Paying Agent for the Notes.

          (b)  The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the

request to a Paying Agent, require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it
to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed.  Upon doing so, the
Paying Agent will have no further liability for the money so paid over to the
Trustee.

          Section 2.04. Replacement Notes.  If a mutilated Note is surrendered
to the Trustee or the Company or if a Holder claims that its Note has been
lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company will issue and the Trustee
will authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.  Every replacement Note is
an additional obligation of the Company and entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture.  An indemnity must be furnished by the Holder that is sufficient in
the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company and the
Trustee from any loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may
charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing
a Note.  In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may
pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note.  Upon the issuance of any
replacement Note under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      13



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.

          Section 2.05. Outstanding Notes.

          (a)  Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been
authenticated by the Trustee except for:

          (i)  Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for
          cancellation;

          (ii) any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.04 unless
          and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to
          them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose
          hands such Note is a valid obligation of the Company; and

          (iii)     on or after the maturity date or any redemption date, those
          Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which
          the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or an Affiliate
          of the Company) holds in trust money sufficient to pay all amounts
          then due; provided that if such Notes, or portions thereof, are to be
          redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption
          shall have been given as herein provided, or provisions satisfactory
          to the Trustee shall have been made for giving such notice; and

          (iv) solely to the extent provided in Article VIII, Notes which are
          subject to legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as provided in
          Section 8.02 or 8.03.

          (b)  A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or
one of its Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the
Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given
or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding (it being
understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon
any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to be
so owned will be so disregarded).  Notes so owned which have been pledged in
good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such
Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

          (c)  In determining whether the holders of the requisite principal
amount of outstanding Notes of any or all series have given any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (a) the
principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Note that shall be deemed to be
outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that
would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a
declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof, and (b) Notes owned
beneficially by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes with respect to
which such determination is being made or any Person, directly or indirectly,
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect control with the
Company or any other obligor on the Notes with respect to which such
determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      14



outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected
in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or waiver, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows
to be so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned by the Company which
have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for such purpose
if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's
right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the
Issuer.

          Section 2.06. Temporary Notes.  Until definitive Notes of any series
are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will
authenticate temporary Notes upon a Company Order.  Temporary Notes will be
substantially in the form of definitive Notes of such series but may have
insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be
appropriate by the Officers executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the
execution and authentication of the temporary Notes.  If temporary Notes are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without
unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary
Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary
Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose
pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for
cancellation of any temporary Notes, the Company will execute and the Trustee
will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Notes of authorized denominations.  Until so exchanged, the
temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as
definitive Notes.

          Section 2.07. Cancellation.  The Company at any time may deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated
hereunder that the Company has not issued and sold.  Any Registrar or the
Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for
transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered
for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in
accordance with its normal procedures or a Company Order.  The  Trustee shall
deliver certification of all cancelled Notes to the Company and shall return
cancelled Notes to the Company upon written request.  The Company may not issue
new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.  If the Company acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition shall
not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of indebtedness represented by such
Notes unless or until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

          Section 2.08. CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may
use "CUSIP" numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers in notices of
redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders.  Any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange
and reliance may be placed only on the identification number printed on the
Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect
or omission in such numbers.  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
any change in the CUSIP numbers.

          Section 2.09. Transfer and Exchange.

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      15



          (a)  The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without
coupons, and the Company shall cause the Registrar to maintain the Register
for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers
and exchanges of the Notes.

          (b)  (i)  Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the
Depositary or its nominee.  The Depositary shall be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act.  The Company initially appoints DTC to act
as Depositary with respect to the Notes in global form.  Initially, the Global
Notes shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian
for Cede & Co.  So long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, each
Global Note will bear the DTC Legend.

          (ii) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian
for the Depositary.  Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest
therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, by the
Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary except as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(iv).

          (iii)     Agent Members will have no rights under the Indenture with
respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the
Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note
for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or
its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any
Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note
through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take
under the Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between
the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.

          (iv) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor
depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice or
(y) the Company notifies the Trustee to effect such exchange, the Trustee will
promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more
Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate
principal amount and registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial
interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the
Global Note will be deemed canceled.

          (v)  Unless otherwise provided herein or in a Board Resolution or
Officers' Certificate establishing a series of Notes or in an indenture
supplemental hereto, beneficial interests in a Global Note may not be exchanged
for Certificated Notes.

          (c)  Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the
Holder thereof or its nominee.

          (d)  A Holder may transfer a Note of any series (or a beneficial
interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note of any series (or a
beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      16



denomination of the same series by presenting to the Trustee a written request
therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an
exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document
reasonably required by the Trustee.  The Trustee will promptly register any
transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the
same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that:

          (i)  no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is
     registered in such register, and

          (ii) the Trustee will not be required (x) to issue, register the
     transfer of or exchange any Note of any particular series for a period
     of 15 days before a selection of Notes of that series to be redeemed or
     purchased, (y) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so
     selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the
     case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not
     being redeemed or purchased, or (z) if a redemption or a purchase is to
     occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding
     Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange such Note
     on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or
     purchase.  Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the
     Trustee and their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is
     registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or
     not the Note is overdue) and will not be affected by notice to the
     contrary.

          From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration
of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.

          No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of any Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge
payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(iv)).

          (e)  (i)  Global Note to Global Note.  If a beneficial interest in a
Global Note of any particular series is transferred or exchanged for a
beneficial interest in another Global Note of the same series, the Trustee will
(x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being
transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or
exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other
Global Note.  Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is so transferred
to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global
Note, or so exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon such
transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become
an interest in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an
interest.

          (ii) Global Note to Certificated Note.  If a beneficial interest in a
Global Note of any particular series is transferred or exchanged for a
Certificated Note of the same series, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in
the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such
transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes of such
series in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      17



the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial
interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such
transferee or owner, as applicable.

          (iii)     Certificated Note to Global Note.  If a Certificated Note
of any particular series is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest
in a Global Note of the same series, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated
Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal
to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that
such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the
canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new
Certificated Notes of the same series in authorized denominations having an
aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of
the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
(iv) Certificated Note to Certificated Note.  If a Certificated Note of any
particular series is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note of
the same series, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being
transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes of
such series in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee
(in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in
the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder,
as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the
entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the
Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes of such series in authorized
denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred
or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the
name of the Holder thereof.

          Section 2.10. Noteholder Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to
it of the names and addresses of Noteholders, separately by series, and shall
otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a).  If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven
Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as
the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as
the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders,
separately by series, relating to such Interest Payment Date or request, as
the case may be.

          Section 2.11. Defaulted Interest.  If the Company defaults in a
payment of interest on the Notes of any series, such installment of interest
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes
were registered on the Regular Record Date applicable to such installment of
interest.  Defaulted interest (including any interest on such defaulted
interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause
(a) or (b) below.

          (a)  The Company may elect to make payment of any defaulted interest
     (including any interest on such defaulted interest) to the Holders in
     whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special
     record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (a "Special Record
     Date"), which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Company shall
     notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed
     to be paid and the date of the proposed payment.  Thereupon the Trustee
     shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      18



     interest, which shall not be more than 15 calendar days and not less than
     10 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
     than 10 calendar 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 payments of such defaulted
     interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent, first-class
     mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder's address as it
     appears in the registration books of the Registrar, at least 15 calendar
     days prior to 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
     Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business
     on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
     the following clause (b).

          (b)  Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any defaulted
     interest (including any interest on such defaulted interest) in any other
     lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
     exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
     required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the
     Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner
     of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

          Section 2.12. Computation of Interest.  Except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Notes of any series, any interest on the
Notes of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

                                  ARTICLE III.
                                   REDEMPTION

          Section 3.01. Method and Effect of Redemption.

          (a)  If the Company elects to redeem Notes of any series pursuant to
the optional redemption provisions (if any) thereof, it must notify the Trustee
of the redemption date, the redemption price and the principal amount of Notes
of that series to be redeemed by delivering written notice at least 45 days
before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the
Trustee).  Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such
redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no
effect.  If fewer than all of the Notes of any series are being redeemed, the
particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior
to the redemption date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Notes of such
series not previously called for redemption, by such method as may be specified
by the terms of such Notes or, if no such method is so specified, by such
method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.  The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be
called for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Except as otherwise
provided as to any particular series of Notes, Notes and portions thereof that
the Trustee selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Notes of the series to be redeemed or any integral multiple
thereof, except that if all of the Notes of the series are to be redeemed, the
entire outstanding amount of the Notes of the series held by such Holder, even
if not equal to the minimum authorized denomination for the Notes of that

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      19



series, shall be redeemed.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes
called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

          (b)  Notice of redemption must be mailed by first-class mail by the
Company or at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company, to Holders at the address set forth in the most recent
noteholder list described in Section 2.10 hereof whose Notes are to be redeemed
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date.  The
notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or
state the following:

          (1)  the redemption date;

          (2)  the redemption price fixed in accordance with the terms of the
Notes of the series to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date
fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Price");

          (3)  the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered to the
Paying Agent for redemption;

          (4)  that Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered to the
Paying Agent in order to collect the Redemption Price;

          (5)  that, on the redemption date, the Redemption Price will become
due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and, unless the Company
defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest on Notes called for
redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

          (6)  if less than all the outstanding Notes of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

          (7)  if any Note contains a CUSIP number, no representation is being
made as to the correctness of the CUSIP number either as printed on the Notes
or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; and

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

          (c)  Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called
for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption
date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Company shall
redeem such Notes at the Redemption Price.  Commencing on the redemption date,
Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest.  Upon surrender of any Note
redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount
to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note.

          Section 3.02. Exclusion of Certain Notes From Eligibility for
Selection for Redemption.  Notes shall be excluded from eligibility for
selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate
number in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      20



prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being
owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either
(a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written
statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company.

          Section 3.03. Deposit of Redemption Price.  Prior to 10:00 a.m. on
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 4.04) an amount of money sufficient
to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the redemption date shall be an
Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to the Board
Resolutions or in the supplemental indenture executed in connection with the
particular series of Notes) any accrued interest on, all the Notes or portions
thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

                                  ARTICLE IV.
                                   COVENANTS

          Section 4.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.  The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Notes that it
will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest
on, each of the Notes of such series (together with any additional amounts
payable pursuant to the terms of such Notes) at the place or places, at the
respective times and in the manner provided in such Notes and in this
Indenture.  Each installment of interest on any Note may at the Company's
option be paid by mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the
written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.03, to the
address of such Person as it appears on the Register or by wire transfer to an
account of the Person entitled thereto as such account shall be provided to the
Registrar and shall appear on the Register.  At the option of the Company, all
payments of principal may be paid by official bank check to the Holder of the
Note or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such Note.

          Section 4.02. Offices for Payments, Etc. The Company will maintain
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an agency where the Notes of
each series may be presented for payment, an agency where the Notes of each
series may be presented for exchange as is provided in this Indenture and, if
applicable, pursuant to Section 2.03 an agency where the Notes of each series
may be presented for registration of transfer as is provided in this Indenture,
which, in each case, initially shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee.

          The Company will give to the Trustee written notice of the location
of each such agency and of any change of location thereof.  In case the Company
shall fail to maintain any agency required by this Section to be located in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice
of the location or of any change in the location of any of the above agencies,
presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.  The Company hereby initially appoints
the Trustee as its agency for each of said purposes.

          The Company may from time to time designate one or more additional
agencies where the Notes of a series may be presented for payment, where the

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      21



Notes of that series may be presented for exchange as provided in this
Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.03 and where the Notes of that series may
be presented for registration of transfer as provided in this Indenture, and
the Company may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Company
may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to
maintain the agency provided for in the first paragraph of this Section 4.02.
The Company will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such
designation or rescission thereof.

          Section 4.03. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee.
The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of
Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.08, a Trustee, so
that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Notes
hereunder.

          Section 4.04. Paying Agents.  Whenever the Company shall appoint a
paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series, it
will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section,

          (a)  that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the
          payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes of such series
          in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes of such series
          or of the Trustee;

          (b)  that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
          Company to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the
          Notes of such series when the same shall be due and payable; and

          (c)  that at any time during the continuance of any such failure,
          upon the written request of the Trustee it will forthwith pay to the
          Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent.

          The Company will, prior to each due date of the principal of or
interest on the Notes of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum
sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such
paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
any failure to take such action.

          If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the
Notes of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or
interest on the Notes of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of the holders of the Notes of such series a sum sufficient to
pay such principal or interest so becoming due.  The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

          Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining satisfaction and discharge of
one or more series of Notes, or for any other reason, pay, or cause to be paid,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent, such
sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent.

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      22
         Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the
agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the
provisions of Section 8.05.

          Section 4.05. Written Statement to Trustee.  The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee on or before May 15 in each year (beginning with May 15,
2003) a written statement, signed by two of its officers one of which shall be
the principal executive, principal financial or principal accounting officer
to the Company (which need not comply with Section 12.05 hereof), stating that
in the course of the performance of their duties as officers of the Company
they would normally have knowledge of any default by the Company in the
performance or fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or condition contained
in this Indenture, without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace,
stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such default and, if so,
specifying each such default of which the signers have knowledge and the nature
thereof.

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in
any event within five days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of
any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or
both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate setting
forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the
Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

          Section 4.06. [Reserved].

          Section 4.07. Limitation on Liens.  (a)  The Company will not itself,
and will not permit any Domestic Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or
guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed evidenced by notes, bonds,
debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness ("Debt"), secured by a
mortgage or other encumbrance (a "Mortgage") on any Principal Manufacturing
Property of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or
Debt of any Domestic Subsidiary which owns a Principal Manufacturing Property,
without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and
ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt, so long as such secured Debt
shall be so secured; provided, however, that this Section shall not apply to,
and there shall be excluded from secured Debt in any computation under this
Section, Debt secured by:

          (1)  Mortgages of the Company or its Domestic Subsidiaries existing
     at the time of this Indenture;

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

          (3)  Mortgages on property or shares of stock of a Domestic
     Subsidiary existing at the time of acquisition thereof (including
     acquisitions through merger or consolidation) or to secure the payment
     of all or any part of the purchase price or construction cost thereof or
     to secure any Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days
     after, the acquisition of such property or shares or the completion of any
     such construction and commencement of full operation of such property for
     the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or
     construction cost thereof;

          (4)  Mortgages in favor of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary;

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      23



          (5)  Mortgages in favor of the United States of America, any State of
     the United States of America, or any subdivision, agency, department or
     other instrumentality thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or
     other payments pursuant to any contract or provision of any statute; and

          (6)  any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions,
     renewals or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any Debt secured by
     any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (5), inclusive;
     provided that (i) such extension, renewal or replacement Mortgage shall be
     limited to all or a part of the same property or shares of stock that
     secured the Mortgage extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on
     such property) and (ii) the Debt secured by such Mortgage at such time is
     not increased.

          (b)  Notwithstanding the limitations on liens described in Section
4.07(a), the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary may incur, issue, assume or
guarantee any Debt secured by a Mortgage on any Principal Manufacturing
Property of the Company or its Domestic Subsidiaries or any shares of stock or
Debt of any Domestic Subsidiary which owns a Principal Manufacturing Property,
in addition to that permitted above and without any obligation to secure the
Notes, provided that at the time of such incurrences, issuance, assumption or
guarantee of such Debt, and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not
exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          Section 4.08. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback.  (a)  The Company
will not itself, and it will not permit any Domestic Subsidiary to, enter into
any arrangement with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor
(not including the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary) or to which any such
lender or investor is a party, providing for the leasing by the Company or such
Subsidiary for a period, including renewals, in excess of three years of any
Principal Manufacturing Property of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary
which has been or is to be sold or transferred, more than 180 days after the
later of (i) the acquisition thereof, (ii) the completion of construction
thereof or (iii) the commencement of full operation thereof, by the Company or
any such Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any person to whom funds
have been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of
such Principal Manufacturing Property (herein referred to as a "Sale and
Leaseback Transaction") unless either:

          (1)  the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary could create Debt
     secured by a Mortgage pursuant to Section 4.07 on the Principal
     Manufacturing Property to be leased back in an amount equal to the
     Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction
     without equally and ratably securing the Notes, or

          (2)  the Company within 180 days after the sale or transfer shall
     have been made by the Company or by any such Subsidiary, applies an amount
     equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal
     Manufacturing Property sold and leased back pursuant to such arrangement
     or (ii) the fair market value of the Principal Manufacturing Property so
     sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement (as
     determined by any two of the following:  the Chairman, President, any Vice
     President, Treasurer and Controller of the Company) to the retirement of
     Funded Debt of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary; provided that the

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      24



     amount to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or
     any Domestic Subsidiary shall be reduced by (a) the principal amount of
     any Notes delivered within 180 days after such sale to the Trustee for
     retirement and cancellation, and (b) the principal amount of Funded Debt,
     other than Notes, voluntarily retired by the Company within 180 days after
     such sale.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no retirement referred to in
     this clause may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any
     mandatory sinking fund payment or any mandatory prepayment provision.

          (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section
     4.08, the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and
     Leaseback Transaction in addition to that permitted by paragraph (a) of
     this Section 4.08 and without any obligation to retire any Notes or other
     indebtedness referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.08, provided
     that at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and
     after giving effect thereto, Exempted Debt does not exceed 15% of
     Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
     taken as a whole.

          Section 4.09. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.  The Company
shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a
written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including
daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding Notes as of the end of
such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original
issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended from time to time.

                                   ARTICLE V.
                   CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

          Section 5.01. Company May Consolidate, Merge, Etc., on Certain Terms.
The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other
corporation or sell or convey (including by way of lease) all or substantially
all of its assets to any Person, unless (i) either the Company shall be the
continuing corporation, or the successor corporation or the Person which
acquires by sale or conveyance substantially all the assets of the Company
(if other than the Company) shall be a corporation or entity organized under
the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the
principal of and interest on all the Notes of each series, according to their
tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the
covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by the
Company, by supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and
delivered to the Trustee by such corporation or Person, and (ii) the Company
or such successor corporation or Person, as the case may be, shall not,
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance,
be in Default in the performance of any such covenant or condition.

          Section 5.02. Successor Company Substituted.  In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and following such an assumption by
the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named
herein.  Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue
either in its own name or in the name of the Company prior to such succession
any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder, which theretofore shall not have

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      25



been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order
of such successor corporation instead of the Company and subject to all the
terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee
shall authenticate and shall deliver any Notes, which previously shall have
been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and any Notes, which such successor corporation thereafter
shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.
All of the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and
benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had
been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

          In the event of any such sale or conveyance (other than a conveyance
by way of lease), the Company or any successor corporation which shall
theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article shall be
discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Notes and may be liquidated and dissolved.

          Section 5.03. Opinion of Counsel to Trustee.  The Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may receive an Opinion of Counsel,
prepared in accordance with Section 12.05, as conclusive evidence that any
such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption,
and any such liquidation or dissolution, complies with the applicable
provisions of this Indenture.

                                  ARTICLE VI.
                            DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

          Section 6.01. Events of Default.  An "Event Of Default" occurs with
respect to Notes of any particular series, unless it is specifically deleted or
modified in the Officers' Certificate, Board Resolutions and/or supplemental
indenture (if any) in respect of such series, and in addition to any other
events which may be specified as Events of Default in the Officers'
Certificate, Board Resolutions and/or supplemental indenture (if any) in
respect of such series, if:

          (1)  the Company defaults in the payment of the principal (or
     premium, if any, on) any Note of such series when the same becomes due
     and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or redemption, or otherwise;

          (2)  the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Note of
     such series when the same becomes due and payable, and the default
     continues for a period of 30 days;

          (3)  default in the payment of any sinking fund installment, when and
     as due by the terms of a Note of that series, and the default continues
     for a period of 30 days;

          (4)  the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other
     covenant or agreement of the Company contained in the Notes of such series
     or in this Indenture and the default or breach continues for a period of

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      26



     90 consecutive days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or
     to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate
     principal amount of the Notes of such affected series;

          (5)  an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the
     Company with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency
     or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of
     a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it
     or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or
     other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60
     consecutive days; or an order for relief is entered against the Company
     under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect; or

          (6)  the Company (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable
     bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
     consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under
     any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by
     a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or
     similar official of the Company or for all or substantially all of the
     property and assets of the Company or (iii) effects any general
     assignment for the benefit of creditors (an event of default specified in
     clause (5) or (6) a "Bankruptcy Default").

          Section 6.02. Acceleration.

          (a)  If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any series,
other than a Bankruptcy Default with respect to the Company, occurs and is
continuing under the Indenture, unless the principal of all the Notes of such
series have already become due and payable, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then
outstanding (each such series voting as a separate class), by written notice
to the Company (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may,
and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of,
premium, if any and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due and
payable (or if the Notes of such series are Original Discount Notes, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such
series).  Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will
become immediately due and payable.  If a Bankruptcy Default occurs with
respect to the Company, the principal of, premium, if any and accrued interest
on all Notes of each series then outstanding (or if the Notes of such series
are Original Discount Notes, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of such series) will, unless the principal of all the
Notes of such series shall have already become due and payable, become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part
of the Trustee or any Holder.

          (b)  At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with
respect to the Notes of a series has been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter
provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes 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
     sufficient to pay:

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      27



               (i) all overdue interest on all the Notes of such series;

               (ii) the principal of any of the Notes of such series which has
          become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and
          interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
          Notes; and

               (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful and
          applicable, interest upon overdue installments of interest at the
          rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes; and

          (2)  all Events of Default with respect to the Notes of such series,
     other than the non-payment of the principal of, and interest on, such
     Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
     have been cured or waived or otherwise remedied in accordance with the
     provisions of this Indenture.

          For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal
of any Original Issue Discount Notes shall have been accelerated and declared
due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such
declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the
principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Notes shall be deemed, for
all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall
be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such
portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of
such acceleration together with interest, if any, thereon and all other
amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original
Issue Discount Notes.

          Section 6.03. Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs, has
not been waived, and is continuing with respect to the Notes of any series, the
Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any
available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of
principal of, premium, if any and interest on the Notes of such series or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or the
Indenture.  The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess
any of the Notes of such series or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding.

          Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.  Except as otherwise provided
in Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Trustee, waive
an existing Default and its consequences.  Upon such waiver, the Default will
cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have
been cured and each of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
will be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; provided,
however, that no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default
or impair any right consequent thereon.

          Section 6.05. Control by Majority.  The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a particular series (or
if more than one series is affected, of all such series voting as a separate
class) may 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.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any such direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      28



personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes of such series not joining in the
giving of such direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that is
not inconsistent with such direction.

          Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.  A Holder may not pursue any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or any other remedy under the Indenture or the Notes of the applicable series,
unless:

          (1)  the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of
     a continuing Event of Default;

          (2)  Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of then
     outstanding Notes of the series in respect of which the Event of Default
     has occurred have made written request to the Trustee to pursue a remedy
     in respect of the Event of Default;

          (3)  such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably
     satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses 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 pursue any such remedy; and

          (5)  during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in
     aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series have
     not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written
     request.

          The foregoing limitations do not apply to any proceeding instituted
by a Holder with respect to a Default in the payment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest on any Series of Notes.

          No Holder of any series of Notes may use this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of another Holder of Notes of that series or to obtain a preference
or priority over another Holder of Notes of that series.

          Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the right of any Holder to receive payment of
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on its Note on or after the
Stated Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected
without the consent of that Holder.

          Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default in
payment of principal or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01
occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes of any series, upon the
demand of the Trustee the Company will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Holders of any affected series of Notes the premium, if any, and interest
remaining unpaid on the Notes of that series then outstanding, together with
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments
of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further
amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      29



the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee
hereunder.  If the Company fails to pay such amount upon demand by the Trustee,
the Trustee will be empowered to recover judgement in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust the sums so due and payable.

          Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and
the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or
its respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to collect,
receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable or
deliverable upon any such claims.  Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder.  Nothing in the
Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to,
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of
any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any Holder in any such proceeding.

          Section 6.10. Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money with
respect to Notes of any series pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the
money in the following order:

          First:  to the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such
     series in respect of which monies have been collected, including
     reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and
     their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities
     incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
     Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and all other
     amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section
     7.07;

          Second:  in accordance with the subordination provisions, if any, of
     the Notes of such series;

          Third:  in case the principal of the Notes of such series in respect
     of which monies have been collected shall not have become and be then due
     and payable, to the payment of interest on the Notes of such series in
     default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest,
     with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the
     Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as
     the rate of interest or yield to maturity (in the case of Original Issue
     Discount Notes) specified in such Notes, such payments to be made ratably
     to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

          Fourth:  in case the principal of the Notes of such series in respect
     of which monies have been collected shall have become and shall be then

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      30



     due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid
     upon all the Notes of such series for principal and interest, with
     interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent such interest has
     been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at
     the same rate as the rate of interest or yield to maturity (in the case of
     Original Issue Discount Notes) specified in the Notes of such series; and
     in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount
     so due and unpaid upon the Notes of such series, then to the payment of
     such principal and interest, without preference or priority of principal
     over interest or yield to maturity, or of interest or yield to maturity
     over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other
     installment of interest, or of any Notes of such series over any other
     Notes of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and
     accrued and unpaid interest or yield to maturity; and

          Fifth:  to the Company or such other Person as a court of competent
     jurisdiction may direct.

          The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section.

          Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee
or any Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
the Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then,
subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and
the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

          Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it as Trustee, all parties to
this Indenture agree, and each Holder shall be deemed to have agreed, that a
court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to
file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party
litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This
Section does not apply to a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on any Note of any series on the respective due
dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes of any series.

          Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Notes of any series in Section 2.04, no right or remedy conferred or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are,
to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise.  The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other
right or remedy.

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      31


          Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of
the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default will impair the exercise of any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

          Section 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.  The Company
covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other
law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of any series as
contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
or that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture.  The
Company hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all
benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as if no such law had
been enacted.

                                  ARTICLE VII.
                                  THE TRUSTEE

          Section 7.01. General.

          (a)  The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee are as provided
by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein.  Whether or not expressly
so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to
this Article.

          (b)  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect
to the Notes of any series, the Trustee need perform only those duties that are
specifically set forth in the Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants
or obligations will be read into the Indenture that are adverse to the Trustee.
In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the
Notes of any series, the Trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested
in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs.

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

          Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee.  Subject to Trust Indenture
Act Section 315(a) through (d):

          (1)  In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
     conclusively rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from
     acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
     report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note,

NYDOCS01/905069.6
                                      32


     other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it
     to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person.
     The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
     document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required
     to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the
     Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the
     requirements of the Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
     accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).  The
     Trustee, in its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into
     such facts or matters as it sees fit.

          (2)  Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require
     an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel conforming to Section
     12.05, and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits
     to take in good faith in reliance on the certificate or opinion.

          (3)  The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not
     be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with
     due care.

          (4)  The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the
     rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction
     of any of the Holders of any series of Notes, unless such Holders have
     offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
     expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with
     such request or direction.

          (5)  The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits
     to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its
     rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance
     with the direction of the Holders of any series of Notes in accordance
     with Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
     proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any
     trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

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

          (7)  No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to
     expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
     in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its
     rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against
     any loss, liability or expense.

          (8)  The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or
     Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
     knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
     such a default is received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office
     and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      33



          (9)  The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
     given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its rights to be
     indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee
     in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other
     Person employed to act hereunder.

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

          Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not the Trustee.  Any Agent may do the same with like
rights.  However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311.
For purposes of Trust Indenture  Act Sections 311(b)(4) and (6):

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

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

          Section 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.  The Trustee (i) makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of the Indenture or the Notes of
any series, (ii) is not accountable for the Company's use or application of the
proceeds from the Notes of any series and (iii) is not responsible for any
statement in the Notes of any series other than its certificate of
authentication.

          Section 7.05. Notice of Default.  If any Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes of any series, and if it is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee will send notice of the uncured Default to
each Holder of the Notes of such series within 90 days after it occurs, unless
the Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default in
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any or interest on any such Note,
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors of the Trustee in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the
Holders.  Notice to Holders under this Section will be given in the manner and
to the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c).  Except in the

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      34



case of an Event of Default resulting from nonpayment on any Note, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless an
officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice
of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and
this Indenture.

          Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.  The Trustee shall
transmit to each Holder such reports concerning, among other things, the
Trustee and its action under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the
Trust Indenture Act at the time and in compliance with Section 313(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act.  The Trustee also shall comply with Sections 313(b)(2)
and 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act.  A copy of each such report at the time
of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock
exchange, if any, on which the Notes of any series are listed.  The Company
shall notify the Trustee if the Notes of any series become listed on any stock
exchange.

          Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

          (a)  The Company will pay the Trustee from time to time such
compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services.  The
compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a
Trustee of an express trust.  The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee while acting as Trustee under this Indenture,
including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee's agents and
counsel, except any such expense as may arise from negligence or bad faith.

          (b)  The Company will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless
against, any and all loss or liability or expense (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than those based upon the income
of the Trustee) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
Indenture and its duties under the Indenture and the Notes of each series,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by the Company, any Holder or any Person) or liability and of
complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under the
Indenture and any such Notes.  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) and (6) occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

          (c)  The obligations of the Company under this Section shall not be
subordinated to the payment of Senior Indebtedness pursuant to Article Eleven
hereof and shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.  To secure the Company's
payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the
Notes of each series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee,
in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes of any series.

          Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      35



          (a)  (i)  The Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to
     the Company.

          (ii) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
     outstanding Notes of all series for which any one Trustee is acting as
     Trustee (voting as a single class) may remove such Trustee by written
     notice to the Company and the Trustee.

          (iii)     If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10 or
     in the circumstances described in Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b), any
     Holder that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section
     310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
     the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (iv) The Company may remove the Trustee if:  (i) the Trustee is no
     longer eligible under Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt
     or an insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of
     the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of
     acting.

          A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section.

          (b)  If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of all series for which
the Trustee was acting as Trustee (voting as a single class) may appoint a
successor Trustee for all such series with the consent of the Company.
Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee.  If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written
acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes of all series for which such Trustee
was acting as Trustee (voting as a single class) may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          (c)  Upon delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance
of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, (i) the retiring
Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, (ii) the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the
successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under the Indenture.  Upon request of any successor Trustee, the Company will
execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the
successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.  The successor Trustee
will mail notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and its
appointment to all Holders, and include in the notice its name and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.

          (d)  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          (e)  The Trustee agrees to give the notices provided for in, and
otherwise comply with, Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b).

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      36



          Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national
banking association without any further act will, if such resulting, surviving
or transferee corporation or national banking association is otherwise eligible
under the Indenture, be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the
successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in the Indenture.

          Section 7.10. Eligibility.  The Indenture must always have a Trustee
that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and (b)
and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition.

          Section 7.11. Money Held in Trust.  The Trustee will not be liable
for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree with the
Company.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust
under Article Eleven.

                                 ARTICLE VIII.
                           DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE

     series that have been replaced or (ii) Notes of such series that
     are paid pursuant to Section 4.01 or (iii) Notes of such series
     for whose payment money or U.S. Government Obligations have been

     Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder; or

          (2)  (A)  the Notes of such series mature within one year, or all of
     them are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
     satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption;

               (B)  the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee,
     as trust funds solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, money
     or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient, in the
     opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
     expressed in a written certificate delivered to the Trustee, without
     consideration of any reinvestment, to pay principal of, premium, if any,
     and each installment of interest on such Notes to maturity or redemption,
     as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder;

          (D)  the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or

     such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal
     income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as
     would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not
     occurred; and

          (G)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
     to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the Trustee or the trust
     so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

          (b)  After satisfying the conditions in clause (1), only the
Company's obligations under Section 7.07 will survive.  After satisfying the
conditions in clause (2), only the Company's obligations in Article Two and
Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 will survive.  In either case,
the Trustee upon request will acknowledge in writing the discharge of the
Company's obligations under the Notes of such series and the Indenture other
than the surviving obligations.

          Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance.  Unless this Section 8.02 is
otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.01(l), to be inapplicable to Notes
of any Series, after the 91st day following the deposit referred to in clause

obligations in respect of the Notes of such series and the Indenture (as it
relates to the Notes of such series), other than its obligations in Article Two

     public accountants expressed in a written certificate thereof delivered to
     the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment, to pay principal
     of, premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the Notes of such
     series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, provided that any
     redemption before maturity has been irrevocably provided for under
     arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee.

          (2)  No Default or event that with the passing of time or the giving
     of notice, or both, will constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and

               (A)  an Opinion of Counsel stating either that (x) the Company
          has received from or there has been published by the Internal Revenue
          Service a ruling or (y) there has been a change in law after the date
          of this Indenture to the effect that the Holders of the Notes of such
          series will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax
          purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and
          will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the
          same manner and at the same times as would otherwise have been the
          case, and

               (B)  an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the creation
          of the defeasance trust does not violate or cause the Trustee or the
          trust so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940,
          (ii) the Holders of the Notes of such series have a valid first
          priority security interest in the trust funds (subject to customary

          York Debtor and Creditor Law.

          (6)  If the Notes of such series are listed on a national securities
     exchange, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
     to the effect that the deposit and defeasance will not cause such Notes to
     be delisted.

          Prior to the end of the 91-day period, none of the Company's
obligations under the Indenture will be discharged.  Thereafter, the Trustee
upon request will acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's
obligations under the Notes of such series and the Indenture (as it relates to
the Notes of such series) except for the surviving obligations specified above.

          Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.  Unless this Section 8.03 is
otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.01(l), to be inapplicable to the
Notes of any series, after the 91st day following the deposit referred to
in clause (1), the Company's obligations set forth in Sections 4.07 and 4.08,
Article Five will terminate, and clauses (3), (4), (5) and (6) of Section 6.01
will no longer constitute Events of Default, provided the following conditions
have been satisfied:

          (1)  The Company has complied with clauses (1), (2), (3), (4),
     (5)(B) and (6) of Section 8.02; and

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      39



          (2)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
     to the effect that the Holders will not recognize gain or loss for federal
     income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and defeasance and will be
     subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner
     and at the same times as would otherwise have been the case.

          Except as specifically stated above, none of the Company's
obligations under the Indenture will be discharged as a result of covenant
defeasance pursuant to this Section 8.03.

          Section 8.04. Application of Trust Money.  Subject to Section 8.05,
the Trustee will hold in trust the money or U.S. Government Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, and apply the
deposited money and the proceeds from deposited U.S. Government Obligations
to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the series of
Notes for which such deposit was made in accordance with the Notes of such
series and the Indenture.  Such money and U.S. Government Obligations need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

          Section 8.05. Repayment to Company.  Subject to Sections 7.07, 8.01,
8.02 or 8.03, the Trustee will promptly pay to the Company upon request any
excess money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee at any time and
thereupon be relieved from all liability with respect to such money.  The
Trustee will pay to the Company upon request any money or U.S. Government
Obligations held for payment with respect to the Notes of any series that
remains unclaimed for two years, provided that before making such payment the
Trustee may at the expense of the Company publish once in a newspaper of
general circulation in New York City, or send to each Holder entitled to such
money, notice that the money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified
in the notice (at least 30 days after the date of the publication or notice)
any remaining unclaimed balance of money will be repaid to the Company.  After
payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look solely to the
 Company for payment, unless applicable law designates another Person, and all
liability of the Trustee with respect to such money will cease.

          Section 8.06. Reinstatement.  If and for so long as the Trustee is
unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust pursuant
to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's
obligations under the Indenture (with respect to the applicable series of
Notes) and the Notes of the applicable series will be reinstated as if no such
deposit in trust had been made.  If the Company makes any payment of principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, it will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such
Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government obligations
held in trust.

                                  ARTICLE IX.
                            SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

          Section 9.01. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.
Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a Board

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      40



Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into
one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the
Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

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

          (2)  to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the
     Holders of all or any series of Notes (and, if such covenants are to be
     for the benefit of less than all series of Notes, stating that such
     covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such
     series), or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the
     Company;

          (3)  to add any additional Events of Default (and, if such Events of
     Default are to be applicable to less than all series of Notes, stating
     that such Events of Default are expressly being included solely to be
     applicable to such series); provided, however, that in respect of any such
     additional Events of Default such supplemental indenture may provide for a
     particular grace period after default (which period may be shorter or
     longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for
     an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies
     available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the
     Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the series of Notes
     to which such additional Events of Default apply to waive such default;

          (4)  to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of
     principal (or premium, if any) of Notes, provided that any such action
     shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Notes of any
     series in any material respect;

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

          (6)  to establish the form or terms of Notes of any series as
     permitted by Section 2.01;

          (7)  to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
     hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more
     series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
     shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
     trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee;

          (8)  to add guarantees to the Notes;

          (9)  to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such
     extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and
     discharge of any series of Notes pursuant to Sections 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03;
     provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of
     the Holders of Notes of such series or any other series of Notes in any
     material respect;

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      41



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

          (11) to secure the Notes;

          (12) to make any changes that would provide any additional rights or
     benefits to Holders of Notes or that do not adversely affect the legal
     rights under the Indenture of any such Holder;

          (13) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to
     effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
     Indenture Act;

          (14) to provide for the conversion rights of Holders of Notes in
     certain events such as an amalgamation, consolidation, merger or sale of
     all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

          (15) to reduce the conversion price, if applicable, of any series of
     Notes.

          Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.  (a)
Except as provided in Section 9.01, with the consent of the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by such
supplemental indenture, by act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the
Trustee, the Company when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may
enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders under this Indenture of such Notes; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
outstanding Note affected thereby:

          (1)  change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
     installment of interest on, any Note, or reduce the principal amount
     thereof or the interest thereon or any premium payable upon redemption
     thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue
     Discount Note that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
     acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02, or change
     any place of payment, or change the currency in which any Note or
     interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
     enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
     (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date);

          (2)  reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding
     Notes of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such
     supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for
     any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
     certain Defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this
     Indenture; or

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      42



          (3)  modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 6.03,
     except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
     provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the
     consent of the Holder of each outstanding Notes affected thereby;
     provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the
     consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "the
     Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this
     proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.01(7).

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

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

          (d)  After an amendment, modification or waiver under this Section
becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendments, modification or waiver.  The Company
will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request.  Any failure of the
Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, modification,
supplemental indenture or waiver.

          Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.  In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article (other than Section 9.01(6)) or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and, subject to Section 7.02, shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, is not inconsistent
herewith, is a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
in accordance with its terms, subject to enforceability being limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws or foreign governmental actions affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and equitable remedies including
the remedies of specific performance and injunction being granted only in the
discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction and, in connection with a
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 9.01, that the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver such supplemental indenture without the
consent of the Holders and, in connection with a supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to Section 9.02, that the requisite consents of the Holders
have been validly obtained in accordance with Section 9.02 hereof.  The Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture
that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

          Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.  Upon the execution
of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be
modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form
a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      43



theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered under this Indenture
shall be bound by the supplemental indenture.

          Section 9.05. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements
of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

          Section 9.06. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.  Notes
of any series authenticated and delivered after the 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 shall so
determine, new Notes of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture
may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes of such series.

                                   ARTICLE X.
                                 SINKING FUNDS

          Section 10.01. Applicability of Article.  The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Notes of
a series except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Notes of
such series.  The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by
the terms of Notes of any series is herein referred to as "mandatory sinking
fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for
by the terms of Notes of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment".  If provided for by the terms of Notes of any series,
the amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided
in Section 10.02.  Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption
of Notes of any series as provided for by the terms of such Notes.

          Section 10.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Notes.  In
lieu of making all or part or any mandatory sinking fund payment in cash, the
Company may deliver outstanding Notes of a series (other than any previously
called for redemption) and may apply as a credit Notes of a series that have
been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such Notes or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund
payments pursuant to the terms of such Notes, in each case, in satisfaction of
all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to such Notes of such
series required to be made pursuant to, and as provided for by, their terms;
provided that such Notes have not been previously so credited.  Such Notes
shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the
redemption price specified in such Notes for redemption through operation of
the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

          Section 10.03. Redemption of Notes for Sinking Fund.  Not less than
60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Notes
(unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company
will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate of such entity specifying
the amount of the next sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the
terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      44


delivering and crediting Notes of that series pursuant to Section 10.02 and
the basis for any such credit and, prior to or concurrently with the delivery
of such Officers' Certificate, will also deliver to the Trustee any Notes to
be credited and not theretofore delivered to the Trustee.  Not less than 45
days (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before
each sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Notes to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section
3.01 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and
at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.01.  Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Notes shall be made upon
the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.01 and 3.02.

                                  ARTICLE XI.
                           SUBORDINATION OF NOTES

          Section 11.01. Applicability of Article; Agreement to Subordinate.
In the event a series of Notes is designated as subordinated pursuant to
Section 2.01 ("Subordinated Notes") and except as otherwise provided in a
supplemental indenture or pursuant to Section 2.01, the Company, for itself,
its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of
Subordinated Notes by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees,
that the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on each and all of the Subordinated Notes is hereby expressly
subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article, in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 11.02. Rights of Holders of Subordinated Indebtedness.  (a)
In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings, relative to the
Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of
any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of
the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, and in the
event of any execution sale, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of the principal and premium, if any,
thereof and interest due thereon (including without limitation, except to the
extent, if any prohibited by mandatory provisions of law, post petition
interest in any such proceedings) in money before the Holders of Subordinated
Notes are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated
Notes, and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to
receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any
kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, which may be
payable or deliverable in connection with any such proceedings or sale in
respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Subordinated
Notes other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or
securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to
the extent provided in this Article Eleven with respect to the Subordinated
Notes, to the payment of all indebtedness of the nature of Senior Indebtedness,
provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not
altered by such reorganization or readjustment;

          (b)  In the event and during the continuation of any default in
payment of any Senior Indebtedness or if any event of default, as therein
defined, shall exist and all grace periods with respect thereto shall have
expired, under any Senior Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which any
Senior Indebtedness is issued, no payment of the principal of, premium, if any,

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      45



or interest on the Subordinated Notes shall be made and the Company covenants
that it will, upon ascertaining any such default or event of default, provide
written notice to the Trustee of such default or event of default, provided
that payment on the Subordinated Notes may and shall be resumed, in the case
of a notice relating to a payment default on such Senior Indebtedness, upon
the date on which it is cured or waived pursuant to the terms of such Senior
Indebtedness, and, in the case of a notice relating to a nonpayment default,
the earlier of the date on which it is cured or waived pursuant to the terms of
such Senior Indebtedness or 179 days after the date on which such notice is
received by the Trustee, unless the maturity of the relevant Senior
Indebtedness of the Company has been accelerated;

          (c)  In the event that the Subordinated Notes of any series are
declared due and payable before their expressed maturity because of the
occurrence of an Event of Default (under circumstances when the provisions of
subsection (a) of this Section 11.02 shall not be applicable), the holders of
all Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in money
of such Senior Indebtedness before such Holders of Subordinated Notes are
entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on
the Subordinated Notes; and (d)  No holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be
prejudiced in his right to enforce subordination of the Subordinated Notes by
any act or failure to act on the part of the Company.

          Section 11.03. Payments and Distributions.  In the event that,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.02, any payment or distribution
of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted
or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to
the extent provided in this Article Eleven with respect to the Subordinated
Notes, to the payment of all indebtedness of the nature of Senior Indebtedness,
provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not
altered by such reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the
Holders of Subordinated Notes or by the Trustee for their benefit in
connection with any proceedings or sale referred to in subsection (a) of
Section 11.02 before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in money, such
payment or distribution shall be paid over to the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person
making payment or distribution of assets of the Company, if any, otherwise such
payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such
Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate
amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or
represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in
full in money, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

          From and after the payment in full in money of all Senior
Indebtedness, the Holders of Subordinated Notes (together with the holders of
any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinate in right of payment
to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, which is not subordinate in
right of payment to the Subordinated Notes and which by its terms grants such
right of subrogation to the holder thereof) shall be subrogated to the rights

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      46


of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of
assets or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness
until the Subordinated Notes shall be paid in full, and, for the purposes of
such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of assets or securities, which otherwise would have been payable
or distributable to Holders of Subordinated Notes, shall, as between the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the
Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the
Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article
Eleven are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness, on the other hand, and nothing contained in this Article Eleven
or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Subordinated Notes is intended to or
shall impair as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of Subordinated Notes, the obligation of
the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders of
Subordinated Notes the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Notes as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms,
or to affect the relative rights of the Holders of Subordinated Notes and
creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness,
nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any
Subordinated Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon Default under this Indenture subject to the rights of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, under Section 11.02, to receive cash, property
or securities of the Company otherwise payable or deliverable to the Holders of
the Subordinated Notes.

          Upon any distribution or payment in connection with any proceedings or
sale referred to in subsection (a) of Section 11.02, the Trustee, subject as
between the Trustee and the Holders of Subordinated Notes to the provisions of
Section 7.02 hereof, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the
liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution or payment
to the Trustee, the amount of such Senior Indebtedness or the amount payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article Eleven.  In the event that the Trustee
determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to
the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 11.03, the Trustee may
request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the
extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person
under this Section 11.03, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such person to receive such payment.

          The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such
holders if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to Holders of
Subordinated Notes or the Company or any other person moneys or assets to which
any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of Article
Eleven of this Indenture or otherwise.

          Section 11.04. Payments by the Company.  Nothing contained in this
Article Eleven or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Subordinated
Notes, shall prevent at any time, (a) the Company from making payments at any
time of principal of or interest on the Subordinated Notes, except under the

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      47



conditions described in Section 11.02 or during the pendency of any proceedings
or sale therein referred to, provided, however, that payments of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Subordinated Notes shall only be made by
the Company within three business days of the due dates for such payments or
(b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder
to the payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Subordinated Notes, if all the time of such deposit the Trustee
did not have written notice in accordance with Section 11.06 of any event
prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company or if in the event of
redemption, the Trustee did not have such written notice prior to the time that
the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 was given (which notice of
redemption shall in no event be given more than 60 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption).

          Section 11.05. Appointment of the Trustee by Holders.  Each Holder by
his acceptance of a Subordinated Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Eleven and appoints
the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, in
the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) tending towards
liquidation of the business and assets of the Company, the immediate filing of
a claim for the unpaid balance of such Holder's Subordinated Notes in the form
required in said proceedings and cause said claim to be approved.

          Section 11.06. Notice to Trustee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Article Eleven or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall not be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any facts which
would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or from the holder of, or the representative of any class of, Senior
Indebtedness, together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding
of Senior Indebtedness or of the authority of such representative; provided,
however, that if at least two business days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including,
without limitation, the payment of either the cash amount payable at maturity
or interest on any Subordinated Note) the Trustee shall not have received with
respect to such monies the notice provided for in this Section 11.06, then,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to
the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary, which may be received by it on or after such three
business days prior to such date.

          Section 11.07. Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee shall be entitled to
all the rights set forth in this Article Eleven with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same  extent as any
other holder of Senior Indebtedness.

          Section 11.08. Paying Agent.  In case at any time any paying agent
other than the Trustee shall be appointed by the Company and be then acting
hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article Eleven shall in such
case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending
to and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents

NYDOCS01/905069.6                      48



and purposes as if such paying agent were named in this Article Eleven in
place of the Trustee.

                                  ARTICLE XII.
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 12.01. Trust Indenture Act of 1939.  The Indenture shall
incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that
are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

          Section 12.02. Noteholder Communications; Noteholder Actions.

          (a)  The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with
respect to the Indenture or the Notes are as provided by the Trust Indenture
Act, and the Company and the Trustee shall comply with the requirements of
Trust Indenture Act Sections 312(a) and 312(b).  Neither the Company nor the
Trustee will be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as
to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

          (b)  (1)  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent to amendment, modification or waiver or other action provided by this
Indenture to be given or taken by a Holder (an "Act") may be evidenced by an
instrument signed by the Holder delivered to the Trustee.  The fact and date
of the execution of the instrument, or the authority of the person executing
it, may be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

          (2)  The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a
meeting of Holders of any one or more series of Notes, which will be binding
on all the Holders of such Notes.

          (3)  The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Register.

          (c)  Any Act by the Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the
acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note.  Subject to
paragraph (d), a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes, but only if the
Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or
waiver or other consequence of the act becomes effective.

          (d)  The Company may, but is not obligated to, fix a record date
(which need not be within the time limits otherwise prescribed by Trust
Indenture Act Section 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders
entitled to act with respect to any amendment or waiver or in any other regard,
except that during the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Trustee may
set a record date as to notices of default, any declaration or acceleration or
any other remedies or other consequences of the Event of Default.  If a record
date is fixed, those Persons that were Holders at such record date and only
those Persons will be entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether
or not those Persons continue to be Holders after the record date.  No act will
be valid or effective for more than 90 days after the record date.

          Section 12.03. Notices.

          (a)  Any notice or communication to the Company will be deemed given
if in writing (i) when delivered in person or (ii) five days after mailing when
mailed by first class mail, or (iii) when sent by facsimile transmission, with
transmission confirmed.  Any notice or communication to the Trustee will be
deemed given if in writing (i) when delivered in person, or (ii) when sent by
facsimile transmission, with transmission confirmed.  In each case the notice

          if to the Company:

          Corporate Secretary and Assistant General Counsel
          The Timken Company

          FAX:  (212) 815-5704

          The Company or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate
additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

          (b)  Except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to published
notices, any notice or communication to a Holder will be deemed given when
mailed to the Holder at its last address as it appears on the Register by first
class mail or, as to any Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its
nominee, as agreed by the Company, the Trustee and DTC.  Copies of any notice
or communication to a Holder, if given by the Company, will be mailed to the
Trustee at the same time.  Defect in mailing a notice or communication to any
particular Holder will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other
Holders.

          (c)  Where the Indenture provides for notice, the notice may be
waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and the waiver will be the equivalent of the notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders must be filed with the Trustee, but such filing is
not a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waivers.

          Section 12.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.
Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any
action under the Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Trustee:

          (3)  a statement that, in the opinion of each such Person, that
     Person has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
     enable the Person to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such
     covenant or condition has been complied with; and

          (4)  a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such
     Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with, provided that
     an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers' Certificate or certificates
     of public officials with respect to matters of fact.

          Section 12.06. Payment Date Other Than a Business Day.  If any
payment with respect to a payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Note (including any payment to be made on any date fixed for
redemption or purchase of any Note) is due on a day which is not a Business
Day, then the payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the
next Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such date, and
no interest will accrue for the intervening period.

          Section 12.07. Governing Law.  This Indenture and the Notes shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.

          Section 12.08. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.  The
Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan or debt
agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and no such
indenture or loan or debt agreement may be used to interpret the Indenture.

          Section 12.09. Successors.  All agreements of the Company in the
Indenture and the Notes will bind its successors.  All agreements of the
Trustee in the Indenture will bind its successor.

          Section 12.10. Duplicate Originals.  The parties may sign any number
of copies of the Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of
them together represent the same agreement.

          Section 12.11. Separability.  In case any provision in the Indenture
or in the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

          Section 12.12. Table of Contents and Headings.  The Table of
Contents, Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and Sections of
the Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to

member or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary will have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations.  Each Holder
 of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

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