this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’

Indenture (including any covenant compliance which constitutes a condition
precedent) relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case
of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.


21

















 


Every certificate or opinion
(other than the certificates required by Section 1019(a)) with respect to
compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall
include:


(a)           a statement that each individual
signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the
definitions herein relating thereto;


(b)           a brief statement as to the nature
and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or
opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;


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


(d)           a statement as to whether, in the
opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied
with.


Section 104.           Form of Documents Delivered to
Trustee.


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


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

possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations

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


Section 105.           Acts of Holders.


(a)           Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture
to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such


22

















 


Holders
in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company. 
Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders
signing such instrument or instruments. 
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject
to Trust Indenture Act Section 315) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.


(b)           The fact and date of the execution by
any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable
manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.


(c)           The ownership of Senior Notes shall
be proved by the Senior Note Register.


(d)           If the Company shall solicit from the
Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do
so.  Notwithstanding Trust Indenture Act
Section 316(c), any such record date shall be the record date specified in or
pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days
prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith
and no later than the date such solicitation is completed.


If such a record date is
fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed
to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Senior Notes then Outstanding have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,

shall be computed as of such record date; provided, however, that
no such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless
it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not
later than six months after the record date.


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

Section 106.           Notices, Etc., to Trustee and
Company.


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


(a)           the Trustee by any Holder or the
Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or delivered, in writing, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office, Attention:  Corporate
Trust and Agency Division; or


(b)           the Company by the Trustee or by any
Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or delivered in writing to the
Company addressed to it at SEA CONTAINERS LTD., 41 Cedar Avenue, P.O. Box HM
1179, Hamilton HM EX, Bermuda, Attention: 
Secretary (with a copy to (i) SEA CONTAINERS AMERICA INC., 1155 Avenue
of the Americas, 30th Floor, New York, New York  10036, Attention:  General
Counsel and (ii) SEA CONTAINERS SERVICES LTD., 20 Upper Ground, London SE1 9PF,

Section 107.           Notices to Holders; Waiver.


Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event at his
address as it appears in the Senior Note Register not later than the latest
date and not earlier than the earliest date prescribed for the giving of such
notice.  In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in
any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Holders. 
Any notice when deposited for mailing to a Holder in the aforesaid
manner shall be presumed to have been received by such Holder whether or not
actually received by such Holder.  Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed
with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.


In case by reason of the
suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be
impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this
Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.


Section 108.           Conflict of any Provision of
Indenture with Trust Indenture Act.


If and to the extent that
any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties
imposed by Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, or


24

















 


conflicts with any provision
(an “incorporated provision”) required by or deemed to be included in this
Indenture by operation of such Trust Indenture Act Sections, such imposed
duties or incorporated provision shall control.  If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any
provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the
latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or
excluded, as the case may be.


Section 109.           Effect of Headings and Table of
Contents.


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


Section 110.           Successors and Assigns.


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


Section 111.           Separability Clause.


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


Section 112.           Benefits of Indenture.


Nothing in this Indenture or
in the Senior Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than
the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Paying Agent, the
Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness) any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


Section 113.           Governing
Law.


THIS INDENTURE AND THE SENIOR NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.


Section 114.           Legal Holidays.


In any case where any
Interest Payment Date, any date established for payment of Defaulted Interest
pursuant to Section 307, or any Maturity with respect to any Senior Note shall
not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture or of the Senior Notes) payment of interest, principal or premium, if
any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment
Date, the date established for payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to
Section 307 or at Maturity, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such
payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, the date
established for payment of Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 307 or
Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.


25

















 


Section 115.           Consent to Jurisdiction and
Service of Process.


The Company agrees that any
legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any party to enforce any rights
under or with respect to this Indenture or the Senior Notes may be instituted
in any state or federal court in New York City and waives to the fullest extent
permitted by law any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or
proceeding.  The Company hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints each of Sea Containers America Inc. (“SCA”)
and Corporation Service Company (“CSC”) as the Company’s authorized agents to
receive and forward on its behalf service of any and all process which may be
served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees that
service of process upon either or both SCA or any successor (provided, however,
that such service upon SCA or any successor shall only be required by this
Section 115 so long as SCA or such successor maintains an office at the address
set forth herein or at another address in New York City which the Company has
designated by written notice to the Trustee) at its office at 1155 Avenue of
the Americas, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10036, and CSC or any successor at
its office at 80 State Street, Albany, New York 12207–2543 (or such other
address in the State of New York as the Company may designate by written notice
to the Trustee) and written notice of such service to the Company marked or
delivered to either or both SCA (subject to the foregoing proviso) and CSC at
their addresses set forth herein shall be deemed in every respect effective
service of process upon the Company in any such suit, action or proceeding and
shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Company.  Nothing in this Section 115 shall affect the
right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by law or
limit the right of any party hereto to bring proceedings against the Company in
the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.  The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including
the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments as may
be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of SCA and CSC in
full force and effect so long as this Indenture or any of the Senior Notes
shall be outstanding.  To the extent
that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of
any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice,
attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, executor or otherwise)
with respect to itself or its property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives
such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture and the Senior
Notes, to the extent permitted by law.


Section 116.           Conversion of Currency.


(a)           The Company shall indemnify the
Holders against, and the Holders shall have an additional legal claim for, any
loss or damage which, consequent upon any judgment being obtained or enforced
in respect of the non-payment by the Company of any amount due under or pursuant
to this Indenture, arises from any variation in rates of exchange between
United States dollars and the currency in which judgment is obtained or
enforced between the date such amount became due (or the date of the said
judgment being obtained as the case may be) and the date of actual payment of
such amount.  The indemnity contained in
this Section 116 shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted to the
Company from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any payment by or on behalf of the Company, and any amount due
from


26

















 


the
Company under this Section 116 will be due as a separate payment and shall not
be affected by any judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in
respect of this Indenture.


(b)           The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall
mean the rate, quoted at noon for transactions in excess of $1,000,000, at
which the Holder is able or would have been able on the relevant date to
purchase at Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York at its main branch in New
York City, United States dollars with the judgment currency other than United
States dollars referred to in Subsection (a) above and includes any premiums
and costs of exchange payable.


Section 117.           No Recourse Against Others.


A director, officer,
employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes or this Indenture or
for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation.  Each Holder by accepting any
of the Senior Notes waives and releases all such liability.

other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have
such letters, notations or other marks of identification and such notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange agreements to which the
Company is subject, or usage.  Any
portion of the text of any Senior Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof,

notation, legend or endorsement on the Senior Notes.  Each Senior Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.


The definitive Senior Notes

Section 202.           Securities Issuable in Global Form.


(a)           If so specified in the Company Order
referred to in Section 303, any amount of the Senior Notes may be issued in the
form of one or more permanent Global Securities registered in the name of the
Depositary.  Such Global Securities
shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibit A with such modifications
as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance thereof in global
form.


(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section
303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver
any Senior Note in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions
given by the Person or Persons specified in the form of Security or in the
applicable Company Order.  If a Company
Order pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304 has been, or simultaneously is,
delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery
or redelivery of a Senior Note in global form shall be in writing but need not
comply with Section 103 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.


(c)           Payment of principal of and any
premium and interest on any Senior Note in permanent global form shall be made
to the Person or Persons specified in the form of Senior Note.  The Company, the Trustee and any agent of

Security as the owner of such Global Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Global Security
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Senior Note be
overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


(d)           If at any time, (i) the Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be registered or in good
standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation and a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the
Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case
may be, or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that no
Securities shall be represented by a Global Security or Global Securities and
that the provisions of this Section 202 shall no longer apply to any Senior
Notes, then in such event this Section 202 shall no longer be applicable to the
Senior Notes, and the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon Company
Request, will authenticate and deliver Senior Notes in definitive registered
form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the principal amount of the Global Security or Global Securities in exchange
for such Global Security whereupon the Global Security or Global Securities
shall be cancelled by the Trustee.  Such
Senior Notes in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global
Security or Global Securities pursuant to this Section 202(d) shall be
registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in compliance with the Trustee’s
procedures.  Subject to Sections 303 and
304, the Trustee shall deliver such Senior Notes to the Persons in whose names

interest in the Securities evidenced by one or more Global Securities may cause
the Depositary to request the issuance of one or more definitive Senior Note
certificates in exchange for such Person’s interest in the Global Securities in
compliance with the Depositary’s procedures. 
In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee will, subject
to Sections 303 and 304, authenticate and deliver to such Person one or more definitive
Senior Note certificates in definitive registered form, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Securities that it
has requested be exchanged.

amount of the Senior Notes exceed
$                .


The Stated Maturity of the

paying interest on the Senior Notes, the Company will at all times have
appointed and maintain a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) which either
will have an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, or
will make arrangements for interest checks to be paid at a bank, trust company
or other agency located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.  The Bank of New York will be initially
appointed as Paying Agent for the Senior Notes.  Until otherwise designated by the Company, the


29

















 


Company’s office or agency

service charge may be levied for any tax or other governmental charge that may
be imposed in connection therewith.


Section 303.           Execution, Authentication,
Delivery and Dating.


The Senior Notes shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by any one director or officer and the
secretary of the Company under the common seal of the Company reproduced
thereon.  The signature of any of these
directors or officers on the Senior Notes may be manual or facsimile.


Senior Notes bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
directors or officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such positions prior
to the authentication and delivery of such Senior Notes or did not hold such
positions at the date of such Senior Notes.


At any time and from time to
time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may
deliver Senior Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Senior Notes directing the Trustee to authenticate the Senior Notes and
certifying that all conditions precedent to the issuance of Senior Notes
contained herein have been fully complied with, and the Trustee in accordance
with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Senior Notes as in
this Indenture provided and not otherwise. 
The Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel of the Company that it may reasonably request in connection
with such authentication of Senior Notes. 
Such order shall specify the amount of Senior Notes to be authenticated
and the date on which the original issue of Senior Notes is to be authenticated.


The Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities
that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes originally issued pursuant to the

originally purchased and


30

















 


delivered in definitive
registered form), (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the
nominee of the Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the
Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a
legend substantially to the effect specified in Exhibit A to this Indenture (or
in the form required by the Depositary).


The Depositary must, at all
times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.


Each Senior Note shall be
dated the date of its authentication.


No Senior Note shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Senior Note a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by
the Trustee by manual signature of one of its duly authorized signatories, and
such certificate upon any Senior Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Senior Note has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.


In case the Company,
pursuant to Article Eight, shall be amalgamated, consolidated or merged with or
into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of
substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, and the successor
Person resulting from such amalgamation or consolidation, or surviving such
merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the successor
Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other
disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto
with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, any of the Senior Notes
authenticated or delivered prior to such amalgamation, consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the
request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Senior Notes executed
in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form
as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Senior
Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the
Trustee, upon Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and
deliver Senior Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of such
exchange.  If Senior Notes shall at any
time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person
pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or upon registration
of transfer of any Senior Notes, such successor Person, at the option of any
Holder but without expense to such Holder, shall provide for the exchange of
all Senior Notes at the time Outstanding held by such Holder for Senior Notes
authenticated and delivered in such new name.


Section 304.           Temporary Senior Notes.


Pending the preparation of
definitive Senior Notes as provided in Section 201, the Company may execute,
and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Senior Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the same
tenor as the definitive Senior Notes in lieu of which they are issued, with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as
the directors or officers executing such Senior Notes may


31

















 


determine, as conclusively
evidenced by their execution of such Senior Notes and which may be executed by
manual or facsimile signatures to the same extent as set forth in Section 303.


If temporary Senior Notes
are issued, the Company will cause definitive Senior Notes to be prepared
without unreasonable delay.  After the
preparation of definitive Senior Notes, the temporary Senior Notes shall be exchangeable
for definitive Senior Notes upon surrender of the temporary Senior Notes at the
office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section
1002, without charge to the Holder. 
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Senior Notes,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Senior Notes of
authorized denominations.  Until so
exchanged, the temporary Senior Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Senior Notes.


Section 305.           Registration; Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.


The Company shall cause to
be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register
maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant
to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Senior Note
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Senior Notes and
of transfers of Senior Notes.  Said
office or agency is hereby initially appointed “Senior Note Registrar” for the
purpose of registering Senior Notes and transfers of Senior Notes as herein
provided.


Subject to the provisions of
this Section 305 regarding the transfer of interests in the Global Security,
upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Senior Note at the office or
agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Senior Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.


At the option of the Holder,
Senior Notes may be exchanged for other Senior Notes of any authorized
denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Senior Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.  Whenever any Senior Notes are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Senior Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.


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


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


32

















 


No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Senior
Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental
charges that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Senior Notes, other than transfers or exchanges pursuant to Section
303, 304, 906, 1015, 1016, 1018 or 1108 not involving any transfer.


The Company shall not be
required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Senior Note
during a period beginning at the opening of business (i) 15 days before the
mailing of a notice of redemption of the Senior Notes selected for redemption
under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing or (ii) 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on the close
of business on the Interest Payment Date, or (b) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Senior Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of Senior Notes being redeemed in part.


Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part
for the individual Senior Notes represented thereby, a Global Security
representing all or a portion of the Senior Notes may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by
such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such successor Depositary.


If at any time the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be eligible under
Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary.  If a successor Depositary is not appointed
by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual
Senior Notes, will authenticate and deliver, individual Senior Notes in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
or Securities representing the Senior Notes in exchange for such Global
Security or Senior Notes.


If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual
Securities, will authenticate and deliver, individual Securities in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
or Securities representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security
or Securities.


The Depositary may surrender
a Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Senior Notes
registered in the name of a member of, or participant in, the Depositary (an
“Agent Member”).  Thereupon, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service
charge to each Person specified by such Depositary a new individual Security or
Securities of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s
beneficial interest in the Global Security, and the Security Registrar shall
reflect on its books and records


33

















 


the date and a decrease in
the principal amount of the Global Security equal to the principal amount of
the individual Senior Notes delivered to Holders thereof.


Upon the exchange of a
Global Security for individual Senior Notes, such Global Security shall be
cancelled by the Trustee.  Individual
Senior Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section
305 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as
the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its
direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.  The Trustee and the Company shall not have
any liability for the accuracy of the instructions received from the Depositary.  The Trustee shall deliver such Senior Notes
to the Persons in whose names such Senior Notes are so registered.


Agent Members shall have no
rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their
behalf by the Depositary, or the Paying Agent as its custodian, or under the
Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.


Neither the Company nor the
Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any participant in the
Depositary, any Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the
Securities under or through the Depositary or any such participant, or any
other Person which is not shown on the Security Register as being a Holder,
with respect to (1) the Senior Notes; (2) the accuracy of any records
maintained by the Depositary or any such participant; (3) the payment by the

Section 306.           Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and
Stolen Senior Notes.


If (a) any mutilated Senior
Note is surrendered to the Trustee or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Senior
Note, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that
such Senior Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall
execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for any such mutilated Senior Note or in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Senior Note, a replacement Senior Note of like tenor and
principal amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


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


34

















 


Upon the issuance of any
replacement Senior Notes under this Section, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith.


Every replacement Senior
Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Senior Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company, whether
or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Senior Notes duly issued
hereunder.


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


Section 307.           Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved.


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


Any Interest on any Senior
Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date (such defaulted interest herein called “Defaulted
Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant
Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted
Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided
in Subsection (a) or (b) below:


(a)           The Company may elect to make payment
of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes (or
their respective Predecessor Senior Notes) are registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner. 
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Senior Note and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more
than 15 days and not less than ten days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than ten 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.  In the name and at the expense of the
Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first
class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it


35

















 


appears in the Senior Note
Register, not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Senior
Notes (or their respective Predecessor Senior Notes) are registered at the
close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following Subsection (b).


(b)           The Company may make payment of any
Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Senior 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 Subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.


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


Section 308.           Persons Deemed Owners.


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


Section 309.           Cancellation.


All Senior Notes surrendered
for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by it. 
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Senior
Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Senior Notes so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee.  No
Senior Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Senior
Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture.  All cancelled Senior
Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed and certification of their
destruction delivered to the Company unless by a Company Order the Company
shall direct that cancelled Senior Notes be returned to it.


Section 310.           Computation of Interest.


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


36

















 


Section 311.           CUSIP and CINS Numbers.


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

Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of
the principal, premium, if any, and Interest for whose payment such money has

Interest on any Senior Note when such Interest becomes due and payable, and
such Default continues for a period of 30 days, or


(b)           Default is made in the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, on any Senior Note at the Maturity thereof,

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


41

Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
of whether the principal of the Senior Notes shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue
principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise,


(a)           to file and prove a claim for the
whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and Interest owing and unpaid in
respect of the Senior Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may

securities or other property payable or deliverable upon the exchange of the
Senior Notes in connection with any such claims and to distribute the same; and

official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to

consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606.


Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any proposal, plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition or other similar arrangement affecting
the Senior Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the

production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,


42

















 


disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Senior Notes in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered.


Section 506.           Application of Money Collected.

Interest; and


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

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


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


(b)           a written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as
Trustee hereunder shall have been made by not less than 25% in principal amount

receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute
any such proceeding; and


(e)           no direction inconsistent with such
written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60–day period
by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Senior
Notes;


it being understood and
intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or
to seek to obtain priority or preference


43

















 


over any other Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture except in the manner provided in this

enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.


Section 509.           Restoration of Rights and Remedies.


If the Trustee or any Holder

the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.


Section 510.           Rights and Remedies Cumulative.


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


Section 511.           Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


No delay or omission of the Trustee
or of any Holder of any Senior Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article
or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders 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.

Laws.

upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any
time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and the Company (to

the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the

grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and

Section 604.           May Hold Senior Notes.


The Trustee and any Paying
Agent, Senior Note Registrar or other agent of the Company, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Senior Notes and,

competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


(c)           The Trustee may, at any time, be

acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the

charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to

one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of

majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes delivered to the
Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section
610, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee  appointed by the Company.  If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders of the Senior Notes and so accepted
appointment, the Holder of any Senior Note who has been a bona fide Holder for
at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.


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


Section 610.           Acceptance of Appointment by
Successor.


Every successor Trustee
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and
to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; provided, however, that the retiring Trustee shall
continue to be entitled to the benefit of Section 606(c).  On request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder.  Upon request of any
such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee
all such rights, powers and trusts.

successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto.  In case any Senior Notes shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Senior Notes so authenticated
with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Senior Notes.


Section 612.           Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Company.


If and when the Trustee
shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor under the

Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any
such other obligor).

deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such
Senior Note to which such Holder is entitled; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Additional
Amounts (i) for or on account of any such tax, assessment or governmental
charge imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated or
resident for tax purposes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein) or (ii) for or on account of:


(A)          any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which
would not have been imposed but for (x) the existence of any present or former
connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary,
member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such
Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing
jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or
area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder
(or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor)
being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present
or engaged in trade or business therein or


56

















 


having
or having had a permanent establishment therein or (y) the presentation of a
Senior Note (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30
days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on
which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;


(B)           any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal
property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;


(C)           any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is
payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of)
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Senior Notes;


(D)          any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by the Holder or the
beneficial owner of a Senior Note with a request of the Company addressed to
the Holder (x) to provide information, documents and other evidence concerning
the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner
or (y) to make and deliver any declaration or other similar claim (other than a
claim for refund of a tax, assessment or other governmental charge withheld by
the Company) or satisfy any information or reporting requirement, which, in the
case of (x) or (y), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or
administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to
exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental
charge; or


(E)           any combination of items (A), (B), (C) and (D);


nor shall Additional Amounts
be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any premium or
interest on, any Senior Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or
other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment
would be required by the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Company is
incorporated or resident for tax purposes (or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax
purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member
of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to
such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of the Senior Note.


Whenever in this Indenture
(including, without limitation, the form of Senior Note set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto) there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the
principal of, or any premium or Interest on, or in respect of, any Senior Note
or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Senior Note, such
mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional
Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the
provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not
made.


57

















 


At least ten days prior to
the first Interest Payment Date, and at least ten days prior to each date of
payment of principal and any premium or Interest, if there has been any change
with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’
Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal
Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’
Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents
whether such payment of principal of and any premium or Interest on the Senior
Notes shall be made to Holders of Senior Notes without withholding for or on
account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the
Senior Notes.  If any such withholding
shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the
amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of
Senior Notes and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent or
Paying Agents the Additional Amounts required by this Section.  The Company covenants to indemnify the
Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on
their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any
of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this
Section.


Section 1002.         Maintenance of Office or Agency.


The Company will maintain,
in The City of New York, an office or agency where Senior Notes may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Senior Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Senior Notes and this Indenture may be
served.  If the Corporate Trust Office
is located in the City of New York, then it shall be such office or agency of
the Company, unless the Company shall designate and maintain some other office
or agency for one or more of such purposes. 
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change
in the location of any such office or agency. 
If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


The Company may from time to
time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of The City
of New York) where the Senior Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or
all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designation; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in The
City of New York for such purposes.  The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and any change in the location of any such office or agency.


Section 1003.         Money for Senior Note Payments to Be
Held in Trust; Designation of Paying Agent.


If the Company shall at any
time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or Interest on, any of the Senior Notes,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or Interest so becoming
due until such sums shall be paid to such


58

















 


Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.


Whenever the Company shall
have one or more Paying Agents for the Senior Notes, it will, on or before each
due date of the principal of, or premium, if any, or Interest on, any Senior
Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds (or New York
Clearing House funds if such deposit is made prior to the date on which such
deposit is required to be made) sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if
any, or Interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or Interest and (unless such
Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
such action or any failure so to act.


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


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


(b)           give the Trustee notice of any
Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Senior Notes) in the
making of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or Interest; and


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


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


Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or Interest on, any Senior
Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if
any, or Interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on
Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Senior Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured
general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.


The Company hereby initially
designates the Trustee to act as Paying Agent hereunder.

Section 1004.         Corporate Existence.


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


Section 1005.         Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.


The Company will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (b) all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the
property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid
or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings properly instituted and diligently conducted and in respect of
which appropriate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied.


Section 1006.         Maintenance of Properties.


The Company shall cause all
properties owned by, or leased to, it or any Subsidiary of the Company and
necessary in the conduct of its business or the business of such Subsidiary to
be maintained and kept in normal condition, repair and working order, ordinary
wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company from
discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or
disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the
judgment of the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the Subsidiary
concerned, or of any officer of the Company or such Subsidiary having
managerial responsibility for any such property, desirable in the conduct of
the business of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and if such
discontinuance or disposal is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders of the Senior Notes.


The Company shall provide or
cause to be provided, for itself and any Subsidiaries of the Company, insurance
(including appropriate self–insurance) against loss or damage of the
kinds customarily insured against by corporations similarly situated and owning
like properties in the same general areas in which the Company or such
Subsidiaries operate.

(i) were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of SCL, (ii)
were not deducted from the Investment of the Company in any third Person not a
Subsidiary pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of Permitted Investments
and (iii) do not exceed in the case of any such third Person the amount of

Person, plus


(F)           $15,000,000.

Stock of the Company or such Subsidiary, on the one hand, and such other
Person, on the other hand,

Capital Stock) of the Company or Indebtedness of the type, and satisfying the
requirements, described in clause (ix) of the definition of Permitted

purposes of increasing the available amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to
clause (a)(3)(B) above.


Section 1009.         Restrictions on Liens.


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to create,
Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any
property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or on any shares of
Capital Stock of any Subsidiary, or any income or profits thereon or proceeds
thereof, without in any such case effectively providing that the Senior Notes
are secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations secured by
such Lien.


Section 1010.         Limitation on Sale and Leaseback
Transactions.


After the date of this
Indenture, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, unless (a) at the time of
such transaction, the Company or such Subsidiary would be permitted to Incur
Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the property or asset to be leased under
clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” in an amount at least equal

other property having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors or the board of directors of such Subsidiary) at least equal to the
Fair Market Value of the property or asset leased in such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction (and in fact applies such amount within 360 days of the effective
date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction).


Section 1011.         Transactions with Affiliates.


Except as provided for in

transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or
lease of assets, property or services, the entering into of any contract,
agreement or understanding, any Investment, or the payment of any compensation)
with any Affiliate of the Company (other than a Subsidiary thereof) unless (i)
such transaction or series of transactions is or are on terms that are no less
favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than could
have been obtained at the time of such transaction or transactions in a
comparable transaction in


64

an unaffiliated third party and (ii) with respect to any transaction or series
of transactions involving aggregate payments in excess of $15,000,000, the

asset, that the consideration received for such asset equals or exceeds the
appraised value of such asset, or in the case of a purchase by the Company or a
Subsidiary of an asset, that the consideration paid for such asset equals or
does not exceed the appraised value of such asset, provided that the
foregoing restriction shall not apply to transactions pursuant to agreements,
in place and as in place as of the date hereof, disclosed or described in the
Prospectus or in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K to the
Commission for the year ended December 31, 2002 and any extensions of such
agreements and any replacements of such agreements, provided such
replacements have substantially similar terms to the agreements being replaced.


Section 1012.         Limitation on Subsidiary
Indebtedness.


Except as provided for in
Section 1021, the Company will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to Incur any
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness (x) which would be permitted to be secured
by a Lien under the terms of Section 1009 and (y) otherwise in an amount not in
excess of $50,000,000 outstanding at any time), provided that this
Section 1012 shall not restrict any Subsidiary from Incurring Indebtedness to
and held by the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company.


Section 1013.         Restriction on Preferred Shares of
Subsidiaries.


Except as provided for in
Section 1021, the Company will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any
Preferred Shares (other than Redeemable Capital Stock, to the extent such
Redeemable Capital Stock is otherwise permitted to be issued in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture) or warrants, options or other rights to purchase

Redeemable Capital Stock, to the extent such Redeemable Capital Stock is
otherwise permitted to be issued in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture) or permit any Person to own or hold an interest in any Preferred
Shares of such Subsidiary (other than Redeemable Capital Stock, to the extent
such Redeemable Capital Stock is otherwise permitted to be issued in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture), provided, however, that this
Section 1013 shall not restrict any Subsidiary from issuing Preferred Shares to
and held by the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company.


Section 1014.         Limitation on Dividends and Other
Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.


The Company will not, and
will not permit any Material Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or suffer
to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction


65

















 


of any kind on the ability
of any Material Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other distribution
on its Capital Stock, (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any
Subsidiary, (c) make loans or advances to the Company or any Subsidiary or (d)
transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Subsidiary, except
(i) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Subsidiary that is not a
Subsidiary of the Company on the date hereof, in existence at the time such
Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or created on the date it becomes a
Subsidiary so long as such encumbrance or restriction was not created in
contemplation of such Person becoming a Subsidiary; (ii) any encumbrance or
restriction with respect to a Subsidiary that had no assets immediately prior
to the time the encumbrance or restriction was created and which encumbrance or
restriction was created in connection with such Subsidiary’s acquisition of
assets and the financing thereof; (iii) any encumbrance or restriction arising
under or by reason of applicable law; (iv) any restriction on the ability of a
Subsidiary to transfer an asset or property to the extent such restriction
arises pursuant to a security interest or mortgage entered into in connection
with the financing of the acquisition of such asset or property; and (v) any
encumbrance or restriction pursuant to any agreement that creates a Permitted
Lien or extends, refinances, renews or replaces any agreement containing any of
the restrictions described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iv), provided
that the terms and conditions of any such restrictions are not materially less
favorable to the Holders of the Senior Notes than those under or pursuant to
the agreement extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced.  The Incurrence of Indebtedness shall not be
considered the creation, existence or effectiveness of a consensual encumbrance
or restriction merely because the obligation to repay such Indebtedness may
limit such Subsidiary’s cash flow available to make any of the payments
described in clauses (a) through (d) above.


Section 1015.         Purchase of Senior Notes upon Change
of Control.


(a)           If there shall have occurred a Change
of Control, the Senior Notes shall be purchased by the Company, at the option
of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, on
a Business Day that is not earlier than 45 days nor later than 60 days from the
date the Change of Control Notice referred to below is given to Holders of the
Senior Notes or such later date as may be necessary for the Company to comply
with requirements under the Exchange Act (such date, or such later date, being
the “Change of Control Purchase Date”), at a purchase price in cash (the
“Change of Control Purchase Price”) in an amount equal to 101% of the principal
amount of such Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid Interest (including any
Defaulted Interest), if any, to the Change of Control Purchase Date, subject to
satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the Senior Notes of the
requirements set forth in Section 1015(c).


(b)           Within 30 days after the occurrence
of a Change of Control, the Company shall give written notice of such Change of
Control (a “Change of Control Notice”) to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall
promptly upon its receipt of such notice give a copy of such notice to Holders
of the Senior Notes in the manner specified in Section 107.  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
ascertain the occurrence of a Change of Control or to give notice with respect
thereto other than as provided above upon receipt of a Change of Control Notice
from the Company.  The Change of Control
Notice shall include a form


66

















 


of
Change of Control Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder of the Senior
Notes and shall state:


(i)            the events causing the Change of
Control and the date such Change of Control is deemed to have occurred for
purposes of this Section 1015;


(ii)           the date by which a Holder of the
Senior Notes must give a Change of Control Purchase Notice;


(iii)          the Change of Control Purchase Price;


(iv)          the Change of Control Purchase Date;


(v)           that any Senior Note not purchased
will continue to accrue interest;


(vi)          that the Company will pay the Change
of Control Purchase Price, promptly following the Change of Control Purchase
Date, for any Senior Notes that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn;
and


(vii)         the procedures a Holder of the Senior
Notes must follow to exercise rights under this Section 1015 and a brief
description of those rights and the limitations on such rights set forth in
this Section 1015.


(c)           A Holder of the Senior Notes may
exercise its rights specified in Section 1015(a) upon (i) delivery to any
Paying Agent of a written notice (a “Change of Control Purchase Notice”) at any
time prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Purchase Date,
stating (A) the certificate number of the Senior Note that the Holder of the
Senior Notes will deliver to be purchased and (B) the portion of the principal
amount of the Senior Note that the Holder of the Senior Notes will deliver to
be purchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof and
(ii) delivery of such Senior Note to such Paying Agent at the office specified
for such purpose in the Change of Control Notice prior to, on or after the
Change of Control Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements),
such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Senior Notes of
the Change of Control Purchase Price therefor; provided, however,
that such Change of Control Purchase Price shall be so paid only if the Senior
Note so delivered to such office shall conform in all respects to the
description thereof set forth in the related Change of Control Purchase
Notice.  A Change of Control Purchase
Notice may be withdrawn by delivering to the Paying Agent, not later than the
close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Change of
Control Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter
setting forth the name of the Holder of the Senior Notes, the principal amount
of Senior Notes covered by the Change of Control Purchase Notice, and a
statement that such Holder of the Senior Notes is withdrawing his election to
have such Senior Notes purchased.  If a
Holder of the Senior Notes has elected to deliver to the Company for purchase a
portion of a Senior Note and not timely withdrawn such election, and if the
principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,
the Company shall purchase such portion from the Holder


67

















 


thereof
pursuant to this Section 1015. 
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a
Senior Note also apply to the purchase of a portion of such Senior Note.  Each Paying Agent shall promptly notify the
Company of the receipt by the former of any and all Change of Control Purchase
Notices.


(d)           Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of a
Change of Control Purchase Notice which is not timely withdrawn, the Holder of
the Senior Note in respect of which such Change of Control Purchase Notice was
given shall thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control
Purchase Price with respect to such Senior Note.  Such Change of Control Purchase Price shall be paid to such
Holder promptly following the later of the Business Day following the Change of
Control Purchase Date (provided the conditions in Section 1015(c) have been
satisfied) and the time of delivery of such Senior Note to the relevant Paying
Agent at the office of such Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner
required by Section 1015(c).


(e)           On or prior to the Change of Control
Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in same day funds (or
New York Clearing House funds if such deposit is made prior to the Change of
Control Purchase Date) sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price
of all the Senior Notes or portions thereof which are to be purchased on that date.


(f)            Upon surrender of any such Senior
Note for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Senior Note
shall be paid by the Company at the Change of Control Purchase Price; provided,
however, that installments of Interest whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of
such Senior Notes, or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes, registered as such
on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions
of Section 307.  If any Senior Note
tendered for purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof, the
principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear
interest from the Change of Control Purchase Date at the rate borne by such Senior
Note.


(g)           Any Senior Note that is to be
purchased only in part shall be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the office of
such Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall  execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Senior Note, without service charge, one or
more new Senior Notes of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the
portion of the principal amount of the Senior Note so surrendered that is not
purchased.

Section
1016.         Disposition of Proceeds
of Asset Sales.


Except as provided for in Section 1021,


(a)           the
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any
Asset Sale unless


(i)            the Company or such Subsidiary, as
the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of the purchaser
assuming Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at the time of
such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets
sold or otherwise disposed of,


(ii)           if the Fair Market Value of such
Asset Sale exceeds $25,000,000, at least 75% of such consideration consists of
cash (including cash to be received after the date of such sale pursuant to a
lease not giving rise to a Capital Lease Obligation), Cash Equivalents or the
assumption of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the
purchaser, provided that, in the event of a sale by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries of a hotel, the Fair Market Value of which exceeds
$25,000,000, at least 75% of such consideration consists of (A) cash (including
cash to be received after the date of such sale pursuant to a lease not giving
rise to a Capital Lease Obligation), (B) Cash Equivalents, (C) the assumption
of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the purchaser or
(D) Indebtedness of the purchaser or any Subsidiary of the purchaser secured by
a perfected first mortgage on the hotel being sold, and


(iii)          no Default or Event of Default exists
or would exist after giving effect to such Asset Sale.


(b)           To the extent that the Net Cash
Proceeds from any Asset Sale are not applied to permanently repay Senior
Indebtedness (including the Senior Notes), and permanently reduce the
commitments under the instruments governing the Indebtedness so repaid, the
Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, may commit to apply the Net
Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, within 180 days of such Asset Sale (and in
fact apply such Net Cash Proceeds within 360 days of such Asset Sale), to an
Investment in properties and assets that will be used in the businesses of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as engaged in on the date of this Indenture or in
businesses similar or related thereto (“Replacement Assets”).  Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale
that are not applied to pay, acquire or retire Senior Indebtedness, and are
either not committed to an Investment in Replacement Assets within 180 days of
such Asset Sale or, if committed within such 180-day period, are not invested
in Replacement Assets within such 360-day period, constitute “Excess Proceeds”,
provided that, in the event that the Company is required to make and
completes an Excess Proceeds Offer (as defined in Subsection 1016(c)), upon
such completion, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero and
thereafter recalculated from time to time according to the provisions of this
Section 1016.  The Trustee shall be
under no obligation to ascertain the existence of Excess Proceeds resulting from
any Asset Sale.


69

















 


(c)           If, as of the first day of any
calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not theretofore subject
to an Excess Proceeds Offer totals at least $10,000,000, the Company must, not
later than the fifteenth Business Day of such month, make an offer (an “Excess
Proceeds Offer”) to purchase from the holders of public, unsecured Indebtedness
that is not Subordinated Indebtedness (including from the Holders of the Senior
Notes on a pro  rata basis an aggregate principal amount of such
Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a purchase price in
cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus accrued
and unpaid interest (if any) (including Defaulted Interest) to the date of
purchase (the “Excess Proceeds Payment”). 
If the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness validly tendered
and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the
Indebtedness to be purchased will be selected on a pro  rata
basis.


At
any time that the Company is required to commence an Excess Proceeds Offer, it
shall mail a form of letter of transmittal and a notice to the Trustee and each
Holder of Senior Notes receiving such Excess Proceeds Offer, which notice shall
state:


(i)            that the Excess Proceeds Offer is
being made pursuant to this Section 1016 and that all Senior Notes validly
tendered will be accepted for payment on a pro  rata basis
together with all other public, unsecured Indebtedness which is not
Subordinated Indebtedness;


(ii)           the purchase price and the date of
purchase (which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than
40 days from the date such notice is mailed and which shall be a date prior to
the date of purchase, if any, established by the Company for the purchase of
any Indebtedness subordinated to the Senior Notes pursuant to any covenant or
other provision similar to this Section 1016) (the “Excess Proceeds Payment
Date”);


(iii)          that any Senior Notes not tendered will
continue to accrue interest;


(iv)          that, unless the Company defaults in
the payment of the Excess Proceeds Payment, any Senior Notes accepted for
payment pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest
after the Excess Proceeds Payment Date;


(v)           that Holders electing to have Senior
Notes purchased pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer will be required to
surrender the evidence of such Senior Notes, together with a properly completed
copy of the form of letter of transmittal enclosed therewith, to the Paying
Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on
the Business Day immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds Payment Date;


(vi)          that Holders will be entitled to
withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close
of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds
Payment Date, a telegram, telex,


70

















 


facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the type and
principal amount of Senior Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that
such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Senior Notes purchased;
and


(vii)         that Holders whose Senior Notes are
being purchased only in part will be issued new Senior Notes, with identical
terms and equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the
Indebtedness surrendered; provided that all Senior Notes purchased and
each new evidence of Senior Notes issued shall be in an original principal
amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.


On or prior to the date
notice is mailed to the Trustee and each holder of Senior Notes receiving such
Excess Proceeds Offer, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’
Certificate stating the amount of the Excess Proceeds Payment.


On the Excess Proceeds
Payment Date, the Company shall:


(i)            accept for payment on a pro  rata
basis public, unsecured Indebtedness, that is not Subordinated Indebtedness
(including the Senior Notes), or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the
Excess Proceeds Offer;


(ii)           deposit with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Senior Notes or portions thereof so
accepted; and


(iii)          deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
the Trustee all Senior Notes or portions thereof so accepted together with an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the Senior Notes or portions thereof accepted
for payment by the Company.  The Paying
Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Senior Notes so accepted payment in
an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly
authenticate and mail to such Holders a new evidence of Senior Notes of the
same tenor and equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
Senior Note surrendered; provided that all Senior Notes purchased and
each new evidence of Senior Notes issued shall be in an original principal
amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.


The Company will publicly
announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer as soon as practicable after
the Excess Proceeds Payment Date.  For
purposes of this Section 1016, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.


The Company will comply with
Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder, to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable, in the
event that an Asset Sale occurs and the Company is required to purchase
Indebtedness as described in this Section 1016.


(d)           Notwithstanding anything in Section
1016(c), to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of public, unsecured
Indebtedness that is not Subordinated Indebtedness (including the Senior Notes)
tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds
available for such Excess Proceeds Offer, the Company


71

















 


may
use such amount for the purchase of any Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to a
covenant or other provision similar to this Section 1016 and for general
corporate purposes.


Section 1017.         Conduct of Business.


The Company and its
Subsidiaries will not engage in any businesses that are not the same as, or
similar or related to, the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries
are engaged on July 1, 1996.


Section 1018.         Maintenance of Consolidated Tangible
Net Worth.


Except as provided for in
Section 1021, if, at any time, SCL’s Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at the end
of each of any two consecutive fiscal quarters is less than the Minimum
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth, then the Company shall make an offer (an
“Offer”), on or prior to the 30th day following the date on which the Company
files its quarterly or annual report, as the case may be, with the Commission
reporting the results for the second fiscal quarter giving rise to the
obligation to make the Offer (or, in the event the Company is not required to
file a quarterly report with the Commission in accordance with this Indenture,
on or prior to the 30th day following the date on which SCL determines the
results for the second fiscal quarter giving rise to the obligation to make the
Offer; but in any event not later than the 75th day following the end of the
quarter in the case of the first three fiscal quarters in any fiscal year, or
the 120th day following the end of the quarter in the case of the fourth
quarter in any fiscal year), to purchase 10% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Senior Notes originally issued (or such lesser amount as may be
outstanding at the time) at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount
plus Interest accrued and unpaid to the date on which the Senior Notes are to
be purchased (the “Purchase Date”); provided, however, that if
the Purchase Date is an Interest Payment Date, Interest payable on such date
shall be paid according to the terms and provisions of Section 307.  The Company may not credit against its
obligation to purchase Senior Notes on any Purchase Date hereunder the
principal amount of any Senior Notes previously acquired or redeemed by the
Company.  In no event shall the failure
to meet the Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth requirement stated above at
the end of any fiscal quarter be counted toward the making of more than one
Offer hereunder.


Notice of an Offer, together
with a form of letter of transmittal, shall be mailed by the Company not less
than 25 days before the Purchase Date to the Trustee and to the Holders at
their last registered addresses.  The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain whether an Offer is required
to be made under this Section 1018.  The
Offer shall remain open from the time of mailing until at least until five
Business Days before the Purchase Date.


The notice and form of
letter of transmittal shall be accompanied by a copy of the information
regarding SCL required to be contained in a quarterly report for the second
fiscal quarter referred to above if such second fiscal quarter is one of the
Company’s first three fiscal quarters or, if the Company is not required to
file quarterly reports with the Commission in accordance with this Indenture,
such other report as the Company delivers to its shareholders with respect to
such second fiscal quarter or, if no such report is delivered, a copy of SCL’s


72

















 


quarterly financial results
for such quarter.  If such second fiscal
quarter is the Company’s last fiscal quarter of a fiscal year, a copy of the
information required to be contained in an annual report for the fiscal year
ending with such second fiscal quarter shall either accompany the notice or be
delivered to Holders not less than ten days before the Purchase Date.  The notice and form of letter of transmittal
shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders
to tender Senior Notes pursuant to the Offer. 
The notice together with the form of letter of transmittal, which shall
govern the terms of the Offer, shall state:


(1)           the Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 1018 and
that Senior Notes will be accepted for payment on a pro  rata
basis;


(2)           the purchase price and the Purchase Date;


(3)           that any Senior Note not tendered or accepted for payment
will continue to accrue Interest;


(4)           that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
purchase price, any Senior Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer
shall cease to accrue Interest after the Purchase Date;


(5)           that Holders electing to have a Senior Note purchased
pursuant to the Offer will be required to surrender the Senior Note, with a
properly completed copy of the form of letter of transmittal, to the Paying Agent
at the address specified in the notice five Business Days prior to the Purchase
Date;


(6)           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election
if the Paying Agent receives, not later than three Business Days prior to the
close of business on the Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of Senior Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that
such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Senior Notes purchased;
and


(7)           that Holders whose Senior Notes are purchased only in part
will be issued new Senior Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer, of the Senior Notes
surrendered.


On the Purchase Date, the
Company shall (i) accept for purchase on a pro  rata basis Senior
Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer in a principal amount
not to exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes originally
issued, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase
price of all Senior Notes or portions thereof so accepted, and (iii) deliver to
the Trustee Senior Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate (A)
setting forth calculations demonstrating compliance with clauses (i) and (ii),
and (B) stating the Senior Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by
the Company.  The Paying Agent shall
promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Senior Notes so accepted payment in an
amount equal to the purchase price as specified in an Officers’
Certificate.  The Trustee shall promptly
authenticate and mail or deliver to each Holder who tendered Senior Notes


73

















 


pursuant to the Offer a new
Senior Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Senior
Note surrendered.  The Company will
publicly announce the results of the Offer on or as soon as practicable after
the Purchase Date.  For purposes of this
Section 1018, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.


Section 1019.         Statement as to Compliance; Notice
of Default; Reporting Requirements.


(a)           The Company will deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the
date hereof, a brief certificate of its principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer stating whether, to such
officer’s knowledge, the Company is in compliance with all covenants and
conditions to be complied with by it under this Indenture.  For purposes of this Section 1019, such
compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture.


(b)           If a Default has occurred and is
continuing, or if the Trustee, any Holder or the trustee for or the holder of
any other Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness in the aggregate
principal amount of less than $5,000,000) gives any notice or takes any other
action with respect to a claimed Default, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default, notice or other
action within five Business Days of the occurrence of such Default or receipt
of such notice; provided, however, that in the event that the
Company gives notice of such Default, notice or other action to any other
person prior to the fifth Business Day after the occurrence of such Default or
receipt of such notice, the Company shall deliver such Officers’ Certificate to
the Trustee concurrently with the giving of such notice to such other person.


(c)           So long as the Senior Notes remain
outstanding, the Company shall file with the Commission annual reports,
quarterly reports and all other information, documents and other reports
required to be filed with the Commission under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act as if it were a domestic issuer, provided that if the Company does
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act (and only if
the Company does not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange
Act), the Company shall furnish to the Trustee (and, to the extent it is
permitted to do so, to the Commission) on a timely basis the financial
information which it would be required to file with the Commission under
Section 13 of the Exchange Act if it were a domestic issuer with a class of
securities registered under the Exchange Act. 
The Company will furnish to the Trustee, and, to the extent required by
law, provide to the Holders, within 15 days after its files them with the
Commission copies and/or summaries of such reports and documents.


(d)           The Company will provide the Holders
with copies of all documents which the Company, from time to time, provides to
its shareholders.


74

















 


Section 1020.         Waiver of Certain Covenants.


The Company may with respect
to the Senior Notes omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant
or condition set forth in Sections 1007 through 1014 and Section 1017 if,
before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes at the time Outstanding shall, by Act of
such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver
shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the
Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force
and effect.


Section 1021.         Termination of Certain Covenants.


In the event that the
ratings assigned to the Senior Notes by Standard & Poor’s Credit Market
Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies (or successor thereto) and
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or successor thereto) are equal to or higher
than BBB— and Baa3, or the equivalents thereof, respectively (the “Investment
Grade Ratings”), and notwithstanding that the Senior Notes may later cease to
have an Investment Grade Rating, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not be
subject to its obligations under Sections 1007, 1008, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1016,
1018 and clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 801, provided that no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


ARTICLE ELEVEN



REDEMPTION OF SENIOR NOTES


Section 1101.         Right of Redemption; Optional Tax
Redemption.


(a)           The Senior Notes may be redeemed at
the election of the Company at any time on or after July 1, 2005 as a whole or
in part, subject to the conditions and at the Redemption Prices specified in
the form of Senior Note, together with accrued Interest to the Redemption Date.


(b)           The Senior Notes may be redeemed at
the option of the Company in whole but not in part at any time at a redemption
price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued Interest to the date
fixed for redemption, if, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws
or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder of the jurisdiction (or of
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the
Company is incorporated or resident for tax purposes or any change in the
official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or
any change in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution
of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such
jurisdiction (or such political subdivision or taxing authority) is a party (a
“Change in Tax Law”), which becomes effective on or after the Issue Date, the
Company is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the
Senior Notes on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date and the


75

















 


payment
of such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable
measures available to the Company.


(c)           If, pursuant to Section 801 of this
Indenture, a Surviving Entity has been or would be required to pay any
Additional Amounts, as therein provided, as a consequence of any amalgamation,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and as a consequence of a
Change in Tax Law occurring after the date of such amalgamation, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Senior Notes may be redeemed at the
option of such Surviving Entity in whole, but not in part, at any time, at a
redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued Interest to
the date fixed for redemption.  Prior to
the giving of notice of redemption of such Senior Notes pursuant to this
Indenture, such Surviving Entity will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate,
stating that such Person is entitled to effect such redemption and setting
forth in reasonable detail a statement of circumstances showing that the
conditions precedent to the right of such Person to redeem such Senior Notes
pursuant to this Section have been satisfied.

Section 1103.         Election to Redeem; Notice to
Trustee.


The election of the Company
to redeem any Senior Notes pursuant to Section 1101 shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution.  In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, not less than 30
days (or, if the Trustee is to give notice at the request of the Company, 45
days) nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by it (unless a
shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) notify the Trustee
of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Senior Notes to be redeemed
and the paragraph of Section 1101 pursuant to which such Redemption is to be
effected.


Section 1104.         Selection by Trustee of Senior Notes

If less than all the Senior

be redeemed may be equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.


The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company and the Senior Note Registrar in writing of the Senior Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Senior Notes selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.


For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to
redemption of Senior Notes shall relate, in the case of any Senior Note


76

















 


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


Section 1105.         Notice of Redemption.


Notice of redemption shall

(b)           the Redemption Price;


(c)           if less than all Outstanding Senior
Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of a Senior Note

be Outstanding only for the purposes of Section 1205 and the other Sections of
this Indenture referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all its
other obligations with respect to such Senior Notes and this Indenture (and the

instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:  (A) the rights of Holders of such Senior
Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1202 and as
more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of,
and premium, if any, and Interest on, such Senior Notes when such payments are

connection therewith and (D) this Article Twelve.

Section 1202.         Conditions to Defeasance.


The following shall be the
conditions to application of Section 1201 to the Outstanding Senior Notes:


(a)           With respect to the defeasance of the
Senior Notes, the Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of
Section 608 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article
Twelve applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of such Senior Notes, (A) cash in U.S. Dollars,
(B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, cash in
U.S. Dollars or (C) a combination thereof, in each such case in such amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a United States nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall be
applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge the
principal of, and premium, if any, and Interest on, the Outstanding Senior
Notes on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or
on the day on which such payments of premium or Interest are due and payable in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Senior Notes; provided
that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or
the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect
to the Senior Notes.  For this purpose,
“U.S. Government Obligations” means securities that are (x) direct obligations
of the United States of America for the timely payment of which its full faith
and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised
by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America
the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and
credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case, are
not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also
include a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of
the Securities Act), as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government
Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S.
Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of
such depository receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such
custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to
the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian
in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of
principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such
depository receipt;


(b)           The Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from United States counsel stating that (x)
the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date hereof there has been a change
in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that,
and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Senior
Notes subject to defeasance will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax


79

















 


purposes
as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such defeasance had not occurred;


(c)           The Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from Bermuda counsel to the effect that
Holders of the Outstanding Senior Notes subject to defeasance will not
recognize income, gain or loss for Bermuda tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance, and will be subject to Bermuda taxes on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
defeasance had not occurred;


(d)           The Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after the 91st day
following the deposit, the trust funds established pursuant to this Article
Twelve will not be subject to the effect of any applicable United States
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally (for the limited purpose of the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in this paragraph, such opinion may contain an assumption that the conclusions
contained in a customary solvency letter by a nationally recognized appraisal
firm, dated as of the date of the deposit and taking into account such deposit,
are accurate as of such date, provided that such solvency letter is also
addressed and delivered to the Trustee);


(e)           No Default or Event of Default with
respect to the Senior Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit or, insofar as Subsections 501(f) through 501(j) is concerned,
at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such
deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied
until the expiration of such period);


(f)            Such defeasance shall not result in
a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, this Indenture or any
other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound; and


(g)           The Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 1201 have been
complied with.


Section 1203.         Defeasance of Certain Obligations.


The Company may omit to
comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 703,
801(iii), 801(iv), 1007 through 1018 and 1019(c) and clauses (c) (with respect
to Sections 703, 1007 through 1018 and 1019(c)), (d), (e) and (k) (with respect
to Sections 801(iii) and 801(iv)) under Section 501 shall be deemed not to be
Events of Default, in each case with respect to all Outstanding Senior Notes on
the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied in full (hereinafter
“covenant defeasance”):


(a)           with reference to this Section 1203,
the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited
with the Trustee (or another trustee


80

















 


satisfying the requirements
of Section 608 of this Indenture) and conveyed all right, title and interest to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes, under the terms
of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes as security for payment of the
principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Senior Notes, and
dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes in and to
(A) cash in U.S. dollars, (B) U.S. Government Obligations that, through the
scheduled payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance
with their terms, will provide, not later than one day before the due date of
any payment referred to in this clause (i), cash in U.S. dollars, or (C) a
combination thereof, in each such case in an amount sufficient, in the opinion
of a United States nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay
and discharge, without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest and
after payment of all federal, state and local taxes and other charges and
assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, the Outstanding Senior Notes on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or interest; provided that the Trustee shall
have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such
U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of such principal, premium, if any,
and interest with respect to the Senior Notes;


(b)           such deposit will not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, this Indenture or any
other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is
bound;


(c)           no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;


(d)           the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from United States counsel to the effect that
the Holders of the Senior Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;


(e)           the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from Bermuda counsel to the effect that
Holders of the Senior Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Bermuda
federal income tax or other tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
covenant defeasance and will be subject to Bermuda federal income tax and other
tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;


(f)            the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, after the 91st day
following the deposit, the trust funds established pursuant to this Article
Twelve will not be subject to the effect of any applicable United States
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally (for the limited purpose of the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in this paragraph,


81

















 


such opinion may contain an
assumption that the conclusions contained in a customary solvency letter by a
nationally recognized appraisal firm, dated as of the date of the deposit and
taking into account such deposit, are accurate as of such date, provided
that such solvency letter is also addressed and delivered to the Trustee); and


(g)           the Company has delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case
stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance with respect to all
Outstanding Senior Notes contemplated by this Section 1203 have been complied
with.


Section 1204.         Deposited Money and U.S. Government
Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.


Subject to the provisions of
the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1204, the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1202 or 1203 in respect of all Outstanding
Senior Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of such Senior Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as
its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Senior Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.


The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 1202 or 1203 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof
other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of
the Holders of all Outstanding Senior Notes.


Anything in this Article
Twelve to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1202 or 1203 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which
may be the opinion delivered under Section 1202(a)), are in excess of the amount
thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
defeasance or covenant defeasance.


Section 1205.         Reinstatement.


If the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 1202 or Section
1203 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Senior Notes shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section
1202 or Section 1203, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
1202 or Section 1203, as the case may be; provided, however, that,
if the Company


82

















 


makes any payment of
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Senior Note following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Senior Notes to receive such payment from the money held
by such Trustee or Paying Agent.

SEA CONTAINERS LTD., a

hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE

This Senior Note is one of a
duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 13% Senior

provided in the Indenture referred to below) in aggregate principal amount to
$                ,
which is being issued under an indenture (herein called the “Indenture”) dated
as of
                     ,
2003, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein called
the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties,
obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Senior Notes, and of the terms upon which the Senior Notes are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered.


The Senior Notes are subject
to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, in whole or
in part, in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, at any time on
or after                     ,
2005, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Senior Notes, together in the case of any such
redemption with accrued and unpaid Interest to the Redemption Date (subject to
the right of Holders of record on relevant Regular Record Dates to receive
Interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption
Date), all as provided in the Indenture.


The Senior Notes are subject
to redemption, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company in the
event that the Company becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts hereon.


In the event that a Change
of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right, as provided in, and
subject to the terms of, the Indenture, to require that the Company repurchase
such Holder’s Senior Notes in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000
at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid Interest to the date of purchase.


The Indenture provides that
if the Company’s Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at the end of each of any two
consecutive fiscal quarters is less than the Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net
Worth (as specified in the Indenture), then the Company shall make an offer to
purchase 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes originally
issued at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount plus interest
accrued and unpaid to the date of such purchase, and on such other terms as
provided in the Indenture.

or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Senior
Notes, or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes, of record at the close of

modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Senior Notes at the time Outstanding. 
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Senior Notes, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf
of the Holder of this Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Note and of any Senior Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Senior Note.


No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Senior Note or of the Indenture shall alter
or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note
at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Senior Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

any integral multiple thereof.  As

aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental
charges payable in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange.
