or other action provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent or proxy duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments is or are
delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the

signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.2) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by
the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by

or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

     (f) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has


                                      -10-

<PAGE>

previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date
previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled
and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render
ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken.
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company,
at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action
by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in
writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6.

     The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining
the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the
giving or making of (i) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section
5.2, (ii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(2) or
(iii) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to
Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph,
the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or
direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date,
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or
prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new
record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set
pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect),
and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly
after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the
Company's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action
by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in
writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6.

     With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the "Expiration
Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or
later day, provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the
proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and
to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 10.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date
is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section,
the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with
respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided
in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be
later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

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

date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture
provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and
such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition

     National City Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of Delaware (hereinafter called the "Company", which term includes any
successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value

Maturity of the principal of this Security to a date not earlier than ___, and
(ii) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security at any time on
one or more occasions, subject to certain conditions specified in Section 3.14
of the Indenture, but in no event to a date later than ___. The Company further
promises to pay interest on said principal sum from ___ or from the most recent
interest payment date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") on which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually (subject to deferral
as set forth herein) in arrears on the last day of ___ and ___ of each year
commencing ___ at the rate of ___% per annum, until the principal hereof shall
have become due and payable, plus Additional Interest, if any, until the
principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment and
on any overdue principal and (without duplication and to the extent that payment
of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment
of interest at the rate of ___% per annum, compounded semi-annually. The amount
of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of twelve
30-day months and a 360-day year. The amount of interest payable for any partial
period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is
payable on this Security is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business
Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay),
except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business

Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date the
payment was originally payable. A "Business Day" shall mean any day other than
(i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) a day on which banking institutions in The City
of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain
closed or (iii) a day on which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or the
principal office of the Property Trustee under the Trust Agreement (hereinafter
referred to) for [NAME OF TRUST] is closed for business. The interest
installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person
in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
installment, which shall be [insert Record Date] next preceding such Interest
Payment Date. Any such interest installment not so punctually paid or duly
provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by
the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this
series not less than ___ days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in said Indenture.

     So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall have the right at any time during the term of this Security to defer
payment of interest on this Security, at any time or from time to time, for up
to ____ consecutive __________ interest payment periods with respect to each
deferral period, but up to not less than 20 consecutive quarters (each an
"Extension Period"), (during which Extension Periods the Company shall have the
right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date, and at
the end of which the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid
(together with Additional Interest thereon to the extent permitted by applicable
law)); provided, however, that no Extension Period shall extend beyond the
Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security; provided, further, that
during any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit
any Subsidiary of the Company to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with
respect to, any of the Company's capital stock (which includes common and
preferred stock), or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or
premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt security of the
Company (including Securities issued by the Company pursuant to the Indenture
other than the Securities represented by this certificate) that ranks pari passu
with or junior in interest to this Security or make any guarantee payments with
respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any
Subsidiaries of the Company (including National City Guarantees other than the
National City Guarantee related to the Capital Securities issued by [NAME OF
TRUST]) if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to this
Security (other than (a) dividends or distributions in Common Stock of the
Company, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation
of a stockholders' rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in
the future or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto,
(c) payments under the National City Guarantee related to the Capital Securities
issued by [NAME OF TRUST], and (d) purchases of Common Stock related to the
issuance of Common Stock or rights under any of the Company's benefit plans for
its directors, officers or employees). Prior to the termination of any such
Extension Period, the Company may further extend such Extension


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Period, provided that such extension does not cause such Extension Period to
exceed __________ consecutive interest payment periods or to extend beyond the
Stated Maturity. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the
payment of all amounts then due, and subject to the foregoing limitation, the
Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period. No interest shall be due and
payable during an Extension Period except at the end thereof. The Company shall
give the Trustee, the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees of [NAME
OF TRUST] notice of its election to begin any Extension Period at least ___
Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which Distributions on the
Capital Securities would be payable except for the election to begin such
Extension Period, or (ii) the date the Administrative Trustees are required to
give notice to any automated quotation system or to holders of such Capital
Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are payable, but in
any event not less than _____ Business Days prior to such record date.

     Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in the United States, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of
interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may
be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities
Register. The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided
in the Indenture, unsecured and will rank junior and subordinate and subject in
right of payments to the prior payment in full of all Senior and Subordinated
Debt, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture
with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a)
agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the
Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his
acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination
provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior and
Subordinated Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives
reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

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

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed under its corporate seal.

to a National City Trust, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of this series fails to declare the principal of all the Securities of this
series to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding shall
have such right by a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee; and upon
any such declaration the principal amount of and the accrued interest (including
any Additional Interest) on all the Securities of this series shall become

(including any Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated
to the extent provided in Article XIII of the Indenture.]

provisions of the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the

of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of this series may
declare an amount of principal of the Securities of this series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by Holders), provided that, in the case of the Securities of this
series issued to a National City Trust, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of this series fails to declare the principal of all the Securities
of this series to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in

amount shall be equal to [insert formula for determining the amount]. Upon any
such declaration, such amount of the principal of and the accrued interest
(including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities of this series shall
become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal and
interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain

obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles.

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

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered
at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.


                                      -23-

     No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have
been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 3.9, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.4. Temporary Securities.

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

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

Section 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

     The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of
transfers of Securities. Such register is herein sometimes referred to as the
"Securities Register." The Trustee is hereby appointed "Securities Registrar"
for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office
or agency of the Company designated for that purpose, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any
authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, of the same
Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms.


                                      -24-

<PAGE>

     At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity
and having the same terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
such office or agency. Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

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

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

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

     The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to
Global Securities:

     (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or
a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or
custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single
Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

     (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name
of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee
thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii)
has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time
when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as depositary, in
each case unless the Company has approved a successor Depositary within 90 days,
(B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect
to such Global Security, (C) the Company in its sole discretion determines that
such Global Security will be so exchangeable or transferable or (D) there shall
exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as
have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.1.


                                      -25-

<PAGE>

     (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for
other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in
exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in
such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

     (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion
thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4, 3.6, 9.6 or 11.6 or
otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a
Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person
other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

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

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

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save
each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same issue
and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same Original Issue
Date and Stated Maturity, and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute
and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same issue and
series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same Original Issue Date
and Stated Maturity as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

     Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be


                                      -26-

<PAGE>

entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 3.7. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     Interest on any Security of any series which is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the
Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
in respect of Securities of such series, except that, unless otherwise provided
in the Securities of such series, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the
principal of a Security shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid.
The initial payment of interest on any Security of any series which is issued
between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be
payable as provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to
Section 3.1 with respect to the related series of Securities.

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

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Persons in whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which
interest is in default (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and
at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as
in this Clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days
and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record
Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a
Security of such series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Securities Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The
Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
cause a similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper, customarily
published in the English language on each Business Day and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such
publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of


                                      -27-

<PAGE>

such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant
to the following Clause (2).

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

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7, each Security
delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of
any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 3.8. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to
Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

Section 3.9. Cancellation

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the
Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the
Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may
at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by
the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be destroyed by the
Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such
destruction.

Section 3.10. Computation of Interest.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series for any period shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and interest on
the Securities of each series for any partial period shall be computed on the
basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 3.11. Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.

     If specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1 with respect to
the Securities of a particular series, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time during
the term of such series, from time to time to defer the payment of interest on
such Securities for such period or periods as may be specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1, but up to not less than 20 consecutive quarters (each, an
"Extension Period") during which Extension Periods the Company shall have the
right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date. No
Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. At the
end of any such Extension Period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued
and unpaid on the Securities (together with Additional Interest thereon, if any,
at the rate specified for the Securities of such series to the extent permitted
by applicable law); provided, however, that no Extension Period shall extend
beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series;
provided, further, that during any such Extension Period, the Company shall not,
and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment
with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock (which includes common and
preferred stock), or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or
premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the
Company (including Securities other than the Securities of such series) that
ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Securities of such series or
make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the
debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company (including National City
Guarantees other than the National City Guarantee related to the Capital
Securities issued by the National City Trust holding Securities of such series)
if such guarantee rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the securities
of such series (other than (a) dividends or distributions in Common Stock of the
Company, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation
of a stockholders' rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in
the future or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto,
(c) payments under the National City Guarantee related to the Capital Securities
issued by the National City Trust holding Securities of such series, and (d)
purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of Common Stock or rights
under any of the Company's benefit plans for its directors, officers or
employees). Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company
may further extend such Extension Period, provided that such extension does not
cause such Extension Period to extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the
principal of such Securities. Upon termination of any Extension Period and upon
the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then
due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension
Period, subject to the above requirements. No interest shall be due and payable
during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof. The Company shall give
the Trustee, the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees of the
National City Trust holding Securities of such series notice of its election of
any Extension Period (or an extension thereof) at least five Business Days prior
to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the
Capital Securities of such National City Trust would be payable except for the
election to begin or extend such Extension Period or (ii) the date the
Administrative Trustees of such National City Trust are required to give notice
to any automated quotation system or to holders of such Capital Securities of
the record date or the date such Distributions are payable, but in any event not
less than five Business Days prior to such record date.


                                      -29-

     The Trustee shall promptly give notice of the Company's election to begin
any such Extension Period to the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such
series.

Section 3.12. Right of Set-Off.

     [RESERVED]

Section 3.13. Agreed Tax Treatment.

     Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its
acceptance of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and
any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such Security agree that for
United States Federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that such
Security constitute indebtedness.

Section 3.14. Shortening or Extension of Stated Maturity.

     If specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1 with respect to
the Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have the right to (i)
shorten the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series at
any time to any date not earlier than the first date on which the Company has
the right to redeem the Securities of such series, and (ii) extend the Stated
Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series at any time at its
election for one or more periods, but in no event to a date later than the 49th
anniversary of the first Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date
of the Securities of such series; provided that, if the Company elects to
exercise its right to extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of the
Securities of such series pursuant to clause (ii) above, at the time such
election is made and at the time of extension (A) the Company is not in
bankruptcy, otherwise insolvent or in liquidation, (B) the Company is not in
default in the payment of any interest or principal on such Securities, (C) in
the case of any series of Securities issued to a National City Trust, such
National City Trust is not in arrears on payments of Distributions on the
Capital Securities issued by such National City Trust and no deferred
Distributions are accumulated and (D) such Securities are rated not less than
BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody's or the equivalent by any other nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. In the event the Company elects to
shorten or extend the Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series, it shall
give notice to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall give notice of such shortening
or extension to the Holders thereof no less than 30 and no more than 60 days
prior to the effectiveness thereof.

Section 3.15. CUSIP Numbers.

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

Securities herein expressly provided for and as otherwise provided in this
Section 4.1) and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture, when

     (1) either

     (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i)
Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (ii) Securities for whose

sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and

                                    REMEDIES

Section 5.1. Events of Default.

     "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to the Securities of
any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

Section 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the
Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the Securities of
that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), provided that, in the case of
the Securities of a series issued to a National City Trust, if, upon an Event of
Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series fail to declare the principal of all
the Securities of that series to be immediately due and payable, the holders of
at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the corresponding series of
Capital Securities then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing
to the Company and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or specified portion thereof) of and the accrued interest (including any
Additional Interest) on all the Securities of such series shall become
immediately due and payable. Payment of principal and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent
provided in Article XIII notwithstanding that such amount shall become
immediately due and payable as herein provided.

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

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

     (A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional
Interest) on all Securities of that series,

     (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that

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

Section 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     The Company covenants that if:

     (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest
(including any Additional Interest) on any Security when such interest becomes
due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

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

     the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable
on such Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or
analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
Additional Interest); and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee
under Section 6.6.

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

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

Section 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,

Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors,

     (a) the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of
any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand
on the Company for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any) or
interest (including any Additional Interest)) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

     (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) owing and
unpaid in respect to the Securities and to file such other papers or documents

authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have the claims of the
Holders and any predecessor to the Trustee under Section 6.6 allowed in any such
judicial proceedings; and

(or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee for distribution in
accordance with Section 5.6, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.6.

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

Section 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claim Without Possession of Securities.

     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may
be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any
such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision
for the payment of all the amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
under Section 6.6, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 5.6. Application of Money Collected.

     Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with
respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in

Section 5.7. Limitation on Suits.

     No Holder of any Securities of any series shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other
similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Capital Securities.

Security shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7)
interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security on the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such


                                      -36-

<PAGE>

payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder. In the case of Securities of a series issued to a National City Trust,
any holder of the corresponding series of Capital Securities issued by such
National City Trust shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default described in Section 5.1(1), to institute a suit directly against the
Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of (premium, if
any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest (including any Additional Interest)

Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement under which such National City Trust
is formed) of such Capital Securities of the corresponding series held by such
holder.

Section 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right
or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Security or any
holder of any Capital Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

     Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders and the right and remedy given to the holders of Capital Securities
by Section 5.8 may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Capital Securities, as
the case may be.

conducting any proceeding for any

<PAGE>

remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that:

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

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

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

Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series and, in the case of any Securities of a
series issued to a National City Trust, the holders of Capital Securities issued
by such National City Trust may waive any past default hereunder and its
consequences with respect to such series except a default:

     (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on any Security of such series, or

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

     Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series or, in the case of a waiver by holders of Capital
Securities issued by such National City Trust, by all holders of Capital
Securities issued by such National City Trust.

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

Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken 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 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest


                                      -38-

<PAGE>

(including any Additional Interest) on any Security on or after the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security.

Section 5.15. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

     The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of

respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,

               Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
               which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,

          (b)  if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
               Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
               necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers,
               trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
               Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
               Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
               retiring Trustee, and

          (c)  shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
               shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
               administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee.

     Herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a
trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible
for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the
part of any other Trustee hereunder, and upon the execution and delivery of such

respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise
of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested
in the Trustee under this Indenture other than as hereinafter expressly set
forth, and each such successor Trustee without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by
such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

     (3) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in
paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.

     (4) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under

     (2) any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Trustee shall be a party, or

     (3) any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Trustee,

shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Six. In case any
Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then
in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities.

Section 6.11. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents,

Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated
by the Trustee hereunder.

Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery
of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf
of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

     Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as
specified as contemplated by Section 301, shall at all times

          converted or with which it may be consolidated, or

     (b)  any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
          to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or

     (c)  any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust
          business of an Authenticating Agent,

shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise eligible under this Section.

     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company. At such time, the Trustee shall

     (ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish
          notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in
          the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal
          office if such office is located outside the United States.

Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

     The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If the Trustee
makes such payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.6.

     The provisions of Sections 3.8, 6.3 and 6.4 shall be applicable to each
Authenticating Agent.

     In executing or accepting the additional series of Securities created by
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications
thereby of any series of Securities previously created by this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized
or permitted by this Indenture, and that all conditions precedent have been
complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX or
delivery to the Trustee of the Officers' Certificate pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof (which Officers' Certificate shall have the effect of a supplemental
indenture for all purposes hereunder), this Indenture shall be modified in
accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 9.5. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

     Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX and every
Officers' Certificate delivered to the trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof
shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

Section 9.6. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

     Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX or delivery to the Trustee of
the Officers' Certificate pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (which Officers'
Certificate shall have the effect of a supplemental indenture for all purposes
hereunder) may, and shall if required by the Company, bear a notation in form
approved by the Company as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture or such


                                      -53-

<PAGE>

Officers' Certificate. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any
series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company, to any such
supplemental indenture or such Officer's Certificate may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                    COVENANTS

Section 10.1. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

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

Section 10.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

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

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

Section 10.3. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

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

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior
to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each due date of the principal of or
interest on any Securities,


                                      -54-

<PAGE>

deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium,
if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal and premium (if any) or
interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3, that such
Paying Agent will:

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

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

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

     (4) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it
as a Paying Agent.

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

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

Section 10.4. Statement as to Compliance.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each calendar year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not to the
best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of or compliance with any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture, and if the Company shall
be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge. For the purpose of this Section 10.4, compliance
shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice
provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 10.5. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant
or condition provided pursuant to Sections 3.1, 9.1(3), or 9.1(4) with respect
to the Securities of any series, if before or after the time for such compliance
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such covenant
or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 10.6. Additional Sums.

     In the case of the Securities of a series issued to a National City Trust,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1, in the event
that (i) such National City Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, (ii) a Tax Event in respect of such National City
Trust shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) the Company shall not have
(A) redeemed the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 11.7(b) or (B)
terminated such National City Trust pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of the related
Trust Agreement, the Company shall pay to such National City Trust (and its
permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) for so long
as such National City Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the
registered holder of any Securities of such series, such additional amounts as
may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions (including any
Additional Amounts (as defined in such Trust Agreement)) then due and payable by
such National City Trust on the related Capital Securities and Common Securities
that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof shall
not be reduced as a result of any Additional Taxes (the "Additional Sums").
Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any context
to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall
be deemed to include mention of the payments of the Additional Sums provided for
in this paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional Sums are, were
or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph and express mention of the payment of Additional Sums (if applicable)
in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Sums in
those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made; provided,
however, that the


                                      -56-

<PAGE>

deferral of the payment of interest pursuant to Section 3.11 or the Securities
shall not defer the payment of any Additional Sums that may be due and payable.

Section 10.7. Additional Covenants.

     The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities of any
series that it shall not, and it shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company
to, (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the
Company's capital stock (which includes common and preferred stock), or (b) make
any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company (including Securities
other than the Securities of such series) that rank pari passu with or junior in
interest to the Securities of such series or make any guarantee payments with
respect to any guarantee by the Company of debt securities of any subsidiary of
the Company (including National City Guarantees other than the National City
Guarantee related to the Capital Securities issued by the National City Trust
holding Securities of such series) if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or
junior in interest to the Securities (other than (a) dividends or distributions
in Common Stock of the Company, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection
with the implementation of a rights plan or the issuance of stock under any such
plan or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (c)
payments under the National City Guarantee related to the Capital Securities
issued by the National City Trust holding Securities of such series, and (d)
purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of Common Stock or rights
under any of the Company's benefit plans for its directors, officers or
employees) if at such time (i) there shall have occurred any event of which the
Company has actual knowledge that (A) with the giving of notice or the lapse of
time or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series and (B) in respect of which the Company shall not have
taken reasonable steps to cure, (ii) if the Securities of such series are held
by a National City Trust, the Company shall be in default with respect to its
payment of any obligations under the National City Guarantee relating to the
Capital Securities issued by such National City Trust or (iii) the Company shall
have given notice of its election to begin an Extension Period with respect to
the Securities of such series as provided herein and shall not have rescinded
such notice, or such Extension Period, or any extension thereof, shall be
continuing.

     The Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities of a series
issued to a National City Trust (i) to maintain directly or indirectly 100%
ownership of the Common Securities of such National City Trust; provided,
however, that any permitted successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to
the Company's ownership of such Common Securities, (ii) not to voluntarily
terminate, wind-up or liquidate such National City Trust, except (a) in
connection with a distribution of the Securities of such series to the holders
of Trust Securities in liquidation of such National City Trust or (b) in
connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by
the related Trust Agreement and (iii) to use its reasonable efforts, consistent
with the terms and provisions of such Trust Agreement, to cause such National
City Trust to remain classified as a grantor trust and not an association
taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 11.1. Applicability of This Article.

     Redemption of Securities of any series (whether by operation of a sinking
fund or otherwise) as permitted or required by any form of Security issued
pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of
Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such
form of Security shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the
provision of such form of Security shall govern. Except as otherwise set forth
in the form of Security for such series, each Security of such series shall be
subject to partial redemption only in the amount of $100,000 or, in the case of
the Securities of a series issued to a National City Trust, $100,000, or
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 11.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of less than all of the Securities of any particular series and
having the same terms, the Company shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such date and of the principal amount of
Securities of that series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee
with an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance
with such restriction.

Section 11.3. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

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

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


                                      -58-

<PAGE>

portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed. If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of
the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in
the Securities selected for redemption.

Section 11.4. Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not later than the thirtieth day, and not earlier than the sixtieth day,
prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at
the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register.

     With respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice of
redemption shall state:

     (a) the Redemption Date;

     (b) the Redemption Price;

     (c) if less than all Outstanding Securities of such particular series and
having the same terms are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case
of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular
Securities to be redeemed;

     (d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and
payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that interest thereon,
if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

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

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

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

Section 11.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.

     Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date specified in
the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 11.4, the Company will
deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and any accrued interest (including Additional Interest) on, all the
Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.


                                      -59-

<PAGE>

Section 11.6. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

     If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.4, the
Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been
given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated
in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender
of such Securities at a Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said
securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the
Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest
(including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of
interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be
payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.

     Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at
the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of
authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of
the Security not redeemed so presented and having the same Original Issue Date,
Stated Maturity and terms. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new
Security will also be a new Global Security.

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

Section 11.7. Right of Redemption of Securities Initially Issued to a National
City Trust.

     In the case of the Securities of a series initially issued to a National
City Trust, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, the
Company, at its option, may redeem such Securities (i) on or after the date five
years after the Original Issue Date of such Securities, in whole at any time or
in part from time to time, or (ii) upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Tax Event, at any time within 90 days following the occurrence
of such Tax Event in respect of such National City Trust, in whole (but not in
part), in each case at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                                 SINKING FUNDS

Section 12.1. Applicability of Article.

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for
the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
any Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment", and any sinking fund payment in excess of such minimum amount which is
permitted to be made by the


                                      -60-

<PAGE>

terms of such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 12.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of such
Securities.

Section 12.2. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

     In lieu of making all or any part of a mandatory sinking fund payment with
respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option, at
any time no more than 16 months and no less than 30 days prior to the date on
which such sinking fund payment is due, deliver to the Trustee Securities of
such series (together with the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto)
theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, except Securities of
such series that have been redeemed through the application of mandatory or
optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such
series, accompanied by a Company Order instructing the Trustee to credit such
obligations and stating that the Securities of such series were originally
issued by the Company by way of bona fide sale or other negotiation for value;
provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so
credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price for such Securities, as
specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

Section 12.3. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof,
if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section
3.1) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and
crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such Officers' Certificate shall be
irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the
cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the
succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company
to deliver such Officers' Certificate (or, as required by this Indenture, the
Securities and coupons, if any, specified in such Officers' Certificate), the
sinking fund payment due on the succeeding sinking fund payment date for such
series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the
principal amount of the Securities of such series subject to a mandatory sinking
fund payment without the right to deliver or credit securities as provided in
Section 12.2 and without the right to make the optional sinking fund payment
with respect to such series at such time.

     Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made with respect
to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee (or
by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent) on the sinking
fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made
before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date


                                      -61-

<PAGE>

immediately following the date of such payment) to the redemption of Securities
of such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities with respect
to the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the
Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and
held in trust by the Company as provided in Section 10.3) for such series and
together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.3. Any and all sinking fund
moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the
Trustee (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and
held in trust as provided in Section 10.3) on the last sinking fund payment date
with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or
redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied by the
Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent),
together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited (or segregated)
sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of
such series at Maturity. The Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the
terms and in the manner stated in Section 11.6. On or before each sinking fund
payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting
as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.3) in cash a sum in the currency in which Securities of
such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.1) equal to
the principal and any interest accrued to the Redemption Date for Securities or
portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to
this Section 12.3.

     Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall redeem any Securities of a series
with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such
series by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance
of a default in payment of interest, if any, on any Securities of such series or
of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a
consequence of this paragraph) with respect to the Securities of such series,
except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided in accordance
with the provisions hereof, the Trustee (or the Company, if the Company is then
acting as its own Paying Agent) shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient
for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee (or segregated by the
Company) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article XII.
Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time
when any such default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter
paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or
Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of the Securities and
coupons, if any, of such series; provided, however, that in case such default or
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived herein, such moneys shall
thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for the Securities

                           SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

Section 13.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior and Subordinated Debt.

     The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its
acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in
the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article XIII, the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional

Section 13.2. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company (each such event, if any, herein
sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding"), then the holders of Senior and
Subordinated Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of Allocable
Amounts of such Senior and Subordinated Debt, or provision shall be made for
such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory
to the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt, before the Holders of the
Securities are entitled to receive or retain any payment or distribution of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any
payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the
payment of any other Debt of the Company subordinated to the payment of the
Securities, such payment or distribution being hereinafter referred to as a
"Junior Subordinated Payment"), on account of principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or on account
of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any
Subsidiary and to that end the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt shall be
entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
including any Junior Subordinated Payment, which may be payable or deliverable
in respect of the Securities in any such Proceeding.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
13.2, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any payment
or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities, including any Junior Subordinated Payment, before
all Allocable Amounts of all Senior and Subordinated Debt are paid in full or
payment thereof is provided for in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a
manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt, and if such
fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been
made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such
event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to
the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee,
agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company
for application to the payment of all Allocable Amounts of all Senior and
Subordinated Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Allocable
Amounts of all Senior and Subordinated Debt in full, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior and
Subordinated Debt.


                                      -63-

     For purposes of this Article XIII only, the words "any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities"
shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or
readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for
by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which securities are subordinated in
right of payment to all then outstanding Senior and Subordinated Debt to
substantially the same extent as the Securities are so subordinated as provided
in this Article XIII. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of
the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company following the sale of all or substantially all of its properties and
assets as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth
in Article VIII shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the purposes of this
Section 13.2 if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged or the Person which acquires by sale such properties and
assets as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such
consolidation, merger, or sale comply with the conditions set forth in Article
VIII.

Section 13.3. Prior Payment to Senior and Subordinated Debt Upon Acceleration of
Securities.

     In the event that any Securities are declared due and payable before their
Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of the Senior and
Subordinated Debt outstanding at the time such Securities so become due and
payable shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Allocable Amounts
due on or in respect of such Senior and Subordinated Debt (including any amounts
due upon acceleration), or provision shall be made for such payment in cash or
cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior
and Subordinated Debt, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to
receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
properties or securities (including any Junior Subordinated Payment) by the
Company on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or on account of the
purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 13.3 shall prevent the
satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with this Indenture or as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the Securities of any
series by delivering and crediting pursuant to Section 12.2 or as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the Securities of any series
Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to such
declaration of acceleration.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make
any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of this Section 13.3, and if such fact shall, at or prior
to the time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case
may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and
delivered forthwith to the Company.

     The provisions of this Section 13.3 shall not apply to any payment with
respect to which Section 13.2 would be applicable.

Section 13.4. No Payment When Senior and Subordinated Debt in Default.

     (a) In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment
of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior and Subordinated
Debt, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior and
Subordinated Debt shall have occurred and be


                                      -64-

<PAGE>

continuing and shall have resulted in such Senior and Subordinated Debt becoming
or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise
have become due and payable, unless and until such event of default shall have
been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall
have been rescinded or annulled, or (b) in the event any judicial proceeding
shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment or such event or
default, then no payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in
cash, properties or securities (including any Junior Subordinated Payment) shall
be made by the Company on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, on the Securities or on
account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any
Subsidiary, in each case unless and until all Allocable Amounts of such Senior
and Subordinated Debt are paid in full; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 13.4 shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in
accordance with this Indenture or as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1 for the Securities of any series by delivering and crediting
pursuant to Section 12.2 or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
3.1 for the Securities of any series Securities which have been acquired (upon
redemption or otherwise) prior to such default in payment or event of default.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make
any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4, and if such fact shall, at or prior
to the time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case
may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and
delivered forthwith to the Company.

     The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall not apply to any payment with
respect to which Section 13.2 would be applicable.

Section 13.5. Payment Permitted if No Default.

     Nothing contained in this Article XIII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during
the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 13.2 or under the
conditions described in Sections 13.3 and 13.4, from making payments at any time
of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including Additional
Interest) on the Securities, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money
deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the
Securities or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of
such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge that such payment
would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article XIII.

Section 13.6. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt.

     Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all
Senior and Subordinated Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash
equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior and
Subordinated Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the
extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior and
Subordinated Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIII (equally and
ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express
terms is subordinated to Senior and Subordinated Debt of the Company to
substantially the same extent


                                      -65-

<PAGE>

as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior and Subordinated Debt and is
entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or
distributions made to holders of such Senior and Subordinated Debt) to the
rights of the holders of such Senior and Subordinated Debt to receive payments
and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior and
Subordinated Debt until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior and Subordinated Debt of
any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the
Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no
payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIII to the holders of
Senior and Subordinated Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall,
as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior and
Subordinated Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment
or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior and Subordinated
Debt.

Section 13.7. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

     The provisions of this Article XIII are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the
one hand and the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt on the other hand.
Nothing contained in this Article XIII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the
Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute
and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the
Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights
in relation to the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt; or (c) prevent the
Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture including, without
limitation, filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights,
if any, under this Article XIII of the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt
to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the
Trustee or such Holder.

Section 13.8. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

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

Section 13.9. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

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


                                      -66-

<PAGE>

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

Section 13.10. Notice to Trustee.

     The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact
known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Article XIII or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt or from any trustee, agent
or representative therefor; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not
have received the notice provided for in this Section 13.10 at least two
Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may
become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such
monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it
within two Business Days prior to such date.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself
to be a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt (or a trustee therefor) to
establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior and Subordinated
Debt (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good
faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person
as a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior and Subordinated Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such
Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other
facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such
evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment.

Section 13.11. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article XIII, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and
the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating
trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders
of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior and
Subordinated Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XIII.

Section 13.12. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior and Subordinated
     Debt.

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

Section 13.13. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt;
     Preservation of Trustee's Rights.

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

Section 13.14. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

     In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as
used in this Article XIII shall in such case (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within
its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article XIII in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

Section 13.15. Certain Conversions or Exchanges Deemed Payment.

     For the purposes of this Article XIII only, (a) the issuance and delivery
of junior securities upon conversion or exchange of Securities shall not be
deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on
Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and
(b) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or securities (other
than junior securities) upon conversion or exchange of a Security shall be
deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such security. For
the purposes of this Section 13.15, the term "junior securities" means (i)
shares of any stock of any class of the Company and (ii) securities of the
Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior and
Subordinated Debt which


                                      -68-

<PAGE>

may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities
are so subordinated as provided in this Article XIII.

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

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be
duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and
attested, all as of the day and year first above written.
