     (a)  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of
the outstanding Debt Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case
may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly
appointed in writing. If Debt Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Debt
Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of Debt Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and
evidenced by the record of Holders of Debt Securities of such series voting in
favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any
meeting of Holders of Debt Securities of such series duly called and held in
accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such
instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record
or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting
at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Debt Security,
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of
the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made
in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of
Debt Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.

     (b)  The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     (c)  The ownership of Registered Debt Securities shall be proved by the
Security Register.

     (d)  The ownership of Bearer Debt Securities may be proved by the
production of such Bearer Debt Securities or by a certificate executed, as
depository, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depository, wherever
situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory,
showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such
depository, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Debt Securities therein described; or
such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding
such Bearer Debt Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the
Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such
ownership of any Bearer Debt Security continues until (1) another certificate or
affidavit bearing a later date issued in

                                       11
<PAGE>

respect of the same Bearer Debt Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Debt
Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer
Debt Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Debt Security, or (4)
such Bearer Debt Security is no longer outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Debt
Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.

     (e)  If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, the Company may, at its option, in 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. Notwithstanding TIA Section
316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to
such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days
prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and
not later than the date such solicitation is completed. 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 Debt 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 Debt 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 eleven months after the record date.

     (f)  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act of the Holder of any Debt Security shall bind every future Holder
of the same Debt Security and the Holder of every Debt 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, any
Debt Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the
Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon
such Debt Security.

     SECTION 105. 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
furnished to, or filed with,

     (1)  the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with
the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust
Administration, or

     (2)  the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it
at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this
Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee
by the Company.

     SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture provides for
notice of any event to Holders of Registered Debt Securities by the Company or
the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to
each such 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 of Registered Debt Securities 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 of Registered Debt Securities or the sufficiency of

                                       12
<PAGE>

any notice to Holders of Bearer Debt Securities given as provided herein. Any
notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively
deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually
receives such notice.

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

     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with
respect to any Debt Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Debt Securities of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in
[The City of New York] and in such other city or cities as may be specified in
such Debt Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than
the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the
date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the
first such publication.

     If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper
or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Debt Securities as
provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Debt Securities as
shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient
notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give
notice by publication to any particular Holder of Bearer Debt Securities as
provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Debt
Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered securities
given as provided herein.

     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 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 107.   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 108.   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 109.   SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. In case any provision in this Indenture
or in any Debt Security or coupon 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 110.   BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Debt Securities or coupons, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto, any Debt Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any
Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit
or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                                       13

     SECTION 111.   GOVERNING LAW. This Indenture and the Debt Securities and
coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the
State of New York. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the TIA that
are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable,
be governed by such provisions.

     SECTION 112.   LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or
Maturity of any Debt Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Debt
Security or coupon other than a provision in the Debt Securities of any series
which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof),
payment of interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (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 at such Place of Payment with the same force and
effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date
or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case
may be, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment
Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may
be.

                                SECURITIES FORMS

     SECTION 201.   FORMS OF DEBT SECURITIES. The Registered Debt Securities, if
any, of each series and the Bearer Debt Securities, if any, of each series and
related coupons shall be in substantially the forms as shall be established in
or pursuant to one or more indentures supplemental hereto or by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution, shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to
comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with
any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Debt Securities may be
listed, or to conform to usage.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Debt
Securities shall have interest coupons attached.

     The definitive Debt Securities and coupons shall be printed, lithographed
or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved
border or steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as
determined by the officer executing such Debt Securities or coupons, as
evidenced by his or her execution of such Debt Securities or coupons.

     SECTION 202.   FORM OF TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION. Subject to
Section 611, the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in
substantially the following form:

     This is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated therein
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

                                                   [________________] as Trustee

     SECTION 203.   DEBT SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN GLOBAL FORM. If Debt Securities
of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated
by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 301 and the
provisions of Section 302, any such Debt Security shall represent such of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may
provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Debt
Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of such series represented
thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges.
Any endorsement of a Debt Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any
increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Debt Securities represented
thereby shall be made by or at the direction of the Trustee in such manner and
upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein
or pursuant to Section 301 or in the Company Order to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303
and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any
Debt Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given
by the Person or Persons specified therein or pursuant to Section 301 or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has
been or is delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to
endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Debt Security in global form shall be
in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by
an Opinion of Counsel.

     The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Debt
Security represented by a Debt Security in global form if such Debt Security was
never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the
Debt Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Debt Securities
represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the
last sentence of Section 303.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any premium and
interest on any Debt Security in permanent global form shall be made to the
Person or Persons specified therein.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in the
preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and
the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding
Debt Securities represented by a global Debt Security (i) in the case of a
global Debt Security in registered form, the Holder of such global Debt Security
in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a global Debt Security in bearer
form, Euroclear or CEDEL.

Securities. The terms of the Debt Securities of any series may provide, without
limitation, that the Debt Securities shall be authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee on original issue from time to time upon telephonic or written order of

and conditions of the Securities of such series as are specified in such Board
Resolution, Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, as the case may be.
All Debt 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 Debt Securities of such series.

     If the form or any of the terms of the Debt Securities of any series are
established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of
an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or

                                       18
<PAGE>

prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of
the Debt Securities of such series.

     SECTION 302.   DENOMINATIONS. The Debt Securities of each series shall be
issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section
301. With respect to Debt Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in
the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series, the Registered Debt Securities of such series, other than Registered
Debt Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall
be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the
Bearer Debt Securities of such series, other than Bearer Debt Securities issued
in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in
denominations of $5,000.

     SECTION 303.   EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. The Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by its Chairman, any Vice Chairman, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents and attested by its Treasurer, one of its Assistant Treasurers, its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these
officers on the Debt Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile
signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debt Securities.

     Debt Securities or coupons 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 Debt
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Debt Securities or
coupons.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Debt Securities of any series, together with
any coupon appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Debt Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities; provided, however,
that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Debt Security shall be
mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided
further that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Debt
Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Debt Security may be delivered in
connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive
such Bearer Debt Security shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear or
CEDEL, as the case may be, in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this
Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified with respect to any
series of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days
prior to the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Debt Security is delivered
and the date on which any temporary Debt Security first becomes exchangeable for
such Bearer Debt Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Debt
Security and this Indenture. If any Debt Security shall be represented by a
permanent global Bearer Debt Security, then, for purposes of this Section 303
and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon
original issuance of such Debt Security or upon exchange of a portion of a
temporary global Debt Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with
its original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent
global Debt Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not
authenticate and deliver any Bearer Debt Security unless all appurtenant coupons
for interest then matured have been detached and canceled. In authenticating
such Debt Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this
Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully
protected in relying upon,

     (i)  an Opinion of Counsel stating that

                                       19
<PAGE>

     (a)  the form or forms of such Debt Securities and any coupons have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (b)  the terms of such Debt Securities and any coupons have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

     (c)  such Debt Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto,
when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and
issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and
general equitable principles; and

     (ii)      an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Debt Securities
have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of
such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Debt Securities
shall have occurred and be continuing.

     If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Debt Securities if the issue of such Debt
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights,
duties, obligations or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture
or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if all the Debt Securities
of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or a
Company Order, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to this Section 303 at the time of issuance of each Debt
Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with
appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at
or before the time of issuance of the first Debt Security of such series.

     Each Registered Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication
and each Bearer Debt Security shall be dated as of the date specified as
contemplated by Section 301.

     No Debt Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Debt Security or Debt Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by
the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate
upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any Debt Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but
never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Debt
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together
with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Debt Security has never
been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     SECTION 304.   TEMPORARY DEBT SECURITIES.

                                       20
<PAGE>

     (a)  Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Debt Securities which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which
they are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one
or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Debt Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of
such Debt Securities. In the case of Debt Securities of any series, such
temporary Debt Securities may be in global form. Except in the case of temporary
Debt Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with
Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution),
if temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Debt Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series, the
temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Debt 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 Debt Securities of any series (accompanied by any non-
matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Debt Securities of the same series of authorized denominations;
provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Debt Security shall be delivered in
exchange for a temporary Registered Debt Security; and provided further that a
definitive Bearer Debt Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary
Bearer Debt Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section
303. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Debt Securities of such series.

     (b)  Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this
Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Debt Securities issued in
global form other than through the facilities of DTC. If any such temporary Debt
Security is issued in global form, then such temporary global Debt Security
shall, unless otherwise provided therein or pursuant to Section 301, be
delivered to the London office of a depository or common depository (the "Common
Depository"), for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL, for credit to the
respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Debt Securities (or to such
other accounts as they may direct).

     Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global
Debt Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Debt Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such temporary global Debt Security, executed by the Company. On or
after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Debt Security shall be
surrendered by the Common Depository to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for
such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for
definitive Debt Securities without charge to the Holders, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global
Debt Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debt Securities
of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion
of such temporary global Debt Security to be exchanged. The definitive Debt
Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Debt
Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form
or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as
requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise specified in such temporary global Debt Security, upon such
presentation by the Common Depository, such temporary global Debt Security is
accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and
signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Debt Security
held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange
Date or a subsequent date and

                                       21
<PAGE>

signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary global Debt Security held
for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2
to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to
Section 301; and provided further that definitive Bearer Debt Securities shall
be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Debt Security only
in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.

     Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Debt Security, the
interest of a beneficial owner of Debt Securities of a series in a temporary
global Debt Security shall be exchanged for definitive Debt Securities of the
same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account
holder instructs Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, to request such
exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a
certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such
other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than
15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be
available from the offices of Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any
Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Debt Securities and each
Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Debt Security,
any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such
temporary global Debt Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Debt
Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like
unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Debt Securities in person
at the offices of Euroclear or CEDEL. Definitive Debt Securities in bearer form
to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Debt Security
shall be delivered only outside the United States.

     Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Debt
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of the same series and of
like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global
Debt Security on an Interest Payment Date for Debt Securities of such series
occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear
and CEDEL on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to
the Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit
A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to
Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest
Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners
of such temporary global Debt Security on such Interest Payment Date and who
have each delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate
dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior
to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or
in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications
made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of
the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph
of Section 303 of this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the
beneficial owners of the temporary global Debt Security with respect to which
such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive Debt Securities of
the same series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or the date of
certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act
or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this
paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing with respect to a
beneficial interest in a temporary global Debt Security will be made unless and
until such interest in such temporary global Debt Security shall have been
exchanged for an interest in a definitive Debt Security.

     SECTION 305.   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 of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each
series of Debt Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any
such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein
sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which, subject
to such reasonable

                                       22
<PAGE>

regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Registered Debt Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Registered Debt
Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The
Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office and at its office in the [Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York] at the address set forth in Section 1002 (or at
such other address at which the Trustee's New York office may subsequently be
located), is hereby initially appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of
registering Registered Debt Securities and transfers and exchanges of Registered
Debt Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that
the Trustee shall cease to be Debt Security Registrar, it shall have the right
to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.

     Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Registered Debt Security of any series at any
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered
Debt Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a
like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, and containing identical terms and provisions.

     Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder,
Registered Debt Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered
Debt Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical
terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Debt Securities to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Debt
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Debt Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified
with respect to any series of Debt Securities as contemplated by Section 301,
Bearer Debt Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Debt
Securities.

     If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject
to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officers" Certificate, or in any
indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 301, at the
option of the Holder, Bearer Debt Securities of any series may be exchanged for
Registered Debt Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer
Debt Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured
coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder
of a Bearer Debt Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or
coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may
be effected if the Bearer Debt Securities are accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing
coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be
waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying
Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Debt Security shall surrender
to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment
shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the portion of
such payment equal to the face amount of such surrendered coupon, provided,
however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Debt Security of any series is
surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a
Registered Debt Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment
Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Debt Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will

                                       23
<PAGE>

not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as
the case may be, in respect of the Registered Debt Security issued in exchange
for such Bearer Debt Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such
coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Whenever
any Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any
permanent global Debt Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this
paragraph. If the depository for any permanent global Debt Security is DTC,
then, unless the terms of such global Debt Security expressly permit such global
Debt Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Debt
Securities, a global Debt Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part,
only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to
DTC for such global Debt Security selected or approved by the Company or to a
nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time (i) DTC notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the applicable
global Debt Security or Debt Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a
clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if so
required by applicable law or regulation, and, in either case, a successor
depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (ii) the Company in
its sole discretion determines that such global Debt Securities shall be
exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities or (iii) there shall have occurred
and be continuing an Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the
Debt Securities of any series and beneficial owners representing a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities represented by
such global Debt Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depository, then the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
definitive Debt Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive
form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
global Debt Security or Debt Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest
in a permanent global Debt Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such
interest for Debt Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal
amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated
by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent
global Debt Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but
in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so
exchanged, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, definitive Debt Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global
Debt Security. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, such permanent global Debt Security shall be surrendered for exchange
by DTC or such other depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with
respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose;
provided, however, that no Bearer Debt Security delivered in exchange for a
portion of a permanent global Debt Security shall be mailed or otherwise
delivered to any location in the United States. If a Registered Debt Security is
issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Debt Security after the
close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any
Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency
on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any special Record Date and the
opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for
payment of Defaulted Interest, Interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may
be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for
payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Debt Security, but
will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as
the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion
of such permanent global Debt Security is payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

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

                                       24
<PAGE>

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

     No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Debt 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 Debt
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 or upon
surrender of a Debt Security for conversion in part or repayment in part at the
option of the Holder not involving any transfer.

     The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security if such Debt
Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Debt Securities to be
redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such
Debt Securities are issuable only as Registered Debt Securities, the day of the
mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (B) if such Debt Securities are
issuable as Bearer Debt Securities, the day of the first publication of the
relevant notice of redemption or, if such Debt Securities are also issuable as
Registered Debt Securities and there is no publication, the day of mailing of
the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Registered Debt Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except, in the case of any Registered Debt Security to be redeemed in
part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer
Debt Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Debt Security
may be exchanged for a Registered Debt Security of that series and like tenor,
provided that such Registered Debt Security shall be simultaneously surrendered
for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt
Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder,
except the portion, if any, of such Debt Security not to be so repaid.

     SECTION 306.   MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN DEBT SECURITIES. If
any mutilated Debt Security or a Debt Security with a mutilated coupon
appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with,
in proper cases, such Debt Security or indemnity as may be required by the
Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them
harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Debt Security of the same series and
principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to the surrendered Debt Security.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security or
coupon, and (ii) such Debt 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 Debt Security or coupon 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 Debt Security or in exchange for the Debt Security to
which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant
coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Debt Security of the same series
and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the
coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or
to the Debt Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or coupon has become or is
about to become due and payable, the company in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Debt Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any,
appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security or to the Debt
Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such

                                       25
<PAGE>

Debt Security or coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and
premium, if any), any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to,
Bearer Debt Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on
Bearer Debt Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
the coupons appertaining thereto.

     Upon the issuance of any new Debt 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 Debt Security of any series with its coupons, if any, issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security,
or in exchange for a Debt Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security and its
coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon 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 Debt Securities of
that series and their coupons, if any, 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 Debt Securities or coupons.

     SECTION 307.   PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. Except as
otherwise specified with respect to a series of Debt Securities in accordance
with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Registered Debt Security
that 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 Debt Security (or
one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the
Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however,
that each installment of interest on any Registered Debt Security may at the
Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or
upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308,
to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii)
transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
the Debt Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case
of a Bearer Debt Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee
with a bank located outside the United States.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, interest, if any,
payable on any permanent global Debt Security or any Interest Payment Date will
be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or CEDEL, as the case may be, with respect to that
portion of such permanent global Debt Security held for its account by Cede &
Co. (or by another nominee of DTC or by DTC) or the Common Depository, as the
case may be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest
received by it in respect of such permanent global Debt Security to the accounts
of the beneficial owners thereof.

     In case a Bearer Debt Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for
a Registered Debt Security of such series after the close of business (at an
office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record
Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Debt Security shall be surrendered
without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not
be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Debt
Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Debt Security, but will

                                       26
<PAGE>

be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Debt Securities
in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered
Debt Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest")
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof 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 Registered Debt Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Debt Securities) are registered at the close of business
on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall
be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each
Registered Debt Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment
(which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the
Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which the Debt Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Debt
Securities of such series) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit on or 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
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 Registered Debt 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. The Trustee shall in the name and at the
expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in
an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, but such publications shall
not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be
paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Debt Securities of such series
(or their respective Predecessor Debt 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). In case a Bearer Debt Security of any series is
surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in
exchange for a Registered Debt Security of such series after the close of
business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for
payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Debt Security shall be surrendered
without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted
Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the
Registered Debt Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Debt Security, but
will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture.

     (2)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the
Registered Debt Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Debt
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, such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

                                       27
<PAGE>

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each
Debt Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or
in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debt Security shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Debt Security.

     SECTION 308.   PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment of a
Registered Debt 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 Registered Debt Security is registered as the owner of such Debt Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and
(subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered Debt Security and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Debt 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.

     Title to any Bearer Debt Security and any coupons appertaining thereto
shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Debt Security and the Holder of
any coupon as the absolute owner of such Debt Security or coupon for the purpose
of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Debt Security or coupon 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, any Paying Agent or the Debt Security
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Debt Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Debt Security,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, 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 depository, as a Holder, with respect to
such global Debt Security or impair, as between such depository and owners of
beneficial interests in such global Debt Security, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depository (or its
nominee) as Holder of such global Debt Security.

     SECTION 309.   CANCELLATION. All Debt Securities and coupons surrendered
for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, 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 any such Debt Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for
any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Debt Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for
delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Debt Securities previously
authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Debt
Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. If the
Company shall so acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Debt Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to
the Trustee for cancellation. No Debt Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Debt Securities canceled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. Canceled Debt
Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and
the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company,
unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it.

contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Debt Securities of any series,
interest on the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have

     (iii)  if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for

expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or(iii)
above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as
trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Debt
Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the
entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities and such coupons not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, to the date of
such deposit (in the case of Debt Securities which have become due and payable)
or to 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; and

     (3)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and

                                       29
<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 606, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under
Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with and held by the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, and the obligations of

Sections 305, 306, 402, 1002 and 1003, with respect to the payment of Additional
Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 1015
and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange such Securities into
Common Shares or Preferred Shares or other securities or property, shall
survive.

     SECTION 402.   APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS. Subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Debt Securities, the coupons and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than 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, if any,
and Additional Amounts, if any, 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.

                                    REMEDIES

     SECTION 501.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT. "Event of Default," wherever used herein
with respect to any particular series of Debt Securities, means any one of the
following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether or
not it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or
pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

     (1)  default in the payment of any interest on, or any Additional Amounts

coupon becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of
30 days; or

     (2)  default in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, or
any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any principal of or premium, if

repayment or otherwise); or

     (3)  default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by
the terms of any Debt Security of that series; or

     (4)  default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of
the Company in this Indenture with respect to any Debt Security of that series
(other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose
breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or included herein
solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities other than that series),
and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there
has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee
or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series a written notice
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

     (5)  default under any bond, note, debenture or other evidence of
indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including an event of
default with respect to any other series of Debt

                                       30
<PAGE>

Securities), or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether such
indebtedness exists on the date of this Indenture or shall hereafter be created,
which results in such indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding
$20,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise have become due and payable, or which constitutes a
failure to pay at maturity or other scheduled payment date (after expiration of
any applicable grace period) such indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount
exceeding $20,000,000, but only if such indebtedness is not discharged or such
acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 10 days after there shall have
been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to
the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series a written
notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such
indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or
annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

     (B)  consents to the entry of an order or decree for relief against it in
an involuntary case or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case

Company in an involuntary case,

     (B)  adjudges the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company a
bankrupt or insolvent,

arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary of the Company,

     (D)  appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of
the Company or for all or any substantial part of the property of the Company or
any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or

     (E)  orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary of the Company, and the order or decree described in this clause (7)
remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or

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

                                       31
<PAGE>

     As used in this Section 501, the term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11 U.S.
Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors and the term
"Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

     SECTION 502.   ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an
Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series at the time
outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any Debt Securities
are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities or Indexed Debt Securities, such
portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the
Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon
any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become
immediately due and payable.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt
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
Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

     (1)  the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the Debt
Securities of such series are payable (except as may be otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Debt Securities of such series):

     (A)  all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts
payable in respect of all Outstanding Debt Securities of that series and any
related coupons,

     (B)  the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Debt
Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by
or provided for in such Debt Securities,

     (C)  to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon
overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates
borne by or provided for in such Debt Securities, and

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

     (2)  all Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of that series,
other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on Debt Securities of that series which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section
513.

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

     SECTION 503.   COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
TRUSTEE. The Company covenants that if:

     (1)  default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, on any Debt Security of any series and any related
coupon when such interest or Additional Amount becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a period of 30 days, or

                                       32
<PAGE>

     (2)  default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any, on) any Debt Security of any series at its Maturity, then the Company will,
upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders
of such Debt Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due
and payable on such Debt Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest and Additional Amounts, with interest upon any overdue
principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in
such Debt 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, and may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities of such
series 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 Debt Securities of such series, wherever situated.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Debt 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 Debt Securities of such
series and any related coupons 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 enforce
any other proper remedy.

     SECTION 504.   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 Debt Securities or the property of the
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
of whether the principal of the Debt Securities of any series 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, premium, if any, 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, or such lesser amount
as may be provided for in the Debt Securities of such series, of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid
in respect of the Debt 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 agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed
in such judicial proceeding, and

     (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 of
Debt Securities of such series and coupons 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 to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and
any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.

                                       33
<PAGE>

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

     SECTION 505.   TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF DEBT
SECURITIES OR COUPONS. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or
any of the Debt Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Debt Securities or coupons 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 Debt Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered.

     SECTION 506.   APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. Any money collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article 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 (or premium, if any) or interest and any
Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Debt Securities or coupons, or
both, as the case may be, 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 and any predecessor
Trustee under Section 606;

     SECOND: To the payment of amounts then due and unpaid to the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness, to the extent required by Article XVI;

     THIRD:  To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Debt
Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any
Additional Amounts 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 aggregate amounts due and payable on such Debt Securities and
coupons for principal (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts,
respectively; and

     FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

     SECTION 507.   LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Debt Security of any
series or any related coupon 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 Debt Securities of that series;

     (2)  the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt 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 have offered to the Trustee indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

                                       34
<PAGE>

     (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

     (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 Debt Securities of that series; it being understood
and intended that no one or more of such Holders 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 such Holders.

     SECTION 508.   UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL,
PREMIUM, IF ANY, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Debt Security or coupon shall
have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307)
interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Debt Security or
payment of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Debt
Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in
the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on the Repayment 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 509.   RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any
Holder of a Debt Security or coupon 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 the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of Debt Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, 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 had been instituted.

     SECTION 510.   RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Debt Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right
or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Debt Securities or coupons 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 511.   DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder of any Debt Security or coupon 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 Five 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 of Debt Securities or coupons, as
the case may be.

     SECTION 512.   CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF DEBT SECURITIES. The Holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt 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 Debt Securities
of such series, provided that

                                       35
<PAGE>

     (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)  the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in
personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Debt Securities of
such series not joining therein.

     SECTION 513.   WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series
may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series and any
related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and
its consequences, except a default

     (1)  in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on
or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Debt Security of such series or
any related coupons, or

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

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

     SECTION 514.   WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION 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 or take the
benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now
or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) 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 515.   UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Holder of any Debt 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 or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any
party litigant in such suit of any 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 Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt 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 Debt Security on or after the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the
Holder, on or after the Repayment Date) or for the enforcement of the right, if

                                  THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 601.   NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. Within 90 days after the occurrence of
any default hereunder with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the
Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section
313(c), notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the
case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Debt Security of such
series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith
determines, that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Holders of the Debt Securities and coupons of such series; and provided further
that in the case of any default or breach of the character specified in Section
501(4) with respect to the Debt Securities and coupons of such series, no such
notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence
thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.

     SECTION 602.   CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Subject to the provisions of TIA
Section 315(a) through 315(d):

     (1)  the Trustee may 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,
coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

     (2)  any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than
delivery of any Debt Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto,
to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which
shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the
Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

     (3)  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;

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

     (5)  the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of
the Holders of Debt Securities of any series or any related coupons pursuant to
this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security
or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction;

     (6)  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, bond, debenture,
note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may
make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may
see fit, and, if the Trustee shall

                                       37
<PAGE>

determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent
or attorney;

     (7)  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

     (8)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

     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 any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee
undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee.

     SECTION 603.   NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF DEBT SECURITIES.
The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities, except the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, and in any coupons 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
Debt Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Debt
Securities and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Debt Securities or the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 604.   MAY HOLD DEBT SECURITIES. The Trustee, any Paying Agent,
Debt Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company,
in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt
Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may
otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Paying Agent, Debt Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such
other agent.

     SECTION 605.   MONEY HELD IN TRUST. Money held by the Trustee in trust
hereunder 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 in writing with the Company.

     SECTION 606. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.  The Company agrees:

     (1)  to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation 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 each of
the Trustee and any predecessor 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

                                       38
<PAGE>

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 each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and
to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
negligence or bad faith on its own 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 501(6) or Section 501(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 Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law.

     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien for payment of the Trustee's fees
and expenses prior to the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or
collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with
respect to particular Debt Securities or any coupons.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Indenture.

     SECTION 607.   CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY; CONFLICTING
INTERESTS. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be
eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a) (1) and shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or which trust company
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and whose
ultimate parent holding company shall have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000). If such corporation (or ultimate parent holding company, as
the case may be) publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation (or ultimate parent holding
company, as the case may be) 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 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 608.   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 609.

     (b)  The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Debt Securities
of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee 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.

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

                                       39
<PAGE>

     (d)  If at any time:

     (1)  the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section
310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Debt
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security for at least six
months, or

     (2)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of
a Debt Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security for at least
six months, or

     (3)  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 or pursuant to a Board
Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect
to all Debt Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a
Debt Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt 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 Debt 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 Debt Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with
respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series (it being understood that
any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Debt 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 Debt Securities of any particular series). If,
within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt 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, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and to that extent
supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders of Debt Securities and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Debt Security
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt 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 Debt Securities of such series.

     (f)  The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Debt Securities in
section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate
Trust Office.

     SECTION 609.   ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

     (a)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Debt Securities, every such successor Trustee 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

                                       40
<PAGE>

conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee; but, on 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, subject nevertheless to its lien and claim, if any, provided
for in Section 606.

     (b)  In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, 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 Debt 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 Debt 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
Debt 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 Debt 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 Debt
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
this Article Six.

     SECTION 610.   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 of 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 Debt Securities or coupons shall have
been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt Securities or coupons so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Debt Securities or coupons. In case any Debt Securities or
coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such
successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such

                                       41
<PAGE>

Debt Securities or coupons, in either its own name or that of its predecessor
Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the
certificate of authentication of the Trustee.

     SECTION 611.   APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. At any time when any of
the Debt Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Debt
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Debt Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption or repayment thereof, and Debt 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. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall
be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Debt 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 bank or trust company or
corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of
the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authorities. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the
requirements of the aforesaid 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. In case 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 further act
on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

     An Authenticating Agent for any series of Debt Securities may at any time
resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series
and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Debt Securities may at any
time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Debt Securities of the series with
respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in
Section 106. 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 herein. 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 including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for
its services under this Section.

                                       42
<PAGE>

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

     This is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated therein
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

                                              [____________________], as Trustee

     SECTION 701.   DISCLOSURE OF NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF HOLDERS. Every Holder
of Debt Securities or coupons, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with
the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any Debt Security Registrar shall
be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the
names and addresses of the Holders of Debt Securities in accordance with TIA

the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations
prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports
pursuant to either of such Sections, then it will 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 information,
documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of a security listed and registered

of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time
to time by the Commission.

     SECTION 704.   COMPANY TO FURNISH TRUSTEE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF HOLDERS.
The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

for interest for each series of Debt Securities, a list, in such form as the
Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of
Registered Debt Securities of such series as of such Regular Record Date, or if
there is no Regular Record Date for interest for such series of Debt Securities,
semiannually, 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 Debt
Security Registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished.

     SECTION 801.   CONSOLIDATIONS AND MERGERS OF COMPANY AND SALES, LEASES AND
CONVEYANCES PERMITTED SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS. The Company will not, in
any transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate with, or sell,
lease, assign, transfer or otherwise convey all or substantially all of its

shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor Person (if other than the
Company) formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger or which
shall have received the transfer of such assets is a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof or
the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture
executed by such successor corporation and delivered by it to the Trustee (which
supplemental indenture shall comply with Article Nine hereof and shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee), the due and punctual payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on and all Additional
Amounts, if any, payable in respect of, all of the Outstanding Debt Securities,

Acquired Debt) which becomes an obligation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries as a result thereof as having been incurred by the Company or such
Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event
which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of
Default, shall have occurred and shall be continuing; and (iii) the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee the Officers' Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel required pursuant to Section 803 below. In the event that the Company is
not the continuing corporation, then, for purposes of clause (ii) of the

     SECTION 802.   RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF SUCCESSOR CORPORATION. In case of any
such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance and

corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for and may exercise every right
and power of the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named as the

                                       44
<PAGE>

"Company" herein; and the predecessor corporation, except in the case of a
lease, shall be released from any further obligation under this Indenture and
the Debt Securities. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be
signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any
or all of the Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not
have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the
order of such successor corporation, instead of the Company, and subject to all
the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee
shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall
have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and any Debt Securities which such successor corporation
thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that
purpose. All the Debt Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same
legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Debt Securities theretofore
or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, assignment,
transfer or conveyance, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in
substance) may be made in the Debt Securities thereafter to be issued as may be
appropriate.

     SECTION 803.   OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE AND OPINION OF COUNSEL. Any
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance permitted
under Section 801 is also subject to the condition precedent that the Trustee
receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance,
and the assumption by any successor corporation, complies with the provisions of
this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
such transaction have been complied with.

                                 ARTICLE NINE
                            SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     SECTION 901.   SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS. Without
the consent of any Holders of Debt Securities or coupons, the Company, when
authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time
and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental
hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

     (1)  to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the
assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in
the Debt Securities contained; or

     (2)  to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders
of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the
benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants
are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to
surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or

     (3)  to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders
of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such Events of Default are to be
for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such
Events of Default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such
series); provided, however, that in respect of any such additional Events of
Default such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace
after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the
case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such
default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or
may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of that or those series of Debt Securities to which such additional Events of
Default apply to waive such default; or

                                       45
<PAGE>

     (4)  to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide
that Bearer Debt Securities may be registrable as to principal, to change or
eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or any premium or
interest on Bearer Debt Securities, to permit Bearer Debt Securities to be
issued in exchange for Registered Debt Securities, to permit Bearer Debt
Securities to be issued in exchange for Bearer Debt Securities of other
authorized denominations or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt
Securities in uncertificated form, provided that any such action shall not
adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of any series
or any related coupons in any material respect; or

     (5)  to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture,
provided that no such change or elimination shall become effective with respect
to the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series issued hereunder which were
first issued prior to the date of such change or elimination and which are
entitled to the benefit of such provision; or

     (6)  to secure the Debt Securities; or

     (7)  to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series and
any related coupons as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, including the
provisions and procedures if applicable, relating to Debt Securities convertible
into Common Shares or Preferred Shares or other securities or property, as the
case may be; or

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

     (9)  to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein or to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the
Holders of Debt Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material
respect; or

     (10) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent
as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the discharge, defeasance or
covenant defeasance, as the case may be, of any series of Debt Securities
pursuant to Sections 401, 1402 and 1403; provided that any such action shall not
adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series
and any related coupons or any other series of Debt Securities in any material
respect.

     SECTION 902.   SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS. With the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all
Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental
indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the
Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee
may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of such series or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such
series and any related coupons under this Indenture; provided, however, that no
such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby:

     (1)  change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any,
on) or any installment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any,
on, or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to,

                                       46
<PAGE>

any Debt Security; or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount
of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or any
premium payable thereon, or change any obligation of the Company to pay
Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1015 (except as contemplated by Section
801 and permitted by Section 901(1)), or reduce the amount of the principal of
an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that would be due and payable upon a
declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or
the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, or adversely
affect any right of the Holder of any Debt Security to repayment of such Debt
Security at such Holder's option, or change any Place of Payment where, or the
currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which, the principal of any Debt Security or any premium or
interest thereon or any Additional Amounts in respect thereof 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 or, in the case of repayment at the option of Holder, on or
after the Repayment Date, as the case may be),or

     (2)  reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
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 with respect to such series (of compliance with certain provisions of
this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided
for in this Indenture, or reduce the requirements of Section 1504 for quorum or
voting, or

     (3)  modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section
1013 except to increase the percentage required to effect such action or to
provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security
affected thereby, or

     (4)  make any change that adversely affects the right, if any, to convert
or exchange any Debt Security for Common Shares, Preferred Shares or other
securities or property in accordance with its terms. 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. A supplemental indenture which changes or
eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly
been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt
Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt 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 Debt Securities
of any other series.

     SECTION 903.   EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted
by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The
Trustee 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 904.   EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture under this Article Nine, 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 Debt Securities theretofore
or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any coupon
appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby.

                                       47
<PAGE>

     SECTION 905.   CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

     SECTION 906.   REFERENCE IN DEBT SECURITIES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
Debt Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article Nine 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 Debt 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 Debt Securities of such series.

                                  ARTICLE TEN
                                   COVENANTS

     SECTION 1001.  PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, INTEREST AND
ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the
Holders of each series of Debt Securities that it will duly and punctually pay
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional
Amounts payable in respect of the Debt Securities of that series in accordance
with the terms of such series of Debt Securities, any coupons appertaining
thereto and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to any series of Debt Securities, any interest due on
and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Debt Securities on or
before Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in
Section 1015 in respect of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Debt
Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several
coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they
severally mature.

     SECTION 1002.  MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. If Debt Securities of a
series are issuable only as Registered Debt Securities, the Company shall
maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities an office or
agency where Debt Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment or conversion, where Debt Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. If Debt Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer
Debt Securities, the Company will maintain: (A) in the [Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York], an office or agency where any Registered Debt Securities
of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion, where
any Registered Debt Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Debt Securities of that series may be
surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Debt Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served
and where Bearer Debt Securities of that series and related coupons may be
presented or surrendered for payment or conversion in the circumstances
described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B) subject to any
laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series
which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Debt
Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered
for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Debt
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1015) or conversion; provided,
however, that if the Debt Securities of that series are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and
such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent
for the Debt Securities of that series in Luxembourg or any other required city
located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Debt
Securities of that series are listed on such exchange; and (C) subject to any
laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series
located outside the United States an

                                       48
<PAGE>

office or agency where any Registered Debt Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, where Debt Securities of that series
may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Debt Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of each 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
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands), except that Bearer Debt Securities of that series and the related
coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any
Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Debt Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1015) or conversion at the offices specified in the Debt Security or
pursuant to Section 301 in London, England, and the Company hereby appoints the
same as its agent to receive such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Debt Securities pursuant to
Section 301, no payment of principal, premium or interest on or Additional
Amounts in respect of Bearer Debt Securities shall be made at any office or
agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in
the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in
the United States; provided, however, that, if the Debt Securities of a series
are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on
any Bearer Debt Security (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect of
Debt Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1015) shall be made at the
office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in the [Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York] if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full
amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case
may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for the
purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or
effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

     The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Debt Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind
such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Debt
Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in
the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Debt Securities, the Company
hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Debt Securities the
office or agency of the Company in the [Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York], and initially appoints the Trustee at its offices which on the date of
this Indenture are located at ____________________________ in such city as its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands and
appoints the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office and at its offices in the
[Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York], as Paying Agent and Securities
Registrar. The Company may subsequently appoint a different office or agency in
the [Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York] and a different Paying Agent
and Security Registrar for the Debt Securities of any Series. Unless otherwise
specified with respect to any Debt Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so
long as the Debt Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign
Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is
required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will
maintain with respect to each such series of Debt Securities, or as so required,
at least one exchange rate agent.

     SECTION 1003.  MONEY FOR DEBT 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 any Debt Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of (or premium, if

                                       49
<PAGE>

any) or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of any of the Debt
Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which the Debt Securities of such
series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Debt Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts 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
Debt Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts in
respect of any Debt Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
(in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts so becoming due, such
sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent 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 principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Debt
Securities 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 Debt Securities) in the making of any such payment of principal
(or premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts; 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
sums.

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series pursuant to Section 301, any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of,
any Debt Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal (or premium, if any), or interest or Additional Amounts has become due
and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if then held
by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Debt
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment of such principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or
any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Debt Security, 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 or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains

                                       50
<PAGE>

unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall 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 1004. EXISTENCE. Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises;
provided, however, that the Company will not be required to preserve any right
or franchise if its Board of Directors determines that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof
is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Debt
Securities Outstanding under this Indenture.

     SECTION 1005. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Company will cause all of its
properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any
Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order
and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all
necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof,
all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business
carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted
at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the
Company and its Subsidiaries from selling or otherwise disposing of for value
their respective properties in the ordinary course of business.

     SECTION 1006. INSURANCE. The Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, keep in force upon all of its properties and operations
policies of insurance carried with responsible companies in such amounts and
covering all such risks as shall be customary in the industry in accordance with
prevailing market conditions and availability.

     SECTION 1007. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS. The Company will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the
Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and
supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the
Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company will not be
required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

     SECTION 1008. PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Whether or not the
Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, for so long as any Debt Securities are Outstanding, the Company will, to
the extent permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, file with the
Commission the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the
Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to such
Section 13 or 15(d) if the Company were so subject, on or prior to the
respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Company would have
been so required so to file such documents.

         The Company will also in any event (x) within 15 days after each
Required Filing Date (i) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, copies
of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company
would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the Company were subject to such
Sections, and (ii) file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly
reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 if the Company were subject to such Sections and (y) if filing such
documents by the Company with the Commission is not permitted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, promptly upon written

                                       51
<PAGE>

request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply
copies of such documents to any prospective Holder.

     SECTION 1009. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. The Company may omit in any
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in
Sections 1004 to 1012, inclusive, if before or after the time for such
compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either waive
such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
covenant 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.

     SECTION 1010. STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Company will deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate
from its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal
accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with
all conditions and covenants under this Indenture and, in the event of any
noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof.
For purposes of this Section 1014, such compliance shall be determined without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

     SECTION 1011. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. If any Debt Securities of a series
provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the
Holder of any Debt Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto
Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301. Whenever
in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Debt Security
of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on
the sale or exchange of any Debt Security of any series, such mention shall be
deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the
terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in
such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect
thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as
excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express
mention is not made.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the
Debt Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at
least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that
series of Debt Securities (or if the Debt Securities of that series will not
bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal
and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect
to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the
Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or
Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such
payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Debt Securities of
that series shall be made to Holders of Debt Securities of that series or any
related coupons who are not United States Persons without withholding for or on
account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge specified by the
terms of the Debt Securities of the series. If any such withholding shall be
required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount,
if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Debt
Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will pay to the
Trustee or such Paying Agent or Paying Agents the Additional Amounts required by
the terms of such Debt Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate,
then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no
such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to any Debt Securities of a
series or related coupons until it shall

                                       52
<PAGE>

have received an Officers' Certificate advising otherwise and (ii) to make all
payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Debt
Securities of a series or related coupons without withholding or deductions
until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any
Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part
arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them or
in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or
in reliance on the Company's not furnishing such an Officers' Certificate.

                                ARTICLE ELEVEN.
                           REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 1101. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Debt 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
301 for Debt Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 1102. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. The election of the
Company to redeem any Debt Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
less than all of the Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least
45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption referred to in Section
1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Debt Securities
of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Debt Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Debt Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with
such restriction.

     SECTION 1103. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF DEBT SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. If
less than all the Debt Securities of any series issued on the same day with the
same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee, from the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series issued on such date
with the same terms not previously called for redemption (excluding any such
Outstanding Debt Securities held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide
for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Debt Securities of that series or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities
of that series.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Debt Security
Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Debt Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Debt 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 Debt Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Debt Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in
part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Debt Security which has
been or is to be redeemed.

     SECTION 1104. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be given in
the manner provided in section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms
of such series established pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Debt
Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein
provided to the Holder of any Debt Security designated for redemption as a whole
or in part, or any defect

                                       53
<PAGE>

in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other such Debt Security or portion
thereof.

         Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Debt Securities
in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

         (1)   the Redemption Date,

         (2)   the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest to the
Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, and Additional
Amounts, if any,

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

         (4)   in case any Debt Security is to be redeemed in part only, the
notice shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such
Debt Security, the Holder will receive, without a charge, a new Debt Security or
Debt Securities of such series of authorized denominations for the principal
amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

         (5)   that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued
interest to the Redemption Date and Additional Amounts, if any, payable as
provided in Section 1106, will become due and payable upon each such Debt
Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that
interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

         (6)   the Place or Places of Payment where such Debt Securities,
together in the case of Bearer Debt Securities with all coupons appertaining
thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for
payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, and Additional
Amounts, if any, or (if applicable) for conversion,

         (7)   that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case,

         (8)   that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Debt
Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied
by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the
amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the
Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the
Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished,

         (9)   if Bearer Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed and
any Registered Debt Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if
such Bearer Debt Securities may be exchanged for Registered Debt Securities not
subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or
otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges
may be made,

         (10)  the CUSIP number of such Debt Security, if any, and

         (11)  if applicable, that a Holder of Debt Securities who desires to
convert Debt Securities for redemption must satisfy the requirements for
conversion contained in such Debt Securities the then existing conversion price
or rate, and the date and time when the option to convert shall expire. Notice
of

                                       54
<PAGE>

redemption of Debt Securities to be redeemed 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 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. At or prior to 12:00 noon (New
York City time) on 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, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article
Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite
currency or currencies in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise may be specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Debt
Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect
to, all the Debt Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that
date.

     SECTION 1106. DEBT SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE. Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Debt Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which the Debt Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Debt
Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, and
Additional Amounts, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such
date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price or
accrued interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any) such Debt Securities
shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons
for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Debt Securities so to be redeemed,
except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such
Debt Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all
coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Debt Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Debt Securities
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable
only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as
otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for
such interest; and provided further that, except as otherwise provided with
respect to Debt Securities convertible into Common Shares or Preferred Shares or
other securities or property, installments of interest on Registered Debt
Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities, or one or more Predecessor Debt
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. If any Bearer
Debt Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all
appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Debt Security may
be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face
amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or
coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to
them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Debt Security shall
surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect
of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder
shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that
interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002)
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of those coupons.

         If any Debt 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 borne by or
provided in the Debt Security.

                                       55
<PAGE>

     SECTION 1107. DEBT SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Any Registered Debt
Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of
this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered 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 Debt Security without service charge a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities of the same series, 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 Debt Security so
surrendered.

     SECTION 1108. CONVERSION ARRANGEMENT ON CALL FOR REDEMPTION. In connection
with any redemption of Debt Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase
and conversion of any Debt Securities called for redemption by an agreement with
one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Debt
Securities (a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee by the Company
prior to the relevant Redemption Date) by paying to the Trustee or the Paying
Agent in trust for the Holders of Debt Securities, on or before 12:00 Noon (New
York City time) on the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the Redemption
Price, together with interest, if any, accrued to the Redemption Date of such
Debt Securities and Additional Amounts, if any, in immediately available funds.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Eleven, the
obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Debt Securities,
including all accrued interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be
deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by
such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Debt Securities not
duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the
Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such
purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion,
all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the last day on which
Debt Securities of such series called for redemption may be converted in
accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Debt Securities, subject to
payment to the Trustee or Paying Agent of the above- described amount. The
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Debt
Securities are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it in the same
manner as it would pay moneys deposited with it by the Company for the
redemption of Debt Securities. Without the Trustee's and the Paying Agent's
prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers
for the purchase and conversion of any Debt Securities shall increase or
otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of
the Trustee and the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company
agrees to indemnify the Trustee and the Paying Agent from, and hold them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection
with any such arrangement for the purpose and conversion of any Debt Securities
between the Company and such purchasers, including the costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee and the Paying Agent (including the fees and expenses of
their agents and counsel) in the defense of any claim or liability arising out
of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers,
duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.

                                ARTICLE TWELVE.
                                 SINKING FUNDS

     SECTION 1201. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. The provisions of this Article
shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Debt Securities of
a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Debt
Securities of such series.

         The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Debt 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 such Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as
an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Debt
Securities of any

                                       56
<PAGE>

series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Debt Securities of any series as provided for by
the terms of Debt Securities of such series.

     SECTION 1202. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH DEBT SECURITIES.
The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking
fund payment with respect to the Debt Securities of a series, (1) deliver
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series (other than any previously called for
redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Debt Securities of such series
with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Debt
Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the
Company pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities or through the application
of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt
Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Debt Securities, or which have
otherwise been acquired by the Company; provided that such Debt Securities so
delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Debt
Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the
applicable Redemption Price specified in such Debt Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking
fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

     SECTION 1203. REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. Not less than
60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Debt Securities of any
series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Debt
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Debt Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of
that series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be
added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Debt Securities to be so delivered and credited. If
such Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash
to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon
be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before
each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Debt Securities
to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in
Section 1103 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 1104.
Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall
be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                               ARTICLE THIRTEEN.
                      REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

     SECTION 1301. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Debt Securities of any series which
are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity
shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Debt Securities of such
series. The repayment of any principal amount of Debt Securities pursuant to
such option of the Holder to require repayment of Debt Securities before their
Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not operate as a payment,
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debt
Securities unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or
surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Debt Securities be
canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
1301, in connection with any repayment of Debt Securities, the Company may
arrange for the purchase of any Debt Securities by an agreement with one or more
investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Debt Securities by
paying to the Holders of such Debt Securities on or before the close of business
on the Repayment Date an amount not less than the Repayment Price payable by the
Company on repayment of such Debt

                                       57
<PAGE>

Securities (together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, to
the Redemption Date), and the obligation of the Company to pay the Repayment
Price of such Debt Securities (together with interest, if any, and Additional
Amounts, if any, to the Redemption Date), shall be satisfied and discharged to
the extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers.

                               ARTICLE FOURTEEN.
                      DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     SECTION 1401. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE; COMPANY'S OPTION TO EFFECT
DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is
made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Debt Securities of or within a
series under Section 1402 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Debt Securities of
or within a series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or
Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article
(with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301
with respect to such Debt Securities), shall be applicable to such Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its
option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Debt Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable)
or Section 1403 (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Debt Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301,
the Company's right, if any, to elect defeasance pursuant to Section 1402 or
covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 1403 may only be exercised with respect
to all of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series.

     SECTION 1402. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's exercise of the
above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Debt Securities of
or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to such Outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are
satisfied (hereinafter "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means
that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only
for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (A) through (D) below, and to have satisfied all of its
other obligations under such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for
the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such outstanding Debt Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B)
the Company's obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under Sections
304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts,
if any, on such Debt Securities as contemplated by Section 1015, and with
respect to any rights to convert or exchange such Debt Securities into Common
Shares, Preferred Shares or other securities or property, (C) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including,
without limitation, those in Section 606 hereof) and (D) this Article Fourteen.
Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
Section 1403 with respect to such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto.

     SECTION 1403. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Company's exercise of the above
option applicable to this Section with respect to any Debt Securities of or
within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under
Sections 1004 to 1012, inclusive, (except that the Company

                                       58
<PAGE>

shall remain subject to the covenant set forth in Section 1008 to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, except as permitted under
Article Eight) and, if specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under
any other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding Debt Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be
not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with Sections 1004 to 1012, inclusive, or such other covenant, but
shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For
this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such
Outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Company
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such
Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event
of Default under Section 501(4) or 501(8) or otherwise, as the case may be, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.

     SECTION 1404. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The
following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403
to any Outstanding Debt Securities of or within a series and any coupons
appertaining thereto:

     (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607
who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Fourteen
applicable to it) 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 Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in such currency, currencies or currency
unit in which such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are then
specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant
defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (f) below, on the
relevant Redemption Date, as the case may be, or (2) Government Obligations
applicable to such Debt Securities and coupons appertaining thereto (determined
on the basis of the currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Debt
Securities and coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at
Stated Maturity or the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be) which
through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
on such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, money in an
amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, 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) and
interest, if any, on such Outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of
principal or interest or the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and
(ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to
such Outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the day
on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture and of such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

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

                                       59
<PAGE>

     (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become an Event of Default with respect to such Debt Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(6) and 501(7) are concerned, at any
time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it
being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the
expiration of such period).

     (d) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a
ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the
applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto 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.

     (e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of
such Outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto 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.

     (f) If the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the
case may be, deposited under subsection (a) above are sufficient to pay the
principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities

Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem such
Debt Securities on such date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders
as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture.

     (g) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance under Section 1402 or the covenant defeasance under

Counsel to the effect that, as a result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (a)
above and the related exercise of the Company's option under Section 1402 or
Section 1403 (as the case may be), registration is not required under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company, with respect to the
trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds.

     (h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance
or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or
substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company
in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

     SECTION 1405. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN
TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other
property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively
for purposes of this Section 1405, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1404 in
respect of any Outstanding Debt Securities of any series and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (other than the Company acting as its own Paying Agent)
as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Debt Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in

                                       60

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.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Debt Security pursuant to
Section 301, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 1404(a) has been made,
(a) the Holder of a Debt Security in respect of which such deposit was made is
entitled to, and does, elect to receive payment in a currency or currency unit
other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made
in respect of such Debt Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of
the currency or currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a)
has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Debt Security and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully
discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any), and interest, if any, on such Debt Security as it becomes due out of
the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the
case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of
such Debt Security into the currency or currency unit in which such Debt
Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based
on the applicable market exchange rate on (x) in the case of payments made
pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such
currency or currency unit in effect on the second Business Day prior to each
payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market
exchange rate for such currency or currency unit in effect (as nearly as
feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.

     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 1404 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 such Outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto.

     Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to
Section 606, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time
upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and
any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404 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 to
effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with
this Article.

     SECTION 1406. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to
apply any cash or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 in
accordance with this Indenture or the Debt Securities of the applicable series
by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture and the
Debt Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1404 until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply such money in accordance with this Indenture
and the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that if the Company
makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt
Security of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Debt Securities
to receive such payment from the cash and Government Obligations held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent.
