                                      13

<PAGE>

fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.
The Company may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the
Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the
acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by
an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the Company and such successor
Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the
Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in
accordance with clause (i) of this proviso. The Company or any affiliate of the
Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar; provided that neither the Company
nor an affiliate of the Company shall act as Paying Agent in connection with
the defeasance of the Securities or the discharge of this Indenture under
Article 8.

     The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and
Authenticating Agent. If, at any time, the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Registrar shall make available to the Trustee ten days prior to each interest
payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request the
names and addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Security Register.

     SECTION 2.06. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Not later than 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on each due date of any Principal or interest on any
Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in
immediately available funds sufficient to pay such Principal or interest. The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent
for the payment of Principal of and interest on such Securities and shall
promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making
any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all
money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the
Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon
written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing
so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over
to the Trustee. If the Company or any affiliate of the Company acts as Paying
Agent, it will, on or before each due date of any Principal of or interest on
any Securities, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of
the Holders thereof a sum of money sufficient to pay such Principal or interest
so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or
otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify
the Trustee in writing of its action or failure to act as required by this
Section.

     SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. Unregistered Securities (except for
any temporary global Unregistered Securities) and coupons (except for coupons
attached to any temporary global Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable
by delivery.

     At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series
(other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be
exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series and
tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of
the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with
Section 2.05 and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges
hereinafter provided. If the Securities of any series are issued in both
registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise established pursuant to
Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of
any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor
having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the
Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section
4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached,
all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining,
and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter
provided. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of
any series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date are issued in
more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise established pursuant
to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered
Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an
equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered
Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be
maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case
of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons
and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if
the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered
Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of
such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled
to receive.

     All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer,
exchange, redemption or payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by
a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.

                                      15

<PAGE>

     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 exchange
or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for
any such transaction.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.07, unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered
form, a Registered 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 any Registered Global Securities of any
series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Registered Global Securities or if at any time the
Depositary for such Registered Global Securities shall no longer be eligible
under applicable law, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible
under applicable law with respect to such Registered Global Securities. If a
successor Depositary eligible under applicable law for such Registered Global
Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will
execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company's order for the
authentication and delivery of definitive Registered Securities of such series
and tenor, will authenticate and make available for delivery Registered
Securities of such series and tenor, in any authorized denominations, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Registered
Global Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Securities.

     The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that any
Registered Global Securities of any series shall no longer be maintained in
global form. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of the Company's order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Registered Securities of such series and tenor, will authenticate
and make available for delivery, Registered Securities of such series and tenor
in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such Registered Global Securities, in exchange for such
Registered Global Securities.

     Any time the Registered Securities of any series are not in the form of
Registered Global Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the
Company agrees to supply the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certificated

                                      16

<PAGE>

Registered Securities without the legend required by Section 2.02 and the
Trustee agrees to hold such Registered Securities in safekeeping until
authenticated and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

     If established by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any
Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security
may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part
for Registered Securities of the same series and tenor in definitive registered
form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery, without service charge,

          (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary new Registered
     Securities of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations
     as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and
     in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Registered Global
     Security; and

          (ii) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a
     denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount
     of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal
     amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to
     clause (i) above.

     Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security
pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise,
shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee in
writing. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as
directed in writing by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered.

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

     Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Securities
to the contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company
or the Trustee shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a
Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax
consequences to the Company (such as, for example, the inability of the Company
to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the

                                      17

<PAGE>

interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United
States Federal income tax laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of
Counsel in determining such result.

     The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, authenticate, register
the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series for a period of 15 days
before a selection of such Securities to be redeemed or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in
part.

     SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities. If a defaced or mutilated Security
of any series is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its
Security of any series has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security
of such series and tenor and principal amount bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. An indemnity bond must be furnished that is
sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the
Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if
a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses and
the expenses of the Trustee (including without limitation attorneys' fees and
expenses) in replacing a Security. In case any such mutilated, defaced, lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing
a new Security in replacement thereof.

     Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.

     To the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions of this Section
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities.

     SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time
are all Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those
Securities canceled by it, those Securities delivered to it for cancellation,
those paid pursuant to Section 2.08 and those Securities described in this
Section as not outstanding.

     If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be
outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof
satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a holder in due
course.

                                      18

<PAGE>

     If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an affiliate of the
Company) holds on the maturity date or any redemption date or date for
repurchase of the Securities money sufficient to pay Securities payable or to
be redeemed or repurchased on such date, then on and after such date such
Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to
accrue.

     A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of
its affiliates holds such Security, provided, however, that, in determining
whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding
Securities shall have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any
affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding,
except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying
upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver, only Securities as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
received written notice to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Any Securities
so owned which are pledged by the Company, or by any affiliate of the Company,
as security for loans or other obligations, otherwise than to another such
affiliate of the Company, shall be deemed to be outstanding, if the pledgee is
entitled pursuant to the terms of its pledge agreement and is free to exercise
in its discretion the right to vote such securities, uncontrolled by the
Company or by any such affiliate.

     SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any
series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate temporary Securities of such series. Temporary Securities of any
series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities of such
series but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations
determined to be appropriate by the Officers executing the temporary
Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Securities. If
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of
such series and tenor upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office
or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02,
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 make available for delivery in exchange therefor
a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series and tenor and
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any
series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series.

                                      19

<PAGE>

     SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may 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 for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar, any
transfer agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel
all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and
shall deliver such canceled Securities to the Company. The Company may not
issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid in full or delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation.

     SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use
"CUSIP" and "CINS" numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall
use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption
or exchange as a convenience to Holders and no representation shall be made as
to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of redemption or exchange.

     SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of
interest on the Securities, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying
Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted
interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted
interest (as may be specified in the terms thereof, established pursuant to
Section 2.03) to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record
date, which shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the
Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a
Business Day. At least 15 days before such special record date, the Company
shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that states the special
record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

     SECTION 2.14. Series May Include Tranches. A series of Securities may
include one or more tranches (each a "tranche") of Securities, including
Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches
may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and public
offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have
identical terms, including authentication date and public offering price.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections
2.02 (other than the fourth paragraph thereof) through 2.04, 2.07, 2.08, 2.10,
3.01 through 3.05, 4.02, 6.01 through 6.14, 8.018.1 through 8.05 and 9.02, if
any series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such
sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally
applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as
though originally designated a series

                                      20

<PAGE>

unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or tranche pursuant to
Section 2.03. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next
preceding sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or
permit action to be taken with respect to a series of Securities shall also be
deemed to provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with
respect to Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and such
provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is
taken with respect to Securities in the remaining tranches of that series.

     SECTION 2.15. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 2.03 for Securities of any series, interest on the
Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                   REDEMPTION

     SECTION 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article
shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before
their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a
series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for
Securities of such series.

     SECTION 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of
redemption to the Holders of Registered Securities of any series to be redeemed
as a whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing
notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30
days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such
Holders of Registered Securities of such series at their last addresses as they
shall appear upon the Security Register of the Company. Notice of redemption to
the Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole
or in part, who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall be given by mailing
notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30
days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to such
Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case
of any such notice given by the Company, the Trustee shall make such
information available to the Company for such purpose). Notice of redemption to
all other Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a
whole or in part shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of
New York and in an Authorized Newspaper in London, in each case, once in each
of three successive calendar

                                      21

<PAGE>

weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed or published
in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by
mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity
of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

     The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal
amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the
CUSIP and CINS numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, the date fixed for
redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment
will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the
case of Securities with coupons attached thereto, of all coupons appertaining
thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that such redemption is
pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the
case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as
specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on
the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security
of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall
state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall
state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such
Security, a new Security or Securities of such series and tenor in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

     The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the
option 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.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date
specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the
Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if
the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in
trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on
the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption
at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date
fixed for redemption. If all of the outstanding Securities of a series are to
be redeemed, the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to
the last date on which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be
acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers' Certificate stating that all such
Securities are to be redeemed. If less than all the outstanding Securities of a
series are to be redeemed, the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 15
days prior to the last date on which notice of

                                      22

<PAGE>

redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this
Section 3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an
Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of such Securities
to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Company prior to
the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders
pursuant to this Section, an Officers' Certificate stating that such redemption
is not prohibited by such restriction.

     If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select, pro rata, by lot or in such manner as it shall deem
appropriate and fair, Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in
part. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any multiple thereof.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities of
such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such
series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.

     SECTION 3.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of
redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of
Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date
and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price,
together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and
after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to such
date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for
redemption shall cease to accrue, and the unmatured coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto shall be void and, except as provided in Sections 7.11 and
8.04, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption
to be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof
shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive
the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for
redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of
payment specified in said notice, together with all coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said
Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the
Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued
thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that payment of interest
becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable in
the case of Securities with coupons attached thereto, to the Holders of the
coupons for such interest upon

                                      23

<PAGE>

surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, to the Holders of
such Registered Securities registered as such on the relevant record date
subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.04 and 2.13 hereof.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the Principal shall, until paid or duly provided for,
bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or
Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by
such Security.

     If any Security with coupons attached thereto is surrendered for
redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the
date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may
be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them
such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless.

     Upon presentation of any Security of any series redeemed in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the
Company, a new Security or Securities of such series and tenor (with any
unmatured coupons attached), of authorized denominations, in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

     SECTION 3.04. Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for
Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for
selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate
number in a written statement signed by an Officer of the Company and delivered
to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not
pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically
identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company.

     SECTION 3.05. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of
any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the 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 the
Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment." The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein
referred to as the "sinking fund payment date."

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment
with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option
(a)

                                      24

<PAGE>

deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired (except through a mandatory sinking fund payment) by the
Company or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so
credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by
the Company and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.11, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so
credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities
of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any
optional sinking fund payment. Securities so delivered or credited shall be
received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price
specified in such Securities.

     On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund payment
date for any series, or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the
Trustee, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate (a)
specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by
payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of specified
Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none
of the specified Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited,
(c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default
with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured)
and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Company intends to
exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to
such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund
payment which the Company intends to pay on or before the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and
required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Company to be entitled
to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to
the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11 to the
Trustee with such Officers' Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if
acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers' Certificate shall be irrevocable and
upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally
obligated to make all the cash payments or delivery of Securities therein
referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such sixtieth day, to deliver
such Officer's Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any,
shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date,
the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund
payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit
Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company will
make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided
in this Section.

     If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to
be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any

                                      25

<PAGE>

unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed
$50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request with respect to the
Securities of any series), such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the
sinking fund redemption price thereof together with accrued interest thereon to
the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 (or such lesser
sum) or less and the Company makes no such request then it shall be carried
over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or such lesser sum) is available. The
Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 3.02, for redemption on
such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of
such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested
in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the serial numbers of the
Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities shall
be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are
identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment
date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or
hypothecated by either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified
in such Officers' Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. The
Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or the Company, if it
shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of
the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided
in Section 3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the
redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Company.
The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the
redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking
fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied
in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund
moneys held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular
series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for
the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be
applied, together with other moneys, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose,
to the payment of the Principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such
series at maturity.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each sinking fund payment
date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide
for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on
Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date.

     The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a
series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities
of such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a
Default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default
except that,

                                      26

<PAGE>

where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore
have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such
Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum
sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking
fund for such series at the time when any such Default or Event of Default
shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall,
during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have
been collected under Article 6 and held for the payment of all such Securities.
In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section
6.04 or the Default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking
fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the
next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to
the redemption of such Securities.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                                   COVENANTS

     SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the Principal
of and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in
the Securities and this Indenture. The interest on Securities with coupons
attached (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of
such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they
severally mature. The interest on any temporary Unregistered Securities
(together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such
Securities) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by
coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof,
and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation
of such Unregistered Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such
interest. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any additional
amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only
to the Holders thereof and at the option of the Company may be paid by mailing
checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of such Holders
at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register of the Company.

     Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture and the Securities of any
series to the contrary, if the Company and a Holder of any Registered Security
so agree or if expressly provided pursuant to Section 2.03, payments of
interest on, and any portion of the Principal of, such Holder's Registered
Security (other than interest payable at maturity or on any redemption or
repayment date or the final payment of Principal on such Security) shall be
made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt from the Company of immediately
available funds by 11:00 a.m., New

                                      27

<PAGE>

York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to between the Company and
the Paying Agent), directly to the Holder of such Security (by Federal funds
wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to
the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment
will be so made and designating the bank account to which such payments shall
be so made and in the case of payments of Principal surrenders the same to the
Trustee in exchange for a Security or Securities aggregating the same principal
amount as the unredeemed principal amount of the Securities surrendered. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the last instruction delivered by the
Holder pursuant to this Section 4.01 unless a new instruction is delivered 15
days prior to a payment date. The Company will indemnify and hold each of the
Trustee and any Paying Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense
(including attorneys' fees) resulting from any act or omission to act on the
part of the Company or any such Holder in connection with any such agreement or
from making any payment in accordance with any such agreement.

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue Principal, and interest on
overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum
specified in the Securities.

     SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where
Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for
presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company
in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company
hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as such office or agency of
the Company. 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 address of the
Trustee set forth in Section 10.02.

     The Company will maintain one or more agencies in a city or cities located
outside the United States (including any city in which such an agency is
required to be maintained under the rules of any stock exchange on which the
Securities of any series are listed) where the Unregistered Securities, if any,
of each series and coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for
payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or coupon will be made upon
presentation of such Unregistered Security or coupon at an agency of the
Company within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an
account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States unless, pursuant to
applicable United States laws and

                                      28

<PAGE>

regulations then in effect, such payment can be made without adverse tax
consequences to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full payment in
United States Dollars ("Dollars") at each agency maintained by the Company
outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities or
coupons appertaining thereto is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions, payments in Dollars of Unregistered
Securities of any series and coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in
Dollars may be made at an agency of the Company maintained in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York.

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

     SECTION 4.03. Negative Pledge. Neither the Company nor any successor
corporation will, or permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or
guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a pledge, lien or
other encumbrance (except for Permitted Liens, as hereinafter defined) on the
Voting Stock of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or any Subsidiary of
the Company which shall hereafter succeed by merger or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business of DLJSC ("DLJSC"), unless the Company shall
cause the Securities to be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the
Company's option, prior to) any indebtedness secured thereby. "Permitted Liens"
means liens for taxes or assessments or governmental charges or levies not then
due and delinquent or the validity of which is being contested in good faith or
which are less than $2,000,000 in amount, liens created by or resulting from
any litigation or legal proceeding which is currently being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings or which involves claims of less than
$2,000,000, deposits to secure (or in lieu of) surety, stay, appeal or customs
bonds and such other liens as the Board of Directors of the Company determines
do not materially detract from or interfere with the present value or control
of the Voting Stock subject thereto or affected thereby.

     SECTION 4.04. Certificate of Trustee. The Company will furnish to the
Trustee annually, on or before a date not more than four months after the end
of its fiscal year (which, on the date hereof, is a calendar year), a brief
certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 10.04)
from its

                                      29

<PAGE>

principal executive, financial or accounting officer as to his or her knowledge
of the compliance of the Company with all conditions and covenants under this
Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) which certificate
shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 4.05. Reports by the Company. The Company covenants to file with
the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with
the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents
and other reports which the Company may be required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such
reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes
only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice
of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of the covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).

     SECTION 4.06. Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall
file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year a written
notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates
and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding Securities as of the end of such
year.

                                   ARTICLE 5
                             SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

     SECTION 5.01. When Company May Merge, Etc. The Company shall not
consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets (as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) to, any Person (other than a consolidation with or merger
with or into a Subsidiary or a sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other
disposition to a Subsidiary) or permit any Person to merge with or into the
Company unless:

     (a) either (x) the Company shall be the continuing Person or (y) the
Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which
the Company is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets of
the Company shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the
laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof and shall
expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company on all of the Securities and
under this Indenture and the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such
supplemental

                                      30

<PAGE>

indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent
provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with and
that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company or such successor enforceable against such entity in
accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions; and

     (b) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate to the effect that immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and an Opinion of
Counsel as to the matters set forth in Section 5.1(a).

     SECTION 5.02. Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or
any sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company in accordance with
Section 5.1 of this Indenture, the successor Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such sale,
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and
be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company
under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been
named as the Company herein.

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An "Event of Default" shall occur with
respect to the Securities of any series if:

     (a) the Company defaults in the payment of all or any part of the
Principal of any Security of such series when the same becomes due and payable
at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or mandatory repurchase, including
as a sinking fund installment, or otherwise;

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

     (c) the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other
covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture with respect to any
Security of such series or in the Securities of such series and such default or
breach continues for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof has been
given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all
series affected thereby;

                                      31

<PAGE>

     (d) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the
Company or DLJSC with respect to the Company or DLJSC or their respective debts
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or
other similar official of the Company or DLJSC or for any substantial part of
the property and assets of the Company or DLJSC, and such involuntary case or
other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days;
or an order for relief shall be entered against the Company or DLJSC under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect;

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

     (f) an event of default, as defined in any one or more indentures or
instruments evidencing or under which the Company has at the date of this
Indenture or shall hereafter have outstanding an aggregate of at least
$25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money,
shall happen and be continuing and such indebtedness shall have been
accelerated so that the same shall be or become due and payable prior to the
date on which the same would otherwise have become due and payable, and such
acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled within ten days after notice
thereof shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee (if such event be
known to it), or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding;
provided that if such event of default under such indentures or instruments
shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the holders of such
indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be
deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or waived without
further action upon the part of either the Trustee or any of the
Securityholders, and provided further, however, that the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of any such default unless written notice thereof shall
have been given to the Trustee by the Company, by the holder or an agent of the
holder of any such indebtedness, by the trustee then acting under any indenture
or other instrument under which such default shall have occurred, or by the
Holders of not less than 25% in the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding;

                                      32

<PAGE>

     (g) failure by the Company to make any payment at maturity, including any
applicable grace period, in respect of at least $25,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of indebtedness for borrowed money and such failure shall have continued
for a period of ten days after notice thereof shall have been given to the
Company by the Trustee (if such event be known to a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding; provided
that if such failure shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the
holders of such indebtedness, then the Event of Default under this Indenture by
reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured
or waived without further action upon the part of either the Trustee or any of
the Securityholders; or

     (h) any other Event of Default established pursuant to Section 2.03 with
respect to the Securities of such series occurs.

     SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default described in
Section 6.01(a) or (b) with respect to the Securities of any series then
outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case,
except for any series of Securities the Principal of which 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 any such affected series
then outstanding hereunder (each such series treated as a separate class) by
notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Securityholders), may declare the entire principal amount (or, if the
Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series
established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all Securities of such affected
series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately
due and payable.

     (b) If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(c) or (h) with
respect to the Securities of one or more but not all series then outstanding,
occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any
series of Securities the Principal of which shall have already become due and
payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount (or, if the Securities of any such series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, the amount thereof accelerable under this Section) of the
Securities of all such affected series then outstanding hereunder (treated as a
single class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal amount (or, if the
Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series
established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all

                                      33

<PAGE>

Securities of all such affected series, and the interest accrued thereon, if
any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same
shall become immediately due and payable.

     (c) If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(d) or (e) occurs and
is continuing, then the principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal as may be specified in
the terms thereof established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all the Securities
then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be and become
immediately due and payable, without any notice or other action by any Holder
or the Trustee, to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

     (d) If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(f) or (g) or in
Section 6.01(c) or (h) with respect to the Securities of all series then
outstanding, occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case,
either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount (or, if the Securities of any outstanding series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, the amount thereof accelerable under this Section) of all
Securities of any series then outstanding hereunder except for any series of
Securities the Principal of which shall have already become due and payable
(treated as a single class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal amount
(or, if the Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of such series established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all Securities of
any series then outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be
due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become immediately due and payable.

     The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if,
at any time after the principal amount (or, if the Securities are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal as may be specified in
the terms thereof established pursuant to Section 2.03) of the Securities of
any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so
declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of
the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of each such series
(or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the Principal of any and all
Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be)
which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon
such Principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable
under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as
the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of each such series

                                      34

<PAGE>

to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient
to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 7.07, and if any and all
Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the
Principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have
been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every
such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the
then outstanding Securities of all such series that have been accelerated
(voting as a single class), by written notice to the Company and to the
Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to all such series (or with
respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and
annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall
impair any right consequent thereon.

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

     SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If a payment default or an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any
available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of
Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this
Indenture.

     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of
the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

     SECTION 6.04. Waiver of past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and
9.02, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount (or, if the
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
Principal as is then accelerable under Section 6.02) of the outstanding
Securities of all series affected (voting as a single class), by notice to the
Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment
of Principal of or interest on any Security as specified in Section 6.01(a) or
(b) or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be
modified or amended without the

                                      35

<PAGE>

consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. Upon any such
waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of such series 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 Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

     SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02(e),
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount (or, if any
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
Principal as is then accelerable under Section 6.02) of the outstanding
Securities of all series affected (voting as a single class) may direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series by this Indenture; provided, that the
Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or that the
Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; and provided further, that
the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent
with any directions received from Holders of Securities pursuant to this
Section 6.05.

     SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series
may institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture or the Securities of such series, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

     (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Securities of all such series affected 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;

     (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or
expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

                                      36

<PAGE>

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

     A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another
Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder.

     SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holder to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to
receive payment of Principal of or interest, if any, on such Holder's Security
on or after the respective due dates expressed on such Security, or to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of any series in payment of Principal or interest
specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the
Company for the whole amount (or such portion thereof as specified in the terms
established pursuant to Section 2.3 of Original Issue Discount Securities) of
Principal of, and accrued interest remaining unpaid on, together with interest
on overdue Principal of, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is
lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest on, the Securities of such
series, in each case at the rate or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original
Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, and such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under
Section 7.07.

     SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities),
its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect
and receive any moneys, securities or other property payable or deliverable
upon conversion or exchange of the Securities or upon 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 to it
under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the
Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder,
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the Securities or the rights of

                                      37

<PAGE>

any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any Holder in any such proceeding.

     SECTION 6.10. Application of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article in respect of the Securities of any series shall be
applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and,
in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of Principal or interest,
upon presentation of the several Securities and coupons appertaining to such
Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected and noting thereon
the payment, or issuing Securities of such series and tenor in reduced
principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of such series and
tenor if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

          FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section
     7.07 applicable to the Securities of such series in respect of which
     moneys have been collected;

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

          THIRD: In case the Principal of the Securities of such series in
     respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be
     then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and
     unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for Principal and interest,
     with interest upon the overdue Principal, and (to the extent that such
     interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
     interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in
     the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the
     Securities of such series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient
     to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of
     such series, then to the payment of such Principal and interest or Yield
     to Maturity, without preference or priority of Principal over interest or
     Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over Principal, or
     of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or
     of any Security of such series over any other

                                      38

<PAGE>

     Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such Principal and
     accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

          FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or
     any other person lawfully entitled thereto.

     SECTION 6.11. 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 to their former
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company,
Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

     SECTION 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, in either case in respect to the
Securities of any series, a court may require any party litigant in such suit
(other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by a Holder
pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of such series.

     SECTION 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
wrongfully taken Securities in Section 2.08, 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 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default 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 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised

                                      39

<PAGE>

from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by
the Holders, as the case may be.

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                    TRUSTEE

     SECTION 7.01. General. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee
shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein.
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, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense. 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 Article 7. The Trustee, prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge and after the curing of all Events of Default which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this indenture against the Trustee. If an Event
of Default to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Supplement and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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

     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any Officers' Certificate, Opinion of
Counsel (or both), 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 person or persons.
The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but
the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit;

     (b) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officers' Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to

                                      40

<PAGE>

Section 10.4. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. Subject to
Sections 7.01 and 7.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this
Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be
proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any
action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in
the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be
full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof;

     (c) the Trustee may act through its attorneys, agents, custodian and
nominee not regularly in its employ and shall not be responsible for the
misconduct or negligence of any agent, attorney, custodian and nominee
appointed with due care;

     (d) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any
Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by
the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company;

     (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, order or direction of
any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request, order
or direction;

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

     (g) 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 to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; and

                                      41

<PAGE>

     (h) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, Officers' Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, Board Resolution,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or
document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected
then outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of this Indenture, the Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it against
such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding.

     (i) if the Trustee is acting as Paying Agent or Transfer Agent and
Registrar herein the nights and protections afforded the Trustee under this
Article 7 shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Transfer Agent and
Registrar.

     SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may
otherwise deal with the Company or its affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311.
For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6), the following
terms shall mean:

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

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

                                      42

<PAGE>

     SECTION 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in
the Securities (except the Trustee's certificate of authentication) shall be
taken as statements of the Company and not of the Trustee and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. Neither the Trustee
nor any of its agents (i) makes any representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities and (ii) shall be accountable for
the Company's use or application of the proceeds from the Securities.

     SECTION 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default with respect to the
Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and if such Default is known
to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer with the corporate trust
department of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder of Securities
of such series notice of such Default within 90 days after it occurs (i) if any
Unregistered Securities of such series are then outstanding, to the Holders
thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper
in London and (ii) to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner
and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless
such Default shall have been cured or waived before the mailing or publication
of such notice; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the
payment of the Principal of or interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be
fully protected in withholding such notice if the Trustee in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Holders.

     SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each
September 15, beginning with September 15, 1998, the Trustee shall mail to each
Holder as and to the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c) a
brief report dated as of such September 15, if required by Trust Indenture Act
Section 313(a).

     SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the
Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing from time to time
for its services. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any
law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee. Such expenses shall
include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee's agents,
counsel and other persons not regularly in its employ.

     The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and its Officers, directors,
employees and Agents for, and hold it and them harmless against, any and all
loss, damage, claim or liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses)

                                      43

<PAGE>

including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred
by it or them without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the
Securities or the issuance of the Securities or a series thereof or the trusts
hereunder and the performance of its duties under this Indenture and the
Securities, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or
investigating any claim or liability and of complying with any process served
upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance
of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Securities.

     To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or
property held in trust to pay Principal of, and interest on particular
Securities.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and
indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances
shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the rejection or termination of
this Indenture under bankruptcy law or the earlier registration or removal of
the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of
the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as
such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular
Securities or coupons, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such
senior claim. If the Trustee renders services and incurs expenses following an
Event of Default under Section 6.01(d) or Section 6.01(e) hereof, the parties
hereto and the Holders by their acceptance of the Securities hereby agree that
such expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
bankruptcy law.

     SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the
Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and appointment
of a successor Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

     The Trustee may resign as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may
remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by
so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with
respect thereto with the consent of the Company. The Company may remove the
Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series if: (i) the
Trustee is no

                                      44

<PAGE>

longer eligible under Section 7.10 of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee is
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer
takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes
incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns or is removed as Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series for any reason, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto. Within one year
after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may appoint a
successor Trustee in respect of such Securities to replace the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company. If the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series does not deliver its written acceptance required by
the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08 within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect thereto.

     A successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Company. Immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject
to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, and subject to the payment of any and
all amounts then due and owing to the retiring Trustee (i) the retiring Trustee
shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee in respect of the Securities
of such series to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee in respect of the Securities of such series shall become
effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the Trustee in respect of the Securities of such series under this
Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each
Holder of Securities of such series.

     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 the
preceding paragraph.

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

                                      45

<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under
Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

     SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking
association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national
banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with
the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee
herein; provided that such successor Trustee shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article 7.

     SECTION 7.10. Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who
satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a). The Trustee
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth
in its most recent published annual report of condition.

     SECTION 7.11. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for
interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing
with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held
in trust under Article 8 of this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                             DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     SECTION 8.01. Defeasance Within One Year of Payment. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 8.01, the Company may terminate its obligations under
the Securities of any series and this Indenture with respect to Securities of
such series if:

     (a) all Securities of such series previously authenticated and delivered
(other than destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities of such series that
have been replaced or Securities of such series that are paid pursuant to
Section 4.01 or Securities of such series for whose payment money or securities
have theretofore been held in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, as
provided in Section 8.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
and the Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder; or

     (b) (i) the Securities of such series mature within one year or all of
them are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to

                                      46

<PAGE>

the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption, (ii) the Company irrevocably
deposits in trust with the Trustee, as trust funds solely for the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities for that purpose, money or U.S. Government
Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient (unless such funds consist
solely of money, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
the Trustee), without consideration of any reinvestment, to pay the Principal
of and interest on the Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as
the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder, and (iii)
the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein
relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to
the Securities of such series have been complied with.

     With respect to the foregoing clause (a), only the Company's obligations
under Section 7.07 in respect of the Securities of such series shall survive.
With respect to the foregoing clause (b), only the Company's obligations in
Sections 2.02 through 2.12, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08 and 8.05 in respect of the
Securities of such series shall survive until such Securities of such series
are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company's obligations in
Sections 7.07 and 8.05 in respect of the Securities of such series shall
survive. After any such irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon written request
shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's obligations under
the Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of such series except for those surviving obligations specified above.

     SECTION 8.02. Defeasance. Except as provided below, the Company will be
deemed to have paid and will be discharged from any and all obligations in
respect of the Securities of any series and the provisions of this Indenture
will no longer be in effect with respect to the Securities of such series (and
the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same); provided that the following conditions shall have been
satisfied:

     (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee as
trust funds solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such
series, for payment of the Principal of and interest on the Securities of such
series, money or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof
sufficient (unless such funds consist solely of money, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) without consideration
of any reinvestment and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or

redemption (irrevocably provided for under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee), as the case may be;

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

     (c) no Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

     (d) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) either (x) a
ruling directed to the Trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to
the effect that the Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the
Company's exercise of its option under this Section 8.02 and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not
occurred or (y) an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect as the ruling
described in clause (x) above and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the Holders of the Securities of such series have a valid security interest in
the trust funds subject to no prior liens under the UCC; and

     (e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent
provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section
8.02 of the Securities of such series have been complied with.

     The Company's obligations in Sections 2.02 through 2.12, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08
and 8.05 with respect to the Securities of such series shall survive until such
Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company's
obligations in Sections 7.07 and 8.05 shall survive.

     SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. The Company may omit to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in Section 4.03 (or any other specific
covenant relating to such series provided for in a Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 2.03 which may by its terms be
defeased pursuant to this Section 8.03), and such omission shall be deemed not
to be an Event of Default under Section 6.01(c) or (h), with respect to the
outstanding Securities of a series if:

     (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee as
trust funds solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such
series, for payment of the Principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities
of such series,

                                      48

<PAGE>

money or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount
sufficient (unless such funds consist solely of money, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) without consideration
of any reinvestment and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or
other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, to pay
and discharge the Principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of
such series to maturity or earlier redemption (irrevocably provided for under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee), as the case may be;

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

     (c) no Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

     (d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that (i) the Holders of the Securities of such series have a valid
security interest in the trust funds subject to no prior liens under the UCC
and (ii) such Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and
will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and
defeasance had not occurred; and

     (e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent
provided for herein relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this
Section 8.03 of the Securities of such series have been complied with.

     SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.05, the
Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the
case may be, in respect of the Securities of any series and shall apply the
deposited money and the proceeds from deposited U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with the Securities of such series and this Indenture to the payment
of Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series; but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03 or the principal or 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.

                                      49

<PAGE>

     SECTION 8.05. Repayment to Company. Subject to Sections 7.07, 8.01, 8.02
and 8.03, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company
upon request set forth in an Officers' Certificate any money held by them at
any time and not required to make payments hereunder and thereupon shall be
relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the
Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by
them and required to make payments hereunder under this Indenture that remains
unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent before
being required to make any payment may cause to be published at the expense of
the Company once in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and once in
an Authorized Newspaper in London or mail to each Holder entitled to such money
at such Holder's address (as set forth in the Security Register) notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which
shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates
another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.

                                   ARTICLE 9
                      AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

     SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of any series without
notice to or the consent of any Holder:

     (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture;
provided that such amendments or supplements shall not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Holders;

     (b) to comply with Article 5;

     (c) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with
the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

     (d) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder
with respect to the Securities of any or all series by a successor Trustee;

     (e) to establish the form or forms or terms of Securities of any series or
of the coupons appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Section 2.03;

                                      50

<PAGE>

     (f) to provide for uncertificated or Unregistered Securities and to make
all appropriate changes for such purpose; or

     (g) to make any change that does not materially and adversely affect the
rights of any Holder.

     SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07,
without prior notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend this
Indenture and the Securities of any series with the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all
series affected by such amendment (all such series voting as one class), and
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
all series affected thereby (all such series voting as one class) by written
notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any
provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.02, without the consent
of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver
pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

     (a) extend the stated maturity of the Principal of, or any sinking fund
obligation or any installment of interest on, such Holder's Security, or reduce
the Principal thereof or the rate of interest thereon (including any amount in
respect of original issue discount), or any premium payable with respect
thereto, or adversely affect the rights of such Holder under any mandatory
redemption or repurchase provision or any right of redemption or repurchase at
the option of such Holder, or reduce the amount of the Principal of an Original
Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of
the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02 or the amount thereof provable in
bankruptcy, or change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any
Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the due
date therefor;

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

     (c) waive a Default in the payment of Principal of or interest on any
Security of such Holder; or

                                      51

<PAGE>

     (d) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.02, 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.

     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 Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or
provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the
Holders of Securities of any other series or of the coupons appertaining to
such Securities.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Holder under this Section
9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or
waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes
effective, the Company shall give to the Holders affected thereby a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will mail
supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to
mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

     SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or
waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent
by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the Security of the consenting Holder,
even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or
portion of its Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee
receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become
effective with respect to any Securities affected thereby on receipt by the
Trustee of written consents from the requisite Holders of outstanding
Securities affected thereby.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which
may be not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the solicitation of
consents) for the purpose of determining the Holders of the Securities of any
series affected entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If
a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the immediately preceding
paragraph, those Persons who were such Holders at such record date (or their
duly designated proxies) and only those Persons shall be entitled to consent to
such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given,
whether or not

                                      52

<PAGE>

such Persons continue to be such Holders after such record date. No such
consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record
date.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to
the Securities of any series affected thereby, it shall bind every Holder of
such Securities unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a)
through (d) of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type
described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver
shall bind each such Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder
of a Security that evidences the same indebtedness as the Security of the
consenting Holder.

     SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment,
supplement or waiver changes the terms of any Security, the Trustee may require
the Holder thereof to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an
appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to
the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security of
such series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company or the
Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and
the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of the same series and tenor that
reflects the changed terms.

     SECTION 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture, stating that all requisite consents have been obtained or that no
consents are required and stating that such supplemental indenture constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. Subject
to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or
waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment,
supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     SECTION 9.06. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article 9 shall conform to the requirements
of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 10.01. Trust Indenture Act of 1939. This Indenture shall
incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that
are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

     SECTION 10.02. Notices. Any notice or communication shall be sufficiently
given if written and (a) if delivered in person, when received or (b) if mailed
by first class mail, 5 days after mailing, or (c) as between the Company and
the Trustee if sent by facsimile transmission, when transmission is confirmed,
in each case addressed as follows:

              if to the Company:

              Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc.
              277 Park Avenue
              New York, New York  10172
              Telecopy:  (212) 504-4991
              Attention:  General Counsel

              if to the Trustee:

              The Chase Manhattan Bank
              450 West 33rd Street
              15th Floor
              New York, New York 10001
              Attention: Global Trust Services
              Facsimile No.: (212) 946-8161
              Attention: Corporate Trust Trustee Administration

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

     Any notice or communication shall be sufficiently given to Holders of any
Unregistered Securities by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper
in The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London,
and by mailing to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act at
such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and to Holders of Registered
Securities by mailing to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear
on the Security Register. Notice mailed shall be sufficiently given if so

                                      54

<PAGE>

mailed within the time prescribed. Copies of any such communication or notice
to a Holder shall also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same
time.

     Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it
shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except as
otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a notice or communication is mailed in
the manner provided in this Section 10.02, it is duly given, whether or not the
addressee receives it.

     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 it shall be impracticable to give notice as herein contemplated,
then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

     SECTION 10.03. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon
any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action
under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

     (a) an Officers' Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers,
all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to
the proposed action have been complied with; and

     (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel,
all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

     SECTION 10.04. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each
certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture shall include:

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

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

                                      55

<PAGE>

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

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

     SECTION 10.05. Evidence of Ownership. The Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Holder of any
Unregistered Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of
such Unregistered Security or coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security
or coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on
account thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company, the
Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary. The fact of the holding by any Holder of an
Unregistered Security, and the identifying number of such Security and the date
of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by
a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized
securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such
certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security
bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such
trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named
in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or
more Unregistered Securities specified therein. The holding by the person named
in any such certificate of any Unregistered Securities specified therein shall
be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such
certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (a) another
certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall
be produced or (b) the Security specified in such certificate shall be produced
by some other Person, or (c) the Security specified in such certificate shall
have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Article 7, the fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities held
by the Person so executing such instrument may also be proven in accordance
with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee
or in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient.

     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
deem and treat the person in whose name any Registered Security shall be
registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of
such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be
overdue and

                                      56

<PAGE>

notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the Principal of and, subject
to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Registered Security and
for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 10.06. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee
may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Paying
Agent or Registrar may make reasonable rules for its functions.

     SECTION 10.07. Payment Date Other than a Business Day. If any date for
payment of Principal or interest on any Security shall not be a Business Day at
any place of payment, then payment of Principal of or interest on such
Security, as the case may be, need not be made on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day at any place of payment with the same force
and effect as if made on such date and no interest shall accrue in respect of
such payment for the period from and after such date.

     SECTION 10.08. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York (without
regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof) shall govern this Indenture and
the Securities.

     SECTION 10.09. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This
Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan or debt
agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Any such indenture
or agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

     SECTION 10.10. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture
and the Securities shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors.

     SECTION 10.11. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of
copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of
them together represent the same agreement.

     SECTION 10.12. Separability. 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 10.13. Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents and
headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for

                                      57

<PAGE>

convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall
in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and provisions hereof.

     SECTION 10.14. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of
Company Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or any indenture
supplemental hereto, or in any Security or any coupons appertaining thereto, or
because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any
incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder,
officer, director or employee, as such, of the Company or of any successor,
either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law,
statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or
by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being
expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities and the
coupons appertaining thereto by the holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities and the coupons appertaining
thereto.

     SECTION 10.15. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest
extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the
purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum
due in respect of the Principal of or interest on the Securities of any series
(the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered
(the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which
in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on
which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a Business
Day in The City of New York, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the
Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day in The City of
New York preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and
(b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required
Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any
recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with
subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to
the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by
the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable
in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required
Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of
the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii)
shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under
this Indenture.
