties and immunities shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged


                                      -46-

hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series to
receive, solely from the trust fund provided for in Section 13.04, payments in
respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such
Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations with
respect to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.05, (C)
the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and
(D) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may
exercise its option with respect to defeasance under this Section 13.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option with respect to covenant
defeasance under Section 13.03 in regard to the Securities of such series.

     Section 13.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise of the
option provided in Section 13.01 to obtain a covenant defeasance with respect to
the Outstanding Securities of a particular series, the Company shall be released
from its obligations under this Indenture and any applicable supplemental
indenture (except its obligations under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 5.06, 5.09,
6.10, 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.05) with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such series on and after the date the applicable conditions set
forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "COVENANT DEFEASANCE").
Covenant defeasance shall mean that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities
of such series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability
in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in this Indenture and
any applicable supplemental indenture (except its obligations under Sections
3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 5.06, 5.09, 6.10, 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.05),
whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein or by
reason of any reference to any other provision herein or in any other document,
and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default under
Section 5.01(4) or any such supplemental indenture with respect to Outstanding
Securities of such series, and the remainder of this Indenture and of the
Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby.

     Section 13.04 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The
following shall be the conditions to defeasance under Section 13.02 and covenant
defeasance under Section 13.03 with respect to the Outstanding Securities of a
particular series:

         (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
     deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
     of Section 6.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this
     Article applicable to it), under the terms of an irrevocable trust
     agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee, as
     trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
     specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
     of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S.
     Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and
     interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide,
     not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a
     combination thereof, in each case sufficient, after payment of all federal,
     state and local taxes or other charges or assessments in respect thereof
     payable by the Trustee, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
     independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
     delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied
     by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the
     principal of (and premium, if any, on) and each installment of principal of
     (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such
     series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal
     or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous
     payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the day
     on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of
     this Indenture and of such Securities.

         (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
     such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
     deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit.

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

         (4) In the case of an election with respect to Section 13.02, the
     Company shall have delivered to the Trustee either (a) a ruling directed to
     the Trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that
     the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize
     income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
     defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts,
     in the same manner


                                      -47-

<PAGE>

     and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had
     not occurred or (B) an Opinion of Counsel, based on such ruling or on a
     change in the applicable federal income tax law since the date of this
     Indenture, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such
     opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of
     such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
     purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal
     income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as
     would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

         (5) the case of an election with respect to Section 13.03, the Company
     shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a ruling
     directed to the Trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to the
     effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will
     not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
     result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income
     tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
     have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

         (6) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in
     compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may
     be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01.

         (7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
     precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section
     13.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 13.03 (as the case may be)
     have been complied with.

     Section 13.05 Deposited Money and Government Obligations To Be Held in
Trust. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.05, all
money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with
the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 13.05, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of the
Outstanding Securities of a particular series shall be held in trust and applied
by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof, other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is
for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

     Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money
or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 with respect
to Securities of any series which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which
would then be required to be deposited for the purpose for which such money or
Government Obligations were deposited.

     Section 13.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, in
accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this
Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 13.02 or 13.03 shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such
Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all money or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, held in trust
pursuant to Section 13.05 with respect to such Securities in accordance with
this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of
principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
(if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money or U.S. Government Obligations, as the case may be, so held in trust.

                                  SUBORDINATION

     Section 14.01 Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt. Except as otherwise
specified or contemplated by Section 3.01 or the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of a Security, by
his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and
in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the payment of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each and all of the Securities
are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. The terms of this Article 14 may be
modified or amended for any series of Securities as contemplated by Section
3.01.

     Section 14.02 Payment over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, Etc. In the event
of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection
therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors or to its assets, or (b)
any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy,
or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of
assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event specified in
(a), (b) or (c) above (each such event, if any, a "PROCEEDING") the holders of
Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or
to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall be made
for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the holders of the Securities
are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, on account of principal of or premium,
if any, or interest on the Securities or on account of any purchase or other
acquisition of Securities by the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company (all
such payments, distributions, purchases and acquisitions herein referred to,
individually and collectively, as a "SECURITIES PAYMENT"), and to that end the
holders of all Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to the
payment thereof, any Securities Payment which may be payable or deliverable in
respect of the Securities in any such Proceeding.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Trustee or the holder of any Security shall have received any
Securities Payment before all Senior Debt is paid in full or payment thereof
provided for in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory
to the holders of Senior Debt, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time
of such Securities Payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case
may be, such holder, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be
paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment
or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all
Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in
full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for
the holders of Senior Debt.

     For purposes of this Article only, the words "any payment or distribution
of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities" shall not be
deemed to include a payment or distribution of stock or securities of the
Company provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment authorized by
an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in a reorganization
proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or of any other corporation
provided for by such plan of reorganization or readjustment which stock or
securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding Senior
Debt to substantially the same extent as the Securities are so subordinated as
provided in this Article. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger
of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company following the conveyance, transfer, sale or lease of all or
substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person upon the terms
and conditions set forth in Article 8 shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the
purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance,
transfer, sale or lease such properties and assets, as the case may be, shall,
as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease
comply with the conditions set forth in Article 8.

     Section 14.03 No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. In the event that any
series of Securities are declared due and payable before their maturity, then
and in such event the holders of the Senior Debt outstanding at the time such
series of Securities so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive
payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all
Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment in cash or cash
equivalents

                                      -49-

<PAGE>

or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such Senior
Debt, before the holders of the Securities of such series are entitled to
receive any Securities Payment.

     In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of
principal or of premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Debt beyond any
applicable grace period with respect thereto, or in the event that any event of
default with respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing
permitting the holders of such Senior Debt (or a trustee, or other
representative on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Senior Debt due
and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and
payable, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived
or shall have ceased to exist and any such acceleration shall have been
rescinded or annulled, or in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending
with respect to any such default in payment or event of default, then no
Securities Payment shall be made.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make
any Securities Payment to the Trustee or any holder prohibited by the foregoing
provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of
such Securities Payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may
be, such holder, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be paid
over and delivered forthwith to the Company.

     The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Securities Payment
with respect to which Section 14.02 would be applicable.

     Section 14.04 Payment Permitted If No Default. Nothing contained in this
Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent
(a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any Proceeding
referred to in Section 14.02 or under the conditions described in Section 14.03,
from making Securities Payments, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any
money deposited with it hereunder to Securities Payments or the retention of
such Securities Payment by the holders, if at the time of such application by
the Trustee, it did not have actual knowledge that such Securities Payment would
have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article.

     Section 14.05 Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. Subject to
the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of
Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or
otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, the holders of
the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior
Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities
applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of
any cash, property or securities to which the holders of the Securities or the
Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no
payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of
Senior Debt by holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on
account of the Senior Debt.

     Section 14.06 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions
of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on
the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture
or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company,
its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the holders of the
Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional
(and which, subject to the rights under this Article of the holders of Senior
Debt, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the
Company), to pay to the holders of the Securities the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights
against the Company of the holders of the Securities and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the
holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any,
under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and
securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such holder.

     Section 14.07 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each holder of a
Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     Section 14.08 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of any
present or future holder of any Senior Debt 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 any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

     Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the
holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, without
incurring responsibility to the holders of the Securities and without impairing
or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations
hereunder of the holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, 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, Senior Debt, or otherwise
amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the
same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner
for the collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights against the Company and any other Person.

     Section 14.09 Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in
respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of
Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor or representative thereof; and, prior
to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee 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
one full Business Day 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 and premium, if any, or interest on any Security), then,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the
purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary which may be received by it within one full Business Day
prior to such date.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself
to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor or representative thereof)
to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a
trustee therefor or representative thereof). 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 Senior Debt to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior Debt 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, and if such evidence is not
furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial
determination as to the rights of such Person to receive such payment.

     Section 14.10 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, and the
holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating
trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders
of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt 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.

     Section 14.11 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt. The Trustee
shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and
shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay
over or distribute to holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other
Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. The Trustee shall not be


                                      -51-

<PAGE>

charged with knowledge of the existence of Senior Debt or of any facts that
would prohibit any payment hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
shall have received notice to that effect at the address of the Trustee set
forth in Section 1.05. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee
undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as
are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee.

     Section 14.12 Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of
Trustee's Rights. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to
all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt which
may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its
rights as such holder.

     Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07.

     Section 14.13 Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any
paying agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and
be then acting hereunder, the term "TRUSTEE" as used in this Article shall in
such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to
and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and
purposes as if such paying agent were named in this Article in addition to or in
place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Sections 14.09 and 14.12 shall not
apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate
acts as Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                                   GUARANTEES

     Section 15.01 Guarantee. Any series of Securities may be guaranteed by one
or more of the Guarantors. The terms and the form of any such Guarantee will be
established in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01 for that particular
series of Securities.
