                                     PARTIES

         INDENTURE, dated as of _____________, 200__, between REMINGTON OIL AND
GAS CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (herein called the "Company"), having its principal office at
8201 Preston Road, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75225-6211, and
[_______________________], a ___________________ banking corporation (herein
called the "Trustee").

                            RECITALS OF THE COMPANY:

         The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this
Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of its unsecured senior
debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (herein called the
"Securities"), to be issued in one or more series as in this Indenture provided.

         All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the
Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

         This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
that are required to be a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable,
shall be governed by such provisions.

         Now, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

         For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the
Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the
equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities or of series
thereof, as follows:

                                   ARTICLE ONE
             DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION

Section 101. Definitions.

         For all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly
provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

                  (1) the terms defined in this Article have the meanings
         assigned to them in this Article and include the plural as well as the
         singular;

                  (2) all other terms used herein which are defined in the Trust
         Indenture Act, either directly or by reference therein, have the
         meanings assigned to them therein;

                  (3) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the
         meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles, and, except as otherwise herein expressly
         provided, the term "generally accepted accounting principles" with
         respect to any computation required or permitted hereunder shall mean
         such accounting principles as are generally accepted at the date of
         this instrument; and

<PAGE>


                  (4) the words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder" and other
         words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to
         any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.

         Certain terms, used principally in Article Six, are defined in that
Article.

         "Act", when used with respect to any Holder, has the meaning specified
in Section 104.

         "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition,
"control" when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to
direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise;
and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the
foregoing.

         "Authenticating Agent" means any Person authorized by the Trustee to
act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities.

         "Board of Directors" means either the board of directors of the Company
or any duly authorized committee of that board.

         "Board Resolution" means a copy of a resolution certified by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by
the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect on the date of such
certification, and delivered to the Trustee. Where any provision of this
Indenture refers to action to be taken pursuant to a Board Resolution (including

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

any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

         redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such
         obligation;

                  (9) if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral
         multiple thereof, the denominations in which Securities of the series
         shall be issuable;

                  (10) whether payment of principal of and premium, if any, and
         interest, if any, on the Securities of the series shall be without

         Securities, which Depositary shall be, if then required by applicable
         law or regulation, a clearing agency registered under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any circumstances other than
         those set forth in


                                       20
<PAGE>


         Section 305 in which any such Global Security may be transferred to,
         and registered and exchanged for Securities registered in the name of,
         a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
         nominee thereof and in which any such transfer may be registered;

                  (16) whether and under what circumstances the Company will pay
         additional amounts on the Securities of the series held by a person who
         is not a U.S. person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental
         charge withheld or deducted and, if so, whether the Company will have
         the option to redeem the Securities of the series rather than pay such
         additional amounts;

                  (17) if the Securities of the series are to be issuable in
         definitive form (whether upon original issue or upon exchange of a
         temporary Security of such series) only upon receipt of certain
         certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other conditions,
         the form and terms of such certificates, documents or conditions;

                  (18) if the Securities of the series are to be convertible
         into or exchangeable for any other security or property of the Company,
         including, without limitation, securities of another Person held by the
         Company or its Affiliates and, if so, the terms thereof; and

                  (19) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be
         inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture).

         Securities of any one series may, without the consent of the Holders of
such series, be issued at various times, may, without the consent of the Holders
of such series, be reopened for the issuance of additional Securities of such
series and shall be substantially identical, except as may otherwise be provided
in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers'
Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

         At the election of the Company, payment of interest may be made by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register.

         If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken
pursuant to a Board Resolution, an Officers' Certificate shall certify that such
action shall have been duly taken or a copy of an appropriate record of such
action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company and, in either case, delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the
delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication
and delivery of such Securities. With respect to Securities of a series subject
to a Periodic Offering, such Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate may
provide general terms for Securities of such series and provide either that the
specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a
Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Company, or one or
more of the Company's agents designated in an Officer's Certificate, in
accordance with a Company Order.


                                       21

Section 302. Denominations.

         The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form
without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

         The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
President or senior officer under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested
by its Secretary. 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.

         At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided,
however, that in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in
accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the
receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from the Company or
its duly authorized agents, thereafter promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable
to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered
to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of
such series. If the forms or terms of the Securities of the series have been
established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by
Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such documents as it may reasonably
request. The Trustee shall also be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section
601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

                  (a) if the form or forms of such Securities has been
         established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by
         Section 201, that each such form has been established or will, when
         established in compliance with the Company Order, be established in
         conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

                  (b) if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case
         of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering will be,
         established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by
         Section 301, that such terms have been, or in the case of Securities of
         a series offered in a Periodic Offering will be, established or will,
         when established in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture,
         subject, in the case of


                                       22
<PAGE>


         Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any
         conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and

                  (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by
         the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
         conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid
         and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in
         accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be
         limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization,
         liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other laws of
         general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights, to general equity principles, (ii) rights of
         acceleration, if any, and (iii) the availability of equitable remedies
         may be limited by equitable principles of general application, and such
         counsel need express no opinion with regard to the enforceability of
         Section 607 or of a judgment denominated in a currency other than U.S.
         Dollars, and (iv) to such other matters as shall be specified in such
         Opinion of Counsel.

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. With respect to Securities of
a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the
authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the form or forms and
terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability
thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant
to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the
first authentication of Securities of such series.

         Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

         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 manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309 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.

Section 304. Temporary Securities.

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


                                       23
<PAGE>


         If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will
cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that
series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such series.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

         The Company shall cause to be kept in the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York required by Section
1002 a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.            is hereby
appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers of Securities as herein provided. The Company may at any time replace
such Security Registrar, change such office or agency or act as its own Security
Registrar. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
change of the Security Registrar or of the location of such office or agency.

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

         At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global
Security) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series and tenor, of
any authorized denominations and of a like 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 which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

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


                                       24
<PAGE>


         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

         The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at, the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section
1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed
in part.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture and except as
otherwise specified with respect to any particular series of Securities as
contemplated by Section 301, a Global Security representing all or a portion of
the Securities of a series may not be transferred, except as a whole by the
Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by
such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or
a nominee of such successor Depositary. The Trustee and the Company shall treat
the Depositary or its nominee as the Holder of Global Securities for all
purposes hereof. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration or
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a
Global Security except as provided in the two paragraphs immediately following.

         If at any time the Depositary for any Securities of a series
represented by one or more Global Securities notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Securities or if at any
time the Depositary for such Securities shall no longer be eligible to continue
as Depositary under Section 101 or ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with
respect to such Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Securities is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice
or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company's election pursuant to
Section 301 that such Securities be represented by one or more Global Securities
shall no longer be effective and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such
series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities in exchange for
such Global Security or Securities.

         The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities
shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Securities. In such event
the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of the definitive Securities of such series,
will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive
registered form without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
or Securities representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security
or Securities.


                                       25
<PAGE>


         If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to
Securities represented by a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global
Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for
Securities of the same series and tenor in definitive registered form on such
terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of Securities in definitive registered form, shall
authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

         (1) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or
Securities of the same series and term, of any authorized denominations as
requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in
exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

         (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to
the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global
Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities authenticated and
delivered pursuant to clause (1) above.

         Every Person who takes or holds any beneficial interest in a Global
Security agrees that:

                  (a) the Company and the Trustee may deal with the Depositary
         as sole owner of the Global Security and as the authorized
         representative of such Person;

                  (b) such Person's rights in the Global Security shall be
         exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those
         established by law and agreement between such Person and the Depositary
         and/or direct and indirect participants of the Depositary;

                  (c) the Depositary and its participants make book-entry
         transfers of beneficial ownership among, and receive and transmit
         distributions of principal and interest on the Global Securities to,
         such Persons in accordance with their own procedures; and

                  (d) 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 for maintaining,
         supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
         ownership interests.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

         If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

         If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii)
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and
any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a


                                       26
<PAGE>


bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

         Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

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

         Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein
called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder
on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

                  (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
         Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series
         (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the
         close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
         Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
         Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
         Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the
         date of the proposed payment, 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 as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the


                                       27
<PAGE>


         Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
         Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
         than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
         than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
         proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
         Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
         shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
         and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as
         it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to
         such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
         Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so
         mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
         names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
         Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special
         Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
         Clause (2).

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

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

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

         Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if
any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) any interest on such Security and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 309. Cancellation.

         All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company
has not issued and sold, 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,


                                       28
<PAGE>


except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by
the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices.

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 311. CUSIP Numbers.

         The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (in
addition to the other identification numbers printed on the Securities), and, if
so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness of such "CUSIP" numbers either
as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption 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 "CUSIP" numbers.

                  for cancellation; or

                           (B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to
                  the Trustee for cancellation

                           one year under arrangements satisfactory to the
                           Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
                           Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
                           Company,

                  and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
                  deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
                  funds in trust for such purpose an amount sufficient to pay
                  and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not

                  principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of
                  such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due
                  and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
                  the case may be;

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

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

         Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of
the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Subclause (B) of Clause (1) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402, 606 and 1002 and
the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee.

any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected

any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body)

                  (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security
         of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such
         default for a period of 60 days; or

                  (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
         any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; or

         this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been
         included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of
         Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or
         breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by
         registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the

         any Funded Debt of the Company outstanding in an aggregate principal

         and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or
         otherwise, the effect of which default is to cause such Funded Debt to
         become, or to be declared, due prior to its stated maturity unless such
         default shall be cured, by payment or otherwise, within 30 days after
         the receipt by the Company of written notice of such default from the
         Trustee or from the Holders of at least 5% in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of that series; or

                  (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
         of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an
         involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a
         decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or
         approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization,
         arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company
         under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian,
         receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
         official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or
         ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the
         continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other
         decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive
         days; or

                  (7) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or
         proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or
         proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by
         it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the
         Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable
         Federal or State bankruptcy,

         insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement
         of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the
         filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization
         or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by
         it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
         possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
         sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of any substantial
         part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the
         benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its
         inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking
         of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action;
         or

                  (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to
         Securities of that series in accordance with Section 301.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

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

         At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article Five provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

                  (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
         sufficient to pay

                           (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that
                  series,

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

                           (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is
                  lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates
                  prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

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

and


                                       32
<PAGE>



                  (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
         series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of
         that series which have become due solely by such declaration of
         acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

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

Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

         The Company covenants that if

                  (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of
         interest on any Security or any deposit of any sinking fund payment
         when such becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
         period of 60 days, or

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

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent
that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate
or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

         If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of
the property- of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever
situated.

         If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

         In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective


                                       33
<PAGE>
of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment
of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

                  (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
         principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in
         respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as
         may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
         Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
         disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
         of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

                  (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or
other similar committee.

Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

Section 506. Application of Money Collected.

         Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Five shall
be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee
and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or
premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

                  FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under
         Section 607;

<PAGE>


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

                  THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.

Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

                  (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
         the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written
         request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
         Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

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

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

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest.

         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to
Sections 305 and 307) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the
Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

         Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee
or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

         No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities
to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or
an acquiescence therein. Every right. and remedy given by this Article Five or
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and
as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the
case may be.

Section 512. Control by Holders.

         The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such series; provided, however, that

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

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

                  (3) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee
         shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
         Trustee in good faith shall determine that the proceeding so directed
         would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

         The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such
series and its consequences, except

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

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

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

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs.

         All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant, other
than the Trustee, in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit,
and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but (1) the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to
any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the
Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 515. 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.

                                   THE TRUSTEE

Section 601.      Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

                  (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
         such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and as are
         provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and, except for implied covenants
         or obligations under the Trust Indenture Act, no implied covenants or
         obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

                  (2) 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; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions
         which 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 conform to the requirements of this
         Indenture.

                  (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
         vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and
         skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under
         the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

                  (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to
         relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its
         own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except
         that

                  (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
         of Subsection (a) of this Section;

                  (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
         made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved
         that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

                  (3) 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 a majority in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as provided in Section
         512, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
         proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
         trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with
         respect to the Securities of such series; and

                  (4) 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


                                       38
<PAGE>
         reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
         adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
         assured to it.

                  (d) 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.

Section 602. Notice of Defaults.

         Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to
all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in
the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee,
unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any
sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust
committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that
the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities
of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the
character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series,
no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the
occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means
any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

                  (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully

         direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
         indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine

         and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently
         evidenced by a Board Resolution;

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

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

         of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request
         or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless
         such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
         indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
         incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

                  (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
         into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
         statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
         consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
         or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may
         make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
         as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
         further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
         books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
         attorney;

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

                  (h) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an
         Officer's Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or
         titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions
         pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer's Certificate may be signed
         by any person authorized to sign an Officer's Certificate, including
         any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate
         previously delivered and not superseded; and

                  (i) the Trustee shall be entitled to the rights and
         protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article Six in
         acting as a Paying Agent or Security Registrar hereunder.

Section 604. 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 the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee
or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605. May Hold Securities.

         The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections
310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act and Sections 608, 609 and 613, may
otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would


                                       40
<PAGE>


have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security

Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

         The Company agrees

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

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

                  (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and its officers,
         directors, agents and employees for, and to hold it harmless against,
         any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful
         misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
         acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
         including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim
         or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of

an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses
(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services of the Trustee are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law.

         The provisions of this Section 607 shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture and the defeasance of the Securities.

Indenture Act this Indenture with respect to the Securities of more than one
series.

Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.


         There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $150,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The
Trustee shall not be an obligor upon the Securities or an Affiliate thereof. If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article Six.


Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
         appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
         become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
         Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.

                  (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the
         Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to
         the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
         required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
         within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
         resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
         the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
         of such series.

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

                  (d) If at any time:

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

                  (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609
         and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
         or by any such Holder, or



                                       42
<PAGE>


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

         then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may
         remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to
         Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
         for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
         similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
         the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the
         appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

                  (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
         incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
         Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
         series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
         successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or
         those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may
         be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of
         such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
         respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply
         with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year
         after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of
         such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
         series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered
         to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so
         appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
         accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the
         successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to
         that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
         If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
         shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted
         appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has
         been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
         months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
         petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
         successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

                  (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor
         Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so
         appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to
         the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such


                                       43
<PAGE>


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

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

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

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

Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

         Reference is made to Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. For
purposes of Section 311(b),

                  (1) the term "cash transaction" means any transaction in which
         full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days
         after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or
         other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;

                  (2) the term "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of
         exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or
         incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase,
         processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or
         merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
         possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the
         receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
         merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security
         is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the
         creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making,
         drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange,
         acceptance or obligation.

Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

         At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee
may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series
of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof


                                       45
<PAGE>


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, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

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

         The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 614, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 607.

         If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant
to this Section 614, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate
certificate of authentication in the following form:

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

                                         [                ],

                HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY

Section 701. Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders.

         The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee

                  (a) semi-annually, not more than 15 days after each Regular
         Record Date for a series of Securities, a list for such series of
         Securities, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the
         names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of such series as of
         such Regular Record Date, and

                  (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,
         within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a
         list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days
         prior to the time such list is furnished;

provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security
Registrar, no such list need be furnished with respect to such series of
Securities.

Section 702. Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

                  (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
         reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in
         the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section
         701 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in
         its capacity as Security Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list
         furnished to it as provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list
         so furnished.

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

                           (i) afford such applicants access to the information
                  preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with
                  Section 702(a), or


                                       47
<PAGE>


                           (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate
                  number of Holders whose names and addresses appear in the
                  information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance
                  with Section 702 (a) , and as to the approximate cost of
                  mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other
                  communication, if any, specified in such application.

         If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants,
mail to each Holder whose name and address appear in the information preserved
at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702 (a) a copy of the form
of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with
reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed
and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of
mailing, unless within five days after such tender the Trustee shall mail to
such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the
material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interest of the Holders
or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify
the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing
upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an
order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an
order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find,
after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained
have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail
copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the
entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall
be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their
application.

                  (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the
         same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company
         nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held
         accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
         the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section
         702(b), regardless of the source from which such information was
         derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason
         of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section
         702(b).

Section 703. Reports by Trustee.

         Any Trustee's report required pursuant to Section 313(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act shall be dated as of August 1, and shall be transmitted within 60
days after August 1 of each year, commencing with the year 200__, by mail to all
Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. A copy of
each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by
the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with
the Commission and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when
any Securities are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 704. Reports by Company.

         The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the
Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual
reports and of the information,


                                       48

         expressly provided for conversion rights in respect of any series of
         Outstanding Securities with conversion rights;

                  (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
         Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or
         both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
         continuing; and

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

Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of,
the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor
person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case

Section 901. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

         Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a
Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter
into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the
Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

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

                  (2) to add to the covenants of the Company such further
         covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Company shall
         consider to be appropriate for the benefit of the Holders of all or any
         series of Securities (and if such covenants, restrictions, conditions
         or provisions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of
         Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included
         solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or
         power herein conferred upon the Company and to make the occurrence, or
         the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional
         covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default
         permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies
         provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in
         respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or
         provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular
         period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer
         than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an
         immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the
         remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may
         limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
         amount of the Securities of such series to waive such an Event of
         Default; or

                  (3) to add any additional Events of Default in respect of all
         or any series of Securities; or

                  (4) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of

         facilitate the issuance of Securities in bearer form, registrable or
         not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons;
         or

                  (5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
         Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become
         effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any series
         created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is
         entitled to the benefit of such provision; or

                  (6) to secure the Securities of any series pursuant to the
         requirements of Section 1005 or otherwise; or


                                       50
<PAGE>


                  (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series
         as permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or

                  (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
         hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one
         or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this
         Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
         administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee,
         pursuant to the requirements of Section 611(b); or

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

                  (10) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this
         Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the
         qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or under
         any similar federal statute subsequently enacted, and to add to this
         Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required under the
         Trust Indenture Act.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of
any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance,
transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture
which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

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 of such series under this Indenture; provided, however,

each Outstanding Security affected thereby,

         installment of principal of or 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 reduce the amount of the
         principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and
         payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof
         pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment where, or the

                  (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is

         provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their
         consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or

                  (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section 902, Section
         513 or Section 1007, except to increase any such percentage or to
         provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be
         modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
         Outstanding Security affected thereby, provided, however, that this
         Clause (3) shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder
         with respect to changes in the references to "the Trustee" and
         concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso,
         in accordance with the requirements of Sections 611 (b) and 901(8).

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

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

Section 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

         In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

         Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article
Nine, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and
every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

         Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine
shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

Section 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

                                   ARTICLE TEN
                                    COVENANTS

Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

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

Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

         The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York and in each other Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office
or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

         The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind
such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.

         Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities as
contemplated by Section 301, the Company hereby initially designates as the
Place of Payment for each series of


                                       53
<PAGE>


Securities The City and State of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office as the Company's office or agency for each such
purpose in such city.

Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

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

         Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act. For purposes of this Section 1003, should a due date for
principal of (and premium, if any), interest on, or sinking fund payment with
respect to any series of Securities not be on a Business Day, such payment shall
be due on the next Business Day without any interest for the period from the due
date until such Business Day.

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

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

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

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

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


                                       54
<PAGE>


         Subject to any applicable escheat or abandoned property laws, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for one year after such
principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee 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 30 days from
the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Company.

Section 1004. Corporate Existence

         Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise
if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 1005. Limitation on Liens.

         The Company will not itself, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money
borrowed (all such indebtedness for money borrowed being hereinafter in this
Article called "Debt"), secured by a Mortgage on any Principal Property or on
any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, without
effectively providing that the Securities of any series (together with, if the
Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary which is not subordinate in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of the Securities of any series) shall be secured equally and
ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt, so long as such secured Debt shall
be so secured, unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all
Debt so secured would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of a
date within 150 days prior to such determination; provided, however, that this
Section shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from secured Debt in any
computation under this Section, Debt secured by:

                  (1) Mortgages existing at the date of this Indenture;

                  (2) Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock or
         Indebtedness of, any corporation existing at the time such corporation
         becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

                  (3) Mortgages in favor of the Company or any Restricted
         Subsidiary;

         existing at the time of acquisition thereof (including acquisition
         through merger, consolidation or other reorganization) or to secure the
         payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or
         construction thereon or to secure any Debt incurred prior to, at the
         time of, or within 180 days after the later of the acquisition, the
         completion of construction or the commencement of full operation of
         such property or within 180 days after the acquisition of such shares
         or Indebtedness for the purpose of financing all or any part of the
         purchase price thereof or construction thereon, it being understood
         that if a commitment for such financing is obtained prior to or within
         such 180-day period, the applicable Mortgage shall be deemed to be
         included in this Clause (4) whether or not such Mortgage is created
         within such 180-day period;

                  (5) Mortgages on property owned or leased by the Company or a
         Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any

         political subdivision of the United States of America or any State
         thereof, or in favor of any other country or any political subdivision
         thereof, or in favor of holders of securities issued by any such
         entity, pursuant to any contract or statute (including without
         limitation, mortgages or easements on property of the Company or any
         Restricted Subsidiary related to the financing of such property
         pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
         amended or any successor section thereto);

                  (6) Mortgages to secure partial, progress, advance or other
         payments or any Debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or any
         part of the purchase price or cost of construction, development or
         repair, alteration or improvement of the property subject to such
         Mortgage if the commitment for the financing is obtained not later than
         one year after the latter of the completion of or the placing into
         operation (exclusive of test and start-up periods) of such constructed,
         developed, repaired, altered or improved property;

                  (7) Mortgages on oil, gas or other minerals in place or on

         production or acquisition costs (including but not limited to Mortgages

                  (10) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive
         extensions, renewals or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any
         Mortgage referred to in the foregoing Clauses (1) to (9) of this
         Section 1005, inclusive; provided, however, that such extension,
         renewal or replacement Mortgage shall be limited to all or a part of
         the same property, shares of stock or Restricted Subsidiary
         Indebtedness that secured the Mortgage extended, renewed or replaced
         (plus improvements on such property).


                                       56
<PAGE>


         The following transactions shall not be deemed to create Debt secured
by a Mortgage:

                  (i) the sale or other transfer of oil, gas or other minerals
         in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such that, the
         transferee will realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however
         determined) or a specified amount of oil, gas or other minerals, or the
         sale or other transfer of any other interest in property of the
         character commonly referred to as an oil, gas or other mineral payment
         or a production payment; and

         Subsidiary of properties to a partnership, joint venture or other
         entity whereby the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would retain

Section 1006. Statement by Officers as to Default.

         Annually, within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year beginning
with the fiscal year ending December 31, 200__, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee a brief certificate (which need not include the statements set forth in
Section 102) from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer
or principal accounting officer of the Company as to his or her knowledge of the
Company's compliance (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of
notice provided herein) with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture.

Section 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

         The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in Section 1004 or 1005 with respect to
the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of all affected series (voting as one class) shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations
of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term,
provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

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

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101. Applicability of Article.

         Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated
Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series)
in accordance with this Article Eleven.


                                       57

Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

         The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company
of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least five
Business Days prior to the last date for the giving of notice of such redemption
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of
such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (1)
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (2) pursuant to an
election of the Company that is subject to a condition specified in the terms of
the Securities of the series to be redeemed, the Company shall furnish the
Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restriction or condition.

Section 1103. Selection. by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

         If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 40 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series 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 portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal
amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of that series.

         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. If the
Securities of any series to be redeemed consist of Securities having different
dates on which the principal is payable or different rates of interest, or
different methods by which interest may be determined or have any other
different tenor or terms, then the Company may, by written notice to the
Trustee, direct that the Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be
selected from among the groups of such Securities having specified tenor or
terms and the Trustee shall thereafter select the particular Securities to be
redeemed in the manner set forth in the preceding paragraph from among the group
of such Securities so specified.

         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 Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.

Section 1104. Notice of Redemption.

         Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in
the Security Register.

         All notices of redemption shall state:


                                       58
<PAGE>
                  (1) the Redemption Date,

                  (2) the Redemption Price,

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

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

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

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

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

Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

         On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

         Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest
to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified with
respect to Securities of any series as contemplated in Section 301, installments
of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

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


                                       59
<PAGE>


Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE
                                  SINKING FUNDS

Section 1201. Applicability of Article.

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

         The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking
fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

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

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

         Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to
be


                                       60
<PAGE>


satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN
                                   DEFEASANCE

deposit referred to in Clause (1) below (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall upon a Company Request execute proper instruments acknowledging
same), and the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
such series shall no longer be in effect, except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of
Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series to receive, solely from the
trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company's
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002
and 1003, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and (D) this Article Thirteen, if the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"):

                  (1) The Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
         deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
         requirements of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the
         provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in
         trust for the purposes of making the following payments, specifically
         pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the
         Holders of the Securities of such series (i) cash in an amount, or (ii)
         in the case of any series of Securities the payments on which may only
         be made in legal coin or currency of the United States, U.S. Government
         Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and
         interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
         provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment,
         cash in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the
         opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
         accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
         the Trustee, to pay and discharge (A) the principal of (and premium, if
         any, on) and interest on and each installment of principal of (and
         premium, if any, on) and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such
         series on the


                                       61
<PAGE>


         Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or
         interest, as the case may be, or on any Redemption Date established
         pursuant to Clause (3) below, and (B) any mandatory sinking fund or
         analogous payments on the dates on which such payments are due and
         payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the
         Securities of such series. For this purpose, "U.S. Government
         Obligations" means securities that are (x) direct obligations of the
         United States of America for the payment of which its full faith and
         credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled or
         supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United
         States of America, which, in either case, are not callable or
         redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include
         a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of
         the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as custodian with respect to
         any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal
         of or interest on any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such
         custodian for the account of the holder of such depository receipt,
         provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not
         authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder
         of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in
         respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of
         principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by
         such depository receipt.

                  (2) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
         Counsel based on the fact that (x) the Company has received from, or
         there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
         (y) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable
         federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and such
         opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the Securities of such
         series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
         purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject
         to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at
         the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and
         defeasance had not occurred.

                  (3) If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated
         Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous
         payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given
         pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefore satisfactory to the
         Trustee shall have been made.

                  (4) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of
         time or both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and
         be continuing on the date of such deposit.

                  (5) Such defeasance shall not cause the Trustee for the
         Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in
         Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any
         securities of the Company.

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


                                       62
<PAGE>


                  (7) Such defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such
         series then listed on any registered national securities exchange under
         the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be delisted.

                  (8) Such defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any
         additional terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the
         Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

                  (9) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
         precedent provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated by this
         provision have been complied with.

         For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company and any other
obligor upon the Securities of such series shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire debt represented by the Securities of such series, which
shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section
1304 and the rights and obligations referred to in Clauses (A) through (D),
inclusive, of the first paragraph of this Section, and to have satisfied all its
other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar
as the Securities of such series are concerned.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in
Subsection 501(5) or 501(6), or an event which with lapse of time would become
such an Event of Default, shall occur during the period ending on the 91st day
after the date of the deposit referred to in Clause (1) or, if longer, ending on
the day following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to
the Company in respect of such deposit, then, effective upon such occurrence,
the defeasance pursuant to this Section 1302 and such deposit shall be rescinded
and annulled, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of
such series shall be restored to their former positions.

Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance.

         The Company and any other obligor, if any, shall be released on the
91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in Clause (1) below from its
obligations under Sections 704, 801, 1004 and 1005 with respect to the
Securities of any series on and after the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and the Securities of such
series shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver, consent or
declaration or other action or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to the Securities of such series, the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to such Section or by
reason of any reference in such Section to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 501, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be
unaffected thereby. The following shall be the conditions to application of this
Section 1303;


                                       63
<PAGE>


                  (1) The Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
         deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
         requirements of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the
         provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in
         trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically
         pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the
         Holders of the Securities of such series (i) cash in an amount, or (ii)
         in the case of any series of Securities the payments on which may only
         be made in legal coin or currency of the United States, U.S. Government
         Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and
         interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
         provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment,
         cash in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the
         opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accounts
         expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee,
         to pay and discharge (A) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and
         interest on and each installment of principal of (and premium, if any,
         on) and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the
         Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or
         interest, as the case may be, or on any Redemption Date established
         pursuant to Clause (2) below, and (B) any mandatory sinking fund
         payments on the date on which such payments are due and payable in
         accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Securities of such
         series.

                  (2) If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated
         Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous
         payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given
         pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefore satisfactory to the
         Trustee shall have been made.

                  (3) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of
         time or both would become an Event Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing on the date of such deposit.

                  (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
         of Counsel which shall confirm that the holders of the Securities of
         such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
         tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and
         will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and the same
         manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such
         deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred.

                  (5) Such defeasance shall not cause the Trustee for the
         Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in
         Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any
         securities of the Company.

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

                  (7) Such defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such
         series then listed on any registered national securities exchange under
         the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be delisted.


                                       64
<PAGE>


                  (8) Such defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any
         additional terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the
         Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

                  (9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided
         for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this provision
         have been complied with.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in
Subsection 501(5) or 501(6), or an event which with lapse of time would become
such an Event of Default, shall occur during the period ending on the 91st day
after the date of the deposit referred to in Clause (1) or, if longer, ending on
the day following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to
the Company in respect of such deposit, then, effective upon such occurrence,

such series shall be restored to their former positions.

Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of such
Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal

other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 or the principal and interest
