                 Section 102.  Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

                 Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been
complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to
which the furnishing of such documents or any of them is specifically required
by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or
request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

                 Section 103.  Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

                 In any case where several matters are required to be certified
by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that
all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

                 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous.  Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may
be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company
stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the
possession of the Company unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to such matters are erroneous.


                 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture or any Security, they may, but need not,
be consolidated and form one instrument.

                 Section 104.  Acts of Holders.

                 (a)  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by or pursuant to this Indenture to be
given 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 duly appointed in writing.  If, but only if, Securities of a series
are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series
may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of
Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, either in person or by
proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of
such series duly





                                       10
<PAGE>
called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a
combination of such instruments and any such record.  Except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments or record or both are received by the Trustee and,
where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company.  Such instrument or
instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting.  Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or
of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose
of this Indenture and (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee
or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.  The record of
any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in
Section 1506.

                 Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless
otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a U.S.
Depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a
proxy, or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in
or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a U.S.
Depository that is a Holder of a global Security may provide its proxy or
proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such global Security
through such U.S. Depository's standing instructions and customary practices.

                 The Trustee shall fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interest in any permanent
global Security held by a U.S. Depository entitled under the procedures of such
U.S. Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in
writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or
taken by Holders.  If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record
date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date.  No such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective
if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

                 (b)  The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the
Trustee may determine; and the Trustee may in any instance require further
proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section 104.

                 (c)  The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of
Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and
the date of the termination of holding the same, shall be proved by the
Security Register.

                 (d)  The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of
Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the
date of the termination of holding the





                                       11
<PAGE>
same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a
certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or
other depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company, wherever situated, if
such certificate shall be deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be
satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on
deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein
described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the
Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is
deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory.  The Trustee and the Company may
assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another
certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same
Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the
Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in
exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer
Outstanding.  The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer
Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the
date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same
may also be proved in any other manner which the Company and the Trustee deems
sufficient.

                 (e)  If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any
Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option (but is not
obligated to), by Board Resolutions, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act.  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after
such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the
purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for
that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record
date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders
of Registered Securities shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six
months after the record date.

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

                 Section 105.  Notices, etc. to Trustee and Company.

                 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,





                                       12
<PAGE>
                 (1)  the Trustee by any Holder or the Company shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
         filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
         or

                 (2)  the Company by the Trustee or any Holder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
         expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Treasurer at
         the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph
         of this instrument (with a copy to its Corporate Secretary at the same
         address) or at any other address previously furnished in writing to
         the Trustee by the Company.

                 Section 106.  Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

                 Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of
any event,

                 (1)  such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of
         Registered Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
         prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such
         event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not
         later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
         prescribed for the giving of such Notice; and

                 (2)  such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of
         Bearer Securities, if any, if published in an Authorized Newspaper in
         The City of New York and, if such Securities are then listed on any
         stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper
         in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock
         exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the first such
         publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and not later
         than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.

                 In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in
any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall
affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of
Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities given as provided herein.  Any notice which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or
provided.  In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or
by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee
shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

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





                                       13
<PAGE>
shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered
Securities as provided above.

                 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 of Securities shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

                 Section 107.  Language of Notices.

                 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be
in the English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published
notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

                 Section 108.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

                 If any provision hereof modifies; excludes; limits, qualifies
or conflicts with any duties under any required provision of the Trust
Indenture Act imposed hereon by Section 318(c) thereof, such required
provision shall control.  If any provisions of this Indenture modifies or
excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or
excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so
modified or excluded, as the case may be.

                 Section 109.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

                 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of
Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

                 Section 110.  Successors and Assigns.

                 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company
shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

                 Section 111.  Separability Clause.

                 In case any provision in this Indenture, any Security or any
Coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

                 Section 112.  Benefits of Indenture.

                 Nothing in this Indenture, any Security or any Coupon, express
or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any
Security Registrar, any Paying Agent and their successors hereunder and the
Holders of Securities or Coupons, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                 Section 113.  Governing Law.

                 This Indenture, the Securities and any Coupons shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made or instruments entered into and, in each case,
performed in said state.

                 Section 114.  Legal Holidays.

                 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity
or Maturity of any Security, or the last date on which a Holder has the right
to convert his Securities shall be a Legal Holiday at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security or
any Coupon other than a provision in any Security or Coupon that specifically
states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section 114) or
conversion payment of the Securities need not be made at such Place of Payment
on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day
at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, or on the last
such date for conversion, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on
such date or at such time for the period from and after such Interest Payment
Date or Stated Maturity or Maturity, or last such date for conversion, as the
case may be.

                 Each Registered Security, Bearer Security, Coupon and
temporary global Security issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be in the

indentures supplemental hereto, shall have such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by

such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers executing such Security or Coupon as evidenced by their execution of
such Security or Coupon.

                 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
the Securities shall be issuable in registered form without Coupons.

lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a
steel engraved border or steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other

                 Section 202.  Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication.

                 Subject to Section 610, the Trustee's certificate of
authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

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

                 Section 203.  Securities in Global Form.

                 If Securities of a series shall be issuable in global form,
any such Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall
represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or
such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time
endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding
Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to
reflect exchanges.  Any endorsement of any Security in global form to reflect
the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights
of Holders, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such
manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the
Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section 303 or 304 with respect
thereto.  Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section
304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global
form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons
specified therein or in the applicable Company Order.  If a Company Order
pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Company with respect to a Security in global form shall be
in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers'
Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

                 The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Securities
may be issued in one or more series.

                 With respect to any Securities to be authenticated and

Resolution and set forth in an Officers' Certificate, or established in one or
more indentures supplemental hereto,

         of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of such series

         such Securities);

         and of like tenor and of any authorized form and denomination, and the

         Bearer Security held for its account and, in such event, the terms and
         conditions (including any certification requirements) upon which any

         the option of the Company and, if so, the period or periods within
         which, the price or prices at which and the other terms and conditions

         the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts
         with respect to any of such Securities shall be payable;

                 (15)  the Currency in which payment of principal of, any

         Securities shall be payable if other than the currency of the United
         States, and the time and manner of determining the exchange rate

         upon which and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined

         Events of Default or covenants of the Company with respect to any of
         such Securities, whether or not such Events of Default or covenants
         are consistent with the Events of Default or covenants set forth
         herein;

                 (18)  the applicability, if any, of Section 402 to any of such
         Securities and any provisions in modification of, in addition to or in
         lieu of any of the provisions of Section 402;

                 (19)  whether the principal of (and premium, if any) or

         currencies in which such Securities or any of them are denominated or
         stated to be payable and the currency or currencies, currency unit or
         units or composite currency or currencies in which such Securities or
         any of them are to be so payable;

                 (20)  if any of such Securities are to be issuable in global
         form and are to be issuable in definitive form (whether upon original
         issue or upon exchange of a temporary Security) only upon receipt of

                 (23)  any other terms of such Securities (which terms shall
         not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture).

                 All Securities of any one series and all Coupons, if any,
appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially
identical except as to Currency of payments due thereunder, denomination and
the rate or rates of interest, if any, and Maturity, the date from which
interest, if any, shall accrue and except as may otherwise be provided by the
Company in





                                       19
<PAGE>
or pursuant to the Board Resolution and set forth in the Officers' Certificate
or in any indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pertaining to such series
of Securities.  All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same
time and, unless otherwise so provided by the Company, a series may be reopened
for issuances of additional Securities of such series or to establish
additional terms of such series of Securities.

                 If any of the terms of the Securities of any series shall be
established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Board
Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of such series.

                 Section 302.  Currency; Denominations.

                 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to the Securities shall be payable in Dollars.  Unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, Registered Securities denominated in
Dollars shall be issuable in registered form without Coupons in denominations
of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities
denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000.
Securities not denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in such denominations
as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this
Indenture.

                 Section 303.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

                 Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, its President and Chief
Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer and any Assistant
Treasurer or one of its Senior Vice Presidents under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon and attested by its Corporate Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries.  Coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the
Company.  The signature of any of these officers on the Securities or any
Coupons appertaining thereto may be manual or facsimile.

                 Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Securities.

                 At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, together with
any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for
authentication, together with the Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate or
supplemental indenture with respect to such Securities referred to in Section
301 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities,
and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the
provisions hereof shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.  In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the





                                       20
<PAGE>
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Article Six hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an
Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that:

                 (a)  the form or forms and terms of such Securities and
         Coupons, if any, have been established in conformity with the
         provisions of this Indenture;

                 (b)  that such Securities, and Coupons, when completed by
         appropriate insertion and executed and delivered by the Company to the
         Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and
         authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company
         in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion
         of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of
         the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
         terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
         fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights generally, and subject to general principles of
         equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
         equity or at law) and except further as enforcement thereof may be
         limited by (A) requirements that a claim with respect to any
         securities denominated other than in Dollars (or a foreign currency or
         foreign currency unit judgment in respect of such claim) be converted
         into Dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined
         pursuant to applicable law or (B) governmental authority to limit,
         delay or prohibit the making of payments in foreign currency or
         currency units or payments outside the United States; and will entitle
         the Holders thereof to the benefits of this Indenture; such Opinion of
         Counsel need express no opinion as to the availability of equitable
         remedies;

                 (c)  all legal requirements in respect of the execution and
         delivery by the Company of such Securities and Coupons, if any, have
         been complied with; and

                 (d)  as to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably
         request.

                 If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at
one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an
Officers' Certificate at the time of issuance of each Security, but such
opinion and certificate, with appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at
or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.  After any
such first delivery, any separate request by the Company that the Trustee
authenticate Securities of such series for original issue will be deemed to be
a certification by the Company that all conditions precedent provided for in
this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such Securities
continue to have been complied with.

                 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause
an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any 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 or if the Trustee,
being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be
taken.

<PAGE>
                 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication.  Each Bearer Security and any temporary Bearer Security in
global form shall be dated as of the date specified in or pursuant to this
Indenture.

                 No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto 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 in Section 202 or 610 executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers
or by an Authenticating Agent.  Such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.  Except as permitted by Section 306 or
307, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless
all Coupons appertaining thereto then matured have been detached and cancelled.

                 Section 304.  Temporary Securities.

                 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company
may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 303,
temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu
of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant
to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons
and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may
determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
Such temporary Securities may be in global form.

                 Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form,
which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if
temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities
to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive
Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are
identical to those of any temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall
be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary
Securities at an Office or Agency for such Securities, without charge to any
Holder thereof.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of
authorized denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and
provisions; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security, except as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall be delivered in exchange for a
temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in
compliance with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture.
Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a
temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

                 Section 305.  Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

                 With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if
any, the Company shall cause to be kept a register (each such register being
herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") at an Office or Agency
for such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered
Securities of such series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such
series.  In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar, it
shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as Security Registrar for each series
of Securities.  In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security
Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the right to
examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times.

                 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered
Security of any series at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities
of the same series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture,
of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions.

                 At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any
series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series
containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and
of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be
exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series.  Whenever any Registered
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

                 If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to
Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of
such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series
containing identical terms, denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this
Indenture and in the same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series, with
all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining.
If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured
Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be
effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount
of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or
Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to
them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and
any Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security
shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which
such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive
the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for
such series located





                                       23
<PAGE>
outside the United States.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer
Security of any series is surrendered at any such Office or Agency for such
series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series and like tenor
after the close of business at such Office or Agency on (i) any Regular Record
Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the
relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the
opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the
Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as
the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer
Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the
Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall
not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as
the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for
such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon
when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

                 If expressly provided with respect to Securities of any
series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series may
be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be
provided with respect to such series.

                 Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange as
contemplated by the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in
or pursuant to this Indenture, any global Security shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it
is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depository and a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 60 days of the date
the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the Company executes and delivers
to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall be
so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
with respect to the Securities.  If the beneficial owners of interests in a
global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive
Securities, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the
earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and denominations, as
directed by the Depositary, as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture
and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of, such global Security, executed by the
Company.  On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the
U.S. Depository or such other Depository as shall be specified in the Company
Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the
Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such other Depository, as the case may be
(which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or
accompanied by an Officers' Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to
the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole
or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge.  The
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for





                                       24
<PAGE>
each portion of such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal
amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations
and of like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged, which
(unless such Securities are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as
Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for
the global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities
are issuable, as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the
form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof,
as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that
no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series and
continuing identical terms to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption
Date; and provided, further, that (unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a
global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the
United States.  Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global
Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depository or the U.S.
Depository, as the case may be, or such other Depository or U.S. Depository
referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred
to above.  If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a
global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for such
Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for
such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on
the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such
Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the
related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the
case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered
Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date
for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect
of such portion of such global Security shall be payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

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

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

                 No service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange, redemption or conversion of Securities, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 905 or
1107 not involving any transfer.

<PAGE>
                 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor
and the same series under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business (A)
if Securities of the series are issuable only as Registered Securities, on the
day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, and (B) if Securities
of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, on the day of the first
publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Securities of the
series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication,
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part,
the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer
Security so selected for redemption except, to the extent provided with respect
to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a
Registered Security of like tenor and the same series, provided that such
Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with
written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this
Indenture or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security
which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the
option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so
repaid.

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

                 If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated
Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 306, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series
containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto
corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.

                 If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security or Coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or
Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute
and, upon the Company's request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen
Coupon appertains with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a
new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with
Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertains.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 306,
in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon 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 or Coupon; provided,
however, that payment of principal of, any premium or interest on





                                       26
<PAGE>
or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Bearer Securities shall, except
as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an Office or Agency
for such Securities located outside the United States and, unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on Bearer Securities
and any Additional Amounts with respect to such interest shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto.

                 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 306,
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, with any Coupons appertaining thereto
issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen
Coupon appertains shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and Coupons appertaining
thereto or the destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such
series and any Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

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

                 Section 307.  Payment of Interest and Certain Additional
                               Amounts; Rights to Interest and Certain
                               Additional Amounts Preserved.

                 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered
Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close
of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.  Unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, in case a Bearer Security is
surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business
at an Office or Agency for such Security on any Regular Record Date therefor
and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date therefor, such Bearer Security shall be
surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and
interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the
Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be
payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

                 Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered
Security which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein
called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder
thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such
Holder; and





                                       27
<PAGE>
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 Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a
         Predecessor Security thereof) shall be 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 such Registered 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
         on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so
         deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person 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 the Holder of such Registered Security
         (or a Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in
         the Security 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 an Authorized Newspaper 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 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 Person in
         whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security
         thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on such Special
         Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
         Clause (2).  In case a Bearer Security is surrendered at the Office or
         Agency for such Security in exchange for a Registered Security after
         the close of business at such Office or Agency on any Special Record
         Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on
         the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such
         Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to
         such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest shall not be
         payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered
         Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be
         payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with
         the provisions of this Indenture.

                 (2)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in
         any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
         securities exchange on which such Security may be listed, and upon
         such notice as may be required by such





                                       28
<PAGE>
         exchange, 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.

                 At the option of the Company, interest on Registered
Securities that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register.

                 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307 and
Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by
such other Security.

                 Section 308.  Persons Deemed Owners.

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

                 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security or the bearer of any Coupon
as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving
payment thereof or on account thereof, for the purpose of conversion and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such
Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and neither the Company, nor the Trustee
or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

                 No holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security
held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture
with respect to such global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner
of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever.  None of the Company, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a global Security
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

                 Section 309.  Cancellation.

                 All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit
against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Coupons,
as well as Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any
such purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee.  The Company may at
any time





                                       29
<PAGE>
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 cancelled promptly by the
Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture.  All cancelled Securities and
Coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee, unless by a
Company Order the Company directs their return to it in a timely manner.

                 Section 310.  Computation of Interest.

                 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

                 Section 401.  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

                 Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving
rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly
provided for and any right to receive Additional Amounts), and the Trustee, on
receipt of a Company Order, 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 and all Coupons appertaining thereto (other than (i)
                 Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered in
                 exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such
                 exchange whose surrender is not required or has been waived as
                 provided in Section 305, (ii) Securities and Coupons which
                 have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
                 replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) Coupons
                 appertaining to Securities called for redemption and maturing
                 after the relevant Redemption Date whose surrender has been
                 waived as provided in Section 1107, and (iv) Securities and
                 Coupons for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
                 in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
                 thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
                 trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the
                 Trustee for cancellation; or

                          (B)  all Securities and, in the case of (i) or (ii)
                 below, any Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore
                 delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

                                  (i)  have become due and payable, or

<PAGE>
                                  (ii)  will become due and payable at their
                          Stated Maturity within one year, or

                                  (iii)  if redeemable at the option of the
                          Company, are to be called for redemption within one
                          year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
                          for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee
                          in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

                 and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
                 deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
                 funds in trust for such purpose, money and/or Government
                 Obligations which through the payment of interest and
                 principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms,
                 without consideration of any reinstatement thereof, will
                 provide not later than the opening of business on the due
                 dates of any payment of principal and any premium, interest
                 and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, or a combination
                 thereof, money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge
                 the entire indebtedness on such Securities and Coupons not
                 theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
                 including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and
                 any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities and any
                 Coupons appertaining thereto, to the date of such deposit (in
                 the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or
                 to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be;

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

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

                 In the event there are Securities of two or more series
hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with
respect to Securities of all series as to which it is Trustee and if the other
conditions thereto are met.  In the event there are two or more Trustees
hereunder, then the effectiveness of any such instrument shall be conditioned
upon receipt of each such instrument from all Trustees hereunder.

                 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 605, the
obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 610 and,
if money and/or Government Obligations shall have been deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 403 and the last paragraph of Section
1003 shall survive.

                 In the event that, subsequent to the date a discharge is
effected pursuant to this Section 401, Additional Amounts in excess of those
established as of the date such discharge is effected become payable in respect
of any Securities, in order to preserve the benefits of the discharge
established hereunder, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited in





                                       31
<PAGE>
accordance with provisions of this Section 401, within ten business days prior
to the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the existence of such excess
Additional Amounts is established and (ii) the date the first payment in
respect of any portion of such excess Additional Amounts becomes due, such
additional funds as are necessary to satisfy the provisions of this Section 401
as if a discharge were being effected as of the date of such subsequent
deposit.  For purposes of this paragraph, the existence of excess Additional
Amounts shall be deemed to have been established as of the date the
governmental authority imposing the tax, assessment or other governmental
charge resulting in the Additional Amounts first publishes the legislation,
regulation or other enactment adopting such tax, assessment or other
governmental charge.  Failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph
shall result in the termination of the benefits of the discharge established by
this Section 401.

                 Section 402.  Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance of
                               Securities of any Series.

                 If provision is made in or pursuant to this Indenture for
defeasance of Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto
pursuant to this Section 402, the Company may at any time elect to have this
Section 402 be applied to the outstanding Securities and the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the
Outstanding Securities of such series and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of such indebtedness, when

                 (1)  no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or
         would occur upon the giving of notice or the lapse of time at the time
         such satisfaction and discharge is being effected and either

                          (A)  with respect to all Outstanding Securities of
                 such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Company
                 has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
                 Trustee, as trust funds and/or obligations in trust for such
                 purpose, money and/or Government Obligations which through the
                 payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in
                 accordance with their terms, without consideration of any
                 reinvestment thereof, will provide not later than the opening
                 of business on the due dates of any payment of principal and
                 any premium, interest and Additional Amounts with respect
                 thereto, or a combination thereof, money in an amount
                 sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all
                 Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons
                 appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
                 for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and
                 interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to such
                 Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto to the date of
                 such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due
                 and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be,
                 as contemplated by the penultimate paragraph of this Section
                 402; or

                          (B)  the Company has properly fulfilled such other
                 means of satisfaction and discharge as is provided in or
                 pursuant to this Indenture for the Securities of such series;
                 and





                                       32
<PAGE>
                 (2)  the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
         payable hereunder with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such
         series and any Coupons appertaining thereto; and

                 (3)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee a certificate
         signed by Independent Public Accountants certifying as to the
         sufficiency of the amounts deposited pursuant to subsections (A)(i) or
         (ii) of this Section for payment of the principal of, any premium and
         interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities
         and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the dates such payments are
         due, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each such
         Certificate and Opinion stating that no Event of Default or event
         which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of
         Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and all
         conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction
         and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Securities
         of any such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have
         been complied with; and

                 (4)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee

                          (A)  an opinion of independent counsel that the
                 Holders of the Securities of such series and any Coupons
                 appertaining thereto shall have no federal income tax
                 consequences as a result of such deposit and termination; and

                          (B)  if the Securities of such series are then listed
                 on the New York Stock Exchange, an opinion of independent
                 counsel that the Securities of such series shall not be
                 delisted as a result of the exercise of this option.

                 Any deposits with the Trustee referred to in subsection (1)(A)
of this Section shall be irrevocable and shall be made under the terms of an
escrow trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee.  If
any Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior to their
Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in
accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement or otherwise, the
Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the
giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense,
of the Company.

                 Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Section 402 with respect to all the Outstanding Securities of any series and
any Coupons appertaining thereto, the terms and conditions of such series
(including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this
Indenture, other than the provisions of Sections 305, 306, and 1002 and other
than the right of Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons
appertaining thereto to receive, from the trust fund described in this Section,
payment of the principal of, any premium or the interest on, or any Additional
Amounts with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto
when such payments shall be due) and the rights, powers, duties and immunities
of the Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of such series shall no
longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company; provided that the
Company shall not be discharged from any payment obligations in respect of
Securities of such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto

which are deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition of
Outstanding if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the Company
under applicable law.

                 In the event that, subsequent to the date a defeasance is
effected pursuant to this Section 402 with respect to Securities of any series,
Additional Amounts in excess of those established as of the date such
defeasance is effected become payable in respect of such Securities, in order
to preserve the benefits of the defeasance established hereunder with respect
to such series, the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 402, within ten business days
prior to the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the existence of such
excess Additional Amounts is established and (ii) the date the first payment in
respect of any portion of such excess Additional Amounts becomes due, such
additional funds as are necessary to satisfy the provisions of this Section 402
as if a defeasance were being effected as of the date of such subsequent
deposit.  For purposes of this paragraph, the existence of excess Additional
Amounts shall be deemed to have been established as of the date the
governmental authority imposing the tax, assessment or other governmental
charge resulting in the Additional Amounts first publishes the legislation,
regulation or other enactment adopting such tax, assessment or other
governmental charge.  Failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph
shall result in the termination of the benefits of the defeasance established
by this Section 402 with respect to the Securities of such series.

                 Section 403.  Application of Trust Money.

                 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section
1003, all money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 401 or 402 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities, the Coupons and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons
entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts
for whose payment such money has or Government Obligations have been deposited
with or received by the Trustee; but such money and Government Obligations need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

         any Significant Subsidiary for money borrowed, whether such
         indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen
         and shall result in such indebtedness in principal amount in excess of
         $10,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the
         date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, and such
         acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled within a period of 30
         days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified
         mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee
         by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
         Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such event of

                 petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
                 composition of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary and

         commencement of any insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing
         by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of a petition or answer
         or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable law,
         or the consent by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to the
         filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession
         by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or similar

                 (8)  any other Event of Default provided in or pursuant to
         this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series.

                 If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series
notice of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture
Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character
specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such
notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence
thereof.  For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of such series.

                 Section 502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
                               Annulment.

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

                 At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with
respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a





                                       36
<PAGE>
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such 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
         of money sufficient to pay

                          (A)  all overdue installments of any interest on and
                 any Additional Amounts with respect to all Securities of such
                 series and any Coupon appertaining thereto,

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

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

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

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

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

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

                 The Company covenants that if

                 (1)  default is made in the payment of any installment of
         interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security or
         any Coupon appertaining thereto when such interest or Additional
         Amounts shall have become 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 or any
         premium on any Security at its Maturity,

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, with interest upon the overdue principal,
any premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be





                                       37
<PAGE>
legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional
Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and,
in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel.

                 If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay
the Trustee pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of
the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed
to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company
or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
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 and any Coupons appertaining thereto 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 such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

                 Section 504.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

                 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition
or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon
the Securities or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or
Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise,

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

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





                                       38
<PAGE>
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities or any Coupons to make such payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders of Securities or any Coupons, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 605.

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

                               Securities or Coupons.

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

                 Section 506.  Application of Money Collected.

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

                 FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any
         predecessor Trustee under Section 605;

                 SECOND:  To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid
         upon the Securities and any Coupons for principal and any premium,

         of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
         priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and
         payable on such Securities and Coupons for principal and any premium,
         interest and Additional Amounts, respectively;

                 THIRD:  The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled
         thereto.

                 Section 507.  Limitations on Suits.

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

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

                 (2)  the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
         the Outstanding Securities of such 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 such
         series;

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

                 Section 508.  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
                               Principal and any Premium, Interest and
                               Additional Amounts and to Convert any
                               Convertible Security.

                 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security or Coupon shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium and (subject
to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect
to such Security or payment of such Coupon, as the case may be, on the
respective Stated Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such Security or
Coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case
of repayment at the option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, on the date such repayment is due) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and shall have the right to convert any such
Security which is a Convertible Security in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof and to institute suit for enforcement of such right; and such
rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

                 Section 509.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

                 Section 510.  Rights and Remedies.

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

                 Section 511.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

                 Section 512.  Control by Holders of Securities.

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

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

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

                 (3)  such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of
         the other Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such
         action (subject to the provisions of Section





                                       41
<PAGE>
         601), it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty or
         ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are unduly
         prejudicial to such Holders; and

                 (4)  the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
         such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the
         action or proceedings so directed might involve the Trustee in
         personal liability.

                 Section 513.  Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

                 (1)  in the payment of the principal of, any premium or
         interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of
         such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto, or

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

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

                 Section 514.  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

                 The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company expressly
waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) all benefit or advantage of
any such law and covenant that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.

         protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
         hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

                 (e)  the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
         of the rights or powers vested in it by or pursuant to this Indenture
         at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any
         series or any Coupons appertaining thereto pursuant to this Indenture,

         security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
         which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
         direction;

         consent, order, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document,
         but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
         investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if
         the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
         investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours

         hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
         through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible

                 (j)  except for (i) a default under Sections 501(1) or (2)
         hereof, or (ii) any other event of which the Trustee has "actual
         knowledge" and which event, with the giving of notice or the passage
         of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under this
         Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any
         default or Event of Default unless specifically notified in writing of
         such event by the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in
         aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding; as used

                 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except
the Trustee's certificate of authentication, and in any Coupons shall be taken
as the statements of the Company and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating
Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or the Coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities
and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a
Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Company

pledgee of Securities or Coupons and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the

it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other Person.

                 Section 604.  Money Held in Trust.

                 Except as provided in Section 403 and Section 1003, money held
by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law and shall be held uninvested.  The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder
except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

                 Section 605.  Compensation and Reimbursement.

                 The Company agrees:

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

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

                 (3)  to indemnify the Trustee and its agents for, and to hold
         them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
         negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection
         with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
         hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves
         against, or investigating, any claim or liability in connection with
         the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties
         hereunder.

                 As security for the performance of the obligations of the
Company under this Section 605, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Securities of any series upon all property and funds held or collected by the
Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of,
and premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities
or any Coupons appertaining thereto.  When the Trustee incurs expenses or
renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Article
Five hereof, the expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel) and the compensation for the services in connection therewith are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
bankruptcy law.

                 Section 606.  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

                 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a
Corporation permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an
indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined
capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust
Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000.  If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be





                                       45
<PAGE>
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 606, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

                 Section 607.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of
                               Successor.

                 (a)  No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
         appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
         become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor
         Trustee pursuant to Section 608.

                 (b)  The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the
         Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to
         the Company.  If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
         required by Section 608 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
         within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
         resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
         the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

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

                 (d)  If at any time:

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

                          (2)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
                 Section 606 and shall fail to resign after written request
                 therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or

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

         then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board
         Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or
         the Securities of such series, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of
         the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona
         fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may,
         on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
         court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with
         respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a
         successor Trustee or Trustees.

                 (e)  If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
         incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of
         Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of





                                       46
<PAGE>
         one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board
         Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees
         with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being
         understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with
         respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and
         that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the
         applicable requirements of Section 608.  If, within one year after
         such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such
         vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
         series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
         delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor
         Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
         appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
         608, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
         such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee
         appointed by the Company.  If no successor Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company
         or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner
         required by Section 608, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona
         fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may,
         on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any
         court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
         Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

                 (f)  The Company shall give notice of each resignation and
         each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
         series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by
         first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Registered
         Securities, if any, of such series as their names and addresses appear
         in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are issued
         as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an
         Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the
         United States.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor
         Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
         of its Corporate Trust Office.

                 Section 608.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

                 (a)  Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee
         with respect to all Securities, 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, without any further act, deed or
         conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
         and duties hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of
         the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon
         payment of its charges, shall execute and deliver an instrument
         transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
         trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject to Section 1003, shall
         duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
         property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject
         nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 605.

                 (b)  Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee
         with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series,
         the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall
         execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each
         successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
         contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer
         and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights,
         powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
         successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring
         with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall
         be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
         powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
         Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is
         not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
         (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
         shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of
         the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood
         that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute
         such Trustees 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
         supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring
         Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such
         retiring Trustee shall 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 with respect to
         the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
         such successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set
         forth, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
         conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
         and duties of the retiring Trustee 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 such successor
         Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges with
         respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
         appointment of such successor relates and subject to Section 1003
         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.

                 (c)  Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a
         successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments
         for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
         successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in
         paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 608, as the case may be.

                 (d)  No Person shall accept its appointment hereunder as a
         successor Trustee unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
         Person shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

                 Section 609.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession
                               to Business.

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

                 Section 610.  Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

                 The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents
acceptable to the Company with respect to one or more series of Securities
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange,
registration of transfer or partial redemption or conversion thereof or
pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

                 Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company
and, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times be
a corporation that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as
trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is
authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating
Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with
Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000.  If at
any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 610, it shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in this Section 610.

                 Any Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to the
corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall
be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such
Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 610, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.

                 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Trustee and 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





                                       49
<PAGE>
any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (I)
mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to
which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses
appear in the Security Register, and (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 610.

                 The Trustee agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time
to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 610 and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 605.

                 The provisions of Sections 308, 602 and 603 shall be
applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

                 If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to one or
more series of Securities pursuant to this Section 610, the Securities of such
series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in
the following form:

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

                                              Authorized Signatory

                 If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally
issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of
authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment
where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon
original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested in writing (which writing need
not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers' Certificate by the Company),
shall appoint in accordance with this Section 610 an Authenticating Agent
having an office in a Place of Paymentdesignated by the Company with respect to
such series of Securities.

and every Holder of a Security theretofore or thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder and of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound
thereby.

                 Section 905.  Reference in Securities to Supplemental
                               Indentures.

execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall
if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as
to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If the Company

the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture
may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

                 Section 906.  Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

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

                                   COVENANTS

                 Section 1001.  Payment of Principal and any Premium, Interest
                                and Additional Amounts.

                 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the
Holders of the Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay
the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms thereof,
any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture.  Any interest due on any
Bearer Security on or before the Maturity thereof, and any Additional Amounts
payable with respect to such interest, shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto for such interest as they
severally mature.

                 Section 1002.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                 The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any
series of Securities an Office or Agency where Securities of such series (but
not Bearer Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of
Payment is located outside the United States) may be presented or surrendered
for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange or, if applicable, conversion and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such
series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served.  If Securities of a
series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject
to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an Office or Agency in a Place
of Payment for such series which is located outside the United States where
Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented
and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the Securities of such
series are listed on any stock exchange located outside the United States and
such stock exchange shall so require, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent
in the required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so
long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchange.  The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change
in the location, of such Office or Agency.  If at any time the Company shall
fail to maintain any such required Office or Agency or shall fail to furnish
the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
except that Bearer Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining
thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment at the place specified for
the purpose with respect to such Securities as provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive
all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

<PAGE>
                 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
no payment of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect
to Bearer Securities shall be made at any Office or Agency in the United States
or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an
account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however,
if amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in
Dollars, payment of principal of, any premium or interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to any such Security may be made at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee or any Office or Agency designated by the Company in The
City of New York, if (but only if) payment of the full amount of such
principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts at all offices outside the
United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with
this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or
other similar restrictions.

                 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
other Offices or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to
maintain an Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any
series for such purposes.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location
of any such other Office or Agency.  Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, the Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for
each series The City of New York, and initially appoints the Office or Agency
of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for such purpose.  Pursuant to
Section 301(9) of this Indenture, the Company may subsequently appoint a place
or places in The City of New York where such Securities may be payable.

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

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

                 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
any series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the
principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
to any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum of money
sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts
so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

                 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of
Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent





                                       58
<PAGE>
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that
such Paying Agent shall:

                 (1)  hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal
         of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
         to Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons
         entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
         otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;

                 (2)  give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or
         any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of
         any payment of principal, any premium or interest on or any Additional
         Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series;

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

                 Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, 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, any premium or interest
on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or any such premium or
interest or any such Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable shall
be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any
Coupon appertaining thereto 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 an Authorized
Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed to Holders
of Registered Securities of such series, or both, 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 or mailing nor shall it be
later than two years after such principal and any premium or interest or
Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

                 Section 1004.  Additional Amounts.

                 If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of
Additional Amounts, the Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such
Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as provided
therein.  Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of,
any Security of any series or any Coupon or the net proceeds received on the
sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of
such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as
excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express
mention is not made.

                 Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at
least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such
series of Securities (or if the Securities of such series shall not bear
interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal is
made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal or
interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in
the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee and the principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the
Trustee, an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent
or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such series
or the Coupons appertaining thereto who are United States Aliens without
withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge described in the Securities of such series.  If any such withholding
shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the
amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of
Securities or Coupons, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such
Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities.
The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable fees and expenses) reasonably incurred without negligence or bad
faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or
omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished
pursuant to this Section 1004.

                 Section 1005.  Limitation Upon Disposition of Voting Stock of
                                Significant Subsidiaries.

                 So long as any of the Securities shall be Outstanding but
subject to the provisions of Article Eight, the Company:

                 (a)  will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, sell,
         assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of, securities
         convertible into or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or
         purchase shares of, Voting Stock of a Significant Subsidiary (other
         than sales of directors qualifying shares), and will not permit a
         Significant Subsidiary to issue





                                       60
<PAGE>
         any shares of, or securities convertible into or options, warrants or
         rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, such Voting Stock
         (other than sales of directors qualifying shares) if, in each case,
         after giving effect to any such transaction and to the issuance of the
         maximum number of shares of Voting Stock of such Significant
         Subsidiary issuable upon the exercise of all such convertible
         securities, options, warrants or rights, such Significant Subsidiary
         would cease to be a Controlled Subsidiary, or

                 (b)  will not permit a Significant Subsidiary to

                          (i)  merge or consolidate with or into any other
                 corporation, unless the surviving corporation is the Company
                 or is, or upon consummation of the merger or consolidation
                 will become, a Controlled Subsidiary; or

                          (ii)  lease, sell or transfer all or substantially
                 all of its properties and assets to any corporation or other
                 Person, except to the Company or to a Controlled Subsidiary or
                 a Person that, upon such lease, sale or transfer, will become
                 a Controlled Subsidiary.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such sale, assignment or
transfer of securities, any such merger or consolidation or any such lease,
sale or transfer of properties and assets shall not be prohibited if required
(i) by any law or any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or
authority or (ii) as a condition imposed by any law or any rule, regulation or
order of any governmental agency or authority to the acquisition by the
Company, directly or indirectly, through purchase of stock or assets, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, of any Person, provided that, after giving effect
to such disposition and acquisition, (A) such Person will be a Controlled
Subsidiary, and (B) the Consolidated Assets of the Company will be at least
equal to the Consolidated Assets of the Company prior thereto; and nothing in
this section shall prohibit the Company from the sale or transfer of assets
pursuant to any securitization transaction.

                 Section 1006.  Limitation on Creation of Liens.

                 So long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding, the
Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur
or suffer to be created, assumed or incurred or to exist any pledge,
encumbrance or lien, as security for indebtedness for borrowed money, upon any
shares of, or securities convertible into or options, warrants or rights to
subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock of a Significant Subsidiary,
directly or indirectly, without making effective provision whereby the
Securities of all series shall be equally and ratably secured with any and all
such indebtedness if, treating such pledge, encumbrance or lien as a transfer
of the shares of, or securities convertible into or options, warrants or rights
to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Voting Stock subject thereto to the
secured party and to the issuance of the maximum number of shares of Voting
Stock of such Significant Subsidiary issuable upon the exercise of all such
convertible securities, options, warrants or rights, such Significant
Subsidiary would not continue to be a Controlled Subsidiary.

                 Section 1007.  Corporate Existence.

                 Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence and the corporate existence of each Significant Subsidiary
and its rights (charter and statutory) and franchises and those of each such
Significant Subsidiary; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any
Significant Subsidiary shall be required to preserve any such right or
franchise if the Company or such Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be,
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Holders.

                 Section 1008.  Waiver of Certain Covenants.

                 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with
any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 1005, 1006 or 1007 with
respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either shall waive such
compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and
the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition
shall remain in full force and effect.

                 Section 1009.  Company Statement as to Compliance; Notice of
                                Certain Defaults.

                 (a)  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be
contained in or accompanied by an Officers' Certificate) signed by the
principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal
accounting officer of the Company, stating that

                 (1)  a review of the activities of the Company during such
         year and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under
         his or her supervision, and

                 (2)  to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such
         review, (a) the Company has complied with all the conditions and
         covenants imposed on it under this Indenture throughout such year, or,
         if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition
         or covenant, specifying each such default known to him or her and the
         nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is
         continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
         become, an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is
         continuing, specifying each such event known to him and the nature and
         status thereof.

                 [(b)  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within five
days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which after
notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default pursuant to
clause (4) of Section 501.]

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

                 Section 1101.  Applicability of Article.

                 Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the
Company as permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made
in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise
provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article.

                 Section 1102.  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 the Securities of any series, with the same
issue date, interest rate, Stated Maturity and other terms, the Company shall,
at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series
to be redeemed.

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

                 If less than all the Securities of any series with the same
issue date, interest rate, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed,
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 portions of the principal amount of Registered
Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption
shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Registered Security of
such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a Security
of such series established herein or pursuant hereto.

                 If any Convertible Security selected for partial redemption is
converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to
the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security
shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption.
Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be
redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such
selection.

                 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security
Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

                 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context
otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities
shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in
part, to the portion of the principal of such Securities which has been or is
to be redeemed.

                 Section 1104.  Notice of Redemption.

                 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in
Section 106, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to
the Holders of Securities to be redeemed.  Failure to give notice by mailing in
the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities
designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to
any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof.

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

                 All notices of redemption shall state:

                 (1)  the Redemption Date,

                 (2)  the Redemption Price,

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

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

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

                 (6)  the place or places where such Securities, together (in
         the case of Bearer Securities) with all Coupons appertaining thereto,
         if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for
         payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest and
         Additional Amounts pertaining thereto,

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

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

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

                 (10)  the CUSIP number or the Euro-clear or the CEDEL
         reference numbers of such Securities, if any (or any other numbers

         Price then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the
         principal amount of the Securities or the portions thereof to be
         redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such Securities
         may be surrendered for conversion,

                 A notice of redemption published in an Authorized Newspaper as
contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular Registered Securities
to be redeemed.

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

                 Section 1105.  Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

                 If any Convertible Security or portion thereof called for
redemption is converted pursuant to Article Sixteen, any money deposited with
the Trustee or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such
Security or portion thereof shall (subject to any right of the Holder of the
Security on a Regular Record Date preceding such conversion to receive
interest) be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the
Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

                 Section 1106.  Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

                 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date
(unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons
for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed,
except to the extent provided below, shall be void.  Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in





                                       65
<PAGE>
accordance with said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the
Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest and
Additional Amounts to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments
of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
Coupons for such interest (at an Office or Agency located outside the United
States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002), and provided, further,
that installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.

                 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such
missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there
be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save
each of them and any Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such
Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing
Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption
Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted;
provided, however, that any interest or Additional Amounts represented by
Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons
at an Office or Agency for such Security located outside of the United States
except as otherwise provided in Section 1002.

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

                 Section 1107.  Securities Redeemed in Part.

                 Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part
shall be surrendered at any Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the
Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or
Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered.  If a Security in global form is so surrendered,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the U.S. Depository or other Depository for such Security in global form as
shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee,
without service charge, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal
to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security
in global form so surrendered.

                 Section 1108.  Conversion Arrangements on Call for Redemption.

                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture, in connection with any redemption of Convertible Securities of any
series, the Company, by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or
other purchasers, may arrange for such purchasers to purchase all such
Convertible Securities called for redemption (the "Called Securities") which
are either (i) surrendered for redemption or (ii) not duly surrendered for
redemption or conversion prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date,
and to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, by the purchasers'
depositing with the Trustee (acting as Paying Agent with respect to the deposit
of such amount and as conversion agent with respect to the conversion of such
Called Securities), in trust for the Holders of the Called Securities, on or
prior to the Redemption Date in the manner agreed to by the Company and such
purchasers, an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price, payable by the
Company on redemption of such Called Securities.  In connection with any such
arrangement for purchase and conversion, the Trustee as Paying Agent shall pay
on or after the Redemption Date such amounts so deposited by the purchasers in
exchange for Called Securities surrendered for redemption prior to the close of
business on the Redemption Date and for all Called Securities surrendered after
such Redemption Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article Eleven, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price
of such Called Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such
amount is so paid by such purchasers, provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 1108 shall in any way relieve the Company of the obligation to pay such
Redemption Price on all Called Securities to the extent such amount is not so
paid by said purchasers.  For all purposes of this Indenture, any Called
Securities surrendered by the Holders for redemption, and any Called Securities
not duly surrendered for redemption or conversion prior to the close of
business on the Redemption Date, shall be deemed acquired by such purchasers
from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion and shall
in all respects be deemed to have been converted, all as of immediately prior
to the close of business on the Redemption Date, subject to the deposit by the
purchasers of the above amount as aforesaid.  Nothing in this Section 1108
shall in any way limit the right of any Holder of a Security to convert his
Security pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and of such Security at any
time prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date applicable thereto.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                 SINKING FUNDS

                 Section 1201.  Applicability of Article.

                 The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any
sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise
permitted or required by any form of Security of such series issued pursuant to
this Indenture.

                 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory
sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount
provided for by the terms of Securities of such series is herein referred to as
an "optional sinking fund payment".  If provided for by the terms of





                                       67
<PAGE>
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be
subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202.  Each sinking fund payment
shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for
by the terms of Securities of such series.

                 Section 1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities.

                 The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any
sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any series to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of
such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption
or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to
the Company), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with
all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) apply as a credit
Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of
the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the
application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms
of such Securities or which have been surrendered for conversion pursuant to
Article Sixteen, provided that such series of Securities have not been
previously so credited.  Such Securities shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such
Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount
of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.  If as a result of
the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments
pursuant to this Section 1202, the principal amount of Securities of such
series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be
less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for
redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by
the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund
payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the
request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company
any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon
delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased
by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment
requested to be released to the Company.

                 Section 1203.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

                 Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date
for any series of Securities (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added
in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore
delivered.  If such Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional amount to
be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the
Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.  Not
less than 40 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall
select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to
be given





                                       68
<PAGE>
not less than 30 nor more than 40 days prior to the sinking fund payment date
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 1104.  Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
1106 and 1107.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                       REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

                 Section 1301.  Applicability of Article.

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

                                ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                        SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

                 Section 1401.  Applicability of Article.

                 Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the
determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in
which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same Currency, or (ii)
any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to
the contrary in the form of Security of any particular series, any amount in
respect of any Security denominated in a Currency other than Dollars shall be
treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that
could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as
of the record date with respect to Registered Securities of such series (if
any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there
shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the
date of such action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company
may specify in a written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such
written notice, as the Trustee may determine.

                       MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

                 Section 1501.  Purposes for Which Meetings May Be Called.

                 A meeting of Holders of Securities of any series may be called
at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Article to make, give or
take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders
of Securities of such series.

                 Section 1502.  Call, Notice and Place of Meetings.

                 (a)  The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series for any purpose specified in Section 1501, to be held
at such time and at such place in The City of New York, or, if Securities of
such series have been issued in whole or in part as Bearer Securities, in
London or in such place outside the United States as the Trustee shall
determine.  Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any series,
setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the
action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner
provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the

                 (b)  In case at any time the Company (by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution) or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series shall have requested the Trustee to call a
meeting of the Holders of Securities of such series for any purpose specified
in Section 1501, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the
action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made
the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after
receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to
be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of
such series in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine
the time and the place in The City of New York, or, if Securities of such
series are to be issued as Bearer Securities, in London for such meeting and
may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in
subsection (a) of this Section 1502.

                 The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting
of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, however, that if any action
is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which this
Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of not less than
66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, the
Persons entitled to vote 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum.  In the absence of a

meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such
series, be dissolved.  In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a

prior to the adjournment of such meeting.  In the absence of a quorum at any
such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a
period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting
prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting.  Notice of the reconvening
of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 1502(a), except
that such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the
date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened.  Notice of the
reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as
provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series which shall constitute a quorum.

                 Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any
resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which
a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
that series; provided, however, that, except as limited by the proviso to
Section 902, any resolution with respect to any consent or waiver which this
Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of not less than
66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be
adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly convened and at which a
quorum is present as aforesaid only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of
66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; and
provided, further, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any

Coupons appertaining thereto, whether or not such Holders were present or
represented at the meeting.

                                Adjournment of Meetings.

                 (a)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture,
the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for
any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series in regard to proof of the
holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in
regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote,

appropriate.  Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such
regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified
in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner
specified in Section 104 or by having the signature of the person executing the
proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized
by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities.  Such
regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on
their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in
Section 104 or other proof.

                 (b)  The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by
the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1502(b), in
which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the
meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.
A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected
by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

                 (c)  At any meeting, each Holder of a Security of such series
or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that
no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security
challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be
not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote,
except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

                 (d)  Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly
called pursuant to Section 1502 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned
from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and the
meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Meetings.

                 The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of
Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall
be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of
their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of
the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them.  The
permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who
shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting.

A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders
of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting
and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one
or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the
notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in
Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504.  Each copy shall be signed and
verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the
meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the
Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the
ballots voted at the meeting.  Any record so signed and verified shall be
conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

                                   CONVERSION

                 Section 1601.  Conversion Privilege.

                 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this
Article Sixteen and the terms of the Convertible Securities of the series
proposed to be converted, at the option of the Holder, any Convertible Security
or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof, may be converted into shares of Common Stock, as said shares
shall be constituted at the Date of Conversion, at the Conversion Price for
such Convertible Securities of such series in effect at the Date of Conversion.

                 Section 1602.  Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

                 In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of
any Convertible Security to be converted shall surrender such Convertible
Security to the Company at its office or agency in The City of New York,
together with the conversion notice in the form provided on the Securities (or
separate written notice) duly executed, and, if so required by the Company,
accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and
to the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney
in writing.  Any Registered Convertible Security so surrendered during the
period from the close of business on the Regular Record Date preceding an
Interest Payment Date for such Registered Convertible Security to the opening
of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (unless any such Registered
Convertible Security or the portion thereof being converted shall have been
called for redemption on a Redemption Date during such period, in which event
no interest shall be payable with respect to such Registered Convertible
Security or portion thereof, as the case may be, following such Redemption
Date) also be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other
funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on
such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Registered
Convertible Security then being converted; provided, however, that no such
payment need be made if there shall exist, at the time of conversion, a default
in the payment of interest on the Convertible Securities of such series.
Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustment shall
be made for interest accrued on any Convertible Security that shall be
converted or for dividends on any shares of Common Stock that shall be
delivered upon the conversion of such Convertible





                                       73
<PAGE>
Securities.  The funds so delivered to such office or agency shall be paid to
the Company on or after such Interest Payment Date, unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in
which event such funds shall be repaid to the Person who delivered the same.
As promptly as practicable after the surrender of any Convertible Security for
conversion as aforesaid, the Company shall deliver at said office or agency to
such Holder, or on his written order, a certificate or certificates for the
number of full shares deliverable upon the conversion of such Convertible
Security or portion thereof and a check or cash in respect of any fraction of a
share of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such conversion, all as
provided in this Article Sixteen, together with a Convertible Security or
Convertible Securities of the same series in principal amount equal to the
unconverted and unredeemed portion, if any, of the Convertible Security so
converted in accordance with Section 305 hereof.  Such conversion shall be
deemed to have been effected on the date on which such notice shall have been
received at said office or agency and such Convertible Security shall have been
surrendered as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any
certificate or certificates, for shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable
upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the Holder or
Holders of record of the shares represented thereby, provided, however, that
any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company
shall be closed shall constitute the Person or Persons in whose name or names
the certificates are to be delivered as the record Holder or Holders thereof
for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books
are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the
date of such surrender.

                 Section 1603.  Cash Adjustment Upon Conversion.

                 The Company shall not be required to deliver fractions of
shares of Common Stock upon conversions of Convertible Securities.  If more
than one Convertible Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time
by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be deliverable upon
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities so surrendered.  If any fractional interest in a share
of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any Convertible
Security or Securities, the Company shall make an adjustment therefor in cash
equal to the current market value of such fractional interest computed to the
nearest cent either on the basis of the last reported sale price regular way of
the Common Stock on the New York Exchange (or, if not listed on the New York
Exchange, then on such other exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are
listed as the Company may designate) on the last Business Day prior to the Date
of Conversion or, if there shall not have been a sale on such last Business
Day, on the basis of the average of the bid and asked quotations therefor on
such exchange on such last Business Day or, if the Common Stock shall not then
be listed on any exchange, at the highest bid quotation in the over-the-counter
market on such last Business Day as reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers through NASDAQ, its automated system for reporting quotes,
or its successor or such other generally accepted source of publicly reported
bid and asked quotations as the Company may reasonably designate.

                 Section 1604.  Conversion Price.

                 The Conversion Price applicable to any series of Convertible
Securities shall be the initial Conversion Price set forth on the Officers'
Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such series adjusted as
provided in this Article Sixteen.

                 Section 1605.  Adjustment of Conversion Price.

                 The Conversion Price applicable to any series of Convertible
Securities shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

                 (a)  In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to
         time while the Securities of any series are Outstanding, (i) pay a
         dividend on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
         its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
         or (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of
         shares, the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately
         prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security of
         such series thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to
         receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of
         the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive
         after the happening of any of the events described above, had such
         Convertible Security of such series been converted immediately prior
         to the happening of such event.  An adjustment made pursuant to this
         subdivision (a) shall become effective, in the case of a dividend, on
         the payment date retroactively to immediately after the opening of
         business on the day following the record date for the determination of
         stockholders entitled to receive such dividend, subject to the
         provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 1605, and shall become
         effective in the case of a subdivision or combination immediately
         after the opening of business on the day following the day when such
         subdivision or combination, as the case may be, becomes effective.

                 (b)  In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to
         time while the Convertible Securities of any series are Outstanding,
         issue rights or warrants to all holders of its shares of Common Stock
         entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days of the record
         date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
         Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per
         share of Common Stock (as defined in paragraph (d) below) at such
         record date, the Conversion Price of any series of Convertible
         Securities in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such rights
         or warrants shall be adjusted as follows: the number of shares of
         Common Stock into which $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
         Securities of such series was theretofore convertible shall be
         multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number
         of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such record
         date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
         subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the
         number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
         record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering
         price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such
         current market price; and the Conversion Price for such series of
         Convertible Securities shall be





                                       75
<PAGE>
         adjusted by dividing $1,000 by the new number of shares into which
         $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series shall be
         convertible as aforesaid.  Such adjustment shall become effective on
         the date of such issuance retroactively to immediately after the
         opening of business on the day following the record date for the
         determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or
         warrants, subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section
         1605.  In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the
         holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less
         than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate
         offering price of such shares, there shall be taken into account any
         consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the
         value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by
         the Board of Directors.

                 (c)  In case the Company shall, at any time from time to time
         while the Convertible Securities of any series are Outstanding,
         distribute to all holders of shares of its Common Stock evidences of
         its indebtedness or securities or assets (excluding cash dividends or
         cash distributions payable out of consolidated net earnings or
         retained earnings) or rights or warrants to subscribe for shares of
         Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price
         per share of Common Stock, determined in the manner set forth in
         paragraph (d) below, but excluding rights or warrants referred to in
         paragraph (b) above, the Conversion Price for such series of
         Convertible Securities in effect immediately prior to such
         distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of
         Common Stock into which $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
         Securities of such series of Convertible Securities was theretofore
         convertible by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the current
         market price per share of Common Stock (as defined in paragraph (d)
         below) on the record date for such distribution, and of which the
         denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common
         Stock, less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of
         Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of
         the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets or
         of such subscription rights or warrants so distributed applicable to
         one share of Common Stock; and the Conversion Price for such series of
         Convertible Securities shall be adjusted by dividing $1,000 by the new
         number of shares into which $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
         Securities of such series shall be convertible as aforesaid.  Such
         adjustment shall become effective on the date of such distribution
         retroactively to immediately after the opening of business on the day
         following the record date for the determination of shareholders
         entitled to receive such distribution, subject to the provisions of
         paragraph (g) of this Section 1605.  For the purposes of this
         paragraph (c) consolidated net earnings or retained earnings shall be
         computed by adding thereto all charges against retained earnings on
         account of dividends paid in shares of Common Stock in respect of
         which the Conversion Price has been adjusted, all as determined by
         Independent Public Accountants, whose determination shall be
         conclusive.

                 (d)  For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b)
         and (c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock at
         any date shall be deemed to be the average of the market values of the
         shares of Common Stock for the ten consecutive





                                       76
<PAGE>
         Business Days immediately preceding the day in question.  The market
         value of the Common Stock for each day shall be determined as provided
         in Section 1603 hereof.

                 (e)  The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion
         Price for any series of Convertible Securities, in addition to those
         required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section as it
         considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal
         income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not
         be taxable to the recipients.

                 (f)  Except as herein otherwise provided, no adjustment in the
         Conversion Price for any series of Convertible Securities shall be
         made by reason of the issuance, in exchange for cash, property or
         services, of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into
         or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or carrying the right to
         purchase any of the foregoing.

                 (g)  If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
         shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
         any dividend or any subscription or purchase rights or any
         distribution and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to
         shareholders of any such dividend, subscription or purchase rights or
         distribution, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such
         dividend, subscription or purchase rights or distribution, then no
         adjustment of the Conversion Price for any series of Convertible
         Securities shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

                 (h)  No adjustment in the Conversion Price for any series of
         Convertible Securities shall be required unless such adjustment would
         require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price;
         provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
         paragraph (h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
         taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations
         under this Article Seventeen shall be made to the nearest cent or to
         the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

                 (i)  Whenever the Conversion Price for any series of
         Convertible Securities is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
         shall (i) forthwith place on file at the Principal Office of the
         Trustee an Officers' Certificate showing in detail the facts requiring
         such adjustment and the Conversion Price after such adjustment and
         shall exhibit the same from time to time to any Holder of Convertible
         Securities of such series desiring an inspection thereof, and (ii)
         cause a notice stating that such adjustment has been effected and the
         adjusted Conversion Price to be mailed to the Holders of Registered
         Convertible Securities of such series at their last addresses as they
         shall appear on the Security Register.

                 (j)  The Company may delete, modify or vary any of the
         provisions applicable to conversion of the Convertible Securities of
         any series, or may add new provisions applicable thereto, all as may
         be contained in the Board Resolutions and Officers' Certificate or
         supplemental indenture establishing such series.

                 Section 1606.  Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations,
                                Mergers or Sales on Conversion Privilege.

                 In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding
shares of the class of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination), or in case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with one
or more other corporations (other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Securities), or in case of the merger of the Company into
another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety, the Holders of Convertible Securities of each series then
Outstanding shall have the right to convert such Convertible Securities into
the kind and amount of shares of capital stock or other securities and
property, including cash, receivable upon such reclassifications change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock into which such Convertible Securities might have been
converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance.  In any such case the Company, or such successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee one
or more supplemental indentures (which shall conform to the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939 as in force at the date of the execution of such supplemental
indenture) containing provisions to the effect set forth above in this Section
1606 and providing further for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent
as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article Sixteen;
and any such adjustment which shall be approved by the Board of Directors and
set forth in such supplemental indenture or supplemental indentures shall be
conclusive for all purposes of this Section, and the Trustee shall not be under
any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provision contained in
such supplemental indenture or supplemental indentures relating to either the
kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property receivable by
Holders of Securities of any series upon the conversion of their Convertible
Securities after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance.

                 The above provisions of this Section 1606 shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales
and conveyances.

                 Section 1607.  Taxes on Conversions.

                 The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Convertible
Securities shall be made without charge to the converting Holder of Convertible
Securities for any tax in respect of the issue thereof.  The Company shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than
that of the Holder of any Registered Convertible Security converted, and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate
unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have
paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

                 Section 1608.  Company to Reserve Common Stock.

                 The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares or its issued shares
held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the Securities, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as
shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
Outstanding Securities.

                 If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved for
the purpose of conversion of Securities hereunder require registration with or
approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or State law before
such shares may be validly delivered upon conversion, then the Company
covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor
to secure registration or approval, as the case may be.

                 The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which
may be delivered upon conversion of Convertible Securities shall upon delivery
be fully paid and nonassessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue or delivery thereof.

                 Section 1609.  Disclaimer by Trustee of Responsibility for
Certain Matters.

                 Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time
be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Convertible Securities of
any series to determine whether any facts exist which may require any
adjustment of the Conversion Price for such series, or with respect to the
nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the
method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be
employed, in making the same, subject, however, to the provisions of Sections
315(a) through 315(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.  Neither the Trustee nor any
conversion agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or
the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or
property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of
any Convertible Security; and neither of them makes any representation with
respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be
responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to
issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or
other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose
of conversion or, subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act, to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in
this Article Sixteen.

                 Section 1610.  Company to Give Notice of Certain Events.

                 In the event

                 (A)  that the Company shall pay any dividend or make any
         distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock otherwise than
         in cash charged against consolidated net earnings or retained earnings
         of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or in Common Stock;
         or





                                       79
<PAGE>
                 (B)  that the Company shall offer for subscription or
         purchase, pro rata, to the holders of shares of Common Stock any
         additional shares of stock of any class or any securities convertible
         into or exchangeable for stock of any class; or

                 (C)  of any reclassification or change of outstanding shares
         of the class of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
         Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
         par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
         subdivision or combination), or of any merger or consolidation of the
         Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation
         (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the
         continuing corporation and which does not result in reclassification
         or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon
         conversion of the Securities), or of any sale or conveyance to another
         corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or
         substantially as an entirety;

then, and in any one or more of such events, the Company will give to the
Trustee and each conversion agent written notice thereof at least fifteen days
prior to (i) the record date fixed with respect to any of the events specified
in (A) and (B) above, and (ii) the effective date of any of the events
specified in (C) above; and shall mail in the case of Registered Securities,
promptly a copy of such notice to the Holders thereof at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Security Register or, in the case of Bearer
Securities, cause such notice to be published in an Authorized Newspaper.
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or
