Series 2001-1 Investor Note on the Series 2001-1 Initial Funding Date or to
increase its Purchaser Invested Amount on any Increase Date hereunder unless:

                  (i) in the case of the Series 2001-1 Initial Funding Date, the
         Series 2001-1 Initial Invested Amount is at least $1,000,000 for each
         Purchaser;

                  (ii) in the case of any Increase Date, the Increase Amount is

         occurred and be continuing; and

                  (vi) all of the representations and warranties made by each of
         the Issuer, the Seller, the Collection Agent and Dunlop in each

thereof not funded by the CP Conduit Purchaser, each such APA Bank shall pay in
immediately available funds its APA Bank Percentage of such portion on the

"DECREASE") on any Reporting Date during the Revolving Period, in the case of
any Decrease in an amount less than $50,000,000 or, on the second Business Day
following any Reporting Date during the Revolving Period, in the case of any

distributing to the Administrative Agent funds on deposit in the Series 2001-1
Principal Collection Subaccount on such day in accordance with SECTION 5A.6(d)
in an amount not to exceed the amount of such funds available on such day in the
Series 2001-1 Principal Collection Subaccount; provided that the Collection
Agent shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Indenture
Trustee) irrevocable written notice (effective upon receipt) of the amount of
such Decrease prior to 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day

than $50,000,000, and prior to 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day
that is at least five Business Days prior to such Reporting Date, in the case of
any such Decrease in an amount of $50,000,000 or more; provided, further, that
any such Decrease shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon each Decrease, the Administrative
Agent shall indicate in its records such Decrease and the Purchaser Invested
Amount outstanding with respect to each Purchaser, after giving effect to such
Decrease. Upon receipt of any notice required by SECTION 2.5(a) from the Issuer,
the Administrative Agent shall forward (by telecopy or electronic messaging
system) a copy of such notice to the Funding Agent with respect to each
Purchaser, no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day received.

                                       23


         (b) On any Business Day, the Issuer shall have the right to deliver an
irrevocable written notice (an "OPTIONAL TERMINATION NOTICE") to the
Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Collection Agent in which
the Issuer declares that the Commitments shall terminate on the date (the
"OPTIONAL TERMINATION DATE") set forth in such notice (which date, in any event,
shall be a Payment Date not less than twenty Business Days from the date on
which such notice is delivered). Upon receipt of any Optional Termination Notice
from the Issuer, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Funding
Agent with respect to each Purchaser thereof. From and after the Optional
Termination Date, the Amortization Period shall commence for all purposes under
this Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction Documents.

         SECTION 2.6. INCREASES AND REDUCTIONS OF THE COMMITMENTS; EXTENSIONS OF
THE COMMITMENTS.

         (a) The Issuer may from time to time request that any Purchaser agree
to increase its Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount. An increase in any Maximum
Purchaser Invested Amount shall be effective hereunder if such Purchaser shall
have agreed to such increase in its Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount.

         (b) If the Issuer desires to extend the Scheduled Expiry Date with
respect to the Purchasers, the Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent no
more than four months prior to such Scheduled Expiry Date of its desire to
extend the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to the Purchasers, whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Funding Agent with respect to each
Purchaser of the Issuer's desire to so extend the Scheduled Expiry Date. Each
Funding Agent, on behalf of its Purchaser, shall notify the Administrative Agent
and the Issuer in writing of whether such Purchaser agrees to an extension of
the Scheduled Expiry Date with respect to such Purchaser within thirty days of
the receipt of the request for extension; provided that failure by a Funding
Agent to respond to such request shall not be construed as a consent by such
Purchaser to such extension. The decision to extend or not extend shall be made
by each Purchaser in its sole discretion. In the event that any Purchaser
desires to extend its Scheduled Expiry Date for an amount that is less than its
Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount prior to the Issuer's request for an
extension, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may accept such extension;
provided, however, that such Purchaser (x) shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending
Purchaser for purposes of SECTION 5A.6(d) having a Purchaser Invested Amount
equal to the excess of (A) its Purchaser Invested Amount over (B) a percentage
of its Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount that will be available after the
extension of its Scheduled Expiry Date equal to the percentage equivalent of a
fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Purchaser Invested Amounts
with respect to all Extending Purchasers, other than such Purchaser and any
other Purchaser reducing its Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount, and the
denominator of which is the sum of the Maximum Purchaser Invested Amounts of all
Extending Purchasers, other than such Purchaser and any other Purchaser reducing
its Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount, and (y) shall be deemed to be an
Extending Purchaser with a Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount equal to the
portion of its Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount that will be available after
the extension of its Scheduled Expiry Date.

         (c) On any Business Day during the Revolving Period, the Issuer may,
upon two (2) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent
(effective upon receipt)


<PAGE>   28
                                       24


(with copies to the Collection Agent and the Indenture Trustee) reduce the
Series 2001-1 Maximum Invested Amount in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; PROVIDED that no such
termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and
to any reduction in the Series 2001-1 Invested Amount on such date, the
Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to any Purchaser would exceed the Maximum
Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser then in effect. Any
reduction in the Series 2001-1 Maximum Invested Amount shall be made on a pro
rata basis to the Maximum Purchaser Invested Amounts with respect to the
Purchasers, based on the Maximum Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to each
Purchaser. Once reduced, the Maximum Purchaser Invested Amounts may not be
subsequently reinstated.

         (d) If, after receiving a request for extension of its Scheduled Expiry
Date from the Issuer pursuant to SECTION 2.6(b), the Funding Agent with respect
to a CP Conduit Purchaser notifies the Issuer in writing of its decision not to
extend its Scheduled Expiry Date as requested or fails to respond to the
Issuer's request within 30 days of its receipt of such request, at the request
of the Issuer, such CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA Banks with respect to such
CP Conduit Purchaser shall assign all or any portion of their respective rights
and obligations under this Indenture Supplement and the Series 2001-1 Notes
pursuant to SECTION 11.10(e) to a replacement CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA
Banks with respect to such replacement CP Conduit Purchaser selected by the
Issuer upon payment by the replacement CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA Banks
with respect to such replacement CP Conduit Purchaser of the Purchaser Invested
Amount with respect such Non-Extending Purchaser (or the applicable portion
thereof) plus any accrued interest and fees thereon and any other amounts owed
to such Non-Extending Purchaser hereunder (the "PURCHASE PRICE"). The Purchase
Price with respect to any Non-Extending Purchaser shall be equivalent to the
Series 2001-1 Prepayment Amount with respect to such Purchaser (or the
applicable portion thereof), calculated as if the date of the assignment to the
replacement CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA Banks with respect to such CP
Conduit Purchaser were the Prepayment Date.

         (e) The Issuer may at any time add a multi-seller commercial paper
conduit as an additional CP Conduit Purchaser (an "ADDITIONAL CP CONDUIT
PURCHASER") and one or more banks providing support to the Additional CP Conduit
Purchaser as APA Banks with respect to the Additional CP Conduit Purchaser (the
"RELATED ADDITIONAL APA BANKS"), with the prior written consent of the

recourse for Receivables which are not collected, not paid or uncollectible on
account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, inability to pay or lack of
creditworthiness of the applicable Obligor or (C) includes Excluded Taxes.

         SECTION 2.9. FUNDING AGENTS.

such Purchaser and the aggregate amount of Discount accruing with respect
thereto on such Business Day and the APA Bank Funded Amount with respect to such
Purchaser and the amount of interest accruing with respect thereto on such

Shortfall) OVER (ii) the amount which will be available to be distributed to the

         SECTION 7.1. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Purchaser to make or maintain
any portion of the Purchaser Invested Amount with respect to such Purchaser
allocated to a Eurodollar Tranche and such Purchaser shall notify in writing the
Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser, the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, then the portion of such Purchaser Invested

<PAGE>   44
                                       40


which is not the last day of the Eurodollar Period with respect to any
Eurodollar Tranche, the Issuer shall pay to such Purchaser the amounts, if any,
as may be required pursuant to SECTION 7.4.

         SECTION 7.2. INCREASED COSTS.

         (a) If any Change in Law (except with respect to Taxes which shall be
governed by SECTION 7.3) shall:

                  (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
         deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
         the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party (except any
         such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

                  (ii) impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank
         market any other condition affecting the Transaction Documents or the
         funding of Eurodollar Tranches by such Affected Party;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Affected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar
Tranches (or maintaining its obligation to do so) or to reduce any amount
received or receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or in connection
herewith (whether principal, interest or otherwise), then the Issuer will pay to
such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

         (b) If any Affected Party reasonably determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Affected Party's capital or the capital of any corporation
controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to
a level below that which such Affected Party or such corporation could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected
Party's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time, the Issuer shall pay to such Affected Party such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for any such reduction
suffered.

         (c) A certificate of an Affected Party setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party as specified in subsections
(a) and (b) of this SECTION 7.2 shall be delivered to the Issuer (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to such Affected
Party) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this
Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture Supplement and the Base
Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

         (d) Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Party to demand
compensation pursuant to this SECTION 7.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such
Affected Party's right to demand such compensation; PROVIDED that the Issuer
shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section
7.2 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 30 days prior to
the date that such Affected Party notifies the Issuer of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party's
intention to claim compensation therefor.

         SECTION 7.3. TAXES.

         (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Issuer hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; PROVIDED that if the Issuer shall be required
to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i)
subject to SECTION 7.3(c) below, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this SECTION 7.3) the recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum that it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Issuer shall make such deductions and (iii) the Issuer shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

         (b) In addition, the Issuer shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

         (c) The Issuer shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Funding
Agent, each Program Support Provider and each Purchaser within the later of 10
days after written demand therefor and the Payment Date next following such
demand for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such
Purchaser on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation
of the Issuer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this SECTION 7.3) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; PROVIDED that no Person shall
be indemnified pursuant to this SECTION 7.3(c) or required to pay additional
amounts under the proviso of SECTION 7.3(a) to the extent that the reason for
such indemnification results from the failure by such Person to comply with the
provisions of SECTION 7.3(e) (g) or (h). A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by the Administrative Agent, any
Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any Purchaser shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Any payments made by the Issuer pursuant to this SECTION
7.3 shall be made solely from funds available therefor pursuant to SECTION 5A.4
and from any other funds otherwise payable to the Issuer pursuant to the Base
Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, shall be non-recourse other than with
respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer to
the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture Supplement and the
Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

         (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Issuer to a Governmental Authority, the Issuer shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

         (e) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Purchaser and
each Program Support Provider, if entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax with respect to payments made under this
Indenture Supplement and the Base


<PAGE>   46
                                       42


Indenture shall (to the extent legally able to do so) deliver to the Issuer
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the
Issuer on the later of (i) 20 Business Days after such request is made and the
applicable forms are provided to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent,
such Purchaser or such Program Support Provider or (ii) 20 Business Days before
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or with an exemption from or reduction of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes.

         (f) If the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support
Provider or any Purchaser receives a refund solely in respect of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, it shall pay over such refund to the Issuer to the extent
that it has already received indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant
to this SECTION 7.3 with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to the refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest
(other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Issuer shall, upon request of the
Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such
Purchaser, repay such refund (plus interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Funding
Agent, such Program Support Provider or such Purchaser if the Administrative
Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such Purchaser is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained
herein shall require the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program
Support Provider or any Purchaser to make its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) available to the
Issuer or any other Person.

         (g) If any Purchaser is an entity that is not incorporated or organized
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the
District of Columbia, such Purchaser shall:

                  (i) upon or prior to becoming a party to any Transaction
         Document, deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent two duly
         completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or successor
         applicable forms, as the case may be;

                  (ii) deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent two
         (2) further copies of any such form or certification on or before the
         date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete
         and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
         recent form previously delivered by it to the Issuer; and

                  (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing
         such forms or certifications as may be reasonably be requested by the
         Issuer and the Administrative Agent;

unless, in any such case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred
after the Series 2001-1 Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Purchaser
becomes a party to any Transaction Document) and prior to the date on which any
such delivery would otherwise be required which renders the relevant form
inapplicable or which would prevent such Purchaser from duly


<PAGE>   47
                                       43


completing and delivering the relevant form with respect to it, and such
Purchaser so advises the Issuer and the Administrative Agent.

         (h) If a beneficial or equity owner of a Purchaser (instead of the
Purchaser itself) is required under United States federal income tax law or the
terms of a relevant treaty to provide IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI or any
successor applicable forms, as the case may be, in order to claim an exemption
from withholding of United Stated federal income taxes or backup withholding
taxes, then each such beneficial owner or equity owner shall be considered to be
a Purchaser for purposes of SECTION 7.3 (g).

         SECTION 7.4. BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS. The Issuer agrees to indemnify
each Purchaser and to hold each Purchaser harmless from any loss or expense
which such Purchaser may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the
Issuer in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a CP Tranche
or a Eurodollar Tranche after the Issuer has given irrevocable notice requesting
the same in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture Supplement, or (b)
default by the Issuer in making any prepayment in connection with a Decrease
after the Issuer has given irrevocable notice thereof in accordance with the
provisions of SECTION 2.5 or (c) the making of a prepayment of a CP Tranche or a
Eurodollar Tranche (including, without limitation, any Decrease) prior to the
termination of the CP Rate Period for such CP Tranche or the Eurodollar Period
for such Eurodollar Tranche, as the case may be. Such indemnification shall
include an amount determined by the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser
and shall equal either (x) the excess, if any, of (i) such Purchaser's cost of
funding the amount so prepaid or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for
the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow,
convert or continue to the last day of the CP Rate Period or the Eurodollar
Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the CP Rate
Period or the Eurodollar Period that would have commenced on the date of such
prepayment or of such failure), as the case may be, over (ii) the amount of
interest earned by such Purchaser upon redeployment of an amount of funds equal
to the amount prepaid or not borrowed, converted or continued for a comparable
period or (y) if such Purchaser is able to terminate the funding source before
its scheduled maturity, any costs associated with such termination; provided
that any payments made by the Issuer pursuant to this subsection shall be made
solely from funds available therefor pursuant to SECTION 5A.4 and from any other
funds otherwise payable to the Issuer pursuant to the Base Indenture or any
Indenture Supplement, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such
funds, and shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer to the extent that
such funds are insufficient to make such payment. This covenant shall survive
the termination of this Indenture Supplement and the Base Indenture and the
payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any
Funding Agent on behalf of a Purchaser to the Issuer shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

         SECTION 7.5. ALTERNATE RATE OF INTEREST. If prior to the commencement
of any Eurodollar Period:

         (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period, or


<PAGE>   48
                                       44


         (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any Purchaser that the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Purchaser of making or maintaining the Eurodollar
Tranches during such Eurodollar Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, whereupon until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Available APA Bank
Funding Amount with respect to any Purchaser (in the case of clause (a) above)
or with respect to such Purchaser (in the case of clause (b) above) shall not be
allocated to any Eurodollar Tranche.

         SECTION 7.6. MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS. If an Affected Party requests
compensation under SECTION 7.2, or if the Issuer is required to pay any
additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Purchaser pursuant to SECTION 7.3, then, upon written notice from the
Issuer, such Affected Party or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, which
pays a price for such assignment which is acceptable to such Purchaser and its
assignee, in the judgment of such Affected Party or Purchaser, if such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to SECTION 7.2 or 7.3, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not
subject such Affected Party or Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Party or Purchaser. The
Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such
Affected Party or Purchaser in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

the Net Receivables Balance that uses the amounts contained in clause (ii) of

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

         SECTION 10.1. APPOINTMENT. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA
Banks and the Funding Agents hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Administrative Agent as the agent of such Person under this Indenture Supplement
and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture Supplement and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Indenture Supplement, together
with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture Supplement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any CP Conduit
Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Indenture Supplement or otherwise exist against the Administrative
Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall act solely as the agent of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks
and the Funding Agents, and the Administrative Agent does not assume, nor shall
be deemed to have assumed, any obligation or relationship of trust or agency
with or for any such Person.

         SECTION 10.2. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Administrative Agent may
execute any of its duties under this Indenture Supplement by or through agents
or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel (who may be
counsel for the Issuer or the Collection Agent), independent public accountants
and other experts selected by it concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable
care.

         SECTION 10.3. EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Base Indenture or
this Indenture Supplement (x) with the consent or at the request of the
Purchasers or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the CP Conduit
Purchasers, the APA Banks or the Funding Agents for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Issuer, the Collection Agent or any
officer thereof contained in this Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction
Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with, this Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document or
for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Indenture Supplement, any other Transaction Document or the

Seller or Dunlop to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any CP Conduit
Purchaser, any APA

Bank or any Funding Agent to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Indenture Supplement, any other Transaction Document or the Receivables or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Issuer, the Collection Agent,
the Seller or Dunlop.

         SECTION 10.4. RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or the
Collection Agent), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
registered holder of any Series 2001-1 Investor Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer
thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the
Purchasers, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Funding Agents against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture Supplement and the
other Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Series 2001-1
Required Investor Noteholders (unless, in the case of any action relating to the
giving of consent hereunder, the giving of such consent requires the consent of
all Series 2001-1 Investor Noteholders), and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the CP Conduit
Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents.

         SECTION 10.5. NOTICE OF COLLECTION AGENT TERMINATION EVENT OR
TERMINATION EVENT OR POTENTIAL TERMINATION EVENT. The Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination
Event or Potential Termination Event, any Event of Default or Default, any
Purchase Termination Event, any Potential Purchase Termination Event, any
Collection Agent Termination Event or any Potential Collection Agent Termination
Event unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a CP Conduit
Purchaser, an APA Bank, a Funding Agent, the Issuer, the Collection Agent, the
Seller or Dunlop referring to this Indenture Supplement, describing such
Termination Event or Potential Termination Event, Event of Default or Default,
Purchase Termination Event or Potential Purchase Termination Event or Collection
Agent Termination Event or Potential Collection Agent Termination Event and
stating that such notice is a "notice of a Termination Event or Potential
Termination Event," "notice of an Event of Default or Default," "notice of a
Purchase Termination Event or Potential Purchase Termination Event" or "notice
of a Collection Agent Termination Event or Potential Collection Agent
Termination Event", as the case may be. In the event that the Administrative
Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof
to the Funding Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Collection
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
event as shall be reasonably directed by the Series 2001-1 Required Investor
Noteholders, PROVIDED that unless and until the


<PAGE>   57
                                       53


Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of the Purchasers.

         SECTION 10.6. NON-RELIANCE ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER
PURCHASERS. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding
Agents expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the
Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
the Issuer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent to any such Person. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the
APA Banks and the Funding Agents represents to the Administrative Agent that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Issuer, the Collection Agent, the
Seller and Dunlop and made its own decision to enter into this Indenture
Supplement. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding
Agents also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding
Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Indenture Supplement and the other
Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Issuer, the Collection Agent, the Seller
and Dunlop. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required
to be furnished to the Funding Agents by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any CP
Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Issuer, the Collection
Agent, the Seller or Dunlop which may come into the possession of the
Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

         SECTION 10.7. INDEMNIFICATION. Each of the APA Banks and the Funding
Agents agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Issuer and the Collection Agent and without
limiting the obligation of the Issuer and the Collection Agent to do so), from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Indenture
Supplement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with any of the foregoing; PROVIDED that no APA Bank or Funding Agent
shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence
or willful


<PAGE>   58
                                       54


misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all
amounts payable hereunder.

         SECTION 10.8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. The
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Issuer, the Collection
Agent or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any Series 2001-1 Investor Note
held by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction
Documents as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the terms "APA Bank," and "Purchaser" shall include
the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

         SECTION 10.9. RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; SUCCESSOR
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative
Agent at any time by giving 30 days' notice to the Funding Agents, the Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer and the Collection Agent. The Administrative Agent may be
removed at any time by a resolution of the Series 2001-1 Required Investor
Noteholders, removing the Administrative Agent and appointing from among the
Funding Agents a successor administrative agent, which successor administrative
agent shall be approved by the Issuer and the Collection Agent (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld), delivered to the Administrative Agent, the
Indenture Trustee and the Collection Agent. If Chase shall resign as
Administrative Agent under this Indenture Supplement, then the Series 2001-1
Required Investor Noteholders shall promptly appoint a successor administrative
agent from among the Funding Agents, which successor administrative agent shall
be approved by the Issuer and the Collection Agent (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior
to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Funding Agents, the
Issuer and the Collection Agent, a successor agent from among the Funding
Agents. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as
Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring
Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Collection Agent shall assume and perform all of the duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Series 2001-1
Required Investor Noteholders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
Effective upon the appointment of a successor administrative agent, such
successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such
successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and
the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative
Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part
of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Indenture
Supplement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Indenture Supplement.

"Monthly Funding Costs" and "Discount" applicable to such CP Conduit Purchaser
on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper
issued by such Conduit Assignee (rather than such CP Conduit Purchaser), (G) the
defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Indenture Supplement and
the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the
foregoing, and (H) if requested by the Administrative Agent or the agent or
administrative agent with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will
execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent or such agent or administrative agent may
reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment
by any CP Conduit Purchaser to a Conduit Assignee of the Purchaser Invested
Amount with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser shall in any way diminish the
obligations of the APA Bank with respect to such CP Conduit Purchaser under
SECTION 2.3 to fund any Increase. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this
Indenture Supplement, a Conduit Assignee shall not be entitled to receive with
respect to the rights and obligations under this Indenture Supplement assigned
to it pursuant to this Section 11.10(b) any greater Increased Costs than the
assignor CP Conduit Purchaser would have been entitled to receive with respect
to those rights and obligations unless such assignment shall have been made with
the prior written consent of the Issuer.

         (c) Any APA Bank may, in the ordinary course of its business and in
accordance with applicable law, at any time sell all or any part of its rights
and obligations under this Indenture Supplement and the Series 2001-1 Investor
Notes, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer
and the Collection Agent (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), to one or more banks (an "ACQUIRING APA BANK") pursuant to a transfer
supplement, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT F (the "TRANSFER SUPPLEMENT"),
executed by such Acquiring APA Bank, such assigning APA Bank, the Funding Agent
with respect to such APA Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the
Collection Agent and delivered to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no APA Bank shall so sell its rights hereunder if such Acquiring APA
Bank is not an Eligible Assignee.

         (d) Any APA Bank may, in the ordinary course of its business and in
accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more financial
institutions or other entities ("PARTICIPANTS") participations in its APA Bank
Percentage of the Commitment Amount with respect to it and the other APA Banks
included in the related Purchaser, its Series 2001-1 Investor Note and its
rights hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to
such APA Bank and the Participant; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) in the event of
any such sale by an APA Bank to a Participant, (A) such APA Bank's obligations
under this Indenture Supplement shall remain unchanged, (B) such APA Bank shall
remain solely


<PAGE>   63
                                       59


responsible for the performance thereof and (C) the Issuer and the
Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such APA
Bank in connection with its rights and obligations under this Indenture
Supplement and (ii) no APA Bank shall sell any participating interest under
which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any
consent or waiver with respect to, this Indenture Supplement or any Transaction
Document, except to the extent that the approval of such amendment, consent or
waiver otherwise would require the unanimous consent of all APA Banks hereunder.
A Participant shall have the right to receive Increased Costs but only to the
extent that the related selling APA Bank would have had such right absent the
sale of the related participation.

         (e) Any CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA Banks with respect to such CP
Conduit Purchaser may at any time sell all or any part of their respective
rights and obligations under this Indenture Supplement and the Series 2001-1
Investor Notes, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuer and the Collection Agent (in each case, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit and one or
more banks providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (an
"ACQUIRING PURCHASER") pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the
form of EXHIBIT G(the "PURCHASER SUPPLEMENT"), executed by such Acquiring
Purchaser, the Funding Agent with respect to such Acquiring Purchaser (including
the CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA Banks with respect to such Purchaser), such
assigning CP Conduit Purchaser and the APA Banks with respect to such CP Conduit
Purchaser, the Funding Agent with respect to such assigning CP Conduit Purchaser
and APA Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Collection Agent and
delivered to the Administrative Agent.

         (f) The Issuer authorizes each APA Bank to disclose to any Participant
or Acquiring APA Bank (each, a "TRANSFEREE") and any prospective Transferee any
and all financial information in such APA Bank's possession concerning the
Issuer, the Collateral, the Collection Agent and the Transaction Documents which
has been delivered to such APA Bank by the Issuer or the Collection Agent in
connection with such APA Bank's credit evaluation of the Issuer, the Collateral
and the Collection Agent.

         SECTION 11.11. SECURITIES LAWS. Each Purchaser hereby represents and
warrants to the Issuer and the Collection Agent that it is an "accredited
investor" as such term is defined in paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule
501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and has sufficient assets to
bear the economic risk of, and sufficient knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of, its investment in a
Series 2001-1 Investor Note. Each Purchaser agrees that its Series 2001-1
Investor Note will be acquired for investment only and not with a view to any
public distribution thereof, and that such Purchaser will not offer to sell or
otherwise dispose of its Series 2001-1 Investor Note (or any interest therein)
in violation of any of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or
any applicable state or other securities laws. Each Purchaser acknowledges that
it has no right to require the Issuer to register its Series 2001-1 Investor
Note under the Securities Act or any other securities law. Each Purchaser hereby
confirms and agrees that in connection with any transfer by it of an interest in
the Series 2001-1 Investor Note, such Purchaser has not engaged and will not
engage in a general solicitation or general advertising including
advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or


<PAGE>   64
                                       60


broadcast over radio or television, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees
have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

         SECTION 11.12. ADJUSTMENTS; SET-OFF. (a) If any Purchaser (a
"BENEFITTED PURCHASER") shall at any time receive in respect of its Purchaser
Invested Amount any distribution of principal, interest, Unused Fees or any
interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a greater proportion
than any such distribution received by any other Purchaser, if any, in respect
of such other Purchaser's Purchaser Invested Amount, or interest thereon, such
Benefitted Purchaser shall purchase for cash from the other Purchaser such
portion of such other Purchaser's interest in the Series 2001-1 Investor Notes,
or shall provide such other Purchaser with the benefits of any such collateral,
or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted
Purchaser to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds
ratably with the other Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Issuer
agrees that any Purchaser so purchasing a portion of another Purchaser's
Purchaser Invested Amount may exercise all rights of payment (including, without
limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Purchaser were the direct holder of such portion.

         (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchasers provided
by law, each Purchaser shall have the right, without prior notice to the Issuer,
any such notice being expressly waived by the Issuer to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Issuer hereunder
or under the Series 2001-1 Investor Notes to set-off and appropriate and apply
against any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Purchaser to or for the
credit or the account of the Issuer. Each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify
the Issuer and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application
made by such Purchaser; PROVIDED that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application.

         SECTION 11.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture Supplement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

         SECTION 11.14. NO BANKRUPTCY PETITION. (a) Each of the Administrative
Agent, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents hereby
covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after
the later of (i) the last day of the Amortization Period and (ii) the last day
of the amortization period of any other Series of Outstanding Investor Notes ,
it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against,
the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law.

                                       61


                  (b) The Issuer, the Collection Agent, the Indenture Trustee,
the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and each APA Bank hereby covenants
and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by, or for the
benefit of, a CP Conduit Purchaser, it will not institute against, or join any
other Person in instituting against, such CP Conduit Purchaser (or the Person
issuing Commercial Paper for the benefit of such CP Conduit Purchaser) any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings,
or other similar proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar
law.

         This covenant shall survive the termination of this Indenture
Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable
hereunder and thereunder.

         SECTION 11.15. TERMINATION OF THIS INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT. This Indenture
Supplement shall terminate upon the termination of the Amortization Period.

         SECTION 11.16. LIMITED RECOURSE. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any obligations of each CP Conduit Purchaser
hereunder to any party hereto are solely the corporate obligations of such CP
Conduit Purchaser and shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or
are available to such CP Conduit Purchaser in excess of funds necessary to pay
in full all of its outstanding Commercial Paper and, to the extent funds are not
available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not
constitute a claim against such CP Conduit Purchaser but shall continue to
accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in
Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party against a CP
Conduit Purchaser shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all of its
Commercial Paper.

         (b) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any CP
Conduit Purchaser contained herein shall be had against any incorporator,
stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of such CP Conduit Purchaser,
its administrative agent, the Funding Agent with respect to such CP Conduit
Purchaser or any of their Affiliates by the enforcement of any assessment or by
any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it
being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture Supplement is solely a
corporate obligation of such CP Conduit Purchaser individually, and that no
personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator,
stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of such CP Conduit Purchaser,
its administrative agent, the Funding Agent with respect to such CP Conduit
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of
them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of
such CP Conduit Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and
that any and all personal liability for breaches by such CP Conduit Purchaser of
any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at
equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator,
stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as
a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Indenture
Supplement; PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from
any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or
omissions made by them. The provisions of this Section 11.18 shall survive
termination of this Indenture Supplement.

         SECTION 11.17. WAIVER OF SETOFF. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture Supplement or any other agreement to the contrary, all payments
to the Purchasers hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

         SECTION 11.18. CONFLICT OF INSTRUCTIONS. In the event the Issuer and
the Collection Agent shall have delivered conflicting instructions to the
Indenture Trustee or the Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking
action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, shall follow the instructions of the Issuer.

         SECTION 11.19. CHASE CONFLICT WAIVER. Chase acts as Indenture Trustee,

and as administrative agent for PARCO, as issuing and paying agent for PARCO's
Commercial Paper, as provider of other backup facilities for PARCO, and may
provide other services or facilities from time to time (the "CHASE ROLES"). Each
of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and consents to any and all Chase
Roles, waives any objections it may have to any actual or potential conflict of
interest caused by Chase's acting as the Indenture Trustee, the Funding Agent
with respect to PARCO or as the APA Bank with respect to PARCO and acting as or
maintaining any of the Chase Roles, and agrees that in connection with any Chase
Role, Chase may take, or refrain from taking, any action which it in its
discretion deems appropriate.

         SECTION 11.20. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

         (a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in the
City of New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or
relating to this Indenture Supplement, the Transaction Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, in the case of the Issuer, to the Issuer's agent for service of
process identified pursuant to SECTION 9.1(r) and, in the case of Goodyear, to
Goodyear at its address set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and
agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process
in any other manner permitted by law. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.20
shall affect the right of any party hereto to bring any action or proceeding
against any other party hereto or its respective property in the courts of other
jurisdictions.

         (b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT OR ANY OTHER OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND FOR ANY
COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
