         SECTION 104 Acts of Holders.

         (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as
the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly
appointed in writing. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer
Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and
evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor
thereof, whether in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any
meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in
accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such
instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record
or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting
at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in
the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of
Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.

         (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgements of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

         (d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production
of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any
trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at
the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or
exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer
Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any
Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a
later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2)
such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3)
such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or
(4) such Bearer Security is no

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any
other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

         (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered
Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.
Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date
specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not
earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation
is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding
Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that
purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date;
provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such
record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the
record date.

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

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

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

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

            (2) The Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient
        for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
        if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company
        addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the
        first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously
        furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

                                      -12-

         SECTION 106 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

         Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of
Registered Securities by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency
of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any
notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively
deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually
receives such notice.

         If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail
service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such
notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as
shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified
with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City
of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such
Securities, and if the Securities of such series are listed on any stock
exchange outside the United States, in any place at which such Securities are
listed on a securities exchange to the extent that such securities exchange so
requires, on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest
date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such
publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such
publication.

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

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

         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

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 107 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

         SECTION 108 Successors and Assigns.

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

         SECTION 109 Severability Clause.

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

         SECTION 110 Benefits of Indenture.

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

         SECTION 111 No Personal Liability.

         No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
contained in this Indenture, in any Security or coupon appertaining thereto, or
because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any
promoter, as such or, against any past, present or future shareholder, officer
or director, 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 by the Holders thereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

         SECTION 112 Governing Law.

         This Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. This Indenture is

         SECTION 201 Forms of Securities.

         The Registered Securities, if any, of each series and the Bearer
Securities, if any, and related coupons of each series, shall be in
substantially the forms as shall be established in or pursuant to one or more
indentures supplemental hereto or Board Resolutions, shall have such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have
such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and
as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the
Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

         Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer
Securities shall have interest coupons attached.

         The definitive Securities and coupons shall be printed, lithographed or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved
border or steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as

         SECTION 203 Securities Issuable in Global Form.

         If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as
specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of
Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent
such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein
and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented thereby
may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any
endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase
or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall
be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person
or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304. Subject to the provisions of
Section 303 and 304, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon
instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has
been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with
respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form
shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

         The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any
Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never
issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the
Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence
of Section 303.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any
premium or Make-Whole Amount and interest on any Security in permanent global
form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of
Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security (i) in the
case of a permanent global Security in registered form, the Holder of such
permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent
global Security in bearer form, Euroclear.

         If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by

         SECTION 303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

         The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed
on behalf of the Company by its President or a Vice President, under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities and coupons
may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such
authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Securities.

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

         At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with
any coupon appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that,
in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided further
that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301 a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with
its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer
Security shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear in the form set forth
in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified
with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no
earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which such Bearer
Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary Security first becomes
exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such
temporary Security and this Indenture. Except as permitted by Section 306, the
Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all
appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.

         If all of the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time
and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series
shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the
Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of
particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate or formula, maturity
date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be
fully protected in relying upon:

            (i) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 102 and stating
        that:

                (a) the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have
            been, or will have been upon compliance with such procedures as may
            be specified therein, established in conformity with the provisions
            of this Indenture;

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

                (b) the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been, or
            will have been upon compliance with such procedures as may be
            specified therein, established in conformity with the provisions of
            this Indenture; and

                (c) such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining
            thereto, when completed pursuant to such procedures as may be
            specified therein, and executed and delivered by the Company to the
            Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture,
            authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this
            Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
            conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute
            legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in
            accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
            insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general
            applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors'
            rights generally and to general equitable principles and to such
            other matters as may be specified therein; and

            (ii) an Officers' Certificate complying with Section 102 and stating
        that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to
        the issuance of such Securities have been, or will have been upon
        compliance with such procedures as may be specified therein, complied
        with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such
        certificate, no Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall
        have occurred and be continuing.

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

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time,
it shall not be necessary to deliver a Company Order, an Opinion of Counsel or
an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph
at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion
and certificate, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances,
shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of
such series.

         Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication
and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated
by Section 301.

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

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been
issued or sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security
shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and
shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

         SECTION 304 Temporary Securities.

         (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination;
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or
more coupons or without coupons; and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such
Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities
may be in global form.

         Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall
be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or
pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of any series are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a
Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series
(accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further
that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary
Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such series.

         (b) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 301, this
Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in
global form other than through the facilities of DTC. If any such temporary
Security is issued in global form, then such temporary global Security shall,
unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a
depositary or common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for the benefit of
Euroclear.

         Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global
Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after
the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the
Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be
exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities
without charge, and the Trustee shall

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global
Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of or
within the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the
portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The definitive
Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security
shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or
permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as
requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by
the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a
certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear
as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to
be exchanged each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in
such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301; and provided
further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a
portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements
of Section 303.

         Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the
interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global
Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of
like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs
Euroclear to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear a
certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such
other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than
15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be
available from the offices of Euroclear, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent
appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise
specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made
free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security,
except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of
insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes
delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear.
Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion
of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United
States.

         Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global
Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring
prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear on such
Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear to the Trustee of a certificate
or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in
such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit
without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the
respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary
global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to
Euroclear a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest
Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as
Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established
pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
contained, the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the
certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section
304(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of this Indenture and

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary
global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be
exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the
Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the
Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as
otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing
with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary global Security will be
made unless and until such interest in such temporary global Security shall have
been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so
received by Euroclear and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the
Trustee prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in
order to be repaid to the Company.

         SECTION 305 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

         The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a
register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office
or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being
herein sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of
Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any
other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable
time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Company Office, is hereby initially
appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered
Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as
herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security
Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all
reasonable times.

         Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and
containing identical terms and provisions.

         Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the
Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical
terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified with
respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer
Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

         If (but only if) permitted as contemplated by Section 301, at the
option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for
Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of
a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all
unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If
the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon
or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange
may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing
coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be
waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying
Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any
Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall
have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such
payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002,
interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United
States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series
is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a
Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment
Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable
only as provided in this paragraph. If the depositary for any permanent global
Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of such global Security expressly permit
such global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive
Securities, a global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only
to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for
such global Security selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such
successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as depositary for the applicable global Security or
Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company
shall appoint a successor depositary with respect to such global Security or
Securities. If (x) a successor depositary for such global Security or Securities
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y)
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners
representing a majority in principal amount of the applicable series of
Securities represented by such global Security or Securities advise DTC to cease
acting as depositary for such global Security or Securities or (z) the Company,
in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding Securities
(but not less than all) of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or
more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

Securities (provided, however, the Company may not make such determination
during the 40-day restricted period provided by Regulation S under the
Securities Act or during any other similar period during which the Securities
must be held in global form as may be required by the Securities Act), then the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive
Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security
or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global
Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such
series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and
denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any
applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall have been
given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the
earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial
owner's interest in such permanent global Security. On or after the earliest
date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security
shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as shall be
specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the
Company's agent for such purpose; provided, however, that no such exchanges may
occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption
Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected
for redemption; and provided further that no Bearer Security delivered in
exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a Registered
Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security
after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs
on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office
or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date
and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed
date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the
case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date
for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but
will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as
the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion
of such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture.

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

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

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107
or 1305 not involving any transfer.

         The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be
among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section
1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities are issuable
only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day
of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such
Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no
publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered Security
to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to
exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a
Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and
like tenor; provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of
the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

         SECTION 306 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

         If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon
appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with,
in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or
the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing
identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to
the surrendered Security.

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

         Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any,
appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such
Security or coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any), any interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section
1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on
Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
coupons appertaining thereto.

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

         Every new Security of any series with its coupons, if any, issued
pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or
in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its
coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that
series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

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

         SECTION 307 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

         Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Registered
Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the
Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however,
that each installment of interest on any Registered Security may at the
Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or
upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308,
to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii)
transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.

         Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of
a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located outside the United States.

         Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every
permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any
Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC and/or Euroclear with respect to that
portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or
the Common Depositary, as the case may be, for the purpose of

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such
permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

         In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for
a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office
or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the
coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in
exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of
such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

         Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered
Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest")
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

            (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
        to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series
        (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
        of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
        Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company
        shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
        proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the
        date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after
        such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the
        Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the
        currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
        currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
        otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such
        series) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
        such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
        Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed
        payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit
        of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
        provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the
        payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days
        and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and
        not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of
        the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of
        such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
        Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
        Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class
        postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series
        at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10
        days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its
        discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a
        similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper
        in each place of payment, but such publications shall not be a condition
        precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of
        the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
        Date therefore

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

        having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
        to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series
        (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
        of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
        pursuant to the following clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any
        series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for
        such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after
        the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record
        Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
        related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer
        Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such
        proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on
        such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security
        issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to
        the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of
        this Indenture.

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

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

         SECTION 308 Persons Deemed Owners.

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

         Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon
as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving
payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

         None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on

                                      -31-

account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.

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

         SECTION 309 Cancellation.

         All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption,
repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and
coupons and Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any
such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so
acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be
destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such
destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their
return to it.

         SECTION 310 Computation of Interest.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months.

premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and any interest and Additional Amounts
for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee,
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent

         SECTION 502 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

         If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such
portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of, and the
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, all the Securities of that series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or
specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable.

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

            (1) The Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
        sufficient to pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency
        in which the Securities of such series is payable (except as otherwise
        specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):

                (A) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional
            Amounts payable in respect of all Outstanding Securities of that
            series and any related coupons;

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

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

         The Company covenants that if:

            (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or
        Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any series and any
        related coupon when such interest or Additional Amount becomes due and
        payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

            (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium
        or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Security of any series at its
        Maturity,

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

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

         If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series
and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any
such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to
enforce any other proper remedy.

         SECTION 504 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or
other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to
the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.

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

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

         All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the
Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation,

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 506 Application of Money Collected.

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

            FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any
        predecessor Trustee under Section 606,

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

            THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

         SECTION 507 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 508 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal,
Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, Interest and Additional Amounts.

         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional
to receive payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional
Amounts in respect of, such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective
due dates expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption,
on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

         SECTION 509 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

         SECTION 510 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

         SECTION 511 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

         SECTION 512 Control by Holders of Securities.

         The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series, provided that

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

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

            (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in
        personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities
        of such series not joining therein (but the Trustee shall have no
        obligation as to the determination of such undue prejudice).

         SECTION 513 Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

            (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole
        Amount, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect
        of any Security of such series or any related coupons, or

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

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

         SECTION 514 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

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

         SECTION 515 Undertaking for Costs.

         All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions
of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
(or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts
payable with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date).

                                  ARTICLE SIX

                                   THE TRUSTEE

         SECTION 601 Notice of Defaults.

         Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the
manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment
of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or
any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of such series, or in the
payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such
series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long
as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities
and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any default
or breach of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to the
Securities and coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of such series.

         SECTION 602 Certain Rights of Trustee.

         Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d):

        undertaken by it to perform under this Indenture;

            (2) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
        refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
        instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order,
        bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or

                                      -42-
<PAGE>

        document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
        presented by the proper party or parties;

            (3) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall
        be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other
        than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining
        thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to
        Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein)
        and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently
        evidenced by a Board Resolution;

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

            (5) the Trustee may consult with counsel and as a condition to the
        taking, suffering or omission of any action hereunder may demand an
        Opinion of Counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
        Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
        respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
        faith and in reliance thereon;

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

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

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

            (9) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
        or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be
        authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
        it by this Indenture.

The Trustee shall not be required 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

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

         SECTION 603 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

         The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
Trustee's certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as
the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating
Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities
and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

         SECTION 604 May Hold Securities.

         The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent
or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA
Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar,
Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

         SECTION 605 Money Held in Trust.

         Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on, or investment of, any money received by it
hereunder.

         SECTION 606 Compensation and Reimbursement.

         The Company agrees:

            (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation
        for all services rendered by it hereunder, including extraordinary
        services rendered in connection with or during the continuation of a
        default hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any
        provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
        express trust);

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

            (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
        for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense,
        arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
        the trust or trusts or the performance of its duties

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

        hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
        any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
        any of its powers or duties hereunder except to the extent any such
        loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its own negligence or
        bad faith.

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this
Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property
and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust
for the payment of principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest on particular Securities or any coupons.

         The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Indenture.

         SECTION 607 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting
Interests.

         There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible
to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital
and surplus of at least $25,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal,
State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article.

         SECTION 608 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

         (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 609.

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

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

         (d) If at any time:

                (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA
            Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by
            any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
            Security for at least six months, or

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

                (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and
            shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company
            or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
            Security for at least six months, or

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 609 Acceptance of Appointment By Successor.

         (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of
the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment
of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its
claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.

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

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

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

         SECTION 610 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business.

         Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities or
coupons shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
or coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or
coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such
successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in
either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and
effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of
the Trustee.

         SECTION 611 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

         At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee
may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series
of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption or repayment thereof, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall
be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to
include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to
Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation
organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus
of not less than $25,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section.

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

                                      -48-
<PAGE>

         An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time
resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series
and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such

Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of or within the series

appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

         The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses
for its services under this Section.

         If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant

addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an
alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:

         SECTION 801 Consolidations and Mergers of Company and Sales, Leases and
Conveyances Permitted Subject to Certain Conditions.

         The Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into any other Person,
provided that in any such case, (i) either the Company shall be the continuing
entity, or the successor (if other than the Company) entity shall be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a State thereof
and such successor entity shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of
the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and any interest
(including all Additional Amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 1011) on
all of the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed by the Company by supplemental indenture, complying
with Article Nine hereof, satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to
the Trustee by such Person and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the
Company or any Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the
Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default,
and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an
Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

         SECTION 802 Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation.

         In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance
and upon any such assumption by the successor entity, such successor entity
shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if
it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor
entity, except in the event of a lease, shall be relieved of any further
obligation under this Indenture and the Securities. Such successor entity
thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the
name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor entity, instead of the Company,
and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture
prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities
which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such
successor entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the
Trustee for

                                      -51-
<PAGE>

that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same
legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or
thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all
of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

         SECTION 803 Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

         Any consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance permitted under
Section 801 is also subject to the condition that the Trustee receive an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and the assumption by any
successor entity, complies with the provisions of this Article and that all
conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been
complied with.

        herein and in the Securities contained; or

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

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

        change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or
        any premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest on Bearer Securities, to

        Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange for
        Bearer Securities of other authorized denominations or to permit or
        facilitate the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form, provided
        that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the
        Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in any
        material respect; or

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

            (6) to secure the Securities; or

            (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series and
        any related coupons as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, including the
        provisions and procedures relating to Securities convertible into
        Capital Stock; or

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

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

            (10) to close this Indenture with respect to the authentication and
        delivery of additional series of Securities or to qualify, or maintain
        qualification of, this Indenture under the TIA; or

            (11) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such
        extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and
        discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to Sections 1401, 1402
        and 1403; provided in each case that any such action shall not adversely

        case may be); or

            (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding

                                   COVENANTS

         SECTION 1001 Payment of Principal, Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any, Interest and Additional Amounts.

         The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each
series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts
payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms
of such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this
Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on and any Additional
Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other
than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1011 in respect
of principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) such a Security,
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for
such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to
Section 301, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid
by check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other person
entitled thereto against surrender of such Security.

         SECTION 1002 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

         If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities,
the Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities
an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment or conversion, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and
this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer
Securities, the Company will maintain: (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series
may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion, where any Registered
Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and
this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that series and
related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion in the
circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B)
subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for
that series which is located outside the United States, an office or agency
where Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and
surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1011) or conversion; provided,
however, that if the Securities of that series are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, The International Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange
located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the
Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in
Luxembourg, London or any other required city located outside the United States,
as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed in such
exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a
Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States an office or
agency where any Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration
of

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of
that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location,
of each such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain
any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer
Securities of that series and the related coupons may be presented and
surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on
Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1011) at the offices
specified in the Security, in London, England, and the Company hereby appoints
the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to
receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

         Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 301, no payment of principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest on
or Additional Amounts in respect of Bearer Securities shall be made at any
office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any
address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank
located in the United States; provided, however, that, if the Securities of a
series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and
interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional Amounts or Make-Whole
Amount payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1011) shall be
made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of
such principal, premium, interest, Additional Amounts or Make-Whole Amount, as
the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained
for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or
effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

         The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies where the Securities of one or more series and related coupons, if
any, may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may
from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements
set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless
otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as Places of
Payment for each series of Securities the Corporate Company Office of the
Trustee and the office or agency of ____________________ at
____________________, The City of New York, initially appoints the Trustee as a
Paying Agent in __________, _______, and __________________ as Paying Agent in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and appoints each as its agent
to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

         Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated
in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long
as it is required under any other provision of the

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of
Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent.

         SECTION 1003 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Company.

         If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with
respect to any series of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or
before each due date of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities
of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to
act.

         Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due
date of the principal of (and premium or Make- Whole Amount, if any), or
interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Securities of that series,
deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit
or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding
paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest or Additional Amounts, so becoming due, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium,
Make-Whole Amount or interest or Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act.

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

            (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and
        premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on Securities or
        Additional Amounts in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
        thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
        disposed of as herein provided;

            (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
        other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of
        principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest or
        Additional Amounts; and

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

         The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were

                                      -58-
<PAGE>

held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying
Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such sums.

         Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of
any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and
premiums or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest or Additional Amounts has
become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if
then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to
the Company for payment of such principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security,
without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.

         SECTION 1004 [Omitted].

         SECTION 1005 Existence.

         Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of Securities of any
series.

         SECTION 1006 Maintenance of Properties.

         The Company will cause all of its properties used or useful in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and
kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary
equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company or any
Subsidiary from selling or otherwise disposing of for value its properties in
the ordinary course of its business.

         SECTION 1007 Insurance.

         The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all
of its insurable properties insured against loss or damage at least equal to
their then full insurable value with financially sound and reputable insurance
companies.

         SECTION 1008 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

         The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the
income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful
claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a
lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability
or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

         SECTION 1009 Provision of Financial Information.

         Whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Company will, to the extent permitted under the Exchange Act,
file with the Commission the annual reports, quarterly reports and other
documents which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission
pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d) (the "Financial Statements") if the Company
were so subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to
the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Company would
have been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject.

         The Company will also in any event (x) within 15 days of each Required
Filing Date (i) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses
appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the
annual reports and quarterly reports which the Company would have been required
to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
if the Company were subject to such Sections, and (ii) file with the Trustee
copies of annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the
Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were subject to such Sections and
(y) if filing such documents by the Company with the Commission is not permitted
under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment of the
reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to
any prospective Holder.

         SECTION 1010 Statement as to Compliance.

         The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer,
principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her
knowledge of the Trust's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this
Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance
and the nature and status thereof. For purposes of this Section 1010, such
compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 1011 Additional Amounts.

         If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or
any coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as
contemplated by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in
any context except in the case of Section 502(1), the payment of the principal
of or any premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest on, or in respect of, any
Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds
received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided
by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in
respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of
Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.

         Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the
Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least
10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of
Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to
Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is
made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any
premium or Make-Whole Amount or interest if there has been any change with
respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate,
the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or
Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such
payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that
series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related
coupons who are not United States persons without withholding for or on account
of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities
of or within the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such
Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to
be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or
related coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the
Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that
the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the
above- mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be
entitled (i) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with
respect to any payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities
of a series or related coupons until it shall have received a certificate
advising otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal and interest with
respect to the Securities of a series or related coupons without withholding or
deductions until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the
Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on
their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any
of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this
Section or in reliance on the Company's not furnishing such an Officers'
Certificate.

         SECTION 1012 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

         The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1009, inclusive, and
with any other term, provision or condition with respect to the Securities of
any series specified in accordance with Section 301 (except any such term,
provision or condition which could not be amended without the consent of all
Holders of Securities of such series pursuant to Section 902), if before or
after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to
or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company
and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or
condition shall remain in full force and effect.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

         SECTION 1101 Applicability of Article.

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

         SECTION 1102 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

         The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election
of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company
shall, at least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in
Section 1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction.

         SECTION 1103 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

         If less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day
with the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series issued on such date with
the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection
for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal
amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of that series.

                                      -62-
<PAGE>

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

         For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any 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 1104 Notice of Redemption.

         Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section
106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date,
unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established
pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but
failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.

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

         All notices of redemption shall state:

            (1) the Redemption Date;

            (2) the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the Redemption Date
        payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, and Additional Amounts, if
        any;

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

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

            (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued
        interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if
        any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion
        thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall
        cease to accrue on and after said date;

            (6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together
        in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto,
        if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for
        payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, or for
        conversion;

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

            (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any, provided that
        neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for
        any such CUSIP number; and

            (11) if applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to
        convert Securities to be redeemed must satisfy the requirements for
        conversion contained in such Securities, the then existing conversion
        price or rate and the date and time when the option to convert shall
        expire.

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

         SECTION 1105 Deposit of Redemption Price.

         On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article
Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite
currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of
such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of,
and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on
that date.

         SECTION 1106 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

         Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified in the currency or currencies, currency unit
or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such
series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default
in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities
shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons
for such interest appertaining to any

                                      -64-
<PAGE>

Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall
be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with
said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing
after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable
only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as
otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for
such interest; and provided further that except as otherwise provided with
respect to Securities convertible into Capital Stock, installments of interest
on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption
Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section
307.

         If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided,
however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

         If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the
rate borne by the Security.

         SECTION 1107 Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

         SECTION 1201 Applicability of Article.

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

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

         SECTION 1202 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

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

         SECTION 1203 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

         Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking payment date for Securities
of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash
to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers'
Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not
less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall
select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to
be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
1106 and 1107.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                       REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

         SECTION 1301 Applicability of Article.

         Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at
the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such
Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such
series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.

         SECTION 1302 Repayment of Securities.

         Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at
the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms
of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereon,
together with interest, if any, thereof accrued to the Repayment Date specified
in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or
before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the
principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a
percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an
Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions
thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

         SECTION 1303 Exercise of Option.

         Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the
Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse
of such Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the
Holder, the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in
the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the
Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not
earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the
Security so providing for such repayment together with the "Option to Elect
Repayment" form on the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), or a
commercial

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder
of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of
the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the
tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment
is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid,
together with the duly completed form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on
the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the
fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter; provided, however, that such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly
completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than
the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with
the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid,
in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the
denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the
Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that
is not to be repaid, must be specified. The principal amount of any Security
providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in
part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security
would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of or
within the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as
otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment
at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the
Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

         SECTION 1304 When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and
Payable.

         If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of
the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and
as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or
the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and
payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein
specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such
Securities shall, if the same were interest- bearing, cease to bear interest and
the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of
any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together
with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment
Date, the principal amount of such security so to be repaid shall be paid by the
Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date;
provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and
surrender of such coupons; and provided further that, in the case of Registered
Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon,
unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307.

         If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such
Security may be paid after

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount
equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such
missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there
be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each
of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding
sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted;
provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at
an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

         If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall
not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with
interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest or Yield to
Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such
Security.

         SECTION 1305 Securities Repaid in Part.

         Upon surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part
only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the
Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such
Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

                                ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

         SECTION 1401 Applicability of Article; Company's Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of
(a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b)
covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1403
to be applicable to the Securities of any series, then the provisions of such
Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of
this Article (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to
Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its
option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, elect to defease such Outstanding Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto pursuant to Section 1402 (if applicable) or
Section 1403 (if applicable) upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
in this Article.

         SECTION 1402 Defeasance and Discharge.

         Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall
be deemed to have been discharged

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are
satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means
that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only
for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all of its other
obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this
Indenture insofar as such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of
Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto to
receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Company's
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and
1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Securities as contemplated by Section 1011, (C) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to
compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403
with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

         SECTION 1403 Covenant Defeasance.

         Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall
be released from its obligations under Sections 1004 to 1009, inclusive, and, if
specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant,
with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied
(hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with Sections 1004 to 1009,
inclusive, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding"
for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by
reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or 501(9) or
otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be
unaffected thereby.

         SECTION 1404 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or
Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any coupons
appertaining thereto:

         (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of
Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article
Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto, (1) an amount in such currency, currencies or currency unit in which
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as
payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such
Securities and coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the
currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and coupons
appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which
through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
date of any payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto,
money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof in an amount, sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay
and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or
installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments are due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto; provided, that the Trustee shall have been
irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government
Obligations to said payments with respect to such Securities. Before such a
deposit, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 1102
hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all or any portion of such
Outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance with the terms of the
Securities of such series and Article Eleven hereof, which notice shall be
irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect
in applying the foregoing.

         (b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other
material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it
is bound (and shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest
pursuant to Section 310(b) of the TIA with respect to any Security of the
Company).

         (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(7) and 501(8) are concerned, at any
time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of

                                      -71-
<PAGE>

such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period).

         (d) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service
a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been
a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance
had not occurred.

         (e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result
of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

         (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance under Section 1402 or the covenant defeasance under
Section 1403 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a result of a deposit pursuant to
subsection (a) above and the related exercise of the Company's option under
Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as the case may be) registration is not required
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company, with
respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such
trust funds or (ii) all necessary registrations under said Act have been
effected.

         (g) After the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not
be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally.

         (h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any
additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed
on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

         SECTION 1405 Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

         Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant
to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1405, the
"Trustee") pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of
any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

         Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to
Section 301, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 1404(a) has been made,
(a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is
entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of such
Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other than that in
which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made in respect of such
Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the currency or
currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made,
the indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and
satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due
out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below
in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in
respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit in which such
Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based
on the applicable market exchange rate for such currency or currency unit in
effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with
respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency unit in effect (as
nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.

         The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 1404 or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto.

         Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom)
held by it as provided in Section 1404 which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount
thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or
covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.

of any series for any purpose specified in Section 1501, to be held at such time
and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in
London as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting
and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be
given, in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor more than 180

series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and
at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders
of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series.

         Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be
binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the related coupons,
whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1504, if any
action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series with
respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action that this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given

        series that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization,
        direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into
        account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization,
        direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been made, given
        or taken under this Indenture.

         SECTION 1505 Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of
                      Meetings.

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

                                      -75-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 1506 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

         The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be
subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of
their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of
the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The
permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who
shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in
duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be
attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any
vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having
knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and
showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if
applicable, Section 1504. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such
copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted
at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence
of the matters therein stated.

         SECTION 1507 Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.

         Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified
percentage in principal amount of the Holders of any or all series may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such specified percentage of Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Article Six) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if
made in the manner provided in this Article.

         SECTION 1508 Proof of Execution of Instruments.

         Subject to Article Six, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or
his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee.

                                ARTICLE SIXTEEN

                                  SUBORDINATION

         SECTION 1601 Agreement to Subordinate.

         The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees,
that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Debt and that the subordination is for the benefit
of the holders of Senior Debt.

         SECTION 1602 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

         Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

            (1) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in
        full in cash of the principal of and interest (including interest
        accruing after the commencement of any such proceeding) to the date of
        payment on the Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to receive
        any payment of principal of or interest on Securities;

            (2) until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution
        to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article shall be made to
        holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that
        Holders may receive securities that are subordinated to Senior Debt to
        at least the same extent as the Securities; and

            (3) the Trustee is entitled to rely upon an order or decree of a
        court of competent jurisdiction or a certificate of a bankruptcy trustee
        or other similar official for the purpose of ascertaining the persons
        entitled to participate in such distribution, the

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

        holders of Senior Debt and other Company debt, the amount thereof or
        payable thereon and all other pertinent facts relating to the Trustee's
        obligations under this Article Sixteen.

        SECTION 1603 Default on Senior Debt.

        The Company may not pay principal of or interest on the Securities and
may not acquire any Securities for cash or property other than capital stock of
the Company if:

            (1) a default on Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that permits
        holders of such Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, and

            (2) the default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the
        Company receives a notice of the default from a person who may give it
        pursuant to Section 1611. If the Company receives any such notice, a
        similar notice received within nine months thereafter relating to the
        same default on the same issue of Senior Debt shall not be effective for
        purposes of this Section.

        The Company may resume payments on the Securities and may acquire them
when:

            (a) the default is cured or waived, or

            (b) 120 days pass after the notice is given if the default is not
        the subject of judicial proceedings.

        if this Article otherwise permits the payment or acquisition at that
        time.

        SECTION 1604 Acceleration of Securities.

        If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of
Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the
acceleration. The Company may pay the Securities when 120 days pass after the
acceleration occurs if this Article permits the payment at that time.

        SECTION 1605 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

        If a distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article
should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution
shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt and pay it over to them as
their interests may appear.

        SECTION 1606 Notice by the Company

        The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and any Paying Agent of
any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of principal of or
interest on Securities to violate this Article.

                                      -78-
<PAGE>

         SECTION 1607 Subrogation.

         After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Securities are paid
in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to
receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions
otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior
Debt. A distribution made under this Article to holders of Senior Debt which
otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and
Holders, a payment by the Company on Senior Debt.

         SECTION 1608 Relative Rights.

         This Article defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of
Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

            (1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of
        the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of
        and interest on the Securities in accordance with their terms;

            (2) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the
        Company other than holders of Senior Debt; or

            (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available
        remedies upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of
        Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.

         If the Company fails because of this Article to pay principal of or
interest on a Security on the due date, the failure is still a default.

         SECTION 1609 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company

         No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of
the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or
failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

         SECTION 1610 Distribution or Notice to Representative.

         Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of
Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative.

         SECTION 1611 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

         The Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the
Securities until it receives written notice of facts that would cause a payment
of principal of or interest on the Securities to violate this Article. Only the
Company, a Representative or a holder of an issue of Senior Debt that has no
Representative may give the written notice.

                                      -79-
<PAGE>

         The Trustee has no fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt other
than as created under this Indenture. The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.

         The Company's obligation to pay, and the Company's payment of, the
Trustee's fees pursuant to Section 606 are excluded from the operation of this
Article Sixteen.

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

_______________, at the rate of __% per annum, until the entire principal amount
hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Subordinated
Security (or one or more Predecessor Subordinated Securities) is registered at
the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall
be the ________ or ________ (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be,
next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name
this Subordinated Security (or one or more Predecessor Subordinated Securities)
is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Subordinated Securities of this series not more than 15 days
and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Subordinated Securities may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided
in the Indenture. Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on,
and interest on this Subordinated Security will be made at the office or agency
of the Corporation maintained for that purpose in the City of ____________,
State of __________, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the
option of the Corporation payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register kept for the Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 305
of the Indenture (the "Security Register") or (ii) transfer to an account of the
Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.

         This Subordinated Security is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Corporation (herein called the "Subordinated Securities"),
issued and to be issued in one or more

<PAGE>

series under an Indenture, dated as of _________, 200_ (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Corporation and ____________ (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the Subordinated Securities), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities and of
the terms upon which the Subordinated Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Subordinated Security is one of the series
designated as the "[designation of Subordinated Securities]," limited in
aggregate principal amount to $__________.

         The Subordinated Securities may be redeemed at any time at the option
of the Corporation, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor
less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to
the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Subordinated Securities being
redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the
Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Subordinated Securities.

         The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Subordinated Securities of this series at the option of the Corporation:

         "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Subordinated Security, the excess, if any, of (i)
the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated
payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of
interest (exclusive of any interest accrued to the date of redemption or
accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if
such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by
discounting, on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the
Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such
notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the
respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if
such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Securities being redeemed or
paid.

         "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

         "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15
(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal
Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States
government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical
release is not published at the time of any determination under the

                                      -2-

Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Corporation.

         The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Corporation on this Subordinated Security and (b)
certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default
applicable to the Corporation, in each case, upon compliance by the Corporation
with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to
this Subordinated Security.

         If an Event of Default with respect to the Subordinated Securities
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on, the Subordinated Securities may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

         As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Subordinated Security shall not have the right to institute any
proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have
previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default
with respect to the Subordinated Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Subordinated Securities at the time Outstanding shall
have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity
and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Subordinated Securities at the time Outstanding a
direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any
such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of
this Subordinated Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal
hereof or any interest on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities under
the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Subordinated Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Subordinated
Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Subordinated
Securities, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of
the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Subordinated
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Subordinated Security and of any Subordinated Security issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Subordinated Security.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Subordinated Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal
of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Subordinated Security at
the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Subordinated Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Subordinated Security for registration
of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation in any Place of Payment
where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this
Subordinated Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security
Registrar for the Subordinated Securities (the "Security Registrar") duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Subordinated Securities of this series, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Subordinated Securities of this series are issuable only in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Subordinated Securities of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Securities of
this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

         No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         Prior to due presentment of this Subordinated Security for registration
of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Subordinated Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Subordinated Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor
any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         The Holder of this Subordinated Security by the acceptance thereof
agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Security is
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in
Article Sixteen of the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Debt and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior
Debt. The Holder hereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take
such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such subordination as
provided in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such
purpose. "Senior Debt" is defined in the Indenture as the principal of and
interest on, or substantially similar payments to be made by the Corporation in
respect of, the following, whether outstanding at the date of execution of this
Indenture or thereafter incurred, created or assumed: (a) indebtedness of the
Corporation for money borrowed or represented by purchase-money obligations, (b)
indebtedness of the Corporation evidenced by notes, debentures, or bonds, or
other securities issued under the provisions of an indenture, fiscal agency
agreement or other instrument, (c) obligations of the Corporation as lessee
under leases of property either made as part of any sale and lease-back
transaction to which the Corporation is a party or otherwise, (d) indebtedness
of partnerships and joint ventures which is included in the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements, (e) indebtedness, obligations and liabilities
of others in respect of which the Corporation is liable contingently or
otherwise to pay or advance money or property or as guarantor, endorser or
otherwise or which the Corporation has agreed to purchase or otherwise acquire,
and (f) any binding commitment of the Corporation to fund any real estate
investment or to fund any investment in any entity making such real estate
investment;

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

but excluding, however, (1) any such indebtedness, obligation or liability
referred to in clauses (a) through (f) above as to which, in the instrument
creating or evidencing the same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, it
is provided that such indebtedness, obligation or liability is not superior in
right of payment to the Subordinated Securities, or ranks pari passu with the
Subordinated Securities, (2) any such indebtedness, obligation or liability
which is subordinated to indebtedness of the Corporation to substantially the
same extent as or to a greater extent than the Subordinated Securities are
subordinated and (3) the Subordinated Securities. As used in the preceding
sentence the term "purchase-money obligations" shall mean indebtedness or
obligations evidenced by a note, debenture, bond or other instrument (whether or
not secured by any lien or other security interest but excluding indebtedness or
obligations for which recourse is limited to the property purchased) issued or
assumed as all or a part of the consideration for the acquisition of property,
whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, but shall not include
any trade accounts payable. A distribution may consist of cash, securities or
other property.

         No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
contained in the Indenture or in this Subordinated Security, or because of any
indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such or,
against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such,
of the Corporation or of any successor, either directly or through the
Corporation 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 this Subordinated Security by the Holder thereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue of the Subordinated Securities.

         All terms used in this Subordinated Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         THE INDENTURE AND THE SUBORDINATED SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS
SUBORDINATED SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Corporation has caused "CUSIP" numbers
to be printed on the Subordinated Securities as a convenience to the Holders of
the Subordinated Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Subordinated Securities, and
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or
on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Subordinated Security shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose.
