         2002. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 103.625%
         2003. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101.813%
         2004 and thereafter . . . . . . . . . . 100.00%


in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to (but
not including) the date fixed for redemption.

    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, if any
Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) occurs on or
prior to maturity, the Company shall offer to purchase from each
holder all or any part of the holder's Notes for which a Change
of Control Purchase Notice shall have been delivered as provided
in the Indenture and not withdrawn, on the date that is 30
Business Days after the occurrence of such Change of Control (the
"Change of Control Purchase Date"), for a Change of Control
Purchase Price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the Change of
Control Purchase Date, which Change of Control Purchase Price
shall be paid in cash.

    Holders have the right to withdraw any Change of Control
Purchase Notice by delivering to the Trustee a written notice of
withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

    If cash sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase
Price of all Notes or portions thereof to be purchased on the
Change of Control Purchase Date is deposited with the Trustee as
of the Change of Control Purchase Date, interest shall cease to
accrue (whether or not this Note is delivered to the Trustee or
any other office or agency maintained for such purpose) on such
Notes (or portions thereof) on and after the Change of Control
Purchase Date, and the holders thereof shall have no other rights
as such (other than the right to receive the Change of Control
Purchase Price, upon surrender of such Notes).

    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the
Company shall apply the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the
Indenture) of Asset Sales (as defined in the Indenture), under
certain circumstances described in the Indenture, to (x) the
prepayment of Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) in
respect of or under the Credit Agreement (as defined in the
Indenture) and the Specified Pari Passu Indebtedness (as defined
in the Indenture) unless the holders thereof elect not to receive
such 

                                6
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

prepayment and (y) an offer to purchase (an "Asset Sale Offer")
the then outstanding Notes, on any Business Day occurring no
later than 175 days after the receipt by the Company (or any of
its Subsidiaries, if applicable) of such Net Cash Proceeds, at a
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof together with
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the
Asset Sale Purchase Date (as defined in the Indenture).  Such
Asset Sale Offer with respect to the Notes shall be in an
aggregate principal amount (the "Asset Sale Offer Amount") equal
to the Net Cash Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest $1,000)
from the Asset Sales to which the Asset Sale Offer relates
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal
amount of the Notes outstanding (determined as of the close of
business on the day immediately preceding the date notice of such
Asset Sale Offer is mailed) and the denominator of which is the
principal amount of the Notes outstanding plus the aggregate
principal amount of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and
the Specified Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding (determined as
of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
date notice of such Asset Sale Offer is mailed).  If (x) no
Indebtedness is outstanding in respect of or under the Credit
Agreement or the Specified Pari Passu Indebtedness or (y) the
holders of such Indebtedness entitled to receive payment elect
not to receive the payments provided for in the previous
sentence, or (z) the application of such Net Cash Proceeds
results in the complete prepayment of such Indebtedness, then in
each case any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds will be
required to be applied to an Asset Sale Offer to purchase the
Notes.

    Upon surrender of this Note, the transfer of this Note is
registrable by the registered holder hereof in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing on the registry books of the
Company at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company
referred to on the face hereof, subject to the terms of the
Indenture but without payment of any charge other than a sum
sufficient to reimburse the Company for any tax or other
governmental charge incident thereto.  Upon any such registration
of transfer, a new Note or Notes of authorized denomination or
denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.

    Prior to due presentation for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Note registrar may
deem and treat the person in whose name this Note shall be
registered upon the registry books of the Company as the absolute
owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of
the principal hereof, premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase
Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price and interest due hereon and for
all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor
any paying agent nor any Note registrar shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.  All such payments shall be valid and
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability on this Note to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

    No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale
Purchase Price or the interest on this Note, or for any claim
based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in
respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto,
against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as
such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or
rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty
or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof
and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly
waived and released.

Certificate from the Company.  Following the termination of the

pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depository.  The
aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global
Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by

or exchange thereof) is registered on the record date for the
payment of such defaulted interest.  The principal of, premium,
if any, Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase
Price and interest on the Notes shall be payable to the
registered holder thereof at the office or agency to be
maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.02; provided, however, that payment of interest may be
made at the option of the Company by check mailed by first-class
mail to the address of the person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear on the registry books of the Company;
provided that all payments with respect to any Note, if the
holder of such Note has given wire transfer instructions (which
instructions must be received by the Company at least 5 Business
Days prior to the relevant date of payment) to the Company, will
be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account specified by the holder of such Note;
provided, that such payments (other than interest payments) may
be conditioned upon surrender of the Notes.  The term "record
date" as used in this Section 2.03 with respect to any interest
payment date shall mean the close of business on the April 1 or
October 1, as the case may be, next preceding such interest
payment date, whether or not such April 1 or October 1 is a
Business Day, and such term, as used in this Section 2.03, with
respect to the payment of any defaulted interest shall mean the
tenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the
payment of defaulted interest whether or not a Business Day, but
in no case shall such record date be less than ten days after
notice thereof shall have been mailed by or on behalf of the
Company to all registered holders of Notes at their addresses.

    The Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication. 
Except as provided in the next sentence, interest shall accrue on
the Notes from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or
duly provided for, from October 23, 1996.  Each Note
authenticated between the record date for any interest payment
date and such interest payment date shall be dated the date of
its authentication but shall bear interest from such interest
payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the
Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such
interest payment date, then any Note so authenticated shall bear
interest from the April 15 or October 15, 

                                39
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

as the case may be, next preceding the date of such Note to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for on the Notes, from October 23,
1996.

    Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

    SECTION 2.04.  Execution of Notes.  The Notes shall be 
                    ------------------
signed on behalf of the Company, manually or in facsimile, by its
Chairman of the Board or its President or a Vice President under
its corporate seal (which may be in facsimile) reproduced thereon
and attested, manually or in facsimile, by its Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary.  Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form
hereinbefore recited, signed manually by the Trustee, shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.  Such signature by the Trustee upon
any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence
that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

    In case any officer of the Company whose signature appears
on any of the Notes, manually or in facsimile, shall cease to be
such officer before such Notes so signed shall have been
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Notes
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the
person whose signature appears on such Notes had not ceased to be
such officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed, and the
corporate seal reproduced thereon may be attested, on behalf of
the Company, manually or in facsimile, by persons as, at the
actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper
officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of
this Indenture any such person was not such officer.

    SECTION 2.05.  Exchange and transfer of Notes.  
                    ------------------------------

    (a)  Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.05:

    agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with
    the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Company shall
    execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
    exchange therefor the Note or Notes which the noteholder
    making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

         (2)  The Company shall keep, at the office or agency to

    provisions of Section 4.02, a register or registers in
    which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
    prescribe, the Company shall register Notes and shall
    register the transfer of Notes as in this Article Two
    provided.  Upon surrender by any noteholder for registration
    of transfer of any Note at such office or agency, the
    Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
    deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new
    Note or Notes for a like aggregate principal amount.

         (3)  All Notes presented or surrendered for exchange,
    registration of transfer, redemption, purchase or payment
    shall, if so required by the Company or the Trustee or any
    Note registrar (if other than the Trustee), be accompanied
    by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form
    satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee or the Note
    registrar (if other than the Trustee), duly executed by the
    registered holder or by his attorney duly authorized in

                                40

writing and, in every case, each Note presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer shall be accompanied by the
assignment form attached to the Notes, duly executed by the
registered holder or by his attorney duly authorized in writing.

         (4)  No service charge shall be made for any exchange
    or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may
    require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax,
    assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed
    in relation thereto.

         (5)  The Company shall not be required to issue,
    register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period
    of fifteen days next preceding any date for the selection of
    Notes to be redeemed.  The Company shall not be required to
    register the transfer of or exchange any Note called or
    being called for redemption except, in the case of any Note
    to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so
    redeemed.  The Company shall not be required to register the
    transfer of or exchange any Note in respect of which a
    Change of Control Purchase Notice or an Asset Sale Purchase
    Notice has been given (unless such notice has been withdrawn
    in accordance with Section 3.06 or 4.14) except, in the case
    of any Note to be purchased in part, the portion thereof not
    to be so purchased.

    is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on
    Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such
    information regarding the Company as it has requested

transfer and exchange of an interest in the Global Note or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the

applicable restrictions on transfer set forth therein, if any)
and the procedures of the Depository therefor which shall include
restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to
the extent required by the Securities Act of 1933.

    (e)  Transfers from the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. 
          ----------------------------------------------------
If, at any time, an owner of a beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note wishes to transfer its
beneficial interest in such Regulation S Temporary Global Note to
a Person who is permitted to take delivery thereof in the form of
an interest in the Global Note or to a Person who is taking
delivery of such beneficial interest in the form of Certificated
Notes or, upon expiration of the 40-day restricted period and
upon certification of beneficial ownership of the Notes
represented by the Regulation S Temporary Global Note by non-U.S.
Persons or U.S. Persons who purchased such Notes in transactions
that did not require registration under the Securities Act of
1933, to exchange such beneficial interest for Certificated
Notes, such owner shall, subject to the applicable procedures of
the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest
for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Global Note or for
Certificated Notes as provided in this Section 2.05(e).  Upon
receipt by the Trustee of (1) instructions from the Depository,
directing the Trustee, as a Note registrar, to credit or cause to
be credited a beneficial interest in the Global Note or to issue
and authenticate Certificated Notes in an amount equal to the
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note to
be transferred or exchanged, such instructions to contain
information regarding the participant account with the Depository
to be credited with such increase or the name and address of the
transferee thereof, as applicable, and (2) a certificate in the
form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto given by the owner of such 
        -----------
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note
stating (A) if the transfer is pursuant to Rule 144A, that the
Person transferring such interest in the Regulation S Temporary
Global Note reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such
interest in the Global Note is a QIB and is obtaining such
beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of
Rule 144A and any applicable blue sky or securities laws of any
state of the United States or (B) if the transfer is pursuant to
any other exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, that the transfer of such interest has
been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable
to the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and pursuant to and in
accordance with the requirements of the exemption claimed, such
statement, in the case of clause (B), to be supported by an
Opinion of Counsel from the transferee or the transferor in form
reasonably acceptable to the Company and to the Note registrar,
then the Trustee, as Note registrar, shall instruct the
Depository to reduce or cause to be reduced the aggregate
principal amount of such Regulation S Temporary Global Note and
(x) shall instruct the Depository to increase or cause to be
increased the aggregate principal amount of the Global Note and
instruct the Depository to credit or cause to be credited to the
account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial
interest in the Global Note or (y) shall issue and authenticate
Certificated Notes in an amount equal to the principal amount of
the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note
to be exchanged or transferred, and the Trustee, as Note
registrar, shall instruct the Depository to debit or cause to be
debited from the account of the Person making such transfer the
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note
that is being exchanged or transferred.

    (f)  Private Placement Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange 
          ------------------------
or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend,
the Note registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the
Private Placement Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
Note registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private
Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the
third anniversary of the Issue Date (or such shorter period
permitted under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933 (or
any successor provision)), (ii) such Notes have been sold

                                43
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

pursuant to a registration statement which has been declared
effective under the Securities Act of 1933 or (iii) there is
delivered to the Note registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that
neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are
required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act of 1933.

    (g)  General.  By its acceptance of any Note bearing the 
          -------
Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges
the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this
Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it
will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.

         The Note registrar shall retain copies of all letters,
notices and other written communications received pursuant to
Section 2.09 of this Indenture or this Section 2.05.  The Company
shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such
letters, notices or other written communications at any
reasonable time during the Note registrar's normal business hours
upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Note
registrar.

    SECTION 2.06.  Temporary Notes.  Pending the preparation of 
                    ---------------
definitive Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed, lithographed
or typewritten) of any authorized denomination and substantially
in the form of the definitive Notes, but with or without a
recital of specific redemption prices and with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Notes, all as may be determined by the Company.  Temporary Notes
may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as
may be appropriate.  Every temporary Note shall be authenticated
by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Notes. 
Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and deliver to
the Trustee definitive Notes and thereupon any or all temporary
Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the office or
agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal
aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes.  Until so
exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture, and shall be subject
to the same provisions hereof, as definitive Notes authenticated
and delivered hereunder.

    SECTION 2.07.  Mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.  
                    ------------------------------------------
In case any temporary or definitive Note shall become mutilated
or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company, in the case of any
mutilated Note shall, and in the case of any destroyed, lost or
stolen Note may, execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Note bearing a number, letter or
other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding in
exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of
and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen,
or, instead of issuing a substituted Note, if any such Note shall
have matured or shall be about to mature or shall have been
selected for redemption or if the Company shall have received a
Change of Control Purchase Notice or an Asset Sale Purchase
Notice in respect of any such Note (unless such notice has been
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.06 or 4.14, respectively),
the Company may pay the same without surrender thereof except in
the case of a mutilated Note.  In every case the applicant for a
substituted Note or for such payment shall furnish to the Company
and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required
by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to
the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership
thereof.  The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Note
and deliver the same, or the Trustee or any paying agent of the
Company may make any such payment, upon the written request or
authorization of any officer of the Company.  Upon the issuance
of any substituted Note, the 

                                44
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.

    Every substituted Note issued pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.07 shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Company whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

    All Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition
that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Notes, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all
other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute
existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.

    SECTION 2.08.  Cancellation of surrendered Notes.  All Notes 
                    ---------------------------------
surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, purchase by
the Company at the option of the holder, exchange, substitution
or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the Company
or any paying agent or Note registrar, be delivered to the
Trustee and the same, together with Notes surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation, shall be cancelled by it, and no Notes
shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by
any of the provisions of this Indenture.  The Trustee shall
destroy cancelled Notes and shall deliver certificates of
destruction thereof to the Company.  If the Company shall
purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Notes, however, such
purchase or acquisition shall not operate as a payment,
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by
such Notes unless and until the Company, at its option, shall
deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee for cancellation.

    SECTION 2.09.  Restrictive Legends.  Each Global Note and 
                    -------------------
Certificated Note that constitutes a Restricted Security shall
bear the following legend (the "Private Placement Legend") on the
face thereof until the third anniversary of the Issue Date (or
such shorter period permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities
Act of 1933 (or any successor provision)), unless otherwise
agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof:

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER

    ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF
    SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT
    FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION.  THE HOLDER OF
    THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO OFFER,
    SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY PRIOR TO THE
    DATE WHICH IS THREE YEARS (OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD
    PERMITTED UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
    1933 (OR A SUCCESSOR CLAUSE)) AFTER THE LATER OF THE
    ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH

    OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN
    THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A,
    (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS WHO
    MAKE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS TO THE TRUSTEE WHICH OFFERS AND
    SALES OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF
    REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, (E) TO AN
    INSTITUTIONAL "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" WITHIN THE MEANING OF
    SUBPARAGRAPH (a)(1),(2),(3) OR (7) OF RULE 501 UNDER THE
    SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 THAT IS ACQUIRING THE SECURITY FOR
    ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SUCH AN INSTITUTIONAL
    "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A

                          ARTICLE THREE

                REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES OF NOTES

    SECTION 3.01.  Redemption prices.  The Company may, at its 
                    -----------------
option, redeem at any time all or from time to time any part of
the Notes, on any date prior to maturity at the redemption prices
specified in the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to but excluding the date fixed for redemption and in the
manner set forth in this Article Three.  The Company, however,
shall not have the right to redeem any of the Notes prior to
October 15, 2001.

    SECTION 3.02.  Notice of redemption; selection of Notes.  In 
                    ----------------------------------------
case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem
all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes in accordance
with the right reserved so to do, the Company, or, at the
Company's request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company, shall fix a date for redemption and give notice of
such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed as
hereinafter in this Section 3.02 provided.

    Notice of redemption shall be given to the holders of Notes
to be redeemed as a whole or in part by mailing by first-class
mail a notice of such redemption not less than fifteen nor more
than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to their
last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books of
the Company, but any failure to give such notice by mailing to
the holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in
part, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any other Notes.

    Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the holder receives the notice.

                                48
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

    Each such notice of redemption shall specify the total
principal amount to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption
and the redemption price at which Notes are to be redeemed, and
shall state that payment of the redemption price of the Notes to
be redeemed will be made at the office or agency to be maintained
by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02,
upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest
accrued to but not including the date fixed for redemption will
be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said
date interest thereon will cease to accrue and that the only
remaining right of the noteholder is to receive payment of the
redemption price plus such accrued interest upon surrender.  If
less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of
redemption to each holder also shall state the aggregate
principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and shall identify the
Notes of such holder to be redeemed.  In case any Note is
redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note
shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed (which shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof),
and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption,
upon surrender of such Note, the holder will receive, without
charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in the
principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed.  Each notice shall
give the name and address of each paying agent.

    On or prior to the date fixed for redemption specified in
the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02,
the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more
paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying
agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 4.04(c)) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the
date fixed for redemption all the Notes or portions of Notes so
called for redemption (other than Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by
the Company to the Trustee for cancellation) at the applicable
redemption price, together with accrued interest to but not
including the date fixed for redemption.  

    If less than all the Notes then outstanding are to be
redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee, at least
twenty-five days (or such shorter period acceptable to the
Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption, notice of
the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, and
thereupon the Trustee shall select in such manner as it shall
deem appropriate and fair, in its discretion, the Notes or
portions thereof to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly
notify the Company of the Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed within a sufficient period of time in order that the
notice provision in Section 3.02 may be satisfied.

    SECTION 3.03.  When Notes called for redemption become due 
                    -------------------------------------------
and payable.  If the giving of notice of redemption shall have 
-----------
been completed as provided in Section 3.02, the Notes or portions
of Notes specified in such notice shall become due and payable on
the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued to (but not
including) the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such
date fixed for redemption (unless the Company shall default in
the payment of such Notes at the redemption price, together with
interest accrued to (but not including) the date fixed for
redemption) interest on the Notes or portions of Notes so called
for redemption shall cease to accrue whether or not such Notes
are presented for payment and such Notes or portions thereof
shall be deemed not to be outstanding hereunder and shall not be
entitled to any right or benefit hereunder except to receive
payment of the redemption price plus accrued interest to but not
including the redemption date.  On presentation and surrender of
such Notes for redemption at said place of payment in said notice
specified on or after the date fixed for redemption, the said
Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued to (but not
including) the date fixed for redemption.  If the date fixed for
redemption is an interest payment date, such payment shall not
include accrued interest, which interest shall be paid in the
usual manner 

                                49
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

otherwise provided for herein.  Upon presentation of any Note
which is redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and
register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
holder thereof at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes
in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note
so presented.

    SECTION 3.04.  Cancellation of redeemed Notes.  All Notes 
                    ------------------------------
surrendered to the Trustee, upon redemption pursuant to the
provisions of this Article Three, shall be forthwith cancelled by
it.

    SECTION 3.05.  Purchase of Notes at option of the holder 
                    -----------------------------------------
upon Change of Control.
----------------------

    (a)  If on or prior to maturity, there shall have
occurred a Change of Control, the Company shall offer to purchase
each Note at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but
not including) the Change of Control Purchase Date (the "Change
of Control Purchase Price"), on the date that is thirty Business
Days after the occurrence of the Change of Control (the "Change
of Control Purchase Date"), subject to the satisfaction by or on
behalf of the holder of the requirements set forth in Section
3.05(c).  Following a Change of Control, the Company shall not be
obligated to purchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 3.05(a)
or give any notice under Section 3.05(b) with respect to any
subsequent Change of Control.  The Company's obligation to
purchase Notes as provided hereunder shall for all purposes
hereof be satisfied by, and shall cease upon, the deposit of
funds with the Trustee as provided for in Section 3.07.

    A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred at
such time as MAXXAM, directly or indirectly, shall cease to have
(other than by reason of the existence of a Lien but including by
reason of the foreclosure of or other realization upon a Lien)
direct or indirect sole beneficial ownership (as defined under
Regulation 13d-3 of the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of
this Indenture) of at least 40% of the total Voting Stock, on a
fully diluted basis, of the Company; provided, however, that such
ownership by MAXXAM, directly or indirectly, of 30% or greater,
but less than 40%, of the total Voting Stock, on a fully diluted
basis, of the Company shall not be a Change of Control if MAXXAM,
through direct representation or through persons nominated by it,
controls a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company
necessary to effectuate any actions by the Board of Directors of
the Company; and provided, further, that the foregoing minimum
percentages shall be deemed not satisfied if any person or group
(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act as in effect
on the date of this Indenture) shall, directly or indirectly, own
more of the total Voting Stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors of the Company than MAXXAM.

    "Voting Stock" means, with respect to any person, the
capital stock of such person having general voting power under
ordinary circumstances to elect at least a majority of the board
of directors, managers or trustees of such person (irrespective
of whether or not at the time capital stock of any other class or
classes shall have or might have voting power by reason of the
happening of any contingency).

    (b)  Within ten Business Days after the occurrence of a
Change of Control, the Company shall mail a written notice of
Change of Control by first-class mail to the Trustee and to each
holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law,
including without limitation, Rule 13e-4 of the Exchange Act, if
applicable) and shall cause a copy of such notice to be published
in a daily newspaper of national circulation.  The notice shall
include a form of Change of Control Purchase Notice (as described
below) to be completed by the holder and shall state:

         (1)     the events causing a Change of Control and the date
    of such Change of Control;

                                50
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

         (2) the date by which the Change of Control Purchase
    Notice pursuant to this Section 3.05 must be given;

         (3) the Change of Control Purchase Date;

         (4) the Change of Control Purchase Price;

         (5) the name and address of the Trustee and the office
    or agency referred to in Section 4.02;

         (6) that the Notes must be surrendered to the Trustee
    or the office or agency referred to in Section 4.02 to
    collect payment;

         (7) that the Change of Control Purchase Price for any
    Note as to which a Change of Control Purchase Notice has
    been duly given and not withdrawn will be paid promptly
    following the later of the Change of Control Purchase Date
    and the time of surrender of such Note as described in (6);

         (8) the procedures the holder must follow to exercise
    rights under this Section 3.05 and a brief description of
    those rights; and

         (9) the procedures for withdrawing a Change of Control
    Purchase Notice.

    (c)  To accept the offer to purchase Notes described in
Section 3.05(a), a holder must deliver a written notice of
purchase (a "Change of Control Purchase Notice") to the Trustee
or to the office or agency referred to in Section 4.02 at any
time prior to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date,
stating:

         (1) the name of the holder, the principal amount of
    Notes, the certificate number or numbers of the Note or
    Notes which the holder will deliver to be purchased and a
    statement that the offer to purchase is being accepted;

         (2) the portion of the principal amount of the Note
    which the holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion
    must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

         (3) that such Note shall be purchased on the Change of
    Control Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions
    specified in the Notes.

    The delivery of the Note, by hand or by registered mail
prior to, on or after the Change of Control Purchase Date
(together with all necessary endorsements), to the Trustee or to
the office or agency referred to in Section 4.02 shall be a
condition to the receipt by the holder of the Change of Control
Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Change of
Control Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section
3.05 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee or such office
or agency shall conform in all respects to the description
thereof set forth in the related Change of Control Purchase
Notice; and provided, further that the Company shall have no
obligation to purchase any Notes with respect to which the Change
of Control Purchase Notice has not been received by the Company
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date.

                                51
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

    In the event that the offer to purchase described in Section
3.05(a) shall be accepted in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Company shall purchase from the holder thereof, pursuant to
this Section 3.05, a portion of a Note if the principal amount of
such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. 
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of
a Note also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Note.

    Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be consummated by the
delivery by the Trustee or other paying agent of the
consideration to be received by the holder promptly following the
later of the Change of Control Purchase Date and the time of
delivery of the Note.

    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder
delivering to the Trustee or to the office or agency referred to
in Section 4.02, the Change of Control Purchase Notice
contemplated by this Section 3.05(c) shall have the right to
withdraw such Change of Control Purchase Notice by delivery of a
written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee or to such office or
agency in accordance with Section 3.06 at any time prior to the
close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change
of Control Purchase Date.

    SECTION 3.06.  Effect of Change of Control Purchase Notice. 
                    -------------------------------------------
Upon receipt by the Company of the Change of Control Purchase
Notice specified in Section 3.05(c), the holder of the Note in
respect of which such Change of Control Purchase Notice was given
shall (unless such Change of Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn
as specified in the following paragraph) thereafter be entitled
to receive solely the Change of Control Purchase Price with
respect to such Note.  Such Change of Control Purchase Price
shall be due and payable as of the Change of Control Purchase
Date and shall be paid to such holder promptly following the
later of (x) the Change of Control Purchase Date (provided the
conditions in Section 3.05(c), as applicable, have been
satisfied) and (y) the date of delivery of such Note to the
Trustee or to the office or agency referred to in Section 4.02 by
the holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.05(c). 

    A Change of Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by
means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office
of the Trustee or to the office or agency referred to in Section
4.02 at any time on or prior to the close of business on the
Business Day next preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date,

which remains subject to the original Change of Control Purchase
Notice, and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by
the Company.

    There shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to Section
3.05 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case
may be, the giving, by the holders of such Notes, of the required
Change of Control Purchase Notice), and is continuing an Event of
Default (other than a default in the payment of the Change of
Control Purchase Price with respect to such Notes).

                    -------------------------------------------
On or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee (or, if the Company or a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as paying
agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section
4.04(c)) an amount of cash in immediately available funds
sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price
of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be purchased on
the Change of Control Purchase Date.  Upon such deposit, the
Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to
purchase Notes pursuant to Section 3.05.  If cash sufficient to
pay the Change of Control Purchase Price of all Notes or portions
thereof to be purchased on the Change of Control Purchase Date is
deposited with the Trustee as of the Change of Control Purchase
Date, interest shall cease to accrue (whether or not any such
Note is delivered to the Trustee or any other office or agency
maintained for such purpose) on such Notes (or portions thereof)
on and after the Change of Control Purchase Date, and the holders
thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right
to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price, upon surrender
of such Notes).

                    --------------------------------------------
purchase of Notes.  In connection with any offer to purchase or 
-----------------
any purchase of securities under Section 3.05 hereof, the Company
shall (i) comply with Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act (or
any successor provision thereof), if applicable, and (ii)
otherwise comply with all Federal and state securities laws
regulating the purchase of the Notes so as to permit the rights
and obligations under Section 4.05 to be exercised in the time
and in the manner specified in Sections 4.05 and 4.06.

                    -------------------------
return to the Company any cash, together with interest or
dividends, if any, thereon (subject to the provisions of Section
7.05) held by it for the payment of the Change of Control
Purchase Price of the Notes that remain unclaimed as provided in
Section 12.04 hereof; provided, however, that to the extent that
the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to
Section 3.07 exceeds the aggregate Change of Control Purchase
Price of the Notes or portions thereof to be purchased on the
Change of Control Purchase Date, then promptly after the Change
of Control Purchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such
excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if
any, thereon (subject to the provisions of Section 7.05).

Affiliate or Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company, unless:

         (i) the terms thereof are no less favorable to the

    reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable
    transaction with an unrelated Person,

         (ii)    such transaction or series of related transactions
    shall have been approved as meeting such standard, in good

    such Non-Affiliate Joint Venture shall not be required to
    procure any such opinion to the extent that such transaction
    involves the purchase or sale for cash of Principal Products
    from or to an Unrestricted Subsidiary (which Principal
    Products are used by the purchaser thereof in its operations
    in the ordinary course of business).

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 60 days after
the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, an Officers'
Certificate which (x) shall specify the aggregate dollar amount
of transactions (other than transactions referred to in Section
4.08(b) or in the proviso at the end of clause (iii) of this
Section 4.08(a)) with Affiliates or Unrestricted Subsidiaries of
the Company occurring during such fiscal quarter, and (y) with
respect to any transaction with an Affiliate or Unrestricted
Subsidiary of the Company, or series of related transactions
(other than transactions referred to in Section 4.08(b) or in the

    insurance in connection therewith,

    rate thereon, or any other amendment thereto that does not
    materially adversely affect the holders of the Notes,

         (viii)  the dividend by the Company of all or any
    portion of the Existing Intercompany Note and accrued
    interest thereon,

    to the Company, provided, however, that, to the extent the
    proceeds are so used, a sale of Capital Stock or capital
    contribution permitted by this clause (II) shall be excluded
    in determining the aggregate net proceeds received by the
    Company referred to under clause (II) of Section 4.09(a);

    received by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor from the
    issue or sale (other than an issuance or sale to the
    Company, a Non-Affiliate Joint Venture or a Subsidiary or
    Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company), after the date of
    the 9-7/8% Note Indenture, of Indebtedness that is
    subordinated (pursuant to its terms) in right and priority
    of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor's
    obligation under its Guarantee, as the case may be, and that

    Indenture, provided, that, to the extent the proceeds of
    Indebtedness so subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary
    Guarantor's obligation under its Guarantee, as the case may
    be, are so used, the net proceeds of issuance of any such
    Indebtedness upon conversion into Capital Stock shall not be

    be, by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the
    substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Non-Affiliate
    Joint Venture or to a Subsidiary or an Unrestricted
    Subsidiary of the Company) of Capital Stock (other than
    Redeemable Stock) of the Company, provided, however, that,

    Affiliate of the Company and that, at the time of each such
    payment, the Company is in compliance with clause (A) of
    Section 4.09(a);

    had been a liability or obligation of the Company, any of
    its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Non-Affiliate Joint
    Venture) and Unrestricted Subsidiary Investments Outstanding
    made pursuant to this clause (VIII) to or in MAXXAM or any
    Affiliate of MAXXAM, less (B) the aggregate amount of such
    Restricted Payments and Restricted Investments made to or in
    KAC which are distributed or paid within thirty days
    thereafter by KAC to its holders of Common Stock other than
    MAXXAM and Affiliates of MAXXAM, would exceed
    (C) $20,000,000; and

    and any other preferred stock of KAC the proceeds of which
    gave rise to a Preferred Dividend Intercompany Note, in an
    aggregate amount not to exceed the outstanding principal
    amount of such Preferred Dividend Intercompany Notes at the
    time of such merger.

No payments and other transfers made under clauses (II) through
(VII) and (IX) of this Section 4.09(b) shall reduce the amount
available for Restricted Payments, Restricted Investments and
Unrestricted Subsidiary Investments under Section 4.09(a);
payments and other transfers made under clauses (I) and (VIII) of
this Section 4.09(b) shall reduce the amount available for
Restricted Payments, Restricted Investments and Unrestricted
Subsidiary Investments under Section 4.09(a).

    The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any
Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such designation
would not cause an Event of Default (or event that, after notice
or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default).  For
purposes of making such determination, all outstanding
Unrestricted Subsidiary Investments by the Company and its
Subsidiaries in the Unrestricted Subsidiary so designated will be
deemed to be Unrestricted Subsidiary Investments Outstanding at
the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available
for Restricted Payments, Restricted Investments and Unrestricted
Subsidiary Investments under Section 4.09(a).  All such
Unrestricted Subsidiary Investments Outstanding will be deemed to
have been made at the time of such designation and to be in an
amount equal to the greater of (A) the net book value of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary Investments at the time of such
designation and (B) the Fair Market Value of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary Investments at the time of such designation.  Such
designation will only be permitted if such Unrestricted
Subsidiary Investments would be permitted at such time and if
such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary.

Alpart may Incur preferred stock (including preference stock) or
Indebtedness (including, without duplication, guarantees of
Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries otherwise

equal to the weighted average interest rate on the Indebtedness
then outstanding under

     percentage ownership interest in Alpart; provided, however,
     that the aggregate Indebtedness (without duplication)
     Incurred pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of this clause
     (b)(iii) may not exceed $150,000,000 at any one time
     outstanding; and provided, further, that in each case the
     proceeds of such Indebtedness are used solely for capital

         (iv)  the Company and/or KAAC (without duplication) may
     Incur Indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $75,000,000 at
     any one time outstanding, the proceeds of which are used
     solely for capital improvements and expenditures, expansion
     and working capital with respect to QAL and/or to reimburse
     the stockholders of QAL for advances to QAL used solely for

     expenses in connection with the Incurrence of such
     Indebtedness;

         (vi)  the Company and its Subsidiaries may Incur
     Indebtedness ("Refinancing Indebtedness") that serves to
     Refinance, in whole or in part, the Indebtedness permitted
     by 

                                63

<PAGE>

     clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.10 (the "Refinanced
     Indebtedness"), or any one or more successive Refinancings
     of any thereof; provided, however, that:

               (A)  such Refinancing Indebtedness is in an
         aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of
         such Refinanced Indebtedness (including accrued
         interest thereon and undrawn amounts under credit
         arrangements otherwise permitted to be Incurred
         pursuant to this Indenture), the amount of any premium
         required to be paid in connection with such Refinancing
         pursuant to the terms of such Refinanced Indebtedness
         or the amount of any reasonable and customary premium
         determined by the Company to be necessary to accomplish
         such Refinancing by means of a redemption, tender
         offer, privately negotiated transaction, defeasance or
         other similar transaction, and an amount equal to the
         reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the
         Incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness;

               (B)  neither the Company nor any of its
         Subsidiaries is an obligor of such Refinancing
         Indebtedness, except to the extent that such Person (I)
         was an obligor of such Refinanced Indebtedness or
         (II) is otherwise permitted, at the time such
         Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred, to be an obligor
         of such Refinancing Indebtedness; and

               (C)  in the case of any Refinanced Indebtedness
         that is subordinated (pursuant to its terms) in right
         and priority of payment to the Notes or any Subsidiary
         Guarantor's obligation under its Guarantee, as the case
         may be, such Refinancing Indebtedness (I) has a final
         maturity and weighted average maturity at least as long
         as such Refinanced Indebtedness and (II) is
         subordinated (pursuant to its terms) in right and
         priority of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary
         Guarantor's obligation under  its Guarantee, as the
         case may be, at least to the same extent as such
         Refinanced Indebtedness;

         (vii) the Company may Incur Capitalized Lease
     Obligations not exceeding $50,000,000 at any one time
     outstanding in connection with the sale and leaseback of all
     or a portion of the Company's interest in the Center for
     Technology, provided that the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom
     are applied as provided by Section 4.14;

         (viii)     the Company and its Subsidiaries may Incur
     Indebtedness, without duplication, the proceeds of which are
     used, directly or indirectly, (A) to finance the
     construction, acquisition and/or retrofitting of (I) a
     bauxite mine or mines and/or related facilities, (II) an
     alumina refinery or refineries, and/or related facilities,
     (III) an aluminum smelter or smelters and/or related
     facilities, and/or (IV) a fabrication plant or plants and/or
     related facilities (and, in each case, any direct or
     indirect interests therein; collectively, the "Facilities")
     and the reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the
     Incurrence of such Indebtedness, in an aggregate amount not
     to exceed $150,000,000 in any fiscal year (without
     cumulation of unused amounts to successive years); provided,
     however, that the aggregate amount of Indebtedness Incurred
     pursuant to subclause (A)(IV) of this clause (viii) shall
     not exceed $75,000,000 in any fiscal year (without
     cumulation of unused amounts to successive years), (B) to
     Refinance, in whole or in part, any Indebtedness permitted
     by this clause (viii) (including Indebtedness owed to the
     Company or a Subsidiary of the Company), or any one or more
     successive Refinancings of any thereof, provided, however,
     that such Refinancing Indebtedness is in an aggregate amount
     not to exceed the aggregate amount of such Refinanced
     Indebtedness, the amount of any premium required to be paid
     in connection with such Refinancing pursuant to the terms of
     such Refinanced 

                                64

     Indebtedness or the amount of any reasonable and customary
     premium determined by the Company to be necessary to
     accomplish such Refinancing by means of a redemption, tender
     offer, privately negotiated transaction, defeasance, or
     other similar transaction, and an amount equal to the
     reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the
     Incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness and/or (C) to
     provide working capital in connection with or in respect of
     any of the Facilities and the reasonable fees and expenses
     in connection with the Incurrence of such Indebtedness,
     provided that (x) the amount of such Indebtedness that may
     be Incurred pursuant to this subclause (C) shall not exceed
     $40,000,000 in any fiscal year (without cumulation of unused
     amounts to successive years), and provided, further, that
     the aggregate amount of any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant
     to subclauses (A) and (C) of this clause (viii) shall not
     exceed $150,000,000 in any fiscal year (without cumulation
     of unused amounts to successive years), and (y) for purposes
     of computing the amount of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to
     this clause (viii) at any time in any fiscal year, the
     amount of Indebtedness Incurred by any Subsidiary of the
     Company pursuant to this clause (viii) under lines of credit
     and/or revolving credit agreements in such fiscal year to
     such time shall not be deemed to exceed the amount of the
     net borrowings (i.e., aggregate borrowings during such
     fiscal year less aggregate repayments during such fiscal
     year) by such Subsidiary under lines of credit and/or
     revolving credit agreements to such time;

         (ix)  [intentionally omitted];

         (x)   the Company and its Subsidiaries may Incur
     preferred stock (including preference stock) that is not
     Redeemable Stock; provided, however, that in the case of
     preferred stock (including preference stock) Incurred by any
     Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Subsidiary
     Guarantor, such preferred stock shall be issued pro rata to
     the holders of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary;

         (xi)  the Company and its Subsidiaries may Incur
     preferred stock (including preferred stock and preference
     stock that is Redeemable Stock), provided that such
     preferred stock or preference stock is issued to the
     Company, any of its Subsidiaries or pro rata to the holders
     of Capital Stock of any such Subsidiary;

         (xii) the Company and its Subsidiaries may Incur
     Permitted Indebtedness; and

         (xiii)     the Company and its Subsidiaries may Incur
     Indebtedness in an amount at any one time outstanding not to
     exceed $75,000,000, provided that the amount of such
     Indebtedness that may be Incurred by Subsidiaries of the
     Company (other than Subsidiary Guarantors that are not
     Permitted Entities) shall not exceed $50,000,000 at any one
     time outstanding, and provided, further, that, to the extent
     any such Indebtedness is Incurred from a Bank or an
     affiliate thereof, the Bank Guarantors may guarantee such
     Indebtedness.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary of the
Company shall assume, guarantee or in any other manner become
liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or a
Subsidiary Guarantor (other than such Subsidiary) ("Other
Indebtedness") which is subordinated (pursuant to its terms) in
right and priority of payment to any other Indebtedness of the
Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, unless such Subsidiary also
assumes, guarantees or otherwise becomes liable with respect to
the Notes on a substantially similar basis for so long as such
Subsidiary is liable with respect to such Other Indebtedness;
provided, however, that if such Other Indebtedness is
subordinated (pursuant to its 

                                65
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

terms) in right and priority of payment to the Notes or any
Subsidiary Guarantor's obligation under its Guarantee, as the
case may be, any such assumption, guarantee or other liability of
such Subsidiary with respect to such Other Indebtedness shall be
subordinated to such Subsidiary's assumption, guarantee or other
liability with respect to the Notes to the same extent as such
subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such
Subsidiary Guarantor's obligation under its Guarantee, as the
case may be; and provided, further, that this paragraph shall not
be applicable to any assumption, guarantee or other liability of
any Subsidiary of the Company which existed at the time such
Person became a Subsidiary of the Company and was not Incurred in
connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a
Subsidiary of the Company, or any Refinancing Indebtedness in
connection therewith complying with Section 4.10(b)(vi)
(provided, that the guarantee of such Refinancing Indebtedness is
on substantially the same terms as the guarantee of the
Refinanced Indebtedness).  In the event that any Subsidiary of
the Company (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) is required to
guarantee the Notes pursuant to the next preceding sentence, the
Company shall cause such Subsidiary to (a) execute and deliver to
the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such
Subsidiary shall be named as an additional Subsidiary Guarantor
for so long as such Subsidiary Guarantor is so obligated with
respect to such Other Indebtedness and (b) deliver to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that
such supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered
by such Person.

     (d) For the purpose of determining compliance with this
Section 4.10, in the event that any Indebtedness is permitted to
be Incurred pursuant to more than one clause of Section 4.10(b),
the Incurrence of such Indebtedness shall not limit the amount of
Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred, and shall not be
required to be included under more than one such clause.

     SECTION 4.11.  Limitation on Liens.
                    -------------------

     (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien upon any of their respective U.S. Fixed Assets to secure,
directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness, unless the Notes are
equally and ratably secured on a senior basis for so long as such
secured Indebtedness is so secured.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section
4.11 shall not prohibit:

         (i)   Liens on the Permitted Collateral securing
     outstanding Indebtedness permitted by this Indenture in an
     aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Maximum Secured
     Amount at the time such Indebtedness is Incurred;

         (ii)  Liens in existence on the date of this Indenture
     after giving effect thereto which Liens, if such Liens
     secure a single or related items of Indebtedness in a
     principal amount in excess of $5,000,000, are referred to in
     Schedule A hereto;

         (iii) Liens in favor of the Company or any
     Subsidiary Guarantor;

     such merger or consolidation and do not extend to any other
     U.S. Fixed Assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
     Company;

         (v)   Liens on U.S. Fixed Assets existing at the time of
     acquisition thereof by the Company or any Subsidiary of the
     Company, provided, that such Liens were in existence prior
     to the contemplation of such acquisition and do not extend
     to any other U.S. Fixed Assets of the Company or any
     Subsidiary of the Company;

         (vi)  Liens securing Indebtedness permitted by clauses
     (vii) and (viii) of Section 4.10(b), provided, that such
     Liens do not extend to any U.S. Fixed Assets other than the
     Center for Technology in the case of clause (vii) and the
     applicable Facility or Facilities in the case of
     clause (viii), and, in each case, together with any
     Improvements thereto or thereon and any proceeds thereof; 

         (vii) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted by
     clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness;

         (viii)     Liens securing the Indebtedness permitted by
     clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 4.10(b), provided that
     such Liens do not extend to any U.S. Fixed Assets other than
     (a) Permitted Collateral (in which case the principal amount
     of such Indebtedness shall be included in the calculation of
     the Maximum Secured Amount for purposes of clause (i) of
     this paragraph and such Liens shall only be permitted if the
     requirements of clause (i) are satisfied) and (b) the
     Capital Stock and assets of Alpart, KJC and AJI in the case
     of clause (iii), the Capital Stock and assets of KAAC in the
     case of clause (iv), and the Capital Stock and assets of
     VALCO in the case of clause (v), plus, in each case, the
     proceeds thereof;

         (ix)  Liens securing Indebtedness consisting of
     Capitalized Lease Obligations, mortgage financings,
     industrial revenue bonds or other monetary obligations, in
     each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any
     part of the purchase price or cost of construction or
     installation of U.S. Fixed Assets used in the business of
     the Company and its Subsidiaries, or repairs, additions or
     Improvements to such U.S. Fixed Assets, provided, that such
     Liens (a) secure Indebtedness in an amount not in excess of
     the original purchase price or the original cost of any such
     U.S. Fixed Assets or repair, addition or Improvement thereto
     (plus an amount equal to the reasonable fees and expenses in
     connection with the Incurrence of such Indebtedness), (b) do
     not extend to any other U.S. Fixed Assets (other than
     Improvements thereto or thereon and any proceeds thereof) of
     the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (and, in the
     case of a repair, addition or Improvement, such Lien extends
     only to the U.S. Fixed Assets (and Improvements thereto or
     thereon) repaired, added to or improved), and (c) secure
     Indebtedness incurred no later than 180 days after the
     acquisition or final completion of such construction,
     repair, addition or Improvement;

         (x)   Liens securing any Refinancings (in whole or in
     part) of any Indebtedness secured by the Liens described in
     clauses (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) or (ix) of this
     paragraph, and any successive Refinancings of any thereof
     (together with any increased amount of such Indebtedness
     specifically permitted pursuant to Section 4.10(b) (to cover
     the reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with
     a Refinancing)), provided that each such Lien (unless
     otherwise permitted by this paragraph) does not extend to
     any additional U.S. Fixed Assets (other than Improvements
     thereto or thereon and any proceeds thereof);

         (xi)  Liens on U.S. Fixed Assets securing Indebtedness
     in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,000,000;
     and

                                67
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

         (xii) Liens on any U.S. Fixed Assets consisting of
     easements, covenants, restrictions, exceptions, reservations
     and similar matters which do not materially impair the use
     of such U.S. Fixed Assets for the uses for which it is held
     and which Liens are granted to secure Indebtedness secured
     by Liens permitted by the foregoing clauses (i) through
     (xi).

     (c) For purposes of this Section 4.11, the Notes will be
considered equally and ratably secured on a senior basis with any
other Lien if the Lien securing the Notes is of at least equal
priority and covers the same U.S. Fixed Assets as such other
Lien, provided, that if the Indebtedness secured by such other
Lien is expressly subordinated in right and priority of payment
by its terms to the Notes, the Lien securing the Notes will be
senior to such other Lien.

     (d) For the purpose of determining compliance with this
Section 4.11, in the event that any Lien is permitted pursuant to
more than one clause of Section 4.11(b), such Lien shall not
limit any other Lien otherwise permitted, and shall not be
required to be included under more than one such clause.

     SECTION 4.12.  Subsidiary guarantees, etc.
                    ---------------------------

     (a) If the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall
transfer or cause to be transferred, in one or a series of
related transactions, any property or assets (including, without
limitation, businesses, divisions, real property, assets or
equipment) to any Subsidiary of the Company or to any
Non-Affiliate Joint Venture of the Company, the Company shall
cause such transferee Subsidiary or Non-Affiliate Joint Venture
to (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee pursuant to which such transferee Subsidiary or
Non-Affiliate Joint Venture shall be named as an additional
Subsidiary Guarantor and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such
supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered by
such Person.

     (b) The provisions set forth in the immediately preceding

         (I)   transfers of Capital Stock or other equity

     Capital Stock or equity interests so transferred is not
     reduced; and

         (J)   other transfers of assets, provided that the
     aggregate amount thereof (if other than cash, such amount
     shall be the Fair Market Value of such asset at the time of
     such transfer), less the aggregate amount of such assets
     returned to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (if
     returned other than in cash, the amount of such assets shall

(other than a Bank Guarantor) or existing or future Non-Affiliate
Joint Ventures shall guarantee, directly or indirectly, or become
a direct obligor with respect to, Indebtedness under the Credit

an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that
such supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered
by such Person.

     (d) Sections 4.12(a) and (b) shall not apply to any

by Section 4.09.

     (e) The Company shall not permit any Permitted Entity to
cease to be a Permitted Entity except:

         (i)   pursuant to a liquidation or dissolution of such
     Permitted Entity or a transfer of all or substantially all

     Equity Owners in proportion to their interests, including by
     way of merger or consolidation of such Permitted Entity with

distribute substantially all of its assets and liabilities to, a
Permitted Entity, provided that, at the time of such merger or
distribution, such Permitted Entity has no more than $50,000 of
assets other than Capital Stock or other similar interests in
VALCO. Upon the consummation of any transaction contemplated by
this clause (f), the entity surviving such merger or distribution
shall not be required (i) to become a Subsidiary Guarantor
pursuant to this Section 4.12 or (ii) if such entity has no
assets except as contemplated in this clause (f) or meets the
conditions of this Section 4.12, to remain a Permitted Entity
pursuant to this Section 4.12.

     SECTION 4.13.  Limitation on dividends and other payment 
                    -----------------------------------------
restrictions affecting Subsidiaries.  The Company shall not, and 
-----------------------------------
shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise suffer
to exist any consensual encumbrances or restrictions on the
ability of any Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other
distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness owed
to the Company or any Subsidiaries of the Company or to make
loans or advances or transfer any of its assets to the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however that this 
                               --------  -------
Section 4.13 shall not prohibit Permitted Dividend Encumbrances.

     SECTION 4.14.  Limitation on Asset Sales.
                    -------------------------

     (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale unless at least 75% of
the consideration therefor received by the Company or such
Subsidiary (exclusive of indemnities) is in the form of cash or
Cash Equivalents, provided that this sentence shall not apply to
the sale or disposition of assets as a result of a foreclosure
(or a secured party taking ownership of such assets in lieu of
foreclosure) or as a result of an involuntary proceeding in which
the Company cannot, directly or through its Subsidiaries, direct
the type of proceeds received.  The amount of (i) any liabilities
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that are actually
assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale, or for which the
Company and its Subsidiaries are fully released, shall be deemed
to be cash for purposes of determining the percentage of cash
consideration received by the Company or its Subsidiaries and
(ii) any notes or other obligations received by the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company from such transferee that are
immediately converted (or are converted within thirty days of the
related Asset Sale) by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash
shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of determining the
percentage of cash consideration received by the Company or its
Subsidiaries.

     (b) The Company shall apply any Net Cash Proceeds received
after the date of this Indenture to (A) the prepayment of
Indebtedness in respect of or under the Credit Agreement and any
other Indebtedness of the Company (other than the Notes) entitled
to receive payment pursuant to the terms thereof (excluding
Indebtedness that is subordinated by its terms to the Notes or
the Guarantee thereof) (the "Specified Pari Passu Indebtedness"),
unless the holders thereof elect not to receive such prepayment
and (B) an offer to purchase (an "Asset Sale Offer") the then
outstanding Notes, on any Business Day occurring no later than
175 days after the receipt by the Company (or any of its
Subsidiaries, if applicable) of such Net Cash Proceeds (the
"Asset Sale Purchase Date," which date shall be deferred to the
extent necessary to permit the Asset Sale Offer to remain open
for the period required by applicable law), at a price (the
"Asset Sale Purchase Price") equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to but not including the Asset Sale Purchase Date pursuant to the
provisions set forth below.  Such Asset Sale Offer with respect
to the Notes shall be in an aggregate 

                                70
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

principal amount (the "Asset Sale Offer Amount") equal to the Net
Cash Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest $1,000) from the Asset
Sales to which the Asset Sale Offer relates multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of the
Notes outstanding (determined as of the close of business on the
day immediately preceding the date notice of such Asset Sale
Offer is mailed) and the denominator of which is the principal
amount of the Notes outstanding plus the aggregate principal
amount of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the
Specified Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding (determined as of
the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date
notice of such Asset Sale Offer is mailed).  If (x) no
Indebtedness is outstanding in respect of or under the Credit
Agreement or the Specified Pari Passu Indebtedness or (y) the
holders of such Indebtedness entitled to receive payment elect
not to receive the payments provided for in the previous
sentence, or (z) the application of such Net Cash Proceeds
results in the complete prepayment of such Indebtedness, then in
each case any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds will be
required to be applied to an Asset Sale Offer to purchase the
Notes.

     (c) Notice of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by the
Company to all holders at their last registered address within
145 days of the receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
of such Net Cash Proceeds.  The Asset Sale Offer shall remain
open from the time of mailing until the last Business Day before
the Asset Sale Purchase Date, but in no event for a period less
than twenty-four days or less than that required by applicable
law.  The notice shall state:

         (1)   that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant
     to this Section 4.14;

         (2)   the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the purchase price
     and the Asset Sale Purchase Date;

         (3)   the name and address of the Trustee and that Notes
     must be surrendered to the Trustee to collect the purchase
     price;

         (4)   that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment
     will continue to accrue interest;

         (5)   that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the
     Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after
     the Asset Sale Purchase Date;

         (6)   that each holder electing to have a Note purchased
     pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be required to
     surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder
     to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note (the "Asset
     Sale Purchase Notice") completed, to the Trustee at the
     address specified in the notice at least five Business Days
     before the Asset Sale Purchase;

         (7)   that holders will be entitled to withdraw their
     election if the Trustee receives, not later than one
     Business Day prior to the Asset Sale Purchase Date, a
     telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting
     forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the
     Notes the holder delivered for purchase, the certificate
     number of each Note the holder delivered for purchase and a
     statement that such holder is withdrawing his, her or its
     election to have such Notes purchased;

                                71
<PAGE>
<PAGE>


         (8)   that if Notes in a principal amount in excess of
     the Asset Sale Offer Amount are surrendered pursuant to the
     Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall purchase Notes on a pro 
                                                             ---
     rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed 
     ----
     appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in
     denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof shall
     be acquired); and

         (9)(x)  that Notes may be purchased in whole or in part
     (in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof)
     and (y) that holders whose Notes are purchased only in part
     will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the
     unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

     On or before the Asset Sale Purchase Date, the Company shall
(i) accept for payment Notes (having denominations of $1,000 or
integral multiples thereof) surrendered pursuant to the Asset
Sale Offer (on a pro rata basis if required pursuant to paragraph 
                 --- ----
(c)(8) above), (ii) deposit by 10:30 a.m. New York City time, on
the Asset Sale Purchase Date, with the Trustee money in
immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Asset Sale
Purchase Price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted and
(iii) deliver Notes so accepted to the Trustee together with an
Officers' Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof
accepted for payment by the Company.  The Trustee shall promptly
mail or deliver to holders of Notes so accepted payment in an
amount equal to the purchase price, and the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver
to such holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.  Any Notes not so
accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered to the holder
thereof.  The Company will publicly announce the results of the
Asset Sale Offer on, or as soon as practicable after, the Asset
Sale Purchase Date. 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to make an Asset Sale Offer until the aggregate amount
of Net Cash Proceeds so to be applied pursuant to this Section
4.14 exceeds $25,000,000 (the "Twenty-Five Million Threshold") 
and then the total amount of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be
required to be so applied in accordance with this Section 4.14. 
The Company may credit against its obligation to offer to
repurchase Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14 the principal
amount of Notes acquired or held by the Company subsequent to the
date of the Asset Sale giving rise to such Asset Sale Offer and
surrendered for cancellation or redeemed or called for redemption
subsequent to such date and not previously used to satisfy any
obligation of the Company to redeem or offer to purchase Notes. 
In no event shall any Net Cash Proceeds that are applied to an
Asset Sale Offer be required to be applied to more than one Asset
Sale Offer.

     (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (a) and (b)
of this Section 4.14, the Company shall have no obligation to
make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to this Section 4.14, if, and
to the extent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries commits
within 140 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to
reinvest (whether by acquisition of an existing business or
expansion, including, without limitation, capital expenditures)
such Net Cash Proceeds in one or more of the lines of business
(including capital expenditures) in which the Company or its
Subsidiaries or its Non-Affiliate Joint Ventures were engaged on
the date of this Indenture or reasonably related extensions of
such lines of business, provided that such Net Cash Proceeds are
substantially so utilized no later than the last day of the
twelfth consecutive month (or, in the event the amount of such
Net Cash Proceeds from a single Asset Sale or series of related
Asset Sales exceeds $200,000,000, the twenty-fourth consecutive
month) following the month in which such Net Cash Proceeds are
received.

     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Asset Sale
consists of a sale of (i) all or a portion of the property, plant
or equipment of the Company's Gramercy alumina refinery or Nevada
micromill, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any
proceeds thereof or (ii) any U.S. Fixed Assets acquired 

                                72
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

after the date of this Indenture which do not constitute
Permitted Collateral, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer
with the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Asset Sale (without
regard to the Twenty-Five Million Threshold) to the extent the
Company has not committed within 140 days of the receipt of such
Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest (whether by acquisition of an
existing business or expansion, including, without limitation,
capital expenditures) such Net Cash Proceeds in U.S. Fixed Assets
(other than Permitted Collateral), provided that such Net Cash
Proceeds are substantially so utilized no later than the last day
of the twelfth consecutive month (or, in the event the amount of
such Net Cash Proceeds from a single Asset Sale or series of
related Asset Sales exceeds $200,000,000, the twenty-fourth
consecutive month) following the month in which such Net Cash
Proceeds are received.

     SECTION 4.15.  Limitations on Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
                    -----------------------------------------
(i) The Company shall not permit any of its Unrestricted
Subsidiaries to guarantee or otherwise directly or indirectly
provide credit support for any Indebtedness of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, (ii) in the event that an Unrestricted
Subsidiary of the Company Incurs Indebtedness that does not
involve an Unrestricted Subsidiary Investment by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant
to the definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiary Investment," the
Company will cause such Unrestricted Subsidiary to notify the
lenders thereof in writing that such lenders will not have any
recourse to the stock or assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and (iii) the Company shall cause each of its
Unrestricted Subsidiaries to have at all times at least one
director on its board of directors that is not a director or
executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and
to have at all times at least one executive officer that is not a
director or executive officer of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (except for any period not exceeding 30 days
following the death or resignation of any such director or
executive officer).

                    --------------------------------------------
names and addresses of noteholders.  The Company will furnish or 
----------------------------------
cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

     (a) semi-annually, not more than fifteen days after each
record date for the payment of interest, a list, in such form as
the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
the noteholders as of such record date as the case may be, and

     (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, within thirty 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 fifteen days prior to the time such list is
furnished;

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee is the Note
registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished.  Any
such list may be dated as of a date not more than fifteen days
prior to the time such information is furnished or caused to be
furnished, and need not include information received after such
date.

     SECTION 5.02. Preservation and disclosure of lists.
                   ------------------------------------

     (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and
addresses of the holders of Notes (1) contained in the most
recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 and (2)
received by it in the capacity of paying agent (if so acting) or
Note registrar.

     The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided
in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

     (b) In case three or more holders of Notes (hereinafter
referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and
furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant
has owned a Note 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 of Notes
with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the
Notes, 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

         (1)   afford such applicants access to the information
     preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the
     provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, or

         (2)   inform such applicants as to the approximate
     number of holders of Notes whose names and addresses appear
     in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in
     accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this
     Section 5.02, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to
     such noteholders 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 noteholder whose name
and address appears in the information preserved at the time by
the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a)
of this Section 5.02, a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable
promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be
mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after
such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file
with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be
mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of
the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests
of the holders of Notes or would be in violation of applicable
law.  Such written statement shall specify the basis of such
opinion.  After opportunity for hearing upon the objections
specified in the written statement so filed, the Commission may,
and if demanded by the Trustee or by such applicants shall, enter
an order either sustaining one or more of such objections or
refusing to sustain any of them.  If the Commission shall enter
an order refusing to sustain any of such objections, or if, after
the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections,
the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for
hearing, that all objections so sustained have been met, and
shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies
of such material to all noteholders 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.

Note registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses
of the holders of Notes in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (b) of this Section 5.02, 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 said subsection (b), nor shall
any such disclosure be deemed a violation of existing law, or any
law hereafter enacted which does not specifically refer to

     (a) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the
Trustee within fifteen days after the Company is required to file

portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time
to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may
be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  If the Company is not subject
to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
the Company shall nonetheless file with the Commission and the
Trustee copies of such annual reports and such information,
documents and other reports as it would file if it were subject

Indenture.  For purposes of this paragraph (d), such compliance
shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice provided under this Indenture.

     (e) For so long as any Restricted Securities remain
outstanding, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors covenant
and agree to furnish to the Holders of the Notes and to
securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their
request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to
Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933.

     funds held or collected by it as Trustee, except that the
     Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to state such

     SECTION 6.02.  Payment of Notes on default; suit therefor.  
                    ------------------------------------------
The Company covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in
the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Notes,
as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such
default shall have continued for a period of thirty days, or (2)
in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of,

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Notes or
upon redemption or purchase by the Company pursuant to Article
Three or upon declaration or otherwise then, upon demand of the
Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of
the holders of the Notes, the whole amount that then shall have
become due and payable on all such Notes for such amounts, as the
case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal, premium,
if any, Change of Control Purchase Price or Asset Sale Purchase
Price, as the case may be, and installments of interest (to the
extent permitted by law) at the rate of interest borne by the
Notes; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents,
attorneys and counsel, and any expense or liabilities incurred by
the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad
faith.

     In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts
upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of
an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute
any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection
of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action
or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any
such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other
obligor upon the Notes, and collect in the manner provided by law
out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the
Notes wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable.

     In case there shall be pending proceedings for the
bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other
obligor upon the Notes under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law or in case a receiver or trustee shall
have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other
obligor, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, or
to creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor,
the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal, Change of
Control Purchase Price or Asset Sale Purchase Price, as the case
may be, of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered
by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and
prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal,
premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale
Purchase Price and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Notes, and to file such other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
and of the noteholders allowed in any judicial proceeding
relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, its
creditors, or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and
to distribute the same after the deduction of its reasonable
charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in
bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the
noteholders 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 noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for compensation and expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. 
To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation,
expenses, liabilities and counsel fees out of the estate in any
such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the
same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any
and all distributions, dividends, moneys, securities and other
property which the holders of the Notes may be entitled to
receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any
plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this
Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the
production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative
thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall 

                                79
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the
reasonable expenses, disbursements and compensation of the
Trustee, its agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable
benefit of the holders of the Notes.

     SECTION 6.03.  Application of moneys collected by Trustee. 
                    ------------------------------------------
Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02
shall be applied to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee
pursuant to Section 7.06 and thereafter in the order following,
at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of
such moneys, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping
thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

     Purchase Price or Asset Sale Purchase Price on the
     outstanding Notes shall have become due and be unpaid, to

     maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest
     upon the overdue installments of interest (so far as
     permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has
     been collected by the Trustee) at the rate of interest borne
     by the Notes, such payments to be made ratably to the
     persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or
     preference;

         SECOND: In case any principal of, Change of Control
     Purchase Price or Asset Sale Purchase Price on the
     outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or
     otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and
     unpaid upon the Notes for principal, premium, if any, Change
     of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price and
     interest, as the case may be, with interest on the overdue
     principal, premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase
     Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price and installments of
     interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that
     such interest has been collected by the Trustee), as the
     case may be, at the rate of interest borne by the Notes; and
     in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the
     whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the
     payment of such principal, premium, if any, Change of
     Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price and
     interest, without preference or priority of any one such
     applicable amount over another, or of any installment of
     interest over any other installment of interest, ratably to
     the aggregate of such principal, premium, if any, Change of
     Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price and
     accrued and unpaid interest; and

         THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the
     Company, its successors or assigns, or to whosoever may be
     lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of
     competent jurisdiction may direct.

     SECTION 6.04.  Limitation on suits by holders of Notes.  No 
                    ----------------------------------------
holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue or by availing
of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action
or proceeding or to seek any remedy in equity or at law upon or
under or with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy,
unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee
written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinabove provided, and unless also the holders of not less
than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding or to seek such remedy
in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to
the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected
or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and
no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have
been given to the Trustee pursuant to 

                                80
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Note with
every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more
holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any
other of such Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over
or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and
for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of
Notes. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section 6.04, each and every noteholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or
in equity.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture,
however, the right of any holder of any Note to receive payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase
Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price and interest, as the case may
be, on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed
in such Note, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates or to demand
purchase of its Notes pursuant to Article Three or Section 4.14,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
holder.

     SECTION 6.05.  Proceedings by Trustee; remedies cumulative 
                    -------------------------------------------
and continuing; delay or omission not waiver of default.  In case 
-------------------------------------------------------
of a default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed
to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture
by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights,
either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid
of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to
enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee
by this Indenture or by law. All powers and remedies given by
this Article Six to the Trustee or to the noteholders shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not
exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies
available to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, by judicial
proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or
observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this
Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid
shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be
a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy
given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the
noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as
shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the noteholders.

     SECTION 6.06.  Rights of holders of majority in principal 
                    ------------------------------------------
amount of Notes to direct Trustee and to waive defaults.  The 
-------------------------------------------------------
holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding (determined as provided in Section
8.04), or, if a record date is set in accordance with Section
8.05, as of such record date, 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; provided, however, that subject to the
provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall
determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken,
or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a responsible officer
or officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so
directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or
be unjustly prejudicial to the noteholders not joining therein,
and provided further that nothing in this Indenture shall impair
the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action
deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with
such direction by noteholders. Prior to the declaration of the
maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 6.01, the holders of
a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the
time outstanding (determined as provided in Sections 8.04 

                                81
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

and 8.05) may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive
any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default
in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, Change of
Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price or interest on
any of the Notes or a default under Article Four or any other
covenant or provision of this Indenture which under Article Ten
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder
of each outstanding Note. In the case of any such waiver the
Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,
respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 6.07.  Trustee to give notice of defaults known to 
                    -------------------------------------------
it, but may withhold in certain circumstances.  The Trustee 
---------------------------------------------
shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default
hereunder, give to the noteholders, in the manner and to the
extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 6.04 with respect to
reports pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 6.04, notice of
such defaults known to the Trustee unless such defaults shall
have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice (the
term "defaults" for the purposes of this Section 6.07 being
hereby defined to be the events specified in clauses (a), (b),
(c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of Section 6.01, not including
any periods of grace provided for in clauses (a), (c), (d) and
(e), respectively, and irrespective of the giving of notice
specified in clauses (c) and (d)); provided that, except in the
case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price
or interest on any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of
directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of
directors and/or responsible officers of the Trustee in good
faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interest of the noteholders.

     SECTION 6.08.  Requirement of an undertaking to pay costs in 
                    ---------------------------------------------
certain suits under the Indenture or against the Trustee.  All 
--------------------------------------------------------
parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Note by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in
any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant
in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 6.08 shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
noteholder, or group of noteholders, holding in the aggregate
more than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price or
interest on any Note on or after the due date expressed in such
Note.

     SECTION 6.09.  Waiver of 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 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 benefits or advantage of any such
law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no
such law had been enacted.

     SECTION 7.01.  Duties and responsibilities of Trustee.  The 
                    --------------------------------------
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event
of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) 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.

     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;
provided, however, that

     (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may
have occurred:

         (1)   the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
     determined solely by the express provisions of this
     Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for
     the performance of such duties and obligations as are
     specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
     covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
     against the Trustee; and

         (2)   in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
     Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
     of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
     expressed therein, upon any 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) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers
of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

     (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in accordance with the direction of the holders of not less than
a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04 or 8.05)
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.

     None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     SECTION 7.02.  Reliance on documents, opinions, etc.  
                    -------------------------------------
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01:

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

     (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument
signed in the name of the Company by the Chairman of the Board,
the President or any Vice President and the Secretary or any
Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer
(unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof
certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the
Company;

     (c) 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
accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

     (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request, order or direction of any of the noteholders, pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such noteholders
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may
be incurred therein or thereby; but nothing herein contained
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture, and to 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;

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

     (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of
Default, 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, consent,
order, approval, bond, note or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04 or 8.05);
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time
to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by
the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the
Trustee may require from the noteholders reasonable indemnity
against such expenses or liability as a condition to so
proceeding. The reasonable expenses of every such examination
shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
repaid by the Company upon demand; and

     (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.

     SECTION 7.03.  No responsibility for recitals, etc.  The 
                    ------------------------------------
recitals contained herein and in the Notes (other than the
certificate of authentication on the Notes) shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes
no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Company of any of the Notes or
of the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of
any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any
provision of this Indenture, or for the use or application of any
moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.

     SECTION 7.04.  Trustee, paying agent or Note registrar may 
                    -------------------------------------------
own Notes.  The Trustee, any paying agent or Note registrar, in 
---------
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, paying agent or Note registrar.

     SECTION 7.05.  Moneys received by Trustee to be held in 
                    ----------------------------------------
trust without interest.  Subject to the provisions of Section 
----------------------
12.04, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were received, but need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law or by any national
securities exchanges on which the Notes are listed or admitted
for trading.  The Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it
may agree with the Company to pay thereon.

     SECTION 7.06.  Compensation and expenses of Trustee.  The 
                    ------------------------------------
Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to
time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compen-
sation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and
the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred
or made by the Trustee in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its trust under this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith.  The Company also covenants to indemnify
the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on
the part of the Trustee or its agents and arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim of liability under this Indenture in connection with the
exercise of its powers or duties hereunder.  The obligations of
the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate the Trustee and
to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or
resignation or removal of the Trustee.  Such additional
indebtedness shall be secured by a Lien upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held
in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Notes.

     SECTION 7.07.  Right of Trustee to rely on Officers' 
                    -------------------------------------
Certificate where no other evidence specifically prescribed.  
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof
be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to
be conclusively proved and established by an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in
the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this
Indenture in reliance thereon.

     SECTION 7.08.  Conflicting interest of Trustee.
                    -------------------------------

     (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting
interest, as defined in this Section 7.08, then, within ninety
days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest,
and if the default (as defined in Section 7.08(c)) to which such
conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or
otherwise eliminated before the end of such ninety-day period,
the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or,
except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08, resign in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10, and the
Company shall take prompt steps to have a successor appointed in
the manner provided in Section 7.10.

     (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with
the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08, the
Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such
ninety-day period, transmit notice of such failure to the
noteholders in the manner and to the extent provided in
subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant
to subsection (a) of Section 5.04.

     (c) For the purposes of this Section 7.08, the Trustee
shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest if the Notes are
in default (defined as the occurrence of any event specified in
Section 6.01, but exclusive of any period of grace or requirement
of notice) and

         (1)   the Trustee is trustee under another indenture
     under which any other securities, or certificates of
     interest or participation in any other securities, of the
     Company are outstanding, unless such other indenture is a
     collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral
     consists of Notes issued under this Indenture, provided that
     there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph
     any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or
     certificates of interest or participation in other
     securities, of the Company are outstanding if (i) this
     Indenture and such other indenture or indentures are wholly
     unsecured and such other indenture or indentures are
     hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
     unless the Commission shall have found and declared by order
     pursuant to Subsection (b) of Section 305 or Subsection (c)
     of Section 307 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 that
     differences exist between the provisions of this Indenture
     and the provisions of such other indenture or indentures
     which are so likely to involve a material conflict of
     interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or
     for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee
     from acting as such under this Indenture and such other
     indenture or indentures, or (ii) the Company shall have
     sustained the burden of proving, on application to the
     Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that
     the trusteeship under this Indenture and such other
     indenture is not so likely to involve a material conflict of
     interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or
     for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee
     from acting as such under one of such indentures;

         (2)   the Trustee or any of its directors or executive
     officers is an underwriter for the Company;

         (3)   the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is
     directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or
     indirect common control with an underwriter for the Company;

         (4)   the Trustee or any of its directors or executive
     officers is a director, officer, partner, employee,
     appointee, or representative of the Company, or of an
     underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company
     who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting,
     except that (A) one individual may be a director and/or an
     executive officer of the Trustee and 

                                86
<PAGE>

     a director and/or an executive officer of the Company, but
     may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the
     Trustee and the Company; (B) if and so long as the number of
     directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one
     additional individual may be a director and/or an executive
     officer of the Trustee and a director of the Company; and
     (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or by any
     underwriter for the Company to act in the capacity of
     transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal
     agent, escrow agent, or depositary, or in any other similar
     capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of
     this subsection (c), to act as trustee whether under an
     indenture or otherwise;

         (5)   ten percent or more of the voting securities of
     the Trustee is beneficially owned either by the Company or
     by any director, partner, or executive officer thereof, or
     20 percent or more of such voting securities is beneficially
     owned, collectively, by any two or more of such persons; or
     10 percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee
     is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the
     Company or by any director, partner, or executive officer
     thereof, or is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two
     or more such persons;

         (6)   the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds
     as collateral security for an obligation which is in
     default, (A) five percent or more of the voting securities,
     or 10 percent or more of any other class of security, of the
     Company, not including the Notes issued under this Indenture
     and securities issued under any other indenture under which
     the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) 10 percent or more of
     any class of security of an underwriter for the Company;

         (7)   the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds
     as collateral security for an obligation which is in
     default, five percent or more of the voting securities of
     any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 10
     percent or more of the voting securities of, or controls
     directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common
     control with, the Company;

         (8)   the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds
     as collateral security for an obligation which is in
     default, 10 percent or more of any class of security of any
     person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 50 percent
     or more of the voting securities of the Company; 

         (9)   the Trustee owns on the date of default upon the
     Notes (defined as the occurrence of any event specified in
     Section 6.01, but exclusive of any period of grace or
     requirement of notice) or any anniversary of such default
     while such default upon the Notes remains outstanding, in
     the capacity of executor, administrator, testamentary or
     inter vivos trustee, guardian, committee or conservator, or 
     ----- -----
     in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of 25 per cent
     or more of the voting securities, or of any class of
     security, of any person, the beneficial ownership of a
     specified percentage of which would have constituted a
     conflicting interest under paragraph (6), (7), or (8) of
     this subsection (c).  As to any such securities of which the
     Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor,
     administrator, or testamentary trustee of an estate which
     included them, the provisions of the preceding sentence
     shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date of
     such acquisition, to the extent that such securities
     included in such estate do not exceed 25 percent of such
     voting securities or 25 percent of any such class of
     security.  Promptly after the dates of any such default upon
     the Notes and annually in each succeeding year that the
     Notes remain in default, the Trustee shall make a check of
     its holdings of such securities in any of the
     above-mentioned capacities as of such dates.  If the Company
     fails to make payment in full of principal of, premium, if
     any, Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase

     or interest on any of the Notes when and as the same becomes
     due and payable and such failure continues for 30 days
     thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its
     holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned
     capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day
     period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing
     provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities so
     held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such
     securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such
     failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially
     owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7)
     and (8) of this subsection (c); or 

         (10)  except under the circumstances described in
     paragraphs (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of Section 311(b) of
     the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall become a
     creditor of the Company.

     The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9),
inclusive, of this subsection (c) shall not be construed as
indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the
securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient to
constitute direct or indirect control for the purpose of
paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (c).

     For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this
subsection (c) only, (A) the terms "security" and "securities"
shall include only such securities as are generally known as
corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other
evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to
repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust
companies or banking firms, or any certificate of interest or
participation in any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (B)
an obligation shall be deemed to be "in default" when a default
in payment of principal shall have continued for thirty days or
more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not
be deemed to be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it
holds as collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for an
obligation which is not in default as defined in clause (B)
above, or (ii), any security which it holds as collateral
security under this Indenture, irrespective of any default
hereunder, or (iii) any security which it holds as agent for
collection, or as custodian, escrow agent, or depositary, or in
any similar representative capacity.

     Except as above provided, the word "security" or
"securities" as used in this Indenture, shall mean any note,
stock, treasury stock, bond, note, evidence of indebtedness,
certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing
agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization
certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment
contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a
security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other
mineral rights, or, in general, any interest or instrument
commonly known as a "security," or any certificate of interest or
participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt
for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or
purchase, any of the foregoing.

     Except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Notes, or in the payment of any
sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee shall not be
required to resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if the
Trustee shall have sustained the burden of proving, on
application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing
thereon, that (i) the default under this Indenture may be cured
or waived during a reasonable period and under the procedures
described in such application, and (ii) a stay of the Trustee's
duty to resign will not be inconsistent with the interests of
holders of the Notes.  The filing of such an application shall
automatically stay the performance of the duty to resign until
the Commission orders otherwise.

                                88
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     Any resignation of the Trustee shall become effective only
upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor's
acceptance of such an appointment.

     (d) For the purposes of this Section 7.08:

         (1)   The term "underwriter" when used with reference to
     the Company shall mean every person, who, within one year
     prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has
     purchased from the Company with a view to, or has offered or
     sold for the Company in connection with, the distribution of
     any security of the Company outstanding at such time, or has
     participated or has had a direct or indirect participation
     in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a
     participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any
     such undertaking, but such term shall not include a person

     customary distributors' or sellers' commission.

         (2)   The term "director" shall mean any director of a

     corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint-stock
     company, a trust, an unincorporated organization, or a
     government or political subdivision thereof. As used in this
     paragraph, the term "trust" shall include only a trust where
     the interest or interests of the beneficiary or
     beneficiaries are evidenced by a security.

         (4)   The term "voting security" shall mean any security
     presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote in
     the direction or management of the affairs of a person, or
     any security issued under or pursuant to any trust,
     agreement or arrangement whereby a trustee or trustees or
     agent or agents for the owner or holder of such security are
     presently entitled to vote in the direction or management of
     the affairs of a person.

         (5)   The term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon the
     Notes.

         (6)   The term "executive officer" shall mean the

     cashier, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporation,
     and any individual customarily performing similar functions
     with respect to any organization whether incorporated or
     unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the
     board of directors.

     The percentages of voting securities and other securities
specified in this Section 7.08 shall be calculated in accordance
with the following provisions:

         (A)   A specified percentage of the voting securities of
     the Trustee, the Company or any other person referred to in
     this Section 7.08 (each of whom is referred to as a "person"
     in this paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding
     voting securities of such person as entitles the holder or
     holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the
     aggregate votes which the holders of all the outstanding
     voting securities of such person are entitled to cast in the
     direction or management of the affairs of such person.

                                89

         (B)   A specified percentage of a class of securities of
     a person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of
     securities of the class outstanding.

         (C)   The term "amount," when used in regard to
     securities, means the principal amount if relating to
     evidences of indebtedness, the number of shares if relating
     to capital shares, and the number of units if relating to
     any other kind of security.

         (D)   The term "outstanding" means issued and not held
     by or for the account of the issuer.  The following
     securities shall not be deemed outstanding within the
     meaning of this definition:

               (i)  securities of an issuer held in a sinking
         fund relating to securities of the issuer of the same
         class;

               (ii) securities of an issuer held in a sinking
         fund relating to another class of securities of the
         issuer, if the obligation evidenced by such other class
         of securities is not in default as to principal or
         interest or otherwise;

               (iii) securities pledged by the issuer thereof as
         security for an obligation of the issuer not in default
         as to principal or interest or otherwise; and

               (iv) securities held in escrow if placed in
         escrow by the issuer thereof;

     provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer
     shall be deemed outstanding if any person other than the
     issuer is entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof.

         (E)   A security shall be deemed to be of the same class
     as another security if both securities confer upon the
     holder or holders thereof substantially the same rights and
     privileges, provided, however, that, in the case of secured
     evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued under a
     single indenture, differences in the interest rates or
     maturity dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed
     sufficient to constitute such series different classes, and
     provided, further, that, in the case of unsecured evidences
     of indebtedness, differences in the interest rates or
     maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to
     constitute them securities of different classes, whether or
     not they are issued under a single indenture.

     SECTION 7.09.  Requirements for eligibility of Trustee.  The 
                    ----------------------------------------
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized

of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939), authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $25,000,000, and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of
Columbia authority.  If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 7.09, 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 Notes or a person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such
obligor.  In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be approved
to serve as transfer agent and registrar by any securities
exchange on which the Notes are listed or 

                                90

admitted for trading.  In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

     SECTION 7.10.  Resignation or removal of Trustee.
                    ----------------------------------

     (a) The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter appointed, may at
any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to
the Company and to the noteholders, such notice to the
noteholders to be given, by mailing (by first-class mail) the
notice to their addresses as they shall appear on the registry
books of the Company within thirty days after such notice is
given to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation
and evidence satisfactory to it of such mailing, the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the
Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.  If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within thirty days after the mailing of such notice
of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee, or any noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a
Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment
of a successor trustee.  Such court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a
successor trustee.

     (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

         (1)   the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
     provisions of subsection (a) of Section 7.08 after written
     request therefor by the Company or by any noteholder who has
     been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six
     months, or

         (2)   the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
     accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall
     fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
     or by any such noteholder, or

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

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.08, any noteholder who has been a bona
fide holder of a Note or Notes 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
and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may
thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

     (c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of any successor trustee pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 7.11.

     SECTION 7.11.  Acceptance by successor to Trustee; notice of 
                    --------------------------------------------
succession of a Trustee.  Any successor trustee appointed as 
------------------------
provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resigna-
tion or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective
and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but,
nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the
successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment
of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section
7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so
ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the
Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
trustee of such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act
shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds
held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due
it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

     No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance, such
successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of
Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section 7.11, the Company shall mail to the
noteholders by first-class mail notice thereof.  If the Company
fails to mail such notice within thirty days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall, in its discretion, cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Company.

     SECTION 7.12.  Successor to Trustee by merger, consolidation 
                    --------------------------------------------
or succession to business; notice by Trustee of change in its 
-------------------------------------------------------------
location.  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 or conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, provided such corporation shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under
the provisions of Section 7.09.

     In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall
succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes
shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such
successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes
so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall
not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all
such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it
is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the
certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that
the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor, or
successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

     The Trustee will give the Company prompt notice of any
change in the location of the Trustee's principal office.

     SECTION 7.13.  Limitations on rights of Trustee as a 
                    -------------------------------------
creditor.
--------

     (a)  Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section 7.13, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor,
directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or
of any other obligor on the Notes within three months prior to a
default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13, or
subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default
shall be cured or waived, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in
a special account for the benefit of, the Trustee individually,
the holders of the Notes, and the holders of other indenture
securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13)

         (1)   an amount equal to any and all reductions in the
     amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in
     respect of principal or interest, effected after the
     beginning of such three months' period, and valid as against
     the Company and its other creditors, except any such
     reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any
     property described in paragraph (2) of this subsection, or
     from the exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee
     could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been
     filed by or against the Company upon the date of such
     default; and

         (2)   all property received by the Trustee in respect of
     any claims as such creditor, either as security therefor, or
     in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after
     the beginning of such three months' period, or an amount
     equal to the proceeds of any such property if disposed of,
     subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and
     its other creditors in such property or such proceeds.

     Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of
the Trustee

         (A)   to retain for its own account (i) payments made on
     account of any such claim by any person (other than the
     Company) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the
     bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third
     person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities, or
     other property in respect of claims filed against the
     Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for
     reorganization pursuant to any applicable bankruptcy,
     insolvency or similar law;

         (B)   to realize, for its own account, upon any property
     held by it as security for any such claim, if such property
     was so held prior to the beginning of such three months'
     period;

         (C)   to realize, for its own account, but only to the
     extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property
     held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was
     created after the beginning of such three months' period and
     such property was received as security therefor
     simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee
     shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such
     property was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause
     to believe that a default, as defined in subsection (c) of
     this Section 7.13, would occur within three months; or

         (D)   to receive payment on any claim referred to in
     paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any property
     held as security for such claim as provided in such
     paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of
     the fair value of such property.

                                93

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D) above,
property substituted after the beginning of such three months'
period for property held as security at the time of such
substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the
property released, have the same status as the property released,
and to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such
paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for
the purpose of repaying or refunding any preexisting claim of the
Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status
as such preexisting claim.

     If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and
property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof
shall be apportioned between the Trustee, the noteholders, and
the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the
Trustee, the noteholders and the holders of other indenture
securities realize, as a result of payments from such special
account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the
Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for
reorganization pursuant to applicable law, the same percentage of
their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of
the Trustee anything on account of receipt by it from the Company
of the funds and property in such special account and before
crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, the
noteholders, and the holders of other indenture securities
dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to
applicable law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account
of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from
all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and
property so held in such special account.  As used in this
paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall
include any distribution with respect to such claim in bankruptcy
or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to
applicable law, whether such distribution is made in cash,
securities, or other property, but shall not include any such
distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such
claim.  The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or
proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction
(i) to apportion between the Trustee, the noteholders, and the
holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such
special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such
apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of
this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of
the distributions to be made to the Trustee, the noteholders and
the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their
respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to
liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other
property held in such special account or as security for any such
claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as
between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or
otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a
mathematical formula.

     Any trustee who has resigned or been removed after the
beginning of such three months' period shall be subject to the
provisions of this subsection (a) as though such resignation or
removal had not occurred.  If any trustee has resigned or been
removed prior to the beginning of such three months' period, it
shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and
only if the following conditions exist:

         (i)   the receipt of property or reduction of claim
     which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if
     such trustee had continued as trustee, occurred after the
     beginning of such three months' period; and

         (ii)  such receipt of property or reduction of claim
     occurred within three months after such resignation or
     removal.

                                94

     (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of
subsection (a) of this Section 8.13 a creditor relationship
arising from

         (1)   the ownership or acquisition of securities issued
     under any indenture, or any security or securities having a
     maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by
     the Trustee;

         (2)   advances authorized by a receivership or
     bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this
     Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which
     shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture
     or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or
     encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advance and of the
     circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the
     noteholders at the time and in the manner provided in
     Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsections
     (a) and (b) thereof, respectively;

         (3)   disbursements made in the ordinary course of
     business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture,
     transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal
     agent or depositary, or other similar capacity;

         (4)   an indebtedness created as a result of services
     rendered or premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a
     result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as
     defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13;

         (5)   the ownership of stock or of other securities of a
     corporation organized under the provisions of Section 25(a)
     of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or
     indirectly a creditor of the Company; or

         (6)   the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or
     negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or
     obligations which fall within the classification of
     self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection (c) of this
     Section 7.13.

     (c) As used in this Section 7.13:

         (1)   the term "default" shall mean any failure to make
     payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, Change
     of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price or
     interest upon any of the Notes or upon the other indenture
     securities when and as any such amounts become due and
     payable.

         (2)   the term "other indenture securities" shall mean
     securities upon which the Company is an obligor (as defined
     in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939) outstanding under any
     other indenture (A) under which the Trustee is also trustee,
     (B) which contains provisions substantially similar to the
     provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13, and (C)
     under which a default exists at the time of the
     apportionment of the funds and property held in said special
     account.

         (3)   the term "cash transaction" shall mean 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.

         (4)   the term "self-liquidating paper" shall mean 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, manufacture,
     shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and
     which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
     possession of, or 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.

         (5)   the term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon the

                    CONCERNING THE NOTEHOLDERS

     SECTION 8.01.  Evidence of action by noteholders.   Whenever 
                    ---------------------------------
in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take
any action (including the making of any demand or request, the
giving of any notice, consent, or waiver or the taking of any
other action), the fact that the holders of such specified
percentage, determined as of the time such action was taken or,
if a record date was set with respect thereto pursuant to Section
8.05, as of such record date, have joined therein may be
evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of
similar tenor executed by noteholders in person or by agent or
proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the holders
of Notes voting in favor thereof at any meeting of noteholders
duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article
Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments
and any such record of such a meeting of noteholders.

     SECTION 8.02.  Proof of execution of instruments and of 
                    ----------------------------------------
holding of Notes.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 
----------------
7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a
noteholder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in
accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be
prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee.

     The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the register of
such Notes, or by a certificate of the registrar thereof.

     The Trustee may accept such other proof or require such
additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02
as it shall deem reasonable.

     The record of any noteholders' meeting shall be proved in
the manner provided in Section 9.06.

     SECTION 8.03.  Who may be deemed owners of Notes.  Prior to 
                    ----------------------------------
due presentation for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee, any paying agent and any Note registrar may deem and
treat the person in whose name any Note shall be registered upon
the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Note
(whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding
any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the
purposes of receiving payment of or on account of the principal
of, premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale
Purchase Price and interest on such Note and for all other
purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying
agent 

                                96
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

nor any Note registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.  All such payments so made to, or upon the order of,
any such holder shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability
for moneys payable upon any such Note.

     SECTION 8.04.  Notes owned by Company or controlled by 
                    ----------------------------------------
controlling persons disregarded for certain purposes.  In 
----------------------------------------------------
determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any demand,
direction, request, notice, consent, waiver or other action under
this Indenture, Notes which are owned by the Company or any other
obligor on the Notes or by any person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Company or any other obligor on the Notes shall
be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose
of any such determination, provided that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such demand, direction, request, notice, consent or waiver,
only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this
Section 8.04, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction
of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Notes and that
the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company or any such other obligor.  In case of a dispute as to
such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of
counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

     SECTION 8.05.  Record date for action by noteholders.  
                    -------------------------------------
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that holders of a
specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
may take any action (including the making of any demand or
request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver
or the taking of any other action), other than any action taken
at a meeting of noteholders called pursuant to Article Nine, the
Company, pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, or
the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding, may request the Trustee to fix a record
date for determining noteholders entitled to notice of and to
take any such action.  In case the Company or the holders of
Notes in the amount above specified shall desire to request
noteholders to take any such action and shall request the Trustee
to fix a record date with respect thereto by written notice
setting forth in reasonable detail the noteholder action to be
requested, the Trustee shall promptly (but in any event within
five days of receipt of such request) fix a record date which
shall be a Business Day not less than fifteen nor more than
twenty days after the date on which the Trustee receives such
request.  If the Trustee shall fail to fix a record date as
hereinabove provided, then the Company or the holders of Notes in
the amount above specified may fix the same by mailing notice
thereof (the record date so fixed to be a Business Day not less
than fifteen nor more than twenty days after the date on which
such written notice shall be given) to the Trustee.  If a record
date is fixed according to this Section 8.05, only persons shown
as noteholders on the registry books of the Company at the close
of business on the record date so fixed shall be entitled to take
the requested action and the taking of any such action by the
holders on the record date of the required percentage of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be binding on all
noteholders, provided that the taking of the requested action by
the holders on the record date of the percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action shall have been evidenced to the
Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, not later than one hundred
eighty days after such record date.

     SECTION 8.06.  Instruments executed by noteholders bind 
                    -----------------------------------------

aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Note
which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the
holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee 

                                97

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. 
Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any
Note and any direction, demand, request, waiver, consent, vote or
other action of the holder of any Note which by any provisions of
this Indenture is required or permitted to be given shall be
conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future
holders and owners of such Note, and of any Note issued in lieu
thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard
thereto is made upon such Note.  Any action taken by the holders
of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall
be conclusively binding upon the holders of all the Notes.

of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be
taken at such meeting shall be mailed not less than twenty nor
more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for the meeting to
such noteholders at their addresses as such addresses appear on

     SECTION 9.03.  Call of meeting by Company or noteholders.  
                    -----------------------------------------
In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a resolution of its
Board of Directors, or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, shall have
requested the Trustee to call a meeting of noteholders to take
any action authorized in Section 9.01 by written request setting
forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the
meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of such
meeting within twenty days after receipt of such request, then
the Company or the holders of Notes in the amount above
specified, as the case may be, may fix the record date with
respect to, and determine the time and the place in said Borough
of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York, for, such
meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized
in Section 9.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section
9.02.  The record date fixed as provided in the preceding
sentence shall be set forth in a written notice to the Trustee
and shall be a Business Day not less than fifteen nor more than
twenty days after the date on which such notice is sent to the
Trustee.

     SECTION 9.04.  Who may attend and vote at meetings.  Only 
                    -----------------------------------
persons entitled to receive notice of a meeting of noteholders
and their respective proxies duly appointed by an instrument in
writing shall be entitled to vote at such meeting.  The only
persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any
meeting of noteholders shall be the persons entitled to vote at
such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the
Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company
and its counsel.  When a determination of noteholders entitled to
vote at any meeting of noteholders has been made as provided in
this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment
thereof.

     SECTION 9.05.  Regulations.  Notwithstanding any other 
                    -----------
provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such
reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting
of noteholders, in regard to proof of the holding of Notes and of
the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and
duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote,
and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as
it shall think fit.  Except as otherwise permitted or required by
any such regulations, the holding of Notes shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 8.02.

     The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have
been called by the Company or by noteholders as provided in
Section 9.03, in which case the Company or the noteholders
calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
appoint a temporary chairman.  A permanent chairman and a
permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by a vote of
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04, at any meeting
each noteholder or proxy entitled to vote thereat shall be
entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes
held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall
be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note
challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the
meeting to be not outstanding.  The chairman of the meeting shall
have no right to vote other than by virtue of Notes held by him
or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as
the person to vote on behalf of other noteholders.  Any meeting
of noteholders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section
9.02 or 9.03 may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting
may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

     At any meeting of noteholders, the presence of persons who
held, or who are acting as proxy for persons who held, an
aggregate principal amount of Notes on the record date for such
meeting sufficient to take action on the business for the
transaction of which such meeting was called shall constitute a

                                99
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

quorum, but, if less than a quorum is present, the persons
holding or representing a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes represented at the meeting may adjourn such meeting
with the same effect, for all intents and purposes, as though a
quorum had been present.

     SECTION 9.06.  Manner of voting at meetings and record to be 
                    --------------------------------------------
kept.  The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of 
----
noteholders shall be by written ballots on each of which shall be
subscribed the signature of the noteholder or proxy casting such
ballot, the principal amount and, if practicable, the identifying
number or numbers of the Notes held or represented in respect of
which such ballot is cast.  The permanent chairman of the meeting
shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes
cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall
make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified
written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting.  A
record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of
noteholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and
there shall be attached to said record the original reports of
the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts
setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing
that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 9.02.  The
record shall show the aggregate principal amount and, if
practicable, the identifying numbers of the Notes voting in favor
of or against any resolution.  Each counterpart of such record
shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the counterparts
shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to
be preserved by the Trustee.

     Any counterpart record so signed and verified shall be
conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated and shall be
the record referred to in clause (b) of Section 8.01.

     SECTION 9.07.  Exercise of rights of Trustee and noteholders 
                    --------------------------------------------
not to be hindered or delayed.  Nothing in this Article Nine 
-----------------------------
shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of
any call of a meeting of noteholders or any rights expressly or
impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or
delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the noteholders under any of the
provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes.

                     SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

     SECTION 10.01.  Purposes for which supplemental indentures 
                     ------------------------------------------
may be entered into without consent of noteholders.  The Company, 
--------------------------------------------------
when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from
time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto (which shall comply with the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect)
for one or more of the following purposes:

     (a) to comply with Article Eleven and Sections 4.10(c),
4.12(a), 4.12(c) and 15.03;

     (b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further
covenants, restrictions or conditions as its Board of Directors
shall consider to be for the protection of the holders of Notes,
and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of
a default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions or
conditions a default or an Event of Default permitting the
enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in
this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in
respect of any 

                               100
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

such additional covenant, restriction or condition such
supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of
grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than
that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an
immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies
available to the Trustee upon such default.

     (c) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which
may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision
contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to comply
with any requirements of the Commission in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, or to make such other provisions in regard
to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or any
supplemental indenture as shall not adversely affect the rights
of the holders of the Notes;

     (d) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of
Notes, whether or not then outstanding, in coupon form (including
Notes registrable as to principal only) and to provide for
exchangeability of such Notes with Notes issued hereunder in
fully registered form and to make all appropriate changes for
such purpose; and

     (e) to comply with the requirements of the New York Stock
Exchange or any other national securities exchange on which the
Notes may be issued or admitted for trading, provided such
changes do not adversely affect the rights of any holder of
Notes.

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

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of
this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee
without the consent of the holders of any of the Notes at the
time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
Section 10.02.

     SECTION 10.02.  Modification of Indenture with consent of 
                     -----------------------------------------
holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes.  With the 
--------------------------------------------------
consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding (determined as provided in Sections
8.04 and 8.05), or, if a record date is set with respect to such
consent in accordance with Section 8.05, as of such record date,
the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the
Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall comply
with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in
effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the holders of the Notes; provided, however,
that without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note
affected, no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the
stated maturity of any Note, reduce the interest rate, extend the
time or alter the manner of payment of interest thereon, reduce
the principal amount thereof or alter the timing of or reduce any
premium payable upon the redemption thereof or the amount payable
thereon in the event of acceleration or the amount thereof
payable in bankruptcy, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
aggregate principal amount of Notes, the consent of the holders
of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

     Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a
Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence of the consent of noteholders as aforesaid, the Trustee
shall join with the Company in the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture, provided that if such supplemental
indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise, the Trustee may in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such
supplemental indenture.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the noteholders
under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

     Promptly after the execution and delivery by the Company and
the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 10.02, the Company shall mail a notice
to the noteholders, setting forth in general terms the substance
of such supplemental indenture.  Any failure of the Company to
mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

     SECTION 10.03.  Effect of supplemental indentures.  Upon the 
                     ---------------------------------
execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture pursuant to
the provisions of this Article Ten, this Indenture shall be and
be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and
the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company
and the holders of Notes shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of
any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part
of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all
purposes.

     SECTION 10.04.  Notes may bear notation of changes by 
                     -------------------------------------
supplemental indentures.  Notes authenticated and delivered after 
-----------------------
the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture pursuant
to the provisions of this Article Ten, or after any action taken
at a noteholders' meeting pursuant to Article Nine, may bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture or as to any action
taken at any such meeting.  If the Company shall so determine,
new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Company, to any modification of this Indenture
contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by
the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in
exchange for the Notes then outstanding upon surrender of such
Notes.  Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new
Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such
supplemental indenture or noteholders' meeting.

     SECTION 10.05.  Officers' Certificate and Opinion of 
                     ------------------------------------
Counsel.  The Trustee may receive upon its request and, subject 
-------
to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may rely upon an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any such indenture complies with the provisions of
this Article Ten.

     SECTION 11.02.  Successor corporation to be substituted.  In

this Indenture and the Notes.  Such successor corporation
thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own
name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Notes
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed
by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order
of such successor corporation (instead of the Company) and
subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this
Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall
deliver any Notes which previously shall have been signed and
delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and any Notes which such successor corporation
thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee
for that purpose.  All the Notes so issued shall in all respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

Eleven.

other than (1) any Notes which shall have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in

as provided in Section 12.04, and not theretofore cancelled, or

     (b) (1)  all the Notes not theretofore cancelled or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due
and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable
within one year or are to be or may be called for redemption
within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption and (2) the Company has
deposited with the Trustee, in trust, money or non-callable
Government Securities maturing as to principal and interest in
such amounts and at such times as are sufficient (in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee), without consideration of any
reinvestment of such interest, to pay at maturity or upon
redemption all of such Notes (other than any Notes which shall
have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07) not theretofore
cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including
principal, premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase Price,
Asset Sale Purchase Price and interest due or to become due to
such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case

Indenture shall cease to be of further effect and the Trustee, on
demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 14.05 and at the
cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture,
except for those provisions which expressly survive as provided

Trustee for any costs or expenses theretofore and thereafter
reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee in connection
with this Indenture or the Notes.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's obligations in
Sections 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.04, 5.01, 5.02, 7.06, 12.03
and 12.04 shall survive until the Notes are no longer
outstanding.  Thereafter, only the Company's obligations in
Sections 7.06, 12.03 and 12.04 shall survive.

     After a deposit made pursuant to this Section 12.01, the
Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge
of the Company's obligations under the Notes and this Indenture,
except for those surviving obligations specified above.

holders of the particular Notes, for the payment or redemption of
which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all
sums due and to become due thereon for principal, premium, if
any, Change of Control Purchase Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price

be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

     SECTION 12.04.  Repayment of moneys held by Trustee.  The 
                     -----------------------------------
Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request
any excess money or securities held by it at any time.  Any
moneys 

                               105

deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, Change of Control Purchase
Price, Asset Sale Purchase Price or interest on any Notes and not
applied but remaining unclaimed by the holders of Notes for two
years after the date upon which such payment shall have become
due, shall be promptly repaid (together with any interest earned
thereon) to the Company by the Trustee or by such paying agent;
and thereupon the Trustee and such paying agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such moneys, and the
holder of any of the Notes entitled to receive such payment shall
thereafter look only to the Company for the payment thereof,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before
being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of
the Company, mail to the holders of Notes at their last known
address or 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, City of
New York, State of New York, a notice that such money remains

apply any money or securities deposited by the Company with the
Trustee in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section
12.01 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all
