NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises

Agreement

     
1.     Employment.

2.     Duties.

		
	 	     
    a.     Executive shall
    perform his services as Senior Vice President and General
    Counsel, under the supervision of the President, Chief Executive
    Officer and the Operations Committee of the Board of Directors
    (the “Operations Committee”) of Employer and within
    the framework of the policies and objectives of Employer. In
    such capacity, Executive shall act as the chief legal officer of

    day-to-day supervisory responsibility and operational and
    management authority over the legal affairs of the Employer and
    its controlled affiliates; (ii) shall provide advice and
    input to members of Employer’s Board of Directors and the
    Operations Committee and shall attend all meetings of the Board
    and the Operations Committee for that purpose; and
    (iii) shall perform such other duties as may be assigned to
    him from time to time by the Board of Directors, the President,
    the Chief Executive Officer or the Operations Committee
    consistent with the typical duties of his position. Executive
    shall be a member of Employer’s Executive Committee
    throughout the term of his employment with Employer.
    
	 
	 	     
    b.     Executive shall
    devote his entire business time, attention and energies to the
    performance of his duties and functions under this Employment
    Agreement and
    

 

		
	 	
    shall not during the term of his employment
    hereunder be engaged in any other substantial business activity
    for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage which materially
    interferes with the performance of his duties hereunder.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive specifically is
    permitted to (i) continue to teach Tai Chi in accordance
    with his past practice; (ii) periodically give speeches or
    teach seminars; and (iii) attend continuing legal education
    seminars, provided that such activities do not substantially

    duties and functions and shall not engage in any activities
    whatsoever which conflict with the objectives of Employer’s
    Business during the term of his employment hereunder.
    

		
	 	     
    c.     Employer shall
    furnish Executive with such facilities at Employer’s
    corporate headquarters location and services as are suitable to
    his position and adequate for the performance of his duties and
    functions hereunder.
    

     
3.     Term.
The term of this Employment Agreement shall commence on the
effective date hereof and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to
paragraph 10 hereof, shall continue until December 31,
2003 (the “Initial Term”), and thereafter shall
automatically continue unless and until such time as
(i) either party hereto notifies the other, upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice, served no earlier than
December 31, 2003, that this Employment Agreement will be
terminated at the expiration of such thirty (30) day notice
period; or (ii) Executive’s employment is otherwise
terminated pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof (the
“Extended Term”) (the Initial Term, together with the
Extended Term, if any, being referred to herein as the
“Employment Term”).

     
4.     Compensation.
Employer shall pay to Executive, as compensation for the
services agreed to be rendered by Executive hereunder, the
following:

		
	 	     
    a.     Base
    Salary. During the Employment Term, Employer shall initially
    pay to Executive a salary of three hundred seventy-five thousand
    dollars ($375,000.00) per annum; provided that the amount of
    such base salary may, in Employer’s sole discretion, be
    reviewed and adjusted by Employer from time to time during the
    Employment Term in light of the conditions then existing and the
    services then being rendered by Executive, in which case
    Executive’s base salary shall be such amount as may be
    determined by Employer (such annual base salary, as in effect
    from time to time, being referred to herein as the “Base
    Salary”) provided that Base Salary shall never be less
    than three hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($375,000.00)
    per annum. The Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with
    Employer’s normal payroll schedule, less appropriate
    deductions for federal, state and local income taxes, FICA
    contributions and any other deductions required by law or
    authorized by Executive.
    
	 
	 	     
    b.     Commencement
    Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary, Executive shall
    receive a commencement bonus (the “Commencement
    Bonus”) of one hundred eighty-seven thousand five
    hundred dollars ($187,500.00). The Commencement Bonus,
    

2

 

		
	 	
    less appropriate deductions for federal, state,
    and local income taxes, FICA contributions and any other
    deductions required by law or authorized by Executive, shall be
    paid on or before February 28, 2001.
    

		
	 	     
    c.     Annual
    Performance Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary,
    Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual performance
    bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) for each year of
    service (or any part thereof in the event of termination of
    Executive’s employment hereunder, in which case the Annual
    Bonus shall be prorated for such partial year) during the
    Employment Term (each such year or any partial such year being
    referred to as an “Annual Bonus Period”), in
    such amount, if any, as may be determined by the Compensation
    Committee of Employer’s Board of Directors
    (“Compensation Committee”) in its discretion; provided
    that Executive’s target Annual Bonus shall be in an amount
    equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Salary payable during
    such Annual Bonus Period. Executive shall not be entitled to any
    Annual Bonus for 2000, although the Commencement Bonus will be
    paid on or before February 28, 2001, the expected date for
    payment of the annual performance bonus. Each Annual Bonus shall
    be payable in accordance with Employer’s normal annual
    bonus payment schedule, less appropriate deductions for federal,
    state, and local income taxes, FICA contributions and any other
    deductions required by law or authorized by Executive.
    
	 
	 	     
    d.     Options.
    Effective on or before January 2, 2001, the Compensation
    Committee will grant to Executive, pursuant to Employer’s
    Incentive Equity Plan, Options to acquire seventy-five thousand
    (75,000) shares of Employer’s Class A voting common
    stock with an exercise price equal to the closing price on
    January 2, 2001, the first trading day of Executive’s
    employment (such option grant being referred to as the
    “Initial Grant”). Such Options will vest over four (4)
    years, as follows: twenty-five percent (25%) on the anniversary
    of the grant date, and the remainder in equal monthly
    installments over the following three (3) years. Promptly
    following the effective date hereof, Employer shall take or
    cause to be taken such other or further actions as may be
    necessary in order to document such grant of Options to
    Executive. From time to time during the Employment Term,
    Employer in its sole discretion, may grant additional Options to
    Executive; notwithstanding the foregoing, in February 2001,
    Employer shall grant Executive options to buy at least an
    additional fifty thousand (50,000) shares which will have an
    exercise price not greater than the closing price on the grant
    date and will vest over a period of four (4) years from the date
    of grant as follows: twenty-five percent (25%) on the grant
    date, and the remainder in equal monthly installments over the
    following four (4) years (such option grant being referred to as
    the “February 2001 Grant”). All Options granted to
    Executive are referred to herein as the
    “Options.” In the event Executive’s
    employment is terminated either by Employer without
    “Cause” (as defined herein), or by Executive for
    “Good Reason” (as defined in the Nextel
    Communications, Inc. Incentive Equity Plan As Amended and
    Restated as of May 25, 2000) or “Constructive
    Termination” (as defined herein), within one (1) year
    following a “Change of Control” as defined in
    

3

 

			
	 		
    the Nextel Communications, Inc. Incentive Equity
    Plan As Amended and Restated as of May 25, 2000 (a
    “Change of Control”), then all Options, to the
    extent not theretofore vested in accordance with their normal
    terms, shall vest on an automatic and accelerated basis as of
    the applicable “Termination Date” (as defined herein).
    Any acceleration of vesting of Options which would occur
    pursuant to the preceding sentence as a result of a Change of
    Control before September 30, 2001, shall be deemed void
    ab initio and shall be of no force or effect, if a
    nationally recognized accounting firm issues a written
    determination that any such acceleration would prevent a
    proposed merger or other business combination of the Employer,
    that is intended by the parties thereto to be accounted for as a
    pooling of interests, from being so accounted for, and such
    merger or business combination is in fact accounted for as a
    pooling of interests (the “Pooling Carve Out”).
    To the extent not otherwise provided herein, the terms
    applicable to all the Options (and of any option agreement
    entered into in connection therewith) shall be the standard
    terms normally applicable to a grant of
    “non-qualified” stock options pursuant to the Nextel
    Communications, Inc. Incentive Equity Plan.
    
	 
	 	e.	
    Restricted Stock.
    Effective on or before January 1, 2001, the Compensation
    Committee will grant to Executive, pursuant to Employer’s
    Incentive Equity Plan, twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of
    Employer’s Class A voting common stock (the
    “Restricted Stock”). Executive’s right to
    keep the Restricted Stock shall vest equally over three years,
    i.e., thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) on each
    of January 2, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Promptly following the
    effective date hereof, Employer shall take or cause to be taken
    such other or further actions as may be necessary in order to
    document such grant of Restricted Stock to Executive. All of the
    Restricted Stock, to the extent not theretofore vested in
    accordance with its normal terms, shall vest on an automatic and
    accelerated basis upon a Change of Control, subject to the
    Pooling Carve Out.
    

			
	 	f.	
    Future Equity
    Awards. The Options granted on or
    before January 2, 2001 and the Restricted Stock awarded on
    or before January 1, 2001 as contemplated in this
    paragraph 4 are intended to be an inducement to Executive
    to enter into this Employment Agreement and to offset the loss
    of potential future benefits associated with Executive’s
    prior employment position, and none of such Options or
    Restricted Stock shall be taken into account to reduce any
    option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock or other
    equity incentive grants that Executive, as a member of
    Employer’s senior management, may be entitled to be
    provided in the future as is appropriately commensurate with the
    equity incentive treatment extended to other members of
    Employer’s senior management.
    

     
5.     Benefits.
During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to
participate in all group health, major medical, pension and
profit sharing, 401(k) and other benefit plans maintained by
Employer and provided generally to its senior executive
officers, on the same terms as apply to participation therein by
management generally. Further, during the Employment Term,
Executive shall be entitled to participate in all fringe benefit

4

 

programs and shall receive all perequisites if
and to the extent that Employer establishes and makes them
available to senior executives generally, including, but not
limited to, Employer-paid long-term disability insurance, life
insurance coverage, the Incentive Equity Plan and the Nextel
Communications, Inc. Change of Control Retention Bonus and
Severance Pay Plan (the “Change of Control Plan”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be entitled
to any severance benefits other than those explicitly set forth
in this Employment Agreement, the Change of Control Plan and, to
the extent such severance benefits exceed the severance benefits
provided for in this Employment Agreement, any other benefit
plan which may be adopted by the Employer during the Employment
Term. Executive acknowledges that Employer may change its
benefit programs from time to time which may result in certain
benefit programs being amended or terminated for its senior
executives generally. Executive’s position shall be
classified as pay grade EX3 or better (as adjusted for any
changes to Employer’s system of classifying employees by
salary grade level implemented subsequent to the date hereof).

     
6.     Expenses.
During the Employment Term, Employer shall reimburse Executive
for all reasonable travel, entertainment and other business
expenses incurred or paid by Executive in performing his duties
and functions hereunder provided such expenses are reimbursable
under Employer’s Travel Program Policy and Executive
submits reimbursement expense forms in a form consistent with
Employer’s policy. Additionally, Employer agrees to
reimburse Executive for reasonable legal, financial consulting
and accounting fees in connection with the preparation of this
Agreement not to exceed a total of ten thousand dollars
($10,000.00).

     
7.     Vacations.
In addition to such holidays, sick leave, personal leave and
other paid leave as is allowed under the policies of Employer to
senior executives generally, Executive shall be entitled during
each twelve-month period during the Employment Term to twenty
(20) days of vacation, with full pay. The duration of such
vacations and the time or times when they shall be taken will be
determined by Executive in consultation with Employer. Such
vacation time shall be accrued at a uniform rate during each
such twelve-month period and shall, to the extent unused during
any such twelve-month period, be carried over to succeeding
twelve-month periods subject to a maximum carry forward of
twenty-five (25) days (subject to exceptions allowed by
Employer’s Chief Executive Officer). In addition to such
other amounts as may be payable pursuant to paragraph 10
below, Executive shall receive, within thirty days after his
employment hereunder terminates for any reason a payment (based
on Executive’s Base Salary in effect at the time of such
termination of employment) for all of Executive’s then
accrued but unused vacation time.

     
8.     Non-Competition.
During the Employment Term and (except as provided in
subparagraph 10(g) herein) for a period of two
(2) years thereafter, Executive shall not enter into or
participate in any business competitive to the Business carried
on by Employer by directly or indirectly engaging in or working
for any business in the United States authorized by the Federal
Communications Commission (“FCC”) to provide
terrestrial “commercial mobile radio service” as that
term is defined by the FCC (47 C.F.R. §20.3);
provided that this paragraph 8 shall not prohibit
Executive, following the
term of his employment hereunder, from engaging
in the practice of law, provided that he does so in a manner not
involving a breach of Executive’s obligations pursuant to
paragraph 9 herein. The above notwithstanding, the
ownership, for investment purposes of up to five percent (5%) of
the total outstanding equity securities of a publicly traded
company, shall not be considered a violation of this
paragraph 8 provided Executive has no participation in the
management of such company. The provisions of this
paragraph 8 shall survive the expiration and/or termination
of this Employment Agreement.

     
 9.     Confidential
Information. During the Employment Term and for a period
of two (2) years thereafter, Executive will not use for his
own advantage or disclose any proprietary or confidential
information (“Confidential Information”) relating to
the business operations or properties of Employer, any affiliate
of Employer or any of their respective customers, suppliers,
landlords, licensors or licensees. Executive specifically
acknowledges that Confidential Information includes any and all
information, whether reduced to writing (or in a form from which
information can be obtained, translated, or derived into
reasonably usable form), or maintained in the mind or memory of
Executive and whether compiled or created by Employer, which
derives independent economic value from not being readily known
to or

5

 

ascertainable by proper means by others who can
obtain economic value from the disclosure or use of such
information, that reasonable efforts have been put forth by
Employer to maintain the secrecy of Confidential Information,
that such Confidential Information is and will remain the sole
property of Employer. Upon the expiration or termination of the
Employment Term, Executive will surrender and deliver to
Employer all proprietary or confidential information of every
kind which has been reduced to writing (or is in a form from
which information can be obtained, translated, or derived into
reasonably usable form) relating to or connected with Employer
and its affiliates and their respective businesses, customers,
suppliers, landlord, licensors and licensees. The foregoing
confidential information provisions shall not apply to
information which: (i) is or becomes publicly known through
no wrongful act of the Executive; (ii) is rightfully
received from any third party without restriction and without
breach by Executive of this Employment Agreement; or
(iii) is independently developed by Executive before or
after the term of his employment hereunder or is independently
developed by a competitor of Employer at any time. The
provisions of this paragraph 9 shall survive the expiration
and/or termination of this Employment Agreement.
Executive’s obligations under this Paragraph 9 are in
addition to, and not in limitation or preemption of, all other
obligations of confidentiality which Executive may have to
Employer under general legal or equitable principles or statutes.

     
10.     Termination.

		
	 	     
    a.     Automatic
    Termination Upon Death. In the event of Executive’s
    death during the Employment Term, Executive’s employment
    hereunder shall be automatically terminated upon the date of
    death. As soon as reasonably practicable following
    Executive’s death, Employer shall pay to Executive’s
    estate (i) Executive’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary,
    through the payroll period ending immediately after the date of
    death; (ii) the pro rata portion of the target Annual Bonus
    through the date of death (calculated on the basis of the number
    of days of employment completed
    

6

 

		
	 	
    in the year divided by 365); (iii) any
    amount due hereunder for accrued but unused vacation time as of
    the date of death; and (iv) any benefits accrued under
    Employer’s employee benefit plans. With respect to any
    Options or Restricted Stock which remain unvested upon such
    Termination Date, there shall be immediate vesting of all
    Options and Restricted Stock, and the Options shall remain
    exercisable for at least one (1) year following death (but
    not beyond the tenth anniversary of the date the Option was
    granted).
    

		
	 	     
    b.     Termination by
    Employer. During the Initial Term, the Employer shall be
    entitled to terminate Executive’s employment in accordance
    with the terms of this subparagraph 10(b) at any time, only
    upon the establishment of “Cause” or the
    “Permanent Disability” of Executive (as those terms
    are defined below) by giving written notice to that effect to
    Executive and describing therein, in reasonable detail, the
    conduct giving rise to such termination and the clause(s) of
    this Agreement upon which Employer relies. During any Extended
    Term, Employer shall be entitled to terminate Executive’s
    employment in accordance with the terms of this
    paragraph 10(b)(i) at any time upon the establishment of
    Cause or the Permanent Disability of Executive, by giving
    written notice to that effect to Executive and describing
    therein, in reasonable detail, the conduct giving rise to such
    termination and the clause(s) of this Agreement upon which
    Employer relies; or (ii) for any other reason or for no
    reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
    Executive. For purposes hereof, the term
    “Cause” means either (1) Executive’s
    failure to substantially perform his duties and functions as
    contemplated hereunder, if such failure constitutes gross
    neglect or willful malfeasance, without taking reasonable steps
    to cease or remedy such failure within thirty (30) days
    after Executive’s receipt of written notice from Employer
    specifically identifying the nature of and circumstances
    relevant to any such claimed failure; (2) Executive’s
    committing fraud against Employer or embezzlement or engaging in
    conduct that results in Executive being convicted of a felony or
    being found, in a final adjudication of the matter, to have
    violated Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Securities
    Exchange Act of 1934 or the anti-harassment provisions of
    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age of
    Discrimination in Employment Act or the Americans with
    Disabilities Act; (3) Executive’s acting in an
    intentional manner which is reasonably likely to be materially
    detrimental or damaging to Employer’s reputation, business,
    operations or relations with its employees, suppliers or
    customers; (4) Executive’s habitual abuse of alcohol
    or prescription drugs or abuse of controlled substances; or
    (5) Executive’s committing any other material breach
    of this Employment Agreement without taking reasonable steps to
    cease or remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after
    Executive’s receipt of written notice from Employer
    specifically identifying the nature of and circumstances
    relevant to any such claimed material breach by Executive. For
    purposes hereof, the term “Permanent
    Disability” means: (i) Executive’s failure to
    devote full normal working time as required herein to his
    employment hereunder for a period of at least thirty (30)
    consecutive normal business days or for at least a majority of
    the normal business days in any consecutive ninety (90)-day
    period; and (ii) the existence of an illness or
    

7

 

		
	 	
    incapacity (either physical or mental) affecting
    Executive which, in the reasonable opinion of a Qualified
    Physician, is likely to be of such character or severity that
    Executive would be unable to resume devoting his full normal
    working time as required herein to his employment hereunder for
    a period of at least six (6) consecutive months. The term
    “Qualified Physician” means an impartial physician
    competent to diagnose and treat the illness or condition which
    Executive is believed to be suffering, selected by Employer and
    reasonably acceptable to Executive (or if Executive is then
    incapable of acting for himself, Executive’s personal
    representative), who shall have personally examined Executive
    and shall have personally reviewed Executive’s relevant
    medical records; provided Employer shall bear the costs of such
    Qualified Physician’s services and Executive agrees to
    submit to an examination by such Qualified Physician, to the
    disclosure of Executive’s relevant medical records to such
    Qualified Physician, and to permit the Qualified Physician to
    make a full report of findings and conclusions to Employer. The
    date upon which any termination effected pursuant to this
    subparagraph 10(b) shall be effective is set forth in
    subparagraph 10(d), and the effect of any such termination
    shall be as described in subparagraphs 10(e) and (f).
    

		
	 	     
    C.     Termination by
    Executive. Executive shall be entitled to terminate his
    employment hereunder (i) at any time upon the establishment
    of “Good Reason” or “Constructive
    Termination” (as those terms are defined below) by giving
    written notice to that effect to Employer; (ii) for any
    other reason or for no reason upon thirty (30) days prior
    written notice to Employer. For purposes hereof, the term
    “Good Reason” shall mean Executive’s
    termination of his employment hereunder as direct result of a
    relocation by Employer of the business site where Executive
    performs his principal job responsibilities or duties hereunder,
    (i) during the first two (2) years of the Employment
    Term, either more than ten (10) miles south and/or west, or
    more than thirty (30) miles in any other direction, from
    its current Reston, Virginia location, or (ii) after the
    first two (2) years of the Employment Term, more than
    thirty (30) miles in any direction from its current Reston,
    Virginia location. For purposes hereof, “Constructive
    Termination” shall mean Executive’s termination of
    his employment hereunder as a direct result of (i) a
    reduction in either Executive’s Base Salary below the
    initial Base Salary of three hundred seventy-five thousand
    dollars ($375,000.00) per annum or in the Annual Bonus
    percentage target below fifty percent (50%); (ii) a
    significant and adverse change in Executive’s duties,
    responsibilities or authority that is inconsistent with
    Executive’s intended position and status hereunder; or
    (iii) the material breach by the Employer of any provision
    of this Agreement which continues without reasonable steps being
    taken to cure such breach for a period of thirty (30) days
    after written notice thereof by Executive to Employer. The date
    upon which any termination effected pursuant to this
    subparagraph 10(c) shall be effective is set forth in
    subparagraph 10(d), and the effect of any such termination
    shall be as described in subparagraph 10(g).
    

8

 

		
	 	     
    d.     Termination
    Date. In the event Executive’s employment hereunder is
    terminated for any reason other than the Executive’s death,
    such termination shall take effect upon the termination date set
    forth in the written notice to that effect given by Executive to
    Employer or by Employer to Executive, as the case may be
    (provided that if either party disputes the propriety of such
    termination, the effective date of termination shall be as
    established by final resolution of such dispute, whether by
    agreement of the parties or award of an arbitrator as
    contemplated herein, in favor of the propriety of such
    termination). The date on which any such termination takes
    effect is referred to herein as the “Termination
    Date”. Employer, at its option, may require Executive
    to continue to perform his duties hereunder until the
    Termination Date or pay to Executive such amount of compensation
    and benefits otherwise due hereunder in accordance with
    Employer’s then existing salary payment schedule or in one
    lump-sum payment.
    
	 
	 	     
    e.     Effect of
    Termination by Employer For Cause. In the event
    Executive’s employment is terminated by Employer for Cause,
    or by Executive without thirty (30) days advance notice, without
    Good Reason and not as a result of a Constructive Termination,
    at any time during the Employment Term, then (i) Employer
    shall pay the Executive (A) Executive’s accrued but
    unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date; and
    (B) any amount due hereunder for accrued but unused
    vacation time as of the Termination Date; (ii) any and all
    of the Options that theretofore have vested may be exercised at
    any time on or before the thirtieth (30th) day
    following such Termination Date and, if not so exercised,
    thereupon automatically shall be canceled; (iii) any and
    all of the Restricted Stock not vested as of such Termination
    Date shall be canceled and forfeited; and (iv) Executive
    and Executive’s dependents shall be entitled to any
    benefits accrued under Employer’s employee benefit plans.
    
	 
	 	     
    f.     Effect of
    Termination Upon Permanent Disability. In the event
    Executive’s employment is terminated at any time during the
    Employment Term by either Executive or Employer upon the

    pay to Executive in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of
    the Termination Date (A) Executive’s accrued but
    unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date; and
    (B) any amount due hereunder for accrued but unused
    vacation time as of the Termination Date; (ii) Employer
    shall continue to pay Executive his Base Salary and, at its
    expense, shall continue to provide all benefits to Executive and
    Executive’s dependents, which they otherwise would have

    paragraph 5 hereof for a period of twelve (12) months
    following the Termination Date provided, however that such Base
    Salary payments shall be reduced by the amount of any short term

    time period under Employer’s disability benefits plans;
    (iii) With respect to any of the Options which remain
    unvested upon such Termination Date, there shall be full and

    remain exercisable for one (1) year following the Date of
    Termination (but not beyond the tenth anniversary of the date

9

 

of the Restricted Stock which remains unvested
upon such Termination Date, there shall be full and immediate
vesting of all of the Restricted Stock; and (v) Executive
and Executive’s dependents shall be entitled to any
benefits accrued under Employer’s employee benefit plans.

ending on the Termination Date.

		
	 	     
    g.     Effect of
    Termination for Good Reason or Constructive Termination or
    Termination Without Cause. In the event Executive’s
    employment is terminated during the Initial Term or the Extended
    Term, if any, by Executive in circumstances constituting Good
    Reason or Constructive Termination, or by Employer in any
    circumstances other than Cause or Permanent Disability
    (including but not limited to, termination upon thirty (30) days
    prior written notice at any time following the Initial Term),
    then from and after such Termination Date, (i) Executive
    shall not be subject to the non-competition provisions set forth
    in paragraph 8 hereof (unless his employment terminated by
    Executive for Good Reason in which case such non-competition
    provisions set forth in paragraph 8 apply or unless
    Executive’s employment is terminated upon thirty (30) days
    written notice at any time following the Initial Term in which
    case such non-competition provisions set forth in paragraph 8
    shall apply only for the one (1) year period following
    termination), and; (ii) Executive shall be entitled to
    receive a lump sum payment, within 30 days of the Termination
    Date, equal to the Base Salary and target Annual Bonus(es) for
    the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the
    first anniversary of the expiration of the Initial Term or, if
    later, the first anniversary of the Termination Date (provided
    however that, if Executive’s employment is terminated upon
    thirty (30) days written notice at any time following the
    Initial Term, such Base Salary payment shall not be made as a
    lump sum payment, but shall instead be paid in accordance with
    the Employer’s regular payroll schedule for the one (1)
    year period following the date of termination);
    (iii) Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump sum
    payment, within 30 days of the Termination Date, equal to any
    amount due for accrued but unused vacation time as of the
    Termination Date; (iv) Executive, and his dependents, shall
    continue to receive (at the same contributory expense as if
    Executive remained employed by Employer) all benefits Executive
    and his dependents would otherwise be entitled to during the
    Employment Term under paragraph 5 hereof for the period
    commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the first
    anniversary of the expiration of the Initial Term, or, if later,
    the first anniversary of the Termination Date; (v) with
    respect to any of the Initial Grant and February 2001 Grant
    Options which remain unvested upon such Termination Date, there
    shall be full and immediate vesting of all such Options and such
    Options shall remain exercisable for one hundred and eighty
    (180) days following the Termination Date (but in no event
    beyond the tenth anniversary of the date the Option was
    granted), subject to the Pooling Carve Out prior to
    September 30, 2001, to the extent applicable;
    (vi) with respect to any Restricted
    

10

 

		
	 	     
          Stock which
    remains unvested upon such Termination Date, it all shall
    immediately vest; and (vii) Executive and Executive’s
    dependants shall be entitled to any benefits accrued under
    Employer’s employee benefit plans.
    
	 
	 	     
    h.     Excess
    Parachute Payment. In the event that any portion of
    Executive’s payments or benefits hereunder are treated as
    an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of
    Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code
    (“Code”) or any comparable or successor
    provision of federal, state or local tax law, or its is
    otherwise asserted (including on an audit of either Employer or
    Executive) that any portion of such payments or benefits is such
    an “excess parachute payment,” Employer shall, prior to
    the date on which any amount of excise tax (or penalty or
    interest) must be paid in respect thereof, promptly make an
    additional lump sum payment in cash to Executive in an amount
    sufficient, after giving effect to all federal, state and other
    income, payroll and excise taxes with respect to such payment,
    to make Executive whole for all taxes imposed under
    Section 4999 of the Code, or any comparable or successor
    provision of federal, state or local tax law (including any
    penalties or interest related thereto), with respect to the
    “excess parachute payment” and all associated interest
    and penalty amounts associated with the excess parachute
    payment. Executive shall reasonably cooperate with Employer (at
    the Company’s sole cost and expense) to minimize any such
    tax liability (such cooperation shall not include foregoing or
    deferring any payments or benefits to which he is entitled).
    
	 
	 	     
    i.     Miscellaneous.
    In the event of any termination or attempted termination of
    Executive’s employment; (i) no termination of
    Executive’s employment shall relieve or release either
    party from liability hereunder based on any breach of the terms
    hereof by such party occurring prior to the Termination Date;
    (ii) the terms of this Employment Agreement relevant to
    performance or satisfaction of any obligation hereunder
    expressly remaining to be performed or satisfied in whole or in
    part at the Termination Date shall continue in force until such
    full performance or satisfaction has been accomplished; and
    (iii) the vesting and exercise provisions set forth in
    Employer’s Incentive Equity Plan and/or any option
    agreement with respect to the Options shall continue to apply,
    provided they are consistent with the terms of this Employment
    Agreement.
    
	 
	 	     
    j.     No
    Set-off. There shall be no right of setoff or counterclaim,
    in respect of any actual or alleged claim, debt or obligation,
    against any payments or benefits required to be made or provided
    to Executive hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant
    to subparagraphs 10(f) and (g) above). Employer agrees
    that any income and other employment benefits received by
    Executive from any and all sources other than Employer before,
    during or after the Employment Term shall in no way reduce or
    otherwise affect Employer’s obligations to make payments
    and afford benefits hereunder.
    

     
11.     Injunctive
Relief. It is agreed that in the event of
Executive’s breach of the provisions of paragraphs 8
or 9 above, Employer shall suffer irreparable harm which cannot
be

11

 

remedied solely by damages. Accordingly, in the
event of a breach by Executive of his obligations under
paragraphs 8 or 9 of this Employment Agreement, Employer
shall be entitled to seek and obtain interim restraints and
permanent injunctive relief without proving the inadequacy of
damages as a remedy, restraining Executive and any business,
firm, partnership, individual, corporation or entity
participating in such breach or attempted breach. Subject to
paragraph 12, nothing herein shall be construed as
prohibiting Employer from pursuing any other remedies available
at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach,
including the recovery of damages and the termination of the
services of Executive.

     
12.     Arbitration.
With the exception of any dispute regarding the application of
paragraphs 8 or 9 above, any dispute or controversy arising
out of or relating to this Employment Agreement or any claimed
breach hereof shall be exclusively settled, at the request of
either party, by an arbitration proceeding conducted before a
single arbitrator in accordance with the then-effective
employment dispute resolution rules of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”), with the award determined
to be appropriate by the arbitrator therein to be final,
non-appealable and binding on the parties hereto, and with
judgment upon such award as is rendered in any such arbitration
proceeding available for entry and enforcement in any court
having jurisdiction of the parties hereto. The arbitrator shall
be an impartial arbitrator qualified to serve in accordance with
the rules of the AAA and shall be reasonably acceptable to each
of the Employer and the Executive. If no such acceptable
arbitrator is so appointed within thirty (30) days after the
initial request for arbitration of such disputed matter, each of
the parties promptly shall designate a person qualified to serve
as an arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the AAA, and
the two persons so designated promptly shall select the
arbitrator from among those persons qualified to serve in
accordance with the rules of the AAA. The arbitration shall be
held in Reston, Virginia, or in such other place as may be
agreed upon in writing at the time by the parties. The expenses
of the arbitration proceeding shall be borne by Employer, but
the arbitrator’s award may provide that Executive shall
reimburse Employer for all or any part of such expenses if
Executive is not the prevailing party on any of the issues
involved in such arbitration. The Employer shall pay for and
bear the cost of its own and Executive’s experts, evidence
and counsel in such arbitration proceeding, but the
arbitrator’s award may provide that, in addition to any
other amounts or relief due to Employer, Executive shall
reimburse Employer for all or any part of the costs of
Executive’s experts, evidence and counsel initially
incurred by Employer, to the extent the award finds such costs
properly allocable to any issue(s) in dispute as to which the
award indicates the Employer to be the prevailing party.

     
13.     Indemnification.

		
	 	     
    a.     Employer shall
    indemnify Executive to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
    law as in effect on the date hereof against all costs, expenses,
    liabilities and losses (including, without limitation,
    attorney’s fees, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in
    settlement) reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with
    any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
    administrative or investigative in which Executive is made, or
    is threatened to be made, a party to or a witness in
    such action, suit or proceeding by reason of the
    fact that he is or was an officer, director, consultant, agent
    or executive of the Employer or of any Employer’s
    controlled affiliates or is or was serving as an officer,
    consultant, director, member, executive, trustee, agent or
    fiduciary of any other entity at the request of the Employer (a
    “Proceeding”).
    

		
	 	     
    b.     Employer shall
    advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
    by him in connection with a proceeding within twenty (20) days
    after receipt by Employer of a written request for such advance,
    accompanied by an itemized list of the costs and expenses and
    Executive’s written undertaking to repay to Employer on
    demand the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be
    determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified
    against such costs and expenses.
    
	 
	 	     
    c.     The
    indemnification provided to Executive hereunder is in addition
    to, and not in lieu of, any additional indemnification to which
    he may be entitled pursuant to Employer’s Certificate of
    Incorporation or Bylaws, any insurance maintained by Employer
    from time to time providing coverage to Executive and other
    officers and directors of Employer and/or its affiliates, or any
    separate written agreement with Executive. Employer represents
    it has, and will continue to maintain during the
    

12

 

		
	 	
    Employment Term, customary directors and officers
    liability insurance coverage. The provisions of this
    paragraph 13 shall survive any termination of this
    Employment Agreement.
    

     
14.     Amendment
and Modification. This Employment Agreement contains the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. Subject to applicable law and upon the consent of
the Compensation Committee, this Employment Agreement may be
amended, modified and supplemented by written agreement of
Employer and Executive signed by both parties with respect to
any of the terms continued herein.

     
15.     Waiver of
Compliance. Any failure of either party to comply with
any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition on its part
contained herein may be expressly waived in writing signed by
the other party, but such waiver or failure to insist upon
strict compliance shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel
with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Whenever this
Employment Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf
of any party, such consent shall be given in writing.

     
16.     Notices.
All notices, requests, demands and other communications required
or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been duly given if and when delivered by hand, overnight
courier or five days after having been deposited in the United
States Mail, mailed via certified or registered mail with

instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing

determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give
or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of Securities of such series; provided, that the Company may not set a
record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with
respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in the next paragraph. If not set by the Company prior to
the first solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any
Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to
such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day
(or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be

Holders of one or more series of Securities, only the Holders of Securities of
such series on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to
give or take, or vote on, the relevant action. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to
take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless
taken on or prior to the applicable Record Expiration Date by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such
record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company
from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date
previously set shall automatically and without any action by any Person be
canceled and of no effect), nor shall anything in this paragraph be construed to
render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount
of any Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is
taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
matter(s) to be submitted for potential action by Holders and the applicable
Record Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder
of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 512, in each case, with respect to Securities of such series. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Record Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record
date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to
this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and
without any action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), nor shall
anything in this paragraph be construed to render ineffective any action taken
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date
is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall
cause notice of such record date, the matter(s) to be submitted for potential
action by Holders and the applicable Record Expiration Date to be given to the
Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in
the manner set forth in Section 106.

        With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 104, the
party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the "Record
Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Record Expiration Date to
any earlier or later day; provided, that no such change shall be effective
unless notice of the proposed new Record Expiration Date is given to the other
party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set
forth in Section 106, on or before the existing Record Expiration Date. If a
Record Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set
pursuant to this Section 104, the party hereto that set such record date shall
be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as
the Record Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change
the Record Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Record Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the
applicable record date.

        (d) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register.

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

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

  SECTION 105.      Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

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

        (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office, Attention: _______________, or

        (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or dispatched for delivery
(prepaid by the sender) by an overnight courier service with written evidence of
delivery required, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its
principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, marked
"Attention: _______________," or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Trustee by the Company.

  SECTION 106.      Notice 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 entitled
to receive such notice, at his address as it appears in the Security Register,
not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date
(if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture
provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and
such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
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 give such notice by mail, then
such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

  SECTION 107.      Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

        If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision
of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture Act to be
part of and govern this Indenture, the latter 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 to be excluded, as the case
may be.

        In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities 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 111.      Benefits of Indenture.

        Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied,

hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

  SECTION 113.      Legal Holidays.

        In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities, other than a provision of the Securities of any series which
specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section 113)
payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of
Payment with the same force and effect (including with respect to the accrual of
interest) as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the
Stated Maturity; provided, that no interest shall accrue for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the
case may be.

  SECTION 114.      No Recourse Against Others.

        No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any of the Securities, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise
in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Company contained in this Indenture, or in any of the

        (15) if the amount of payments of principal of or any premium or

     benefit of Securities of all series, or any other covenant or warranty
     included for the benefit of Securities of the series in lieu of any
     covenant or warranty included in this Indenture for the benefit of
     Securities of all series, or any provision that any covenant or warranty

     901(5)).

        All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except
as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the
Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or
determined in the manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate referred to
above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one
series need not be issued at one time and, unless otherwise provided, a series
may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

        Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series,
the Company, at its option, may pay the interest on the Securities of any series
that bears interest by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled
thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register.

        If any of the terms of a series are established by action taken pursuant
to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order
contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such series
of Securities.

  SECTION 302.      Denominations.

        The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form
without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. In the absence of any specifications pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, the

                                       27
<PAGE>

Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof.

  SECTION 303.      Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

        The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities
may be manual or facsimile.

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

        At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the
form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or
pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301,
in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, in addition to the items required by Section 102, and
(subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel stating:

        (a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant
     to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been
     established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

        (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant
     to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been
     established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

        (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
     Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
     conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
     legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
     their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
     reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
     relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
     principles.

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

        Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to

                                       28
<PAGE>

deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or
the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such
preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security
of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication
upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

        Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

        No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all
purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

  SECTION 304.      Temporary Securities.

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

        If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of that series to be prepared. After the preparation of
definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series
may be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of
the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such series and tenor.

  SECTION 305.      Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

        The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee for the Securities of each series a register (the register maintained in
such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security
Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may

                                       29
<PAGE>

prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of
transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar"
for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided.

        Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any
series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of
the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor.

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

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

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

        No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

        If the Securities of any series (or any series and specified tenor) are
to be redeemed, in whole or in part, the Company shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of that series (or that
series and tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending
at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

        If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the
Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one
or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee for
the Securities of such series shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the
Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or

                                       30
<PAGE>

more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent
and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more
Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for
such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such depositary, and (iii)
shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "THIS SECURITY IS A
GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND
IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A
SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY, UNLESS AND UNTIL
THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE
FORM" AND SUCH OTHER LEGEND AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE DEPOSITARY."

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 305, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a
Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may
not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series 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 for such series or a nominee of such successor
Depositary.

        If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the
Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for Securities of a
series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good standing
under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company
shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such
series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice
or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee
for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will
authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security
or Global Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global
Security or Global Securities.

        The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities
shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Global Securities. In
such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such
series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities
of such Series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Global Security or Global Securities representing
such series in exchange for such Global Security or Global Securities.

        If the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of
one or more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company
will promptly execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such
series in

                                       31
<PAGE>

definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security or Global Securities representing such series in
exchange for such Global Security or Global Securities.

        If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to
Securities of a series, the Depositary for such series of Securities may
surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole
or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and
deliver, without charge:

        (i) to each Person specified by the Depositary a new registered Security
     or Securities of the same series, of an authorized denomination as
     requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in
     exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

        (ii) to the Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to
     the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered
     Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered
     to Holders thereof.

        Upon the exchange of a Global Security in whole for Securities in
definitive form, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee for the
Securities of such series. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
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 for the
Securities of such series. Such Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the
Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

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

        If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

                                       32
<PAGE>

        Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 306, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

        Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 306 in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, and any such new Security
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued
hereunder.

        The provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

  SECTION 307.      Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

        Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid
to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest.

        Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (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 clause (1) or (2) below:

        (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
     on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
     shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
     Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
     on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and
     at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
     money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
     Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
     for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
     deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
     such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee
     shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
     which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
     date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by
     the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall
     promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name
     and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
     payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
     be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner
     specified in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special
     Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment

                                       33
<PAGE>

     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 Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
     Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record
     Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

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

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

  SECTION 308.      Persons Deemed Owners.

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

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee for the Security or any
agent of any of the foregoing from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary, as a Holder, with
respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such Depositary and owners
of beneficial interest in such Global Security, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its
nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

  SECTION 309.      Cancellation.

        All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company
has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section

                                       34
<PAGE>

309, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities
held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order, which
shall be effected consistent with such Company Order in accordance with the
standard procedures of the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver a certificate of
each such disposal to the Company.

  SECTION 310.      Computation of Interest.

        Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series (i) interest on any Securities which bear interest at a
fixed rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months and (ii) interest on any Securities which bear interest at a
variable rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in an
interest period divided by 360.

  SECTION 311.      CUSIP Numbers.

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

  SECTION 401.      Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

        This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein
expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when

        (1) either

                  (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
            (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
            and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and
            (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been
            deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company
            and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust,
            as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for
            cancellation; or

                                       35
<PAGE>

                  (B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the
            Trustee for cancellation

                        (i) have become due and payable, or

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

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

        and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited
        or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
        the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Debt on
        such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
        cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the
        date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due
        and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case
        may be;

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

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

        Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
pursuant to this Article Four, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee
under Section 607, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent
under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 401, the obligations of
the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall
survive.

  SECTION 402.      Application of Trust Money.

        Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee.

  SECTION 501.      Events of Default.

        Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, "Event of Default", wherever used herein with
respect to Securities of any particular series, means any one of the following
events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):

        (4) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any of
     the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company set forth in the
     Securities of that series or in this Indenture (other than a covenant or
     agreement in respect of which a failure by the Company to duly observe or
     perform is specifically dealt with in this Section 501 and other than those
     set forth exclusively in the terms of Securities of any series other than
     that series, or those which have been included in this Indenture for the
     benefit of Securities of any series other than that series), and the
     continuance of such failure for a period of 60 days after there has been
     given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or
     to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
     amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding, a written
     notice specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied and
     stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

        (5) the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the
     premises granting relief in respect of the Company or any Significant
     Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable
     Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
     law adjudging the Company or any Significant Subsidiary as being bankrupt
     or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
     reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of
     the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under any applicable Federal or
     state law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, custodian, assignee,
     trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or any
     Significant Subsidiary, or of substantially all of its properties, or
     ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company or any

     Subsidiary, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and
     in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

        (6) the institution by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of
     proceedings to be adjudicated as being bankrupt or insolvent, or the
     consent by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to the institution of
     bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by the
     Company or any Significant Subsidiary of a petition or answer or consent
     seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or state
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or the consent
     by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to the filing of any such
     petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, custodian,
     assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company
     or any Significant Subsidiary, or of any substantial part of its
     properties, or the making by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of
     an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company
     or any Significant Subsidiary in writing of its inability to pay its debts
     generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the
     Company or any Significant Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action; or

        (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of
     that series.

  SECTION 502.      Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

        If one or more of the Events of Default specified in Section 501, other
than in Section 501(5) or 501(6), with respect to any particular series of
Securities at the time Outstanding shall have occurred and be continuing, then
in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that
series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and
to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (or, if
the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
amount of principal as may be specified by the terms of that series) of all the
Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. If
an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) occurs and is
continuing, then the principal of (and premium, if any, on), or a portion
thereof, all the Securities of that series shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holders.

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

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

                                       38
<PAGE>

                  (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series
            (without duplication of any amount thereof paid or deposited
            pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) below),

                  (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities
            of that series which have become due otherwise than by such
            declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or
            rates prescribed therefor in such Securities (without duplication of
            any amount thereof paid or deposited pursuant to clause (A) above or
            clause (C) below),

                  (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
            interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed
            therefor in such Securities (without duplication of any amount
            thereof paid or deposited pursuant to clause (A) or clause (B)
            above), and

                  (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
            reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
            Trustee, its agents and counsel, and other amounts due to the
            Trustee under Section 607; and

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

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

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

        The Company covenants that if, with respect to Securities of any
     particular series:

        (1) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
     any, on) any of the Securities of that series at its Maturity, or

        (2) default is made in the payment of any interest on any of the
     Securities of that series when such interest becomes due and payable and
     such default continues for a period of 30 days,

the Company will, upon written demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for
the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and,
to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue
interest, at the rate or rates provided by the Securities of that series, and,
in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

                                       39
<PAGE>

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

  SECTION 504.      Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

        In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to
have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amount due 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 607.

        No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and the Trustee may be a member
of a creditors' or other similar committee.

  SECTION 505.      Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

  SECTION 506.      Application of Money Collected.

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

                                       40
<PAGE>

        FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;
        and

        SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal
        of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in respect of
        which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected,
        ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
        amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium,
        if any) and interest, respectively; and

        THIRD: To the Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

  SECTION 507.      Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  SECTION 508.      Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
                  and Interest.

        Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307)
any interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and, if applicable, to
convert such Security in accordance with the provisions of the Security of that
series specified pursuant to Section 301(11) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such

                                       41
<PAGE>

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

  SECTION 510.      Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

        Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
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 Security to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by
law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case
may be.

  SECTION 512.      Control by Holders.

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

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

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

                                       42
<PAGE>

  SECTION 513.      Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

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

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

  SECTION 514.      Undertaking for Costs.

        In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit,
and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, in the
manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act, having due regard
to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party;
provided, that neither this Section 514 nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be
deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an
assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or the Trustee.

  SECTION 515.      Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                   THE TRUSTEE

  SECTION 601.      Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

        The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by
the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 601.

  SECTION 602.      Notice of Defaults.

        If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect
to a series of Securities and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holder of Securities of such series notice
of such Default or Event of Default as and to the extent provided by the Trust
Indenture Act; provided, however, that (i) in the case of any Default of the
character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series,
no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the
occurrence thereof; and (ii) except in the case of a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any
Security of any series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if it determines, in
good faith, that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of
such Securities.

  SECTION 603.      Certain Rights of Trustee.

        Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

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

             (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall
        be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any
        resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a
        Board Resolution;

             (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee
        shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
        taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless
        other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
        bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

                                       44
<PAGE>

             (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the
        advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
        complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
        suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
        thereon;

             (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
        rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or
        direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such
        Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
        indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
        incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

             (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
        the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
        instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
        bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
        document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
        inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit,
        and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
        investigation, it shall be entitled (subject to reasonable
        confidentiality arrangements as may be proposed by the Company) to
        examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by
        agent or attorney;

             (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
        or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents
        or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
        misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed
        with due care by it hereunder; and

             (h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default
        or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series for
        which it is acting as Trustee unless a Responsible Officer of Trustee
        has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which
        is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
        Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities
        of such series and this Indenture.

  SECTION 604.      Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of
                    Securities.

        The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use
or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

  SECTION 605.      Trustee May Hold Securities.

        The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections
608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the

                                       45
<PAGE>

Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

  SECTION 606.      Money Held in Trust.

        Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed in writing with the Company.

  SECTION 607.      Compensation and Reimbursement.

        The Company agrees:

        (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the
     Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all
     services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited
     by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
     express trust);

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

        (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
     and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense incurred without
     negligence or bad faith on its part, including taxes (other than taxes
     based upon, measured by or determined by the revenue or income of the
     Trustee), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
     administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
     expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection
     with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

        As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Section 607, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to
all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing to it pursuant
to this Section 607, except with respect to funds held in trust for the payment
of the principal of and interest, premium and other amounts on, the Securities.

        When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with
an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6), the expenses
(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law.

        The provisions of this Section 607 shall survive any termination of this
Indenture.

                                       46
<PAGE>

  SECTION 608.      Conflicting Interests.

        If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a
conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with
respect to Securities of more than one series.

  SECTION 609.      Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

        There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person
that is eligible under the Trust Indenture Act to act as such. The Trustee shall
have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of Federal or state supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section 609 and to the extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall, with respect to the
Securities of any series, cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 609, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect hereinafter specified in this Article Six.

  SECTION 610.      Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

        (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 611.

        (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the
Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

        (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, delivered to the Trustee and
to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611 shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
removal, the Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

                                       47
<PAGE>

        (d) If at any time:

            (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written
        request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona
        fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

            (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and
        shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
        any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

        (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of
such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal
or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor
Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent
supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

        (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal
of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all
Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

  SECTION 611.      Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

        (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every successor Trustee so appointed 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; but, on the 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 the 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.

        (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one of more (but not all) series, the Company, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2)
if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the
same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates.

        (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred
to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 611, as the case may be.

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

                                       49
<PAGE>

        (e) No Trustee hereunder shall be liable for the acts or omissions of
any successor Trustee.

  SECTION 612.      Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

  SECTION 613.      Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

        If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor).

  SECTION 614.      Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

        The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original
issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 614, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 614, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 614.

                                       50
<PAGE>

        Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section 614, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

        An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 614, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106, to all Holders
of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will
serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section 614.

        The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 614.

        If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to
this Section 614, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:

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

  SECTION 701.      Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders.

        The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

             (a) not later than 15 days after each Regular Record Date for each
        series of Securities at the time Outstanding (or each date determined
        pursuant to Section 301 in the case of any series of Original Issue
        Discount Securities), a list for each series of Securities, in such form
        as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
        Holders of Securities of such series as of such Regular Record Date (or
        as of such other date, as the case may be); and

             (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing,
        within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a
        list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days
        prior to the time such list is furnished;

provided, however, that so long as such Trustee is acting as Security Registrar
for any series of Securities, no such list shall be furnished with respect to
any such series.

  SECTION 702.      Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

        (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent
list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 701 and the names and
addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security
Registrar, if it is acting as such. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished
to it as provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

        (b) The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect
to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the
corresponding rights and duties of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the
Trust Indenture Act.

        (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee
nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of any
disclosure of information as to the names and addresses of Holders made pursuant
to the Trust Indenture Act.

  SECTION 801.      Company May Consolidate, Etc. Only on Certain Terms.

        The Company (x) shall not, in any transaction or series of related
transactions, merge or consolidate with or into, or sell, assign, convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially
as an entirety to, any Person, and (y) shall not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to enter into any such transaction or series of transactions if
such transaction or series of transactions, in the aggregate, would result in a
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of the
properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless, in each case (x) or
(y), at the time and after giving effect thereto

        (i) either: (A) if the transaction or series of transactions is a
     consolidation of the Company with or a merger of the Company with or into
     any other Person, the Company shall be the surviving Person of such merger
     or consolidation, or (B) the Person formed by any consolidation with or
     merger with or into the Company, or to which the properties and assets of
     the Company or the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
     whole, as the case may be, substantially as an entirety are sold, assigned,
     conveyed, leased or otherwise transferred (any such surviving Person or
     transferee Person referred to in this clause (B) being the "Surviving
     Entity"), shall be a corporation, partnership or trust organized and
     existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof
     or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume by a supplemental
     indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to
     the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and
     this Indenture and, in each case, this Indenture, as so supplemented, shall
     remain in full force and effect, and

        (ii) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such
     transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating
     any Debt Incurred in connection with or as a result of such transaction or
     series of transactions as having been

                                       53
<PAGE>

     Incurred at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of
     Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, however, that the foregoing requirements shall not apply to any
transaction or series of transactions involving the sale, assignment,
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of the properties and assets by
any Restricted Subsidiary to any other Restricted Subsidiary, or the merger or
consolidation of any Restricted Subsidiary with or into any other Restricted
Subsidiary.

        For all purposes of this Indenture and the Securities, Subsidiaries of
any Surviving Entity will, upon such transaction or series of transactions,
become Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries as provided herein.

  SECTION 802.      Successor Corporation to be Substituted.

        Upon any transaction or series of transactions that are of the type
described in clause (x) or (y) of, and are effected in accordance with, Section
801, the Surviving Entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company,
with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company. Such
Surviving Entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its
own name or in the name of Nextel Communications, Inc. or in the name of any
corporation which previously shall have become the Company in accordance with
the provisions of this Article Eight any or all of the Securities issuable
hereunder, which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Surviving Entity instead
of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this
Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, any
Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers
of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such
Surviving Entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the
Trustee for that purpose; and, thereafter the predecessor Person shall be
relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Securities. All of the Securities of a particular series so issued shall in all
respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Securities of such series theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at
the date or the execution hereof.

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

  SECTION 901.      Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

        Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a
Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter
into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the
Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

        (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the
     assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and
     in the Securities; or

                                       54
<PAGE>

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

        (3) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the
     Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such Events of Default
     are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating
     that such additional Events of Default are expressly being included solely
     for the benefit of such series); or

        (4) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such
     extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of
     Securities in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal,
     and with or without interest coupons, or to permit or facilitate the
     issuance of Securities in uncertificated form; or

        (5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this
     Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided, that
     any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (A) apply to any
     Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental
     indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (B) modify the
     rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or
     (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such Security
     Outstanding; or

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

        (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
     permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or

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

        (9) to make any provisions with respect to the conversion rights of
     Holders, including providing for the conversation of the Securities into
     any other security or securities of the Company; or

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

  SECTION 902.      Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

        With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such supplemental
indenture (voting as a single class), by Act of said Holders delivered to the
Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and
the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of Securities of each such series under this Indenture; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby,

             (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
        installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the
        principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (including any
        change in the index, indices or formula pursuant to which such rate is
        determined that would reduce such rate for any period) or any premium
        payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the
        principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and
        payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof
        pursuant to Section 502, or change any Place of Payment where, or the
        coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest
        thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the
        enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
        (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or

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

             (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section 902 or Section 513
        or Section 1005, except to increase any such percentage or to provide
        that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
        waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
        affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be
        deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in
        the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section
        902 and Section 1005, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance
        with the requirements of Sections 611 and 901(8).

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

                                       56
<PAGE>

        It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 902
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

  SECTION 903.      Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

        In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article Nine or the modifications
thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which
affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

  SECTION 904.      Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

        Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article
Nine, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and
every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby.

  SECTION 905.      Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

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

  SECTION 906.      Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

        Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article Nine may, and shall if
required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to
any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so
determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

                                   ARTICLE TEN

                                    COVENANTS

  SECTION 1001.     Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

        The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series
in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. Interest on
Securities shall be payable without presentment of such Securities and only to
the registered Holders thereof determined as provided in Section 307. The
Company shall have the right to require a Holder, in connection with the payment
of the principal of

                                       57
<PAGE>

(and premium, if any) and interest on a Security, to present at the office or
agency of the Company at which such payment is made a certificate, in such form
as the Company may from time to time prescribe, to enable the Company to
determine its duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes, assessments or
governmental charges which it may be required to deduct or withhold therefrom
under any present or future law of the United States of America or of any state,
county, municipality or taxing or withholding authority therein, and the Company
shall be entitled to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to such
deduction or withholding on the basis of information contained in such
certificate or, if no such certificate shall be so presented, on the basis of
any presumption created by any such law and shall be entitled to act in
accordance with such determination. Except as otherwise provided as contemplated
by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, at the option of the
Company, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Holder as
such address appears in the Security Register.

  SECTION 1002.     Maintenance of Office or Agency.

        So long as any Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Company
will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series of Securities an office
or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee)
where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment,
where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of
the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee
with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. In the event any such notice or
demand is so made or served on the Trustee, the Trustee will promptly forward
copies thereof to the Company.

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

        With respect to any Global Security, and except as otherwise may be
specified for such Global Security as contemplated by Section 301, the Corporate
Trust Office for the Trustee shall be the Place of Payment where such Global
Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of
transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange
therefore, provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or
delivery effected pursuant to the procedures of the Depositary for such Global
Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of Payment for such
Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

  SECTION 1003.     Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

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

        Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series
of Securities, it will, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each
due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities
of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount,
such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such
Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

        The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section 1003, that such Paying Agent will: (i) comply with the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as Paying Agent and (ii)
during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon
the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in
respect of the Securities of that series.

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

        Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two
years after such principal (and 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 Security
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in
the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall
not be less than 30 days from the

                                       59
<PAGE>

date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Company.

  SECTION 1004.     Statement by Officers as to Default.

        The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers
thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of
the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company
shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status
thereof of which they may have knowledge.

  SECTION 1005.     Waiver of Certain Covenants.

        The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
covenant or condition set forth in accordance with Section 301(25), Section
901(2) or Section 901(7), with respect to the Securities of any series if before
the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to
or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company
and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

  SECTION 1101.     Applicability of Article.

        Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated
Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series)
in accordance with this Article Eleven.

  SECTION 1102.     Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

        The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution or in any other manner specified, as contemplated by
Section 301, for such Securities or series of Securities. In the case of any
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any
series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed
by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the
Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to
the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of
such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the
Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restriction.

  SECTION 1103.     Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

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

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

        The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply to any
redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be
redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any redemption in part, the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an
authorized denomination for such Security.

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

  SECTION 1104.     Notice of Redemption.

        Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in
the Security Register.

        All notices of redemption shall state (including CUSIP number, if any):

        (1) the Redemption Date;

        (2) the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any;

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

<PAGE>

        (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued
     interest, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be
     redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on
     and after said date;

        (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for
     payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any; and

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

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

        Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
presumed conclusively to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice; and failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any
defect in such notice, to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption
as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
redemption for any other Security.

  SECTION 1105.     Deposit of Redemption Price.

        Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date)
accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

  SECTION 1106.     Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

        Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest
to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, required as such at the close
of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307.

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

<PAGE>

  SECTION 1107.     Securities Redeemed in Part.

        Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Security Registrar
so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company
shall execute, and the Security Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of
the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered; provided,
that if a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall
be a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of
the principal of the Global Security.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

  SECTION 1201.     Applicability of Article.

        The provisions of this Article Twelve shall be applicable to any sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.

        The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking
fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the
cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided
in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such
series.

  SECTION 1202.     Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

        The Company (1) may deliver outstanding Securities of a series (other
than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit
Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the
Company pursuant to the term of such Securities or through the application of
permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the term of such
Securities, in each case, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the term of such
series; provided, that such Securities have not been previously so credited.
Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee
at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

                                       63
<PAGE>

  SECTION 1203.     Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

        Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Security Registrar any
Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 60 days before each such sinking
fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense
of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

  SECTION 1301.     Applicability of Article; Company's Option to Effect
                    Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

        Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to Securities of a particular series, the Company may, at its option, by Board
Resolution or any other manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such
series of Securities, at any time, with respect to any series of Securities,
elect to have either or both of Section 1302 or Section 1303 be applied to the
Outstanding Securities of such series, upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article Thirteen.

  SECTION 1302.     Defeasance and Discharge.

        Upon the Company's exercise under Section 1301 of its option to have
this Section 1302 applied to the Outstanding Securities of a particular series
(as a whole and not in part), the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of
such series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are
satisfied (hereinafter called "Defeasance"), and thereafter such Securities
shall not be subject to redemption pursuant thereto. For this purpose, such
Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire Debt represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to
have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this
Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of the Outstanding Securities
of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1305
and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities when payments
are due, (2) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under
Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4)

                                       64
<PAGE>

this Article Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the
Company may exercise its option to have this Section 1302 applied to the
Outstanding Securities of such series notwithstanding the prior exercise of its
option to have Section 1303 applied to the Securities of such series. Following
a Defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated
because of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

  SECTION 1303.     Covenant Defeasance.

        Upon the Company's exercise under Section 1301 of its option to have
this Section 1303 applied to the Outstanding Securities of a particular series
(as a whole and not in part), (1) the Company shall be released from its
obligations under Section 1004, and under any additional or substitute covenant
established with respect to the Securities of any series pursuant to Section
301(25), Section 901(2) or Section 901(7) if the Securities of such series have
been determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision (with
Section 1004, and any such additional and substitute covenant, referred to
herein as a "Defeasible Covenant"), and (2) the occurrence of any event
specified in Section 501(4) with respect to such Defeasible Covenant shall be
deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case, with respect to
the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section 1303 on
and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied
(hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such
series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Defeasible
Covenant, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any Defeasible Covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
Defeasible Covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, but
the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.
Following a Covenant Defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may
not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or
Section 501(6) or by reference to Section 501(4) and such Defeasible Covenant.

  SECTION 1304.     Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

        The following shall be the conditions precedent to the application of
either Section 1302 or Section 1303 to the Outstanding Securities of a
particular series:

        (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
     deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the
     requirements contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the
     provisions of this Article Thirteen 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 Securities, (A) if the Securities of such series are
     denominated in Dollars, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) 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, money in an amount, or
     (iii) a combination thereof, in each case, sufficient, without
     reinvestment, in the opinion of a 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 any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the

                                       65
<PAGE>

     principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding
     Securities of such series on the Maturity of such principal, premium, if
     any, or interest, and any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous
     payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the due
     dates thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such
     Securities, or (B) if the Securities of such series are denominated in a
     currency or currency unit other than Dollars, (i) money in such currency or
     currency units in an amount, or (ii) Foreign Government Obligations that
     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, money or such currency or currency unit in an
     amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, in each case, sufficient, without
     reinvestment, in the opinion of a 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 Securities of such
     series on the Maturity of such principal, premium, if any, or interest and
     any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the
     Outstanding Securities of such series on the due dates thereof, in
     accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. Before
     such a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the
     Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date or dates in
     accordance with Article Eleven, which shall be given effect in applying the
     foregoing. As used herein: (a) "U.S. Government Obligation" means any
     security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America
     for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of
     America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or
     supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United
     States of America, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
     full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in
     either case (i) or (ii), is 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; and (b) "Foreign Government Obligation" means any security which
     is (x) a direct obligation of the government that issued such currency for
     the payment of which the full faith and credit of such government is
     pledged or (y) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and
     acting as an agency or instrumentality for such government, the payment of
     which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation
     by such government, which, in either case (x) or (y), is not callable or
     redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include any
     depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the
     Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any Foreign Government
     Obligation or a specific payment of principal or interest on any such
     Foreign Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the
     holder of such depositary receipt; provided, that (except as required by

                                       66
<PAGE>

     law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deductions from the
     amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount
     received by the custodian in respect of the Foreign Government Obligation
     or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such
     depositary receipt.

        (2) In the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to the
     Outstanding Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have
     delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company
     has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
     Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture there has been a
     change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B)
     to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the
     Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize gain or
     loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance
     and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be
     subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at
     the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and
     discharge were not to occur.

        (3) In the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to the
     Outstanding Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have
     delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
     Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize gain or
     loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and
     Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities and will
     be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and
     at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant
     Defeasance were not to occur.

        (4) No Default with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series
     shall have occurred and be continuing (A) on the date of such deposit or
     (B) insofar as the subsections 501(5) and (6) are concerned, at any time
     during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or,
     if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest
     preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit, it
     being understood that the condition in this clause (B) shall not be deemed
     satisfied until the expiration of such period.

        (5) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee
     for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined
     in Section 608 or for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to
     any securities of the Company.

        (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach
     or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or
     instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

        (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust
     arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the
     meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such
     trust shall be registered thereunder or exempt from registration
     thereunder.

                                       67
<PAGE>

        (8) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall be effected in
     compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may
     be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

        (9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
     precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been
     complied with.

  SECTION 1305.     Deposited Money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign
                    Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous
                    Provisions.

        Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money and U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying
trustee (solely for purposes of this Section 1305 and Section 1306, the Trustee
and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the "Trustee")
pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of the Outstanding Securities of such series
shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust 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 money or U.S. Government
Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304
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
Outstanding Securities of such series.

        Anything in this Article Thirteen 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 or Foreign Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the
amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to the
Outstanding Securities of such series.

  SECTION 1306.     Reinstatement.

        If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with this Article Thirteen, 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
Outstanding Securities of such series from which the Company has been discharged
or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen with respect to
the Outstanding Securities of such series, until such time as the Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted

                                       68
<PAGE>

to apply all such money in accordance with Section 1305 with respect to such
Securities in accordance with this Article Thirteen; provided, however, that if
the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any
such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall
be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money so held in trust by the Trustee or the
Paying Agent.

which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
