      "Additional Taxes" means taxes, duties or other governmental charges
imposed on the Trust as a result of a Tax Event (which, for the sake of clarity,

that acquires a beneficial interest in, the Securities).

issuance of the Securities; provided, however, that the inability of the Company
to treat all or any portion of the liquidation amount of the Preferred
Securities as Tier 1 Capital shall not constitute the basis for a Capital
Disqualification Event if such inability results from the Company having such
Preferred Securities outstanding in an amount that for any reason is in excess
of the amount which may now or hereafter qualify for treatment as Tier 1 Capital
under applicable capital adequacy guidelines. By way of example, the inability
of the Company to treat all or any portion of the liquidation amount of the
Preferred Securities as Tier 1 Capital as a result of the adoption as a final
rule of any of the proposals set forth in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on
Risk-Based Capital Standards: Trust Preferred Securities and the Definition of

(including covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent),

of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or
instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date
or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is
substituted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities

nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of
this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities.

      SECTION 1.4. Acts of Holders.

      (a)   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,

<PAGE>

expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments (including any appointment of an agent) is or are delivered to the
Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 1.4.

instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any 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 or her the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same,
may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient and in
accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

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

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

      (e)   Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action
hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or
any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly
appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with
regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of
Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of
Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective
hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as defined
below) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on
such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the
Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date
has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date
previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled
and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be
given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6.

                                       12
<PAGE>

      (g)   The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving
or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration or
rescission or annulment thereof referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to
institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv) any direction
referred to in Section 5.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or
direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or
prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with
no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense,
shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the
applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each
Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

      (h)   With respect to any record date set pursuant to paragraph (f) or (g)
of this Section 1.4, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate
any day as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration
Date to any earlier or later day; provided, that no such change shall be
effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant
to this Section 1.4, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed
to have initially designated the ninetieth (90th) day after such record date as
the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Expiration Date shall be later than the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day
after the applicable record date.

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,

      (b)   the Company by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred
Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and
mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at Capital

      SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

      Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event to the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If, by reason of the suspension
of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall
be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then
any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall
be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. 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 1.7. 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 of this Indenture.

      SECTION 2.1. Form of Security.

      Any Security issued hereunder shall be in substantially the following
form:

                          CAPITAL CITY BANK GROUP, INC.

Junior Subordinated Note due 2034

No. _____________                                                  $30,928,000

      Capital City Bank Group, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under
the laws of Florida (hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any
successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Wilmington Trust Company, not in its
individual capacity but solely as Property Trustee for CCBG Capital Trust I, a
Delaware statutory trust (the "Holder"), or registered assigns, the principal
sum of thirty million nine hundred twenty-eight thousand ($30,928,000) Dollars
or such other principal amount represented hereby as may be set forth in the
records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with
the Indenture on December 31, 2034. The Company further promises to pay interest
on said principal sum from November 1, 2004, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly
(subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on December 31, March 31,
June 30, and September 30 of each year, commencing on December 31, 2004, or if
any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (and no
interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for
the period from and after such Interest Payment Date until such next succeeding
Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date, at a fixed rate per annum equal to 5.71% through the Interest
Payment Date in December, 2009, and a variable interest rate per annum, reset
quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.90% thereafter, together with Additional Tax
Sums, if any, as provided in Section 10.5 of the Indenture, until the principal
hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment; provided,
that any overdue principal, premium or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue
installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per annum
equal to 5.71% through the Interest Payment Date in December, 2009, and a
variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.90% thereafter,
compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or
made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.

      The amount of interest payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The
amount of interest payable for any full interest period shall be computed by
dividing the applicable rate per annum by four. The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or
one or more

                                       16
<PAGE>

Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest installment. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to
be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities
not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice
as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture.

      So long as no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(c), (e) or (f) of
the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right,
at any time and from time to time during the term of this Security, to defer the
payment of interest on this Security for a period of up to twenty (20)
consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such period, an "Extension
Period"), during which Extension Period(s), no interest shall be due and payable
(except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No Extension
Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension
Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this
Security. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period
(except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable), except at the end
thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and
payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the
extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at fixed rate per
annum equal to 5.71% through the Interest Payment Date in December, 2009, and a
variable interest rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.90%
thereafter, compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have
otherwise been due and payable until paid or made available for payment. At the
end of any such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then
accrued and unpaid on this Security, together with such Additional Interest.
Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further
defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and further
extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed twenty (20) quarterly
interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other
than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond
the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. Upon the termination of
any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid
interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the
Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such
Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods,
(ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date
and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the
principal of this Security. The Company shall give (i) the Holder of this
Security, (ii) the Trustee, (iii) the Property Trustee and (iv) any beneficial
owner of the Preferred Securities reasonably identified to the Company (which
identification may be made either by such beneficial owner or by the Placement
Agent or the Purchaser) written notice of its election to begin any such
Extension Period at least five (5) Business Days prior to the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date on which interest on this Security would be payable but
for such deferral.

      During any such Extension Period, the Company shall not (i) declare or pay
any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with

                                       17
<PAGE>

respect to, any of the Company's capital stock or (ii) make any payment of
principal of or any interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any
debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or
junior in interest to this Security (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or
other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Company in connection with
(1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or
for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or
consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or
(3) the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into
or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition
transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a
result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company's
capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any
class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class or series of the
Company's indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's capital stock,
(c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's capital
stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or
the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in
connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property
under any Rights Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant
thereto or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other
rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such
warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the
dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock).

      Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security
shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity of this
Security shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in the Place of Payment upon surrender of such Securities to the
Paying Agent, and payments of interest shall be made, subject to such surrender
where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a
banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the
Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by
the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not
been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be
made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear
in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder
of this Security is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest (including any overdue installment of interest and
Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this Security will be made at such place and to
such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee.

      The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in
the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Debt, and this Security is issued subject to the
provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security,
by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b)
authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and
(c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice
of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the
Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

      Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

      This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (the "Securities") issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated
as of November 1, 2004 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Wilmington
Trust Company, as Trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee," which term includes
any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered.

      All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in
the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2004 (as
modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Trust Agreement"),
relating to CCBG Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), among the Company, as Depositor,
the Trustees named therein and the Holders from time to time of the Trust
Securities issued pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

      The Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon not
less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' written notice to the
Holders of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee) on or after December 31, 2009 and subject to the terms and
conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this Security in whole at any
time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such
redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to but
excluding the date fixed for redemption; provided, that the Company shall have
received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required.

      In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special
Event, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days' nor
more than sixty (60) days' written notice to the Holders of the Securities
(unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), redeem
this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the terms and conditions of
Article XI of the Indenture at the Special Event Redemption Price; provided,
that the Company shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
if then required.

      In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security
or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of
the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities
are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from
the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the
selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security.

      The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
Company and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or
indentures for the purpose of

                                       19
<PAGE>

modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the
Holders of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security.

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

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Securities Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

      The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Securities and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

      No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

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

      The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial
interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial
interest in, this Security agree that, for United States federal, state and
local tax purposes, it is intended that this Security constitute indebtedness.

      This Security shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict
of laws provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed.

                                           WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, as Trustee

                                           By: _________________________________
                                                       Authorized officer

      SECTION 2.4. Temporary Securities.

      (a)   Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may
execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed
or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.

      (b)   If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary
Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities
of any authorized denominations having the same Original Issue Date and Stated
Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

      SECTION 2.5. Definitive Securities.

      The Securities issued on the Original Issue Date shall be in definitive
form. The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved, or
produced by any combination of these methods, if required by any securities
exchange on which the Securities may be listed, on a steel engraved border or
steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the
rules of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, all as
determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                 The Securities

      SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

      (a)   The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at
a fixed rate per annum equal to 5.71% through the Interest Payment Date in
December, 2009, and a variable interest rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal
to LIBOR plus 1.90% thereafter, such interest to accrue from the Original Issue
Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided, and any overdue principal, premium or Additional Tax Sums
and any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the
extent

                                       24
<PAGE>

payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a fixed rate per annum
equal to 5.71% through the Interest Payment Date in December, 2009, and a
variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.90% thereafter,
from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or funds for the payment
thereof are made available for payment.

      (b)   Interest and Additional Interest on any 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 Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on
the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of
the principal of a Security or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person
to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security that
is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date
shall be payable as provided in such Security.

      (c)   Any interest on any Security that is due and payable, but is not
timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities
(herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been
such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its
election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) below:

            (i)   The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
      Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective
      Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
      Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a "Special
      Record Date"), which shall be fixed in the following manner. At least
      thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company
      shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
      proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment,
      and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount
      of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
      such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
      Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
      money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
      entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
      Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
      shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days
      prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (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 a Security at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
      Securities Register not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special
      Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
      the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted
      Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or
      their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special
      Record Date; or

            (ii)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any
      other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
      securities exchange on

                                       25
<PAGE>

      which the Securities may be listed and, upon such notice as may be
      required by such exchange (or by the Trustee if the Securities are not
      listed), if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
      proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed
      practicable by the Trustee.

      (d)   Payments of interest on the Securities shall include interest
accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest
payments for the Securities shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The
amount of interest payable for any full interest period shall be computed by
dividing the applicable rate per annum by four.

      (e)   Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the
Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender
of such Securities to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made
subject to such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and
to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be
designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior
to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written
transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in
which case such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such
Person as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as the holder of the Security is the Property Trustee,
the payment of the principal of (and premium if any) and interest (including any
overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on the Security
will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the
Property Trustee.

      (f)   Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or
in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.

      SECTION 3.2. Denominations.

      The Securities shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be
issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

      SECTION 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

      (a)   At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery
of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities in an aggregate principal
amount (including all then Outstanding Securities) not in excess of $30,928,000
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the
Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying
upon:

                                       26
<PAGE>

            (i)   a copy of any Board Resolution relating thereto; and

            (ii)  an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Securities, when
      authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in
      the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
      Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
      Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
      reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
      relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
      principles.

      (b)   The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one of
its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities
may be manual or facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

      (c)   No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have
been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 3.8, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

      (d)   Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

      SECTION 3.4. Global Securities.

      (a)   Upon the election of the Holder after the Original Issue Date, which
election need not be in writing, the Securities owned by such Holder shall be
issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of
the Depositary or its nominee. Each Global Security issued under this Indenture
shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for
such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall
constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

      (b)   Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name
of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee
thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee and the Company in
writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, and no
qualified successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of
receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii)

                                       27
<PAGE>

such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act
and no successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after
obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to
the Trustee a Company Order stating that the Company elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause
(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and
instruct the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such
Global Security of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of
Securities to such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same. Upon the
issuance of such Securities and the registration in the Securities Register of
such Securities in the names of the Holders of the beneficial interests therein,
the Trustees shall recognize such holders of beneficial interests as Holders.

      (c)   If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or
canceled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part
for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global
Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in
this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or
increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or
canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so
exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an
appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar,
whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depository Procedures,
shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a
corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment
of a Global Security by the Depositary, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any
portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such
instructions.

      (d)   Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion
thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a
Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person
other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

      (e)   Securities distributed to holders of Book-Entry Preferred Securities
(as defined in the applicable Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of the Trust
shall be distributed in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in
the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Securities
Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such Depositary, for credit
by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the
Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct).
Securities distributed to holders of Preferred Securities other than Book-Entry
Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust shall not be issued in
the form of a Global Security or any other form intended to facilitate
book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such Securities.

      (f)   The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global
Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under
this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a
Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Depository
Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global

                                       28
<PAGE>

Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be
effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or
its Depositary Participants. The Securities Registrar and the Trustee shall be
entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Indenture relating
to a Global Security (including the payment of principal and interest thereon
and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial interests
therein and the giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Security and shall
have no obligations to the owners of beneficial interests therein. Neither the
Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any
transfers effected by the Depositary.

      (g)   The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security
shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or
its Depositary Participants.

      (h)   No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on
its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of
such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee 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 Global Security or maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 a
Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial
interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

      SECTION 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally.

      (a)   The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a
register (the "Securities Register") in which the registrar and transfer agent
with respect to the Securities (the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration
of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee shall at
all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall
apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.

      (b)   Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the
offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any
authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

      (c)   At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other
Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such
office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

                                       29
<PAGE>

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

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

      (f)   No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company and the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities.

      (g)   Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 3.5, (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business
fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities
pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing
of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of
any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be
redeemed.

      (h)   The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or
agencies where Securities may be surrendered for registration or transfer or
exchange. The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its
office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any
such office or agency.

      SECTION 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

      (a)   If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together
with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee
to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

      (b)   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 Security
and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that
such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall
execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security,
and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

                                       30
<PAGE>

      (d)   Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, 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.

      (e)   Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of
any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

      (f)   The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

      SECTION 3.7. Persons Deemed Owners.

      The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall
treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any interest
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

      SECTION 3.8. Cancellation.

      All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the
Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities 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 Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by
the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.8, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be disposed of by the
Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Trustee shall deliver
to the Company a certificate of such disposition.

      SECTION 3.9. Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.

      (a)   So long as no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(c), (e) or
(f) has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any
time and from time to time during the term of the Security, to defer the payment
of interest on the Securities for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive
quarterly interest payment periods (each such period, an "Extension Period"),
during which Extension Period(s), the Company shall have the right to make no
payments or partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date (except
any Additional Tax Sums that otherwise may be due and payable). No Extension
Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and no Extension
Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the
Securities. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period,
except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise

                                       31
<PAGE>

have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional
Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable)
at a fixed rate per annum equal to 5.71% through the Interest Payment Date in
December, 2009, and a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR
plus 1.90% thereafter, compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts
would have otherwise been due and payable until paid or until funds for the
payment thereof have been made available for payment. At the end of any such
Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on
the Securities together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination
of any such Extension Period, the Company may extend such Extension Period and
further defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and
further extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed twenty (20)
quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date
other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend
beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. Upon the
termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and
unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment
Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i)
such Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment
periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest
Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated
Maturity of the principal of the Securities. The Company shall give (i) the
Holders of the Securities, (ii) the Trustee, (iii) the Property Trustee and (iv)
any beneficial owner of the Preferred Securities reasonably identified to the
Company (which identification may be made either by such beneficial owner or by
the Placement Agent or the Purchaser) written notice of its election to begin
any such Extension Period at least five (5) Business Days prior to the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on the Securities would be
payable but for such deferral.

      (b)   In connection with any such Extension Period, the Company shall be
subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.6(a).

      SECTION 3.10. Right of Set-Off.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have
the right to set off any payment it is otherwise required to make in respect of
any Security to the extent the Company has theretofore made, or is concurrently
on the date of such payment making, a payment under the Guarantee Agreement
relating to such Security or to a holder of Preferred Securities pursuant to an
action undertaken under Section 5.8 of this Indenture.

      SECTION 3.11. Agreed Tax Treatment.

      Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its
acceptance or acquisition of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the
Holder of, and any Person that acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest
in, such Security, intend and agree to treat such Security as indebtedness of
the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes and to treat
the Preferred Securities (including but not limited to all payments and proceeds
with respect to the Preferred Securities) as an undivided beneficial ownership
interest in the Securities (and payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively)
for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes. The provisions of this
Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the
parties.

                                       32
<PAGE>

      SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers.

      The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption and other similar or related materials as a convenience to
Holders; provided, that any such notice or other materials may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or other materials
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers.

                        at the expense, of the Company,

      opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
      expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to
      pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not
      theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and
      any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) to the date
      of such deposit (in the case of Securities that have become due and
      payable) or to the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment
      upon early maturity) or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any
premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) for the payment of
which such money or obligations have been deposited with or received by the
Trustee. Moneys held by the Trustee under this Section 4.2 shall not be subject
to the claims of holders of Senior Debt under Article XII.

                  (C)   the principal of and any premium on any Securities that
                        have become due otherwise than by such declaration of

Trustee.

      (a)   The Company covenants that if:

            (i)   default is made in the payment of any installment of interest

Additional Interest) and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee
under Section 6.6.

      (b)   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 Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of

continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities 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.

proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities),
its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions
authorized hereunder in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee
allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized
to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on
any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to first pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts owing the
Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6.

      All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may
be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any

trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, subject to
Article XII and after provision for the payment of all the amounts owing the

ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities;

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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 itself of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Securities, 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 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Preferred Securities.

      If the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities 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, such Holder or such holder of
Preferred Securities, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee, such
Holders and such holder of Preferred Securities 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, such Holder and such holder of Preferred Securities shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted.

      SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

      Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(f), no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity

                                       39
<PAGE>

or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

      SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

      No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Securities or any
holder of any Preferred Security 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 V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders and
the right and remedy given to the holders of Preferred Securities by Section 5.8
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Preferred Securities, as the case may
be.

place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, that:

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

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

      (c)   subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers
of the Trustee shall, in good faith, reasonably determine that the proceeding so
directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such
direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

      SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

      (a)   The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities and the holders of a majority in aggregate
Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Preferred
Securities may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences
except an Event of Default:

            (i)   in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest
      (including any Additional Interest) on any Security (unless such Event of
      Default has been cured and the Company has paid to or deposited with the
      Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all installments of interest (including
      any Additional Interest) due and past due and all principal of and any
      premium on all Securities due otherwise than by acceleration), or

            (ii)  in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under
      Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each
      Holder of any Outstanding Security.

                                       40
<PAGE>

      (b)   Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of
all the Securities or, in the case of a waiver by holders of Preferred
Securities issued by such Trust, by all holders of Preferred Securities.

      (c)   Upon any such waiver, such Event of 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

      All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by
his or her 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 an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, 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 5.14 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 ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any premium on the Security
after the Stated Maturity or any interest (including any Additional Interest) on
any Security after it is due and payable.

      SECTION 5.15. 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.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   The Trustee

      SECTION 6.1. Corporate Trustee Required.

      There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities. The Trustee shall be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof, authorized to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state
authority and having an office within the United States. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of such supervising or

                                       41
<PAGE>

examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.1, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

      SECTION 6.2. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

            (i)   the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and 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; and

            (ii)  in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
      conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
      of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished
      to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
      provided, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by
      any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
      Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
      determine whether or not they substantially conform on their face to the
      requirements of this Indenture.

      (b)   If an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

      (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall
require the Trustee 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. Whether or not therein expressly
so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2. To the extent that, at law or in
equity, the Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Holders, the
Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder for the Trustee's good faith reliance
on the provisions of this Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture, to the
extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise
existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Company and the Holders to
replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee.

      (d)   No provisions of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability with respect to matters that are within the authority of
the Trustee under this Indenture for its own negligent action, negligent failure
to act or willful misconduct, except that:

                                       42
<PAGE>

            (i)   the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made
      in good faith by an authorized officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be
      proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

            (ii)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
      taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
      direction of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
      amount of the Outstanding Securities relating to the time, method and
      place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
      under this Indenture; and

            (iii) the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
      money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company
      and money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
      from other funds except to the extent required by law.

      SECTION 6.3. Notice of Defaults.

      Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default actually known
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders notice of such default unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that except in the case
of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on
any Securities, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding the notice
if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust
committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of holders of
Securities; and provided, that in the case of any default of the character
specified in Section 5.1(d), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at
least thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section 6.3, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

      SECTION 6.4. Certain Rights of Trustee.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2:

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

      (b)   if (i) in performing its duties under this Indenture the Trustee is
required to decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any
of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee finds ambiguous or inconsistent
with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Trustee is unsure of the
application of any provision of this Indenture, then, except as to any matter as
to which the Holders are entitled to decide under the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Company requesting the Company's
written instruction as to the course of action to be taken and the Trustee shall
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Trustee shall be
instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Company;
provided, that if the Trustee does not receive such instructions from the
Company

                                       43
<PAGE>

within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice or such reasonably
shorter period of time set forth in such notice the Trustee may, but shall be
under no duty to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the
Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which
event the Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct;

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

      (d)   the Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be counsel
to the Trustee, the Company or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its
employees) 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;

      (e)   the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of
any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have
offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction, including reasonable advances as may be requested by the Trustee;

      (f)   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, indenture,
note or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion may make such
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if
the Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be
entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally
or by agent or attorney;

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

      (h)   whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall
deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy
or right or taking any other action with respect to enforcing any remedy or
right hereunder, the Trustees (i) may request instructions from the Holders
(which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Securities as would be entitled to direct the
Trustee under this Indenture in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii)
may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such action until such
instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance
with such instructions;

      (i)   except as otherwise expressly provided by this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is
discretionary under the provisions of this Indenture;

                                       44
<PAGE>

      (j)   without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under
applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding referred to in
clauses (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of Default, such expenses
(including legal fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the
compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any bankruptcy laws or law relating to creditors rights
generally;

      (k)   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,
conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate addressing such matter, which,
upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Company;

      (l)   the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of
Default unless either (i) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge or (ii) the Trustee shall have received notice thereof from the
Company or a Holder; and

      (m)   in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent,
Authenticating Agent or Securities Registrar hereunder, the rights and
protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be
afforded such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, or Securities Registrar.

      SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities.

      The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other agent.

      SECTION 6.6. Compensation; Reimbursement; Indemnity.

      (a)   The Company agrees

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

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

            (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to
      indemnify the Trustee and its Affiliates, and their officers, directors,

      nature whatsoever incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful
      misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance

removal of the Trustee.

      (c)   In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special,
punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but
not limited to, lost profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

      (d)   In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in
the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its
control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether

      SECTION 6.7. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

      (b)   The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof
to the Company.

      (c)   Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be
removed by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

      (d)   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 reason, at
a time when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, and
such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.8. 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 reason, at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Holders, by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.8. If no successor Trustee
shall have been

                                       46
<PAGE>

so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment within sixty
(60) days after the giving of a notice of resignation by the Trustee or the
removal of the Trustee in the manner required by Section 6.8, any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of
such Holder and all others similarly situated, and any resigning Trustee may, at
the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

      (e)   The Company shall give notice to all Holders in the manner provided
in Section 1.6 of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Trustee. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

      SECTION 6.8. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

      (b)   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 rights, powers and trusts referred to
in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.8.

      (c)   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 VI.

      SECTION 6.9. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

      Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided,
that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article
VI. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by
the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation
or as otherwise provided above in this Section 6.9 to such authenticating
Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated, and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of
any predecessor Trustee or in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all
cases the certificate of authentication shall have the full force which

                                       47
<PAGE>

it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the
certificate of the Trustee shall have.

      SECTION 6.10. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

      The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company,
and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility
for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor
any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

      SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

      (a)   The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to the Securities, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange,
registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section
3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated
by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all
times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America, or of any State or Territory thereof 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 authority. If such Authenticating
Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section 6.11 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating
Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in this Section 6.11.

      (b)   Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be
a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating
Agent hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this
Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

      (c)   An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof
to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at

                                       48
<PAGE>

any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 6.11, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.11, which
shall be acceptable to the Company, and shall give notice of such appointment to
all Holders. 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.

      (d)   The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.11 in such
amounts as the Company and the Authenticating Agent shall agree from time to
time.

      (e)   If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent is made pursuant to
this Section 6.11, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the
Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of
authentication in the following form:

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

      (b)   Such successor Person may cause to be executed, and may issue either
in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities
issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company
and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person
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 Securities that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the
officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities
that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be executed and delivered
to the Trustee on its behalf. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities
theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

      (c)   In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or
lease, such changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Securities
thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate to reflect such occurrence.

assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in
the Securities; or

      (b)   to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein
that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under

clause (c) shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Holders or the holders of the Preferred Securities; or

      (d)   to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Indenture or
the Securities to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the
Securities are treated as indebtedness of the Company for United States Federal
income tax purposes, provided, that such action pursuant to this clause (d)
shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holders
or the holders of the Preferred Securities.

      (a)   With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of said Holders
delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by 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
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities under this
Indenture; provided, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security,

            (i)   change the Stated Maturity of the principal or any premium of
      any Security or change the date of payment of any installment of interest
      (including any Additional Interest) on any Security, or reduce the
      principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium
      payable upon the redemption thereof or change the place of payment where,
      or the coin or currency in which, any Security or interest thereon is
      payable, or restrict or impair the right to institute suit for the
      enforcement of any such payment on or after such date, or

            (ii)  reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
      Outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any
      such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required
      for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or of
      defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture,
      or

            (iii) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.2, Section 5.13

no amendment under this Section 9.2 shall be effective until the holders of a
majority in Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Trust
Securities shall have consented to such amendment; provided, further, that if
the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Security is required for any
amendment under this Indenture, such amendment shall not be effective until the
holder of each Outstanding Trust Security shall have consented to such
amendment.

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

      SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

      In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and that
all conditions

                                       53
<PAGE>

precedent herein provided for relating to such action have been complied with.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties, indemnities or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Copies of the final form of each
supplemental indenture shall be delivered by the Trustee at the expense of the
Company to each Holder, and, if the Trustee is the Property Trustee, to each
holder of Preferred Securities, promptly after the execution thereof.

      SECTION 9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

      Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX,
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

shall be bound thereby.

      SECTION 9.5. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

                                   ARTICLE X

                                   Covenants

      SECTION 10.1. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

      The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Securities that it
will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities in accordance with the
terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

      SECTION 10.2. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

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

      (b)   Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will,
prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or
any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Securities,
deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be
held as provided in the Trust Indenture Act and

                                       54
<PAGE>

(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its failure so to act.

      (c)   The Company will cause each Paying Agent for the Securities other
than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which
such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
this Section 10.2, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities, upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities.

      (d)   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 terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

      (e)   Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then
held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium
or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest has
become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision
of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company
Request to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise
required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, 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 a newspaper published in the English
language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

      SECTION 10.3. Statement as to Compliance.

      The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty
(120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the
date hereof, an Officers' Certificate covering the preceding fiscal year,
stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice provided hereunder), and if the Company shall be in
default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which
they may have knowledge.

                                       55
<PAGE>

      SECTION 10.4. Calculation Agent.

      (a)   The Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Securities
remain Outstanding, there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate
LIBOR in respect of each Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of
Schedule A (the "Calculation Agent"). The Company has initially appointed the
Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest
Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time.
So long as the Property Trustee holds any of the Securities, the Calculation
Agent shall be the Property Trustee. If the Calculation Agent is unable or
unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly
appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank
which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurodollar market and which does not control or is not controlled by or under
common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not
resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed.

      (b)   The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as
possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as
defined in Schedule A), but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the
Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate (rounded to the nearest cent,
with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related Interest Payment Date,
and will communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each
Paying Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the
Company the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based and,
in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company before 5:00 p.m.
(London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has
determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts
or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the
foregoing rates and amounts, together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation
Agent's determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest
Payment Date will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon
all parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for the
Securities, "Business Day" shall be defined as any day on which dealings in
deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

      SECTION 10.5. Additional Tax Sums.

      So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if (a) the
Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding Securities and (b) a Tax Event
described in clause (i) or (iii) in the definition of Tax Event in Section 1.1
hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall pay to the Trust (and
its permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) for so
long as the Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered
holder of the Outstanding Securities, such amounts as may be necessary in order
that the amount of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amount (as
defined in the Trust Agreement)) then due and payable by the Trust on the
Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding
in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a result of any
Additional Taxes arising from such Tax Event (additional such amounts payable by
the Company to the Trust, the "Additional Tax Sums"). Whenever in this Indenture
or the Securities there is a reference in any context to the payment of
principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payments of the Additional Tax Sums

                                       56
<PAGE>

provided for in this Section 10.5 to the extent that, in such context,
Additional Tax Sums are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 10.5 and express mention of the payment of
Additional Tax Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Tax Sums in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made; provided, that the deferral of the payment of
interest pursuant to Section 3.9 on the Securities shall not defer the payment
of any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable.

      SECTION 10.6. Additional Covenants.

      (a)   The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities that
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the Company
shall have given notice of its election to begin an Extension Period with
respect to the Securities and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such
Extension Period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, it shall not
(i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the
Company's capital stock, or (ii) make any payment of principal of or any
interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the
Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Securities (other than (A) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of
shares of capital stock of the Company in connection with any employment
contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of
any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection
with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection
with the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible
into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition
transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (B) as a
result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company's
capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any
class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class or series of the
Company's indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's capital stock,
(C) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's capital
stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or
the security being converted or exchanged, (D) any declaration of a dividend in
connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property
under any Rights Plan or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant
thereto, or (E) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other
rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such
warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the
dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock).

      (b)   The Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities (i) to
hold, directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the Common
Securities of the Trust, provided, that any permitted successor of the Company
hereunder may succeed to the Company's ownership of such Common Securities, (ii)
as holder of such Common Securities, not to voluntarily dissolve, wind-up or
liquidate the Trust other than (A) in connection with a distribution of the
Securities to the holders of the Preferred Securities in liquidation of the
Trust or (B) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations
permitted by the Trust Agreement and (iii) to use its reasonable commercial
efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement, to
cause the Trust to continue to be taxable as a grantor trust and not as a
corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes.

      SECTION 10.7. Waiver of Covenants.

      The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
covenant or condition contained in Section 10.6 if, before or after the time for
such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, and at least
a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust
Agreement) of the Preferred Securities then outstanding, by consent 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 in
respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

      SECTION 10.8. Treatment of Securities.

      The Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness, and the amounts
payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as interest, for
all U.S. federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of the Securities
will be made free and clear of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial owner
thereof that has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any
substitute or successor form) establishing its non-U.S. status for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            Redemption of Securities

      SECTION 11.1. Optional Redemption.

      The Company may, at its option, on any Interest Payment Date, on or after
December 31, 2009, redeem the Securities in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
principal amount thereof (or of the redeemed portion thereof, as applicable),
together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including
any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption;
provided, that the Company shall have received the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve with respect to such redemption if then required.

      SECTION 11.2. Special Event Redemption.

      Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the
Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, at
a redemption price equal to the Redemption Price specified in Section 11.1
above, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest,
including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption (the "Special Event Redemption Price"); provided, that the Company
shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve with respect to
such redemption if then required.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 11.3. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

      The election of the Company to redeem any Securities, in whole or in part,
shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, not less than
forty five (45) days and not more than seventy five (75) days prior to the
Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee and the Property Trustee under the Trust Agreement in writing
of such date and of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and
provide the additional information required to be included in the notice or
notices contemplated by Section 11.5. In the case of any redemption of
Securities, in whole or in part, (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction
on such redemption provided in this Indenture or the Securities or (b) pursuant
to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in this
Indenture or the Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such
restriction or condition.

      SECTION 11.4. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

      (a)   If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior
to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not
previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair
and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a
portion of the principal amount of any or each Security, provided, that the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an
authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Security.

      (b)   The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected
for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of
any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Security that has been or is to be redeemed.

      (c)   The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11.4 shall
not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security,
whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any
such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the
Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than
the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

      SECTION 11.5. Notice of Redemption.

      (a)   Notice of redemption shall be given not later than the thirtieth
(30th) day, and not earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day, prior to the
Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Property Trustee under the
related Trust Agreement).

      (b)   With respect to Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, each
notice of redemption shall state:

                                       59
<PAGE>

            (i)   the Redemption Date;

            (ii)  the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be
      calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the
      estimate of the Redemption Price, as calculated by the Company, together
      with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption
      Price will be calculated on the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption
      Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of
      the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is
      calculated);

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

            (iv)  that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become
      due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that any
      interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security or such
      portion, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue on and after said date;
      and

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

      (c)   Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in
part, at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the
Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company
and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner provided above
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail
or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for
redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Security.

      SECTION 11.6. Deposit of Redemption Price.

      Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date specified
in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 11.5, the Company will
deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.2) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and any accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) on, all
the Securities (or portions thereof) that are to be redeemed on that date.

      SECTION 11.7. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

      (a)   If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section
11.5, the Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice
has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or
places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with
accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date. On
presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified in
such notice, the Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and
redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with
accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.

                                       60
<PAGE>

      (b)   Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder
thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities, of
authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Security so presented and having the same Original Issue Date,
Stated Maturity and terms.

      (c)   If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal of and any premium on such

                           Subordination of Securities

      SECTION 12.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt.

      The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its
acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in
the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article XII, the payment of the
principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on
each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt.

      SECTION 12.2. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default; Payment Over of
Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

      (a)   In the event and during the continuation of any default by the
Company in the payment of any principal of or any premium or interest on any
Senior Debt (following any grace period, if applicable) when the same becomes
due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by
declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such
default to the Company by the holders of such Senior Debt or any trustee
therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall
have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property,
securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on
account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment,
retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.

      (b)   In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding
described in clause (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of Default (each such
event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding"), all Senior Debt
(including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such
proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of
any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether
in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or
any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the
payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these
subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any
securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or
readjustment), which would otherwise

                                       61
<PAGE>

(but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of
the Securities shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt
in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all
Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of
any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full.

      (c)   In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums
owing with respect to Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities, together with
the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the
Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the
Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of
and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the
Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution,
whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital
stock or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the Securities and
such other obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or
other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is
subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions
with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of
all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect
thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) shall be received
by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and
before all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, such payment or
distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior
Debt at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing
among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining
unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt (including any
interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) in full. In
the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any
such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt is hereby
irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.

      (d)   The Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the Company, shall
take such reasonable action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an
agent for any holders of Senior Debt or consent to the filing of a financing
statement with respect hereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Debt at the time
outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the
subordination effected by these provisions.

      (e)   The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall not impair any rights,
interests, remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect
of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the
provisions of this Indenture.

      (f)   The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on
a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be
deemed to prevent such obligations from constituting, respectively, obligations
ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities.

      SECTION 12.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.

      Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time, except during
the pendency of the conditions described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of
any Proceeding referred to in Section 12.2, from making payments at any time of
principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on
the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited
with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any
premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the
retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by
the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in accordance with Section 12.8) that
such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article XII,
except as provided in Section 12.8.

      SECTION 12.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.

      Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all
Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or
otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of
the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or
distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions
of this Article XII (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of
the Company that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the
Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to
the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any
payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Debt) to the rights of
the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash,
property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and
any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities
shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or
securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Article XII, and no payments made
pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII to the holders of Senior Debt by
Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities,
be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the
Senior Debt.

      SECTION 12.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

      The provisions of this Article XII are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the
one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in
this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended
to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the Holders of the
Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any
premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms,
(b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the
Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to
the holders of Senior Debt or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any
Security (or to the extent expressly provided herein, the holder of any
Preferred Security) from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by

                                       63
<PAGE>

applicable law upon default under this Indenture, including filing and voting
claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII
of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise
payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

      SECTION 12.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

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

      SECTION 12.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

      (a)   No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to
enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or
be otherwise charged with.

      (b)   Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this
Section 12.7, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from to time,
without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the
Securities, without incurring responsibility to such Holders of the Securities
and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article
XII or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the
holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or
alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt
or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt
is outstanding, (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property
pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt, (iii) release any Person
liable in any manner for the payment of Senior Debt and (iv) exercise or refrain
from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

      SECTION 12.8. Notice to Trustee.

      (a)   The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence
of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder
of Senior Debt or from any trustee, agent or representative therefor; provided,
that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this
Section 12.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the
payment of the principal of and any premium on or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any Security),

                                       64
<PAGE>

then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same
to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior
to such date.

      (b)   The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a
written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of
Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor)
to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a
trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor). In the event that
the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with
respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may
request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which
such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any
other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XII, and
if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such
Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive
such payment.

      SECTION 12.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent.

      Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article XII, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of
the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee
for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article
XII.

      SECTION 12.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt.

      The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be
liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or
distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person
cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise.

      SECTION 12.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of
Trustee's Rights.

      The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article XII with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any
time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and
nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
holder.

                                       65
<PAGE>

      SECTION 12.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

      If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as
used in this Article XII shall in such case (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within
its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article XII in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided,
that Sections 12.8 and 12.11 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

      This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

                             DETERMINATION OF LIBOR

      With respect to the Securities, the London interbank offered rate
("LIBOR") shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
following provisions (in each case rounded to the nearest .000001%):

(1)   On the second LIBOR Business Day (as defined below) prior to an Interest
Payment Date beginning on December 31, 2009 (each such day, a "LIBOR
Determination Date"), LIBOR for any given security shall, for the following
interest payment period, equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent
from Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News, for three-month U.S. Dollar
deposits in Europe, which appears on Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and
Currency Exchange Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page
3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.

(2)   If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Dow
Jones Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations
of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the London
interbank market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe in an amount
determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as
of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made
by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination
Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall
equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination
Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR
shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading
banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on
the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in
Europe in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the
principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market;
provided that, if the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a
rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above, LIBOR
shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date.

(3)   As used herein: "Reference Banks" means four major banks in the London
interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent; and "LIBOR Business Day"
means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings
in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London.
