Person, or (iii) such Global Note is surrendered in exchange for a Physical
Note, or (iv) such Global Note is no longer outstanding. The principal amount
and serial numbers of Global Notes held by any Person, and the date of holding
the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.

                                   THE NOTES

     SECTION 2.1    Form and Dating.

     (a) The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A.  The Notes may have notations, legends
                             ---------
or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to
those set forth in Exhibit A.  The Company shall approve the form of the Notes
                   ---------
and any notation, legend or endorsement on the Notes.  Each Note shall be dated
the date of its authentication.  The Notes shall be issuable and initially
represented by one or more global notes in bearer form without interest coupons
in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A (the "Global Notes").
                                       ---------

     (b) The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and
are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent
applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this
Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

     (c) The aggregate principal amount of Global Notes may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as
custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

     (d) The Physical Notes shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or
produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other
manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Notes may
be listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such Notes, as evidenced
by their execution of such Notes.  Physical Notes shall be issued in registered
form only and in no event shall Physical Notes be issued in bearer form.

     SECTION 2.2  Denominations.

     The Notes shall initially be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000.

     SECTION 2.3  Execution and Authentication.

     (a) Two Officers (each of whom shall have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature.

     (b) If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office
at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

     (c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has
been authenticated under this Indenture.

     (d) The Trustee shall authenticate Notes for original issue upon a written
order of the Company executed by two Officers. The written order shall specify
the amount and type of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the
original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and the legends, if any, to be
placed on the Notes.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     (e) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable
to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

     SECTION 2.4  Registrar and Paying Agent.

     (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York where (i) Notes, if in registered form, may be
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
("Registrar"), (ii) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment ("Paying
Agent") and (iii) notices and demands in respect of the Notes and this Indenture
may be served.  The Company, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company may
serve as the Agent referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, except the
Company, or such Subsidiary or Affiliate may not act as Paying Agent for
purposes of the repurchase under Section 4.17.  The Registrar shall keep a
register of the Notes (in registered form) and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company, upon written notice to and approval of the Trustee, may appoint one
or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The Company may
change any Registrar or Paying Agent without notice to any Noteholder.  The term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.  The term "Registrar" includes any appointed co-registrar.  The Company
initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent and agent to
receive notices and demands in respect of the Notes until such time as the
Trustee has resigned or a successor has been appointed in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture.  For so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in Luxembourg.  The
Company will appoint Banque Internationale a Luxembourg S.A. as its Paying Agent
in Luxembourg until such time as Banque Internationale a Luxembourg has resigned
or a successor has been appointed.

     (b) The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the
provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing, in advance, of the name and address of any such Agent
not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to appoint or maintain
another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

     SECTION 2.5  Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

     The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree
in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of
Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such money has
been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and
shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Notes) in making any such payment.  If the Company or a
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate such money and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as
Paying Agent.  Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization procedures relating to the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.  While any such
Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all such money
held by it to the Trustee.  The Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) at
any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all such money held by it to the
Trustee and account for any funds disbursed.  Upon such payment to the Trustee,
the Paying Agent (if other than the Company, a Subsidiary or any other obligor
upon the Notes) shall have no further liability for such money.

     SECTION 2.6  Noteholder Lists.

     In the event that Physical Notes are issued, the Trustee shall preserve in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to
it of the names and addresses of Noteholders and shall otherwise comply with TIA
Section 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Notes) shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) Business
Days before each interest payment date (and in all events at intervals of not
more than six months) and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of Noteholders, and the Company shall
otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

                                       10
<PAGE>

     SECTION 2.7  Transfer and Exchange.

     (a) Physical Notes shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a
Physical Note for registration of transfer. The Company shall cause to be kept
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained
in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section
4.2 hereof being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security
Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Company shall provide for the registration of Physical Notes and of
transfers of Physical Notes. Where Notes in registered form or "Physical Notes"
are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register the
transfer of such Notes or exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes
of other authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-registrar shall register
the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are
met, provided that any Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-registrar
and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly
authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the
Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate the Notes at the
Registrar's or co-registrar's request.

     (b) The Registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any Note in registered form (i) during a period
beginning at the opening of business on a Business Day fifteen (15) days before
the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in whole or
in part pursuant to Article 3 hereof, except the unredeemed portion of any Note
being redeemed in part.

     (c) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange; provided however, that the Company, Registrar or Trustee, as
appropriate, may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay any taxes or similar
governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or
exchange of Notes in registered form from the Noteholder requesting such
transfer or exchange (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental
charges arising under the laws of the United Kingdom or the United States or of
any State thereof payable upon transfers or exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10,
2.13, 3.6, 4.17 or 9.5 hereof).

     SECTION 2.8  Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

     (a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the
Depositary for such Global Notes or the nominee of such Depositary, and (ii) be
delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary.

     (b) Rights of members of, or participants in DTC or the Depositary ("Agent
Members") with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf, by the Trustee
shall be limited in accordance with Section 2.16 hereof.

     (c) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global
Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their
respective nominees.  Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be
transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary or, if
applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream, and the provisions of this
Article 2.

     (d) Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners, as
definitive registered Notes, in exchange for their beneficial interests in the
Global Notes only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company or the Trustee that
it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes, as the
case may be, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within
90 days of such notice; (ii) at any time, the Company determines that the Global
Notes, in whole, but not in part, should be exchanged for definitive registered
Notes, but only if such exchange is required by any applicable law, any event
beyond the control, or payments on any Global Note, depositary interest or book-
entry interest, or would become, subject to any deduction or withholding for
taxes; (iii) the Trustee is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as book-
entry depositary and the Company does not appoint a successor within 90 days; or
(iv) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has
received a request to the foregoing effect from the Holder.

     (e) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial
interests in a Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (d) of
this Section 2.8, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and

                                       11
<PAGE>

a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Note to be
transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary or, if
applicable, by Euroclear or Clearstream, in exchange for its beneficial interest
in the Global Note an equal aggregate principal of Physical Notes of authorized
denominations.

     (f) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial
owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, the Global Note shall be
deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial
owner identified by the Depositary or, if applicable, by Euroclear or
Clearstream, in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Note an equal
aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.

     (g) The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold
interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled
to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

     (h) Beneficial owners of interests in a Global Note may receive Physical
Notes in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. In connection with
the execution, authentication and delivery of such Physical Notes, the Registrar
shall reflect on its books and records a decrease in the principal amount of the
relevant Global Note (in registered form) equal to the principal amount of such
Physical Notes and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver one or more Physical Notes having an equal aggregate principal
amount.

     SECTION 2.9  Deposit of Monies.

     Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on (or, in the case of any money to
be used to make payments through the Luxembourg Paying Agent or any other Paying
Agent not located in the United States, one Business Day prior to each relevant
Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date) each Interest Payment Date and Maturity
Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately
available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such
Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner
which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

     SECTION 2.10 Replacement Notes.

     If any mutilated Physical Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if any
mutilated Global Note is surrendered to the Company or if the Holder of a Note
claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, and the
Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee,
upon the written order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate,
shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements are met.  If
required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond or other form of
indemnification must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the
judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, or
any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The
Company may charge the Holder for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
replacing a Note.  The Company shall remain obligated under any replacement Note
to the same extent as if it were the original Note surrendered.

     SECTION 2.11 Outstanding Notes.

     (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those cancelled or those delivered to it for cancellation
and those described in this Section 2.11 as not outstanding.

     (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof (other than a
mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by
a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender
of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     (c) If an amount of money necessary to pay or redeem any Note shall be
deposited in trust with the Trustee (and in the case of a Note which is to be
redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall
be duly given or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall be made for giving
such notice), it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue on
and after the Redemption Date.

     (d) If a Note is cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

     (e) A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Note, except as otherwise provided in Section
2.12 hereof.

     SECTION 2.12 Treasury Notes.

     In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Company, any other obligor upon the Notes or an Affiliate of the Company or such
other obligor shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that, for
the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so
owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned that have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to so act with respect to such
Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

     SECTION 2.13 Temporary Notes.

     Until  Physical Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and
the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Physical Notes upon receipt of a
written order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate.  The
Officers' Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Physical Notes to be
authenticated and the date on which the temporary Physical Notes are to be
authenticated.  Temporary Physical Notes shall be substantially in the form of
Physical Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate
for temporary Physical Notes.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of the written order of the Company
pursuant to Section 2.3(d) hereof, shall authenticate Physical Notes in exchange
for temporary Physical Notes.  Until such exchange, temporary Physical Notes
shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as  Physical
Notes.

     SECTION 2.14 Cancellation.

     The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee for cancellation any
Physical Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, repayment or redemption.  The Trustee, or at the direction of the
Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company), and no one else, shall promptly cancel all Notes so
delivered to the Trustee or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, repayment, redemption, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy
cancelled Notes in accordance with the usual procedures of the Trustee and a
record of their destruction shall be maintained by the Trustee.  If the Company
shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented by such Notes unless and
until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this
Section 2.14.

     SECTION 2.15 Defaulted Interest.

     If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay
the defaulted interest plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the
defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record
date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the
Company for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business
Day if such date is not a Business Day, in each case at the rate provided in the
Notes. The Company shall, with the consent of and by written notice to the
Trustee, fix each such special record date and payment date. At least 15 days
before the special record date, the Company shall pay the amount due to the
Trustee, and the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of
the Company)

                                       13
<PAGE>

shall mail to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the
subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted
interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

     SECTION 2.16  Persons Deemed Owners.

     (a) Members of, or participants in DTC, shall have no rights under this
Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Trustee,
and the Trustee may be treated by the Depositary, the Company and any agent of
the Company as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes
whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee, the Depository or any agent of such, from giving effect to
any written certification proxy or other authorization furnished by the Trustee
or the Depository regarding the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

     (b) The Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Agents and persons that may hold interests through Agents, to take any
action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

     SECTION 2.17  CUSIP, CINS and ISIN Numbers.

     The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP", "CINS", "ISIN" or other
identification numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall
use CUSIP numbers, CINS numbers, ISIN numbers or other identification numbers,
as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to
Holders, provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be
placed only to the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, provided
further that failure to use "CUSIP", "CINS", "ISIN" or other identification
numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not effect the validity or
sufficiency of such notice.

     SECTION 2.18  Issuance of Additional Notes.

     The Company may not issue additional Notes under this Indenture.

                                   ARTICLE 3

                                   REDEMPTION

     SECTION 3.1  Notices to Trustee.

     (a) If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Sections 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 hereof, it shall furnish to
the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption
Date, an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, the Redemption Date, the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed and the Redemption Price. If the Company elects
to have the Trustee furnish notice of redemption (as described above) of the
Notes to the Holders, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing and
provide all the information and documentation required by this paragraph, at
least 45 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date.

     (b) If the Registrar is not the Trustee, the Company shall, concurrently
with each notice of redemption, cause the Registrar to deliver to the Trustee a
certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely) setting forth the principal
amounts of Notes held by each Holder.

                                       14
<PAGE>

     SECTION 3.2  Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

     (a) If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall
select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the
principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed
or, if the Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange or if no such
requirements exist, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that any Notes with a
principal amount of $1,000 or less shall not be redeemed in part; and provided
further, if partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering,
the Trustee will select Notes for redemption only on a pro rata basis or as
nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (subject to DTC procedures), unless that
basis is not permitted.

     (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of
them selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000;
except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire
outstanding amount of Notes, held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of
$1,000, shall be redeemed.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

     SECTION 3.3  Notice of Redemption.

     (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date,
the Company shall (i) if the Notes are represented by a Global Note, publish in
a leading newspaper having general circulation in New York (which is expected to
be the Wall Street Journal) (and, so long as the Notes are listed on the
       -------------------
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require, shall be
published in a daily newspaper which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort), or
                                                           ----------------
(ii) if the Notes are represented by Physical Notes, mail or cause to be mailed
by first class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder of the Notes to be
redeemed, at the last address for that holder shown on the registry books, with
a copy to the Trustee and for so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange and the rules of such stock exchange so require, publish in a
newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be
the Luxemburger Wort).  If the Company redeems any Note in part only, the notice
    ----------------
of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal
amount to be redeemed, which portion will not be less than $1,000.  The Company
will issue a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion in the
name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note (subject to DTC
procedures).  On and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will no
longer accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption or
purchase, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment at the office of
the Paying Agent for the Notes in New York, so long as the Company has deposited
funds in a sufficient amount to pay the redemption or purchase price.

     (b) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

           (i)   the Redemption Date;

           (ii)  the Redemption Price;

           (iii) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the
principal amount of such Note to be redeemed (which portion shall not be less
than $1,000) and that, after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a
new note or notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be
issued in the name of the holder upon cancellation of the original note (subject
to DTC procedures);

          (iv)   the name and address of the Paying Agent;

          (v)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the
Paying Agent at its address to collect the Redemption Price;

          (vi)   that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption
payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the

                                       15
<PAGE>

Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon
surrender to the Paying Agent of such Notes;

          (vii)  if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the
identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as
well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate
principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

          (viii) the paragraph of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes
called for redemption are being redeemed; and

          (ix)   the CUSIP, CINS or ISIN number of the Notes, as the case may
be.

     (c) At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at its expense, provided that the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, an
Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting
forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.3(b).

     SECTION 3.4  Effect of Notice of Redemption.

     Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due
and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price.  Upon surrender to
any Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price, on condition
that sufficient funds to pay the Redemption Price of such Notes have been
deposited with the Paying Agent; provided, however, that installments of
interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such, at the close of
business on the relevant record date for the payment of such installment of
interest.

     SECTION 3.5  Deposit of Redemption Price.

     (a) At least one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the Company
shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or if the
Company is its own Paying Agent, shall, on or before the redemption date,
segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all
Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall return
to the Company any money not required for that purpose.

Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Notes
to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the applicable Redemption Date, whether
or not such Notes are presented for payment. If any Note called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the
Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will be paid on the
unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and on
any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof.

                                   COVENANTS

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1 hereof, so long as Notes are
outstanding hereunder, the Company covenants for the benefit of the Holders
that:

     SECTION 4.1  Payment of Principal and Interest.

     (a) The Company shall duly and punctually pay the principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Notes and this Indenture. One Business Day prior to the date of any Stated
Maturity, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such
principal, premium, if any, and interest. An installment of principal or
interest (or a payment of premium, if applicable) shall be considered paid on
the date due if the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on that date
money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment in full. If the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any Affiliate of either the Company
or any Subsidiary, acts as Paying Agent, an installment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest shall be considered paid on the due date if the entity
acting as Paying Agent complies with Section 2.5. The Trustee or the Paying
Agent shall return to the Company any money not required for that purpose. Such
interest on the Notes shall be payable without presentation of such Notes only
to, or upon the written order of, the Holders of such Notes. Payments of
interest shall be made either, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the
register of Notes or at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the
Trustee in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof.

     (b) The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if
any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at
the rate per annum borne by the Notes, to the extent lawful and provided for
under this Indenture.

     (c) The Company shall pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on
April 1 and October 1.  The Company shall make each interest payment to the
persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the
preceding April 1 and October 1.  In the case of the first interest payment date
on October 1, 2001, interest shall be paid as if it had accrued effective from
April 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001.  On each interest

                                       18
<PAGE>

payment date thereafter, interest shall accrue from the date interest was most
recently paid. The Company shall compute interest on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months.

     SECTION 4.2  Maintenance of Office or Agency for Notices and Demands.

     The Company shall maintain in New York, New York, an office or agency
(which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar
or co-registrar) where the Notes may be presented for payment, registration of
transfer or exchange and an office or agency where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of such Notes or of this Indenture may be served.
Until otherwise designated by the Company in a written notice to the Trustee,
such office or agency in The City of New York shall be the Corporate Trust
Office, which shall be, until further notice to the Company by the Trustee at
c/o Issuer Services, 452 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10018.  The Company
may designate multiple offices for purposes of notices and demands.

     SECTION 4.3  Property and Insurance Matters.

     The Company shall maintain all material property, including equipment, in
reasonable condition and order.  The Company shall provide or cause to be
provided for itself and each of its Subsidiaries insurance (including
appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage arising from the conduct of
the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries with reputable insurers in such
amounts, with such deductibles, and by such methods as will be either (a)
consistent in all material respects with past practices of the Company or the
applicable Subsidiary, or (b) customary in the industry, unless the failure to
provide such insurance would not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations taken as a whole or be a violation of
applicable law or material agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

     SECTION 4.4  Compliance Certificate and Opinion of Counsel; Notice of
Default.

     (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end
of the Company's fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate, if given by one of the
Company's Officers, or an Opinion of Counsel, if it is given by counsel, stating
that a review of its activities and the activities of its Subsidiaries during
the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
Person with a view to determining whether it has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and further stating, as to each
such Officer signing such certificate or such counsel signing the opinion, that
to the best of his or her knowledge the Company during such preceding fiscal
year has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant
contained in this Indenture and no Default or Event of Default occurred during
such year or, if such signers do know of any Default or Event of Default, the
certificate shall describe such Default or Event of Default and its status with
reasonable particularity.

     (b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver
to the Trustee, within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any
Default or Event of Default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or
condition contained in this Indenture, a notice identifying in reasonable detail
the circumstances relating to such Default or Event of Default and what action
the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     SECTION 4.5  Corporate Existence.

     Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, material rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such material
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 that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes.

     SECTION 4.6  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

     The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before any material penalty accrues thereon, the following:  (a) all material
taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the

                                       19
<PAGE>

Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or upon the income, profits or property
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and (b) all material 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 of the Company;
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 4.7  Reports.

     So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, whether or not the Company is
subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall 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 Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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 to file such documents if the Company were so subject.  The
Company shall also in any event within 15 days after each Required Filing Date
mail to the Trustee, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other
documents which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were
subject so such Sections.  Upon qualification of this Indenture under the TIA,
the Company shall also comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee shall have no duty
to review such documents for purposes of determining compliance with any
provisions of this Indenture.

     SECTION 4.8  Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

     The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)  that it
will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or
other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes as
contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or
which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so)  the Company 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 4.9  Payment of Additional Amounts.

     (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect
to the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or
deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost,
assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other
liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government
of the United Kingdom or of any territory thereof, by any authority or agency
therein or thereof having power to tax (hereinafter "Taxes"), unless the Company
is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes by law
or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government
authority or agency. If the Company is so required to withhold or deduct any
amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to
the Notes, the Company shall pay such additional amounts ("Additional Amounts")
as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including
Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than
the amount the Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or
deducted; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts shall be payable with
respect to payments made to a Holder (an "Excluded Holder") in respect of a
beneficial owner (i) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of its being
connected with the United Kingdom otherwise than by the mere holding of Notes or
the receipt of payments thereunder; (ii) with respect to any Taxes that would
not have been imposed, due or payable but for a failure by the Holder to comply
with a request by the Company to satisfy any certification, identification or
other reporting requirements, whether imposed by statute, regulation, treaty or
administrative practice concerning nationality, residence or connection with the
United Kingdom; (iii) with respect to any Taxes that would not have been
imposed, due or payable but for the Holder's presentation of a Note for payment
more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available to the
Holder (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to
Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on any day (including the last
day) within such 30-day period); or (iv) where such withholding or deduction is
imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any
European Union Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions
of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 or any law implementing or
complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. The
Company shall make any such
                                       20
<PAGE>

withholding or deduction as required and remit the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant authority as and when required in accordance with
applicable law. The obligations of the Company to pay any Additional Amounts
under this Section 4.9 shall be satisfied if the Company elects at its option to
redeem the Notes in accordance with Section 3.9.

     (b) The Company shall furnish to the Holder, within 30 days after the date
the payment of any Taxes referred to in (a) above is due pursuant to applicable
law, evidence of such payment by the Company.

     (c) The foregoing obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or
discharge of the Indenture.

transaction or series of transactions, the following terms shall have been
satisfied: (A) any transaction with an Affiliate or a series of related
transactions with Affiliates that are similar or part of a common plan involving

the disinterested directors, has determined that such transaction complies with
the foregoing provisions; or (B) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company enters into a transaction with an Affiliate, or a series of related
transactions with Affiliates have obtained a common plan involving aggregate
payments or other property with a fair market value of more than $20 million,
the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary shall, before the consummation
of the transaction or transactions, have obtained a favorable opinion as to the
fairness of the transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or
the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point
of view, from an independent financial advisor and file the same with the
Trustee.

compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors,
or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors; (ii) any agreement in effect on the Issue
Date and any modified or replacement agreement of an agreement in effect on the

(iii) dividends and distributions approved by the Board of Directors; and (iv)
transactions between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries.

regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of
the Trustee, set forth in Section 7 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of
any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in accordance with Sections
6.6 and 7.1(e) hereof. Subject to Section 7.7 and in accordance with Section 6.5
hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes 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.

     (c) A Default under Section 6.1(a)(ii) above is not an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company and the
Trustee, of the Default, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary of the
Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of such notice.
The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that
the notice is a "Notice of Default" under this Section 6.1. Such notice shall be
given by the

                                       25
<PAGE>

Trustee if so requested by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding. When a Default is cured or waived, it
ceases.

     (d) The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing within five (5)
Business Days of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default in
accordance with Section 4.4(b) hereof.

     (e) For purposes of Section 6.1(a)(viii) and Section 6.1(a)(ix), it shall
not be a Default or Event of Default if such proceedings are commenced or such
orders or decrees are issued solely for the purpose of giving effect to a Change
of Domicile transaction.

     SECTION 6.2  Acceleration.

     (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(a)(viii) or Section 6.1(a)(ix) hereof, with respect to the Company
or any Significant Subsidiaries of the Company) occurs and is continuing either
(i) the Trustee may, by written notice to the Company or (ii)  the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by written
notice to the Company and the Trustee, and upon such request of such Holders,
the Trustee shall (by notice as provided in clause (i) above), declare the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, to be due and payable and,
upon any such declaration the same shall become due and payable; provided
however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on
acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes, may under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such
acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of interest or
accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(viii) or Section 6.1(a)(ix)
hereof, with respect to the Company or any significant Subsidiary of the Company
occurs, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding shall become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

     (b) After a declaration of acceleration has been made, but before a
judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
Trustee, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
Notes outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may annul
such declaration if (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay (i) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee, its agents and
counsel under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7, (ii) all overdue interest on all
Notes, (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest
upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and (iv) principal due
otherwise than by acceleration; and (b) all Events of Default, other than the
nonpayment of principal of the Notes which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any acceleration of payment of the Notes from the failure of the
Company to make an interest payment on the Notes during a Blockage Period (an
"Acceleration Due to Blockage") automatically shall be rescinded if and when the
following conditions are satisfied within five Business Days following the end
of such Blockage Period: (i) the payment in respect of interest on the Notes,
the failure of which gave rise to such Event of Default, is made; and (ii) no
other Event of Default, other than an Event of Default which has occurred solely
as a result of the acceleration of other Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary
prior to its express maturity that was caused solely by an Acceleration Due to
Blockage, shall have occurred and be continuing.

     SECTION 6.3  Other Remedies.

     (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue
any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

     (b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing
upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any
other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by
law.

     SECTION 6.4  Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Subject to Sections 6.7 and 9.2, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all
the Notes waive any past defaults under this Indenture and its consequences,
except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Note, or in respect of a covenant or provision which under this
Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Note outstanding.

     SECTION 6.5  Control by Majority.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it
including, without limitation, any remedies provided for in Section 6.3.
Subject to Section 7.1, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, or that the Trustee determines
may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may involve
the Trustee in personal liability, provided that the Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.

     SECTION 6.6  Limitation on Suits.

     (a) No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding
with respect to this Indenture for any remedy thereunder, unless:

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

           (ii)  the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes will have made written request to the Trustee to
institute such proceeding as trustee;

           (iii) such Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be
incurred in compliance with such request;

           (iv)  the Trustee fails to institute such proceeding within 60 days
after receipt of such request and the offer of reasonable indemnity; and

           (v)   during such 60-day period the Trustee has not received from
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, a
direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the
request.

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

     (c) This Section 6.6 does not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a
Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, premiums, if any, or
interest on such Note or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

     SECTION 6.7  Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, a
Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

     SECTION 6.8  Collection Suit by Trustee.

     If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 6.1 occurs and is
continuing, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and the amounts due
have been accelerated, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the
Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest
remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of
interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Notes, and 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.

     SECTION 6.9  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in
any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Notes, any of their respective creditors or any of their respective property and
shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,
and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to
the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof.  Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding.

     SECTION 6.11   Undertaking for Costs.

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture
or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant
in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good

     (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee,
subject to subparagraph (e) below, shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his or her own affairs.

     (b)  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

this Section 7.1.

<PAGE>

     (e)  No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to (i) expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the

for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it or it does not
receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against such expense,
risk or liability or (ii) take or omit to take any action under this Indenture
or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it does not receive

genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person.  The Trustee
need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

     (b)  Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both.  The Trustee shall not
be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
such Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee may consult with

incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

     SECTION 7.3    Individual Rights of Trustee.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or

     SECTION 7.5    Notice of Defaults.

     If a Default or an Event of Default known to the Trustee occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice of the Default or
Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a
Default in payment on any Note (including the failure to make a mandatory
redemption pursuant hereto), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.  For purposes of Section
6.2, Section 7.1 and this Section 7.5, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such Default or Event of
Default is received by the Trustee and such notice refers to the Notes or this
Indenture.

     SECTION 7.6    Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     (a)  Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following
the date of this Indenture, and for so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the
Trustee shall mail to all Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date
that complies with TIA Section 313(a), if such a report is required pursuant to
TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The
Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section
313(c).

     (b)  Commencing at the time this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, a
copy of each such report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed
with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed. The Company or any other obligor upon the Notes shall promptly notify
the Trustee if the Notes become listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting
thereof.

     SECTION 7.7    Compensation and Indemnity.

     (a)  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.  The
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly
upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or
made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses
shall include reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee's agents and counsel, except as set forth in Section 7.7(d).

     (b)  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors,
employees and agents against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee or such person arising out of or in connection with the offer and sale
of the Notes or the acceptance or administration of its duties under this
Indenture (including but not limited to its services of Registrar and Paying
Agent), including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the
Company (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim
(whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except as set forth in Section 7.7(d).  The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek
indemnity, provided that failure to so notify the Company shall not affect the
Company's indemnity obligations hereunder.

     (c)  The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.7 to compensate
and indemnify the Trustee and its agents and to reimburse the Trustee for its
reasonable expenses shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the
termination of the Company's obligations hereunder and the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture.

     (d)  The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any
loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through negligence or willful
misconduct.

     (e)  The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be
subordinated to the payment of Senior Debt pursuant to Article 11. To secure the
Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien
prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in
its capacity as Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if
any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the resignation
or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
When the Trustee

                                       31
<PAGE>

incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(a)(viii) or Section 6.1(a)(ix) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and
counsel) shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in a proceeding under
any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any Bankruptcy Law.

     SECTION 7.8    Replacement of Trustee.

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

     (b)  The Trustee may resign in writing at any time, in accordance with the
requirements of the TIA, and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the
Company in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of proposed removal,
provided that at such date no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:

          (i)   the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

          (ii)  the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an
order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;

          (iii) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or
its property; or

          (iv)  the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     (c)  If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Company and any other obligor upon the
Notes shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the
successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

     (d)  If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

     (e)  If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a
Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, any
Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (f)  A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to each Noteholder. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing
to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in
Section 7.7. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.8, the Company's obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

     SECTION 7.9    Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

     If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all
or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor
Trustee, provided that such successor is eligible and qualified under this
Article 7.

                                       32

     SECTION 7.10   Eligibility; Disqualification.

     (a)  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a

America or of any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trustee powers, shall be subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

     (b)  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee which satisfies the
requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1).  The Trustee is subject to TIA Section
310(a)(5) concerning inability of a trustee to be a direct or indirect obligor
of the Notes and is subject to TIA Section 310(b) regarding disqualification of
a trustee upon acquiring any conflicting interest. If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in this Article 7. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Trustee from
filing the application in TIA Section 310(b) regarding resignation.

     SECTION 7.11   Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

     The Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, is subject to TIA
Section 311(a), subject to the creditor relationship provisions listed in TIA
Section 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to
TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

     SECTION 7.12   Permitted Transactions.

     (a)  The Trustee shall be limited, should it become a creditor of the
Company, in its ability to obtain payment of claims or to realize on certain
property received by it in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise.

     (b)  The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with the
Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that if it acquires any
conflicting interest, as defined under the TIA, the Trustee must eliminate such
conflict or resign.

                                   ARTICLE 8

                            DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     SECTION 8.1    Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Notes.

     (a)  The Company may, at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with
respect to the Notes, elect to have either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below
be applied to the outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set
forth in paragraph (d).

     (b)  Upon the Company's exercise under paragraph (a) of the option
applicable to this paragraph (b), the Company shall be deemed to have been
released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding
Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
"legal defeasance"). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means that the
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
"outstanding" only for the purposes of the Sections of and matters under this
Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are
concerned, except for the following which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding
Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in paragraph (d) below and
as more fully set forth in such paragraph, payments in respect of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due and

<PAGE>

     (c)  Upon the Company's exercise under paragraph (a) of the option
applicable to this paragraph (c), the Company shall be released and discharged
from its obligations under any covenant contained in Section 5.1 hereof and in
Sections 4.3 through 4.23 hereof (subject to compliance with the Company's
obligations under the TIA), with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after
the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant
defeasance"), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed to be not "outstanding"
for the purpose of any direction, waiver, consent, declaration or act of Holders
(and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but
shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For
this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, 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
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such 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
6.1(a)(iii), nor shall any event referred to in Section 6.1(a)(viii) or Section
6.1(a)(ix) thereafter constitute a Default or an Event of Default thereunder
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes
shall be unaffected thereby.

     (d)  The following shall be the conditions to application of either
paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) above to the outstanding Notes:

such interest and after payment  of all federal, state and local taxes or other
charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee) delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the dates on which any
such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
and of the Notes;

          (ii)  (A) No Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such  deposit, and (B) no Default or Event of Default
under Section 6.1(a)(v) or 6.1(a)(vi) shall occur on or before the  123rd day
after the date of such deposit;

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

          (iv)  No default on any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be
continuing;

          (v)   In the case of a legal defeasance under paragraph (b) above, the

(A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date of this Indenture there has been
a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such  opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the
Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as
a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not
occurred; and, in the case of a covenant defeasance under paragraph (c) above,
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and
defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
and defeasance had not occurred;

          (vi) The Holders shall have a perfected security interest under
applicable law in the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 8.1(d)(i) above or such cash or U.S. Government Obligations shall be
held in irrevocable trust for the benefit of all the Holders;

<PAGE>

          (vii)  The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the

neither the Company, the Trustee nor the trust is an investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, or has been registered as an investment
company; and

          (viii) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent specified herein relating, to the defeasance contemplated by this
Section 8.1 have been complied with; provided, however, that no deposit under
clause (i) above shall be effective to terminate the obligations of the Company
under the Notes or this Indenture prior to 123 days following any such deposit.

     The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the deposit referred
to in Section 8.1(d)(i) hereof does not result in the Company, the Trustee or
the trust becoming or being deemed an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.  In the event that such deposit does result in the Company,
the Trustee or the trust becoming, or being deemed an investment company, the
Company shall bear all related expenses of registration and reporting under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 for the duration of the trust.

     SECTION 8.2    Termination of Obligations Upon Cancellation of the Notes.

     In addition to the Company's rights under Section 8.1 hereof, the Company
may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture and this Indenture
shall cease to be of further effect (subject to Sections 8.3 and 2.7 hereof)
when:

     (a)  either (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other
than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid and the Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been
deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) hereof have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all Notes not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable and the Company has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an
amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of and
premium, if any, on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable
instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the
payment thereof at maturity or redemption as the case may be;

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

     (c)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent specified in this
Section 8 relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been
complied with.

     SECTION 8.3    Survival of Certain Obligations.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the
Notes referred to in Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof, the respective obligations of
the Company and the Trustee, as applicable, under Sections 1.5, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5,
2.6, 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.14, 2.17, 4.1, 4.2, 4.9, 6.7, 7.7, 7.8, 8.5, 8.6,
8.7 and Article 13 hereof shall survive until the Notes are no longer
outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under
Sections 7.7, 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 hereof shall survive. Nothing contained in this
Article 8 shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee as set
forth in this Indenture.

     SECTION 8.4    Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee.

     Subject to Section 8.7 hereof, after (i) the conditions of Sections 8.1 or
8.2 hereof have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid

delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,

<PAGE>

conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, the
Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the
Company's obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving
obligations specified in Section 8.3 hereof.

     SECTION 8.5    Application of Trust Assets.

     The Trustee shall hold any cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited
with it in the irrevocable trust established pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof.
The Trustee shall apply the deposited cash or the U.S. Government Obligations,
together with earnings thereon, through the Paying Agent, in accordance with
this Indenture and the terms of the irrevocable trust agreement established
pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, to the payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes.  The cash or U.S. Government Obligations so held in
trust and deposited with the Trustee in compliance with Section 8.1 hereof,
shall not be part of the trust estate under this Indenture, but shall constitute
a separate trust fund for the benefit of all Holders entitled thereto.

payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that remain
unclaimed for two years after the date on which such payment shall have become
due unless otherwise required by law. After payment to the Company, all
liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such cash or U.S.
Government Obligations shall cease and Holders entitled to such payment must
look to the Company for such payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law expressly provides otherwise.

     SECTION 8.7    Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.1 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such
time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.1, provided that if the
Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
Notes following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the cash or U.S. Government Obligations, and proceeds thereof, held by the
Trustee or the Paying Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 9

                                  AMENDMENTS

     SECTION 9.1    Without Consent of Holders.

          (i)  to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

          (ii) to comply with Article 5 hereof;

                                       36

          (iii) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection
with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA as then in effect;

Section 7.8 hereof; or

          (vi)  to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the
benefit of the Holders and to surrender any right or power herein reserved to
the Company, provided that, in each such case except in the case of clause (v)
above where the Trustee has resigned, the Company has delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers' Certificate, each stating that such
amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of this Section 9.1.

     (b)  Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a Board
Resolution authorizing the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture,
and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6
hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended
or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture
and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be
therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture which affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     SECTION 9.2    With Consent of Holders.

     (a)  Subject to Section 9.2(e), the Company, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee, together, may amend this Indenture or the Notes
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (such consent to be evidenced by an Act of
such Holders in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof). The Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (by an Act
of such Holders in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof), or the Trustee, with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes (such consent to be evidenced by an Act of such Holders in
accordance with Section 1.5 hereof) may, waive compliance in a particular
instance by the Company, any past default under this Indenture or the Notes,
except for as provided in Section 9.2(e)(vii).

     (b)  Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a Board
Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the
Trustee of the consent of the Holders pursuant to Section 9.2(a), and upon
receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6 hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or
supplemental Indenture but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture which affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     (c)  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement, or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

     (d)  After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder affected thereby a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the
Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture
or waiver.

     (e)  Notwithstanding Section 9.2(a), without the consent of each Holder
affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section may not:

          (i)  reduce the percentage stated in Section 9.2(a) of aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes necessary to consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver of this Indenture;

          (ii) reduce the percentage of aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes necessary to consent for waiver of certain defaults provided
for in this Indenture;

                                       37
<PAGE>

          (iii) reduce the principal amount of (or the premium, if any, of) or

          (v)   change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any
installment of interest on, any Note;

          (vi)  impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note;

          (vii) waive a continuing past Default or Event of Default in the
payment of principal of, premium if any, or interest on, the Notes;

          (viii) modify or amend any of the provisions of this Indenture
relating to the subordination of the Notes in a manner adverse to Holders;

          (ix)  modify or amend any of the provisions of this Indenture relating
to the modification and amendment of this Indenture or the waiver of past
defaults or covenants; or

          (x)   following the mailing of an offer with respect to a Change of
Control Offer pursuant to Section 4.17, modify this Indenture with respect to
such Change of Control Offer in a manner adverse to such Holders.

     SECTION 9.3    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

     Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Notes shall
comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.4    Revocation and Effect of Consents.

     (a)  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent
to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as
the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to
his or her Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of
revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective. Any amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance
with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

     (b)  The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any Act of
Holders, including any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is
fixed, then notwithstanding the last two sentences of Section 9.4(a), those
Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies),
and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such Act of Holders,
including an amendment, supplement or waiver, or to revoke any consent
previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such
record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days
after such record date. After an Act of Holders, including an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, unless
it is an amendment, supplement or waiver that makes a change described in
Section 9.2(e), in which case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind
only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder
of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder's Note, provided, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the
right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note,
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates
without the consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 9.5    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

     If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the
Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee.  The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms
and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  Failure to make
the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and
effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

     SECTION 9.6    Trustee to Sign Amendments.

     The Trustee shall sign any amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture
authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, waiver, or supplement
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the
Trustee.  If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it.  In signing or
refusing to sign such amendment, waiver, or supplemental Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully
authorized and protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment, waiver or
supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is
not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the
Company in accordance with its terms.  The Company may not sign any amendment or
supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it.

     SECTION 9.7.  Conformity with TIA.

     Every amendment or supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article
9 shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect.

                                 SUBORDINATION

     SECTION 11.1   Ranking.

     (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.2 and 6.3, the Company
covenants and agrees, and the Trustee and each Holder of the Notes by his or her
acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all payments of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes by the Company shall be
subordinated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11 to the prior
payment in full of all amounts payable under existing and future Senior Debt of
the Company and the Senior Subordinated Notes.

     (b) The Notes shall rank in right of payment junior to all of the Company's
existing and future Senior Debt, including the Credit Facility, and all existing
and future senior subordinated debt.  The Notes will rank in right of payment
senior to any 6.75% Notes.  If the Company issues additional subordinated Debt
in the future, the Notes will rank in right of payment pari passu or junior to
such debt.

     (c) The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company.

     SECTION 11.2   Priority and Payment Over of Proceeds in Certain Events.

     (a) Subordination on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of the
Company.

                                       39
<PAGE>

     In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any
receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in
connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its assets, or any
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary
or involuntary, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other
marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company (except in connection with
the consolidation or merger of the Company or its liquidation or dissolution
following the conveyance, transfer or lease of its properties substantially as
an entirety, upon the terms and conditions described under Article 5 hereof),
all Senior Debt due and owing (including, in the case of Designated Senior Debt
and Senior Debt under the Credit Facility, interest accruing after the
commencement of any such case or proceeding at the rate specified in the
instrument evidencing such Senior Debt, whether or not a claim therefor is
allowed in such proceeding, to the date of payment of such Senior Debt) and
payment on the Senior Subordinated Notes must be paid in full before any payment
or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character is made on
account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, including
repurchase, purchase,  redemption or other acquisition of the Notes. Before any
payment may be made by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Notes, and upon any such dissolution or winding up or
liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of assets or
securities of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, to which the Holders or the Trustee on their behalf would be
entitled, except for the provisions of this Article 11, shall be made by the
Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or
other person making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of the
Senior Debt of the Company or any Senior Representative thereof to the extent
necessary to pay all such Senior Debt in full after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.

     (b) Subordination on Default in Senior Debt and/or the Senior Subordinated
Notes.

            (i)   During the continuance of any default in the payment when due
of principal of, reimbursement obligation under, premium, if any, or interest
on, any Senior Debt and/or the Senior Subordinated Notes, including without
limitation any default in the payment when due of any commitment or facility
fees, letter of credit fees or agency fees under the Credit Facility, or any
default in payment when due of any reimbursement obligation of the Company with
respect to any letter of credit issued under the Credit Facility (a "Senior
Payment Default"), no direct or indirect payment or distribution of any assets
of the Company of any kind or character may be made on account of the principal
of, premium, if any, interest on, or other amounts payable in respect of, the
Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of or in
respect of the Notes unless and until such Senior Payment Default has been
cured, waived or has ceased to exist or such Senior Debt shall have been
discharged or paid in full or when the right under this Indenture to prevent any
such payment is waived by or on behalf of the holders of such Senior Debt.

            (ii)  During the continuance of any default (other than a Senior
Payment Default) with respect to the Credit Facility or any Designated Senior
Debt, the occurrence of which entitles, or with the giving of notice or lapse of
time (or both) would entitle, one or more Persons to accelerate the maturity
thereof (a "Senior Nonmonetary Default") pursuant to which the Trustee and the
Company have received from the agent bank for the Credit Facility or from any
authorized person on behalf of any Designated Senior Debt a written notice of
such Senior Nonmonetary Default, no direct or indirect payment or distribution
of any assets of the Company of any kind or character may be made on account of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or other amounts payable in
respect of, the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition of, or in respect of, the Notes for the period specified below (the
"Blockage Period").

            (iii) The Blockage Period shall commence upon the receipt of notice
of a Senior Nonmonetary Default by the Trustee and the Company and shall end
(subject to any blockage of payment that may be in effect in respect of a Senior
Payment Default or insolvency) on the earlier of (A) 179 days after the receipt
of such notice, provided such Senior Debt shall not theretofore have been
accelerated and no Senior Payment Default shall be in effect; (B) the date on
which such Senior Nonmonetary Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist or
such Senior Debt is discharged or paid in full. In no event will a Blockage
Period extend beyond 179 days from the date of the receipt by the Trustee and
the Company of the notice initiating such Blockage Period. Any number of notices
of a Senior Nonmonetary Default may be given during a Blockage Period, provided,
that no such notice shall extend such Blockage Period, only one Blockage Period
may be commenced within any 360-day period and there shall be a period of at
least 181 consecutive days in each period of 360 consecutive days when no
Blockage Period is in effect. No Senior Nonmonetary Default with respect to
Senior Debt that existed or was continuing on the date of the

                                       40
<PAGE>

commencement of any Blockage Period and that was known to the holders of or the
Senior Representative for such Senior Debt will be, or can be, made the basis
for the commencement of a subsequent Blockage Period, whether or not within a
period of 360 consecutive days, unless such Senior Nonmonetary Default has been
cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. The Company
shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee promptly after the date on
which any Senior Nonmonetary Default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or on
which the Senior Debt related thereto is discharged or paid in full.

     (c) Rights and Obligations of Holders of Notes and Trustee.

            (i)    In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
prohibiting such payment or distribution, the Trustee or any Holder shall have
received any payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Notes at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Section
11.2 and before the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Senior Debt
is paid in full, then and in such event (subject to the provisions of Section
11.8) such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the
holders of Senior Debt and shall be paid over or delivered (A) to the trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, receiver, Custodian, assignee, agent or other
person making any such payment or distribution of assets of the Company, or (B)
in the event that no such trustee or other person under clause (A) has been
appointed, then to the holders of the Senior Debt (or to their Senior
Representatives in the case of Designated Senior Debt) remaining unpaid promptly
at the written direction of such holders of Senior Debt or their designees to
the extent necessary for application to the payment in full of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such Senior Debt in accordance with its terms
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of
such Senior Debt.

            (ii)   Nothing contained in this Article 11 will limit the right of
the Trustee or the Holders of Notes to take any action to accelerate the
maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof or to pursue any rights or
remedies hereunder against the Company, provided, that, to the extent provided
in this Article 11, all Senior Debt of the Company then or thereafter due or
declared to be due shall first be paid in full before the Holders or the Trustee
are entitled to receive any payment from the Company of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Notes.

            (iii)  Upon any payment or distribution of assets or Notes referred
to in this Article 11, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely
upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending,
and upon any certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating
trustee, agent or other person making any such payment or distribution delivered
to the Trustee, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other Debt of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article
11. In the absence of such order, decree or certificate, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be entitled to request and rely upon an Officers' Certificate from
the Company. The Company shall provide to the Trustee, in the form of an
Officers' Certificate, the names and addresses of the holders of such Senior
Debt, the amount of the Senior Debt outstanding to each such holder of Senior
Debt and any necessary information to calculate the daily increase in
indebtedness to such holders of Senior Debt. The Trustee shall be entitled to
rely conclusively on any such order, decree or certificate (including any such
Officers' Certificate) in making any disbursements to the holders of Senior
Debt, without making any independent verification of the information contained
therein.

     (d) The subordination provisions of this Section 11.2 shall cease to apply
to the Notes upon any defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Notes pursuant to
Article 8 hereof.

     SECTION 11.3  Payments May Be Made Prior to Notice.

     Nothing contained in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall
prevent (i) the Company, except under the conditions described in Section 11.2
hereof, from making payments at any time of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, the Notes, or from depositing with the Trustee any monies for such
payments or (ii) the application by the Trustee of any monies deposited with it
for the purpose of making such payments of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, the Notes, to the Holders entitled thereto, unless by noon Eastern
time one Business Day prior to the date upon which such payment would otherwise
(except for the prohibitions contained in Section 11.2 hereof) become due and
payable, the Trustee shall have received the written notice provided for in

                                       41
<PAGE>

Section 11.2(b) hereof (or there shall have been an acceleration of the Notes
prior to such application), subject to Section 11.8 hereof.

     SECTION 11.4   Rights of Holders of Senior Debt Not to Be Impaired.

     (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce
subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act in good faith by any such holder, or by
any noncompliance by the Company with the terms and provisions and covenants
herein, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or
otherwise be charged with.

     (b) The provisions of this Article 11 are intended to be for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable directly by, the holders of Senior Debt.

     SECTION 11.5   Authorization to Trustee to Take Action to Effectuate
Subordination.

     Each Holder of Notes by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and
directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Senior Debt and the
Holders, the subordination as provided in this Article 11 and appoints the
Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     SECTION 11.6   Subrogation.

     (a) Subject to the payment in full of all amounts payable under or in
respect of Senior Debt, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the
holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of assets of
the Company made on such Senior Debt until the Notes shall be paid in full in
cash; and for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to
holders of such Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which Holders
of the Notes would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 11, and
no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11 to holders of such
Senior Debt by the Holders, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other
than holders of such Senior Debt and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by
the Company to or on account of such Senior Debt, it being understood that the
provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the holders of such Senior Debt, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand.

     (b) If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would otherwise
have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article 11 shall have been
applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11, to the payment of all
amounts payable under the Senior Debt, then and in such case, the Holders shall
be entitled to receive from the holders of such Senior Debt at the time
outstanding any payments or distributions received by such holders of Senior
Debt in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable under or in
respect of such Senior Debt in full.

     SECTION 11.7   Obligations of Company Unconditional.

     (a) Nothing contained in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in any Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the
Holders, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional to
pay to the Holders the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes
as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their
terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and
creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall
anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon Default under this
Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 11 of the holders
of such Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or Notes of the Company
received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

     (b) The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article 11
shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default under
Section 6.1.

                                       42
<PAGE>

     SECTION 11.8   The Trustee Entitled to Assume Payments Not Prohibited in
Absence of Notice.

     The Trustee or Paying Agent shall not at any time be charged with the
knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any
payment to or by the Trustee or Paying Agent, unless and until the Trustee or
Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or one
or more holders of Senior Debt or from any trustee or agent therefor, including
Senior Representatives and/or the trustee for the Senior Subordinated Notes;
and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee or Paying
Agent shall be entitled to assume conclusively that no such facts exist. Unless
by noon Eastern time one Business Day prior to the date on which by the terms of
this Indenture any monies are to be deposited by the Company with the Trustee or
any Paying Agent (whether or not in trust) for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest
on, any Note), the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have received with respect to
such monies the notice provided for in the preceding sentence, the Trustee or
Paying Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to
apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after
such date, except for an acceleration of the Notes prior to such application.
The foregoing shall not apply to the Paying Agent if the Company is acting as
Paying Agent. Nothing contained in this Section 11.8 shall limit the right of
the holders of Senior Debt to recover payments as contemplated by Section 11.2
hereof. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written
notice by a person representing himself or itself to be a holder of such Senior
Debt (or a trustee on behalf of, or other representative of, such holder,
including Senior Representatives) to establish that such notice has been given
by a holder of such Senior Debt or a trustee on behalf of any such holder.
Nothing in this Article 11 shall apply to amounts due the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.7 hereof.

     SECTION 11.9   Right of Trustee to Hold Senior Debt.

     The Trustee and any agent (including Senior Representatives) for the
holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this
Article 11 in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it to the same
extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture
shall be construed to deprive the Trustee or any agent for the holders of Senior
Debt of any of its rights as such holder.

     SECTION 11.10  No Implied Covenants by or Obligations of the Trustee.

     With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to
perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article 11, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this
Article 11 against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have any
fiduciary duty to the holders of the Senior Debt.

                                  ARTICLE 12

                       MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF THE NOTES

     (b) At any meeting of Holders, the presence of Persons holding or

appropriate provision of this Indenture to take action upon the business for the
transaction of which such meeting was called shall constitute a quorum. Any
meetings of Holders duly called pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof may be adjourned
from time to time by vote of the Holders (or proxies for the Holders) of a
majority of the Notes represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, whether

the Interest Payment date] [If Global Note: (to the bearer hereof)] on each
April 1 and October 1 of each year. Interest on the Notes will accrue effective
from April 1, 2001, provided that the first interest payment date shall be in
cash on October 1, 2001 and thereafter from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid. Interest on the Notes will continue to accrue at the
rate of 10% per annum in the event of overdue principal, premium or interest, if

months.

     2.   Method of Payment. Prior to Maturity, the Company shall irrevocably
deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money in immediately available
funds sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest. The
Paying Agent shall pay from such monies interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of
business on the record date next preceding the interest payment date, [If
Physical Note: (to Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on

interest payment date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal,
the Company shall make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Note to a
Paying Agent on or after April 1, 2008. Subject to the foregoing, each Note
delivered under the Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. The Holder must
surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company
shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States
that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts. [If Global Note: Payments in respect of Notes represented by global notes
(including principal, premium, interest and defaulted interest, if any) shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified
by the bearer hereof.] [If Physical Note: With respect to Physical Notes, the
Company will make all payments of principal, premium, interest and defaulted
interest, if any by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the U.S.
dollar accounts maintained by the Holders with banks in the United States, or,
if no such account is designated by any Holder to the Trustee or the Paying
Agent at least 30 days prior to the relevant due date for payment (or such other
date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion), by mailing a check to the
registered address of such Holder.] If a payment date is a date other than a
Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the
intervening period. The Company, at its option, may pay principal, premium, if
any, and interest by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder's registered
address or at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in
the City of New York.

authenticating agent, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any
authenticating agent, Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. Banque

Company contained in the Notes or the Indenture and such failure continues for
30 days after the notice specified below; (5) the Company fails to perform or
comply with the provisions described under Article 5 or Section 4.15 of the
Indenture; (6) the occurrence of a default under any Debt of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company if both (A) the default either results from failure to
pay any such Debt at its Stated Maturity and (B) the principal amount of such
Debt, together with, the principal amount of any other such Debt in default for
failure to pay principal at the Stated Maturity of the maturity of which has
been accelerated and aggregated at least $25 million or more at any one time
outstanding; (7) the rendering of a final judgment or judgments (not subject to

outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable as provided in
the Indenture, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes become due and
payable immediately without further action or notice. The Trustee may require
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee before it enforces the
Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Company must furnish an annual compliance
certificate to the Trustee. The Company must also furnish a notice of any
Default (as provided in the Indenture) to the Trustee within five business days
after such occurrence.

     15.  Trustee Dealings with Company.  Subject to certain limitations, the
Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make
loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its
Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it
were not Trustee.

     16.  No Recourse Against Others.  A director, officer, employee or
stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

     17.  Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by
the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

     18.  Abbreviations.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and

     19.  Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money
over to the Company, unless otherwise required by law. After that, Holders
entitled to money must look to the Company for payment, unless otherwise
required by law.

     20.  Discharge Prior to Maturity.  If the Company irrevocably deposits with
the Trustee or Paying Agent in trust cash or U.S. Government Obligations

discharged from the Indenture except for certain Sections thereof.

obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, such
predecessor shall be released from those obligations.

          (1) a term has the meaning assigned to it;

          (2) "or" is not exclusive;

          (3) "including" means including without limitation; and

          (4) words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural

                                  ARTICLE II
                       Global Note, Depositary Interests
                       ---------------------------------

     SECTION 2.01.  Deposit of the Global Note. The Book-Entry Depositary hereby
accepts custody of the Global Note from the Trustee and shall act as Book-Entry
Depositary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Book-Entry
Depositary shall hold such Global Note at its Corporate Trust Office or at such
place or places as it shall determine with the consent of the Issuer and shall
issue the Depositary Interests in accordance with the Letter of Representations.
In the event that the Issuer shall issue and execute, and the Trustee, upon the
order of the Issuer, shall authenticate any additional Global Note, the Book-
Entry Depositary shall hold each such Global Note at its Corporate Trust Office
or at such place or places as it shall determine with the consent of the Issuer
and shall issue the Depositary Interest in such Global Note to the Depositary in
accordance with the Letter of Representations.

     SECTION 2.02.  Book-Entry System. (a) Upon acceptance by DTC of the
Depositary Interests for entry into its book-entry settlement system in
accordance with the terms of the Letter of Representations, Book-Entry Interests
shall be issued by DTC and traded through DTC's book-entry system, and ownership
of such Book-Entry Interests shall be shown in, and the transfer of such
ownership shall be effected only through, a book-entry system maintained by (i)
DTC or its successors or (ii) Participants. DTC shall treat the holders of Book-
Entry Interests and their successors as the absolute owners of the Depositary
Interests for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, the Book-Entry Depositary or any
agent of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Book-Entry Depositary from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or impair, as between the Book-Entry Depositary and the Depositary
and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary
governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any
Global Note or Depositary Interest.

          (b) The Depositary Interests shall be issuable only to DTC, or
successors of DTC or their respective nominees. Except as provided in Section
2.05 hereof and Article 2 of the Indenture, no owner of beneficial interests in
such Depositary Interests shall be entitled to receive a Registered Note on
account of such beneficial interest, and such beneficial owner's

                                       3
<PAGE>

interest therein shall be shown only in accordance with the procedures of DTC as
set forth in the Letter of Representations.

     SECTION 2.03.  Registration of Transfer of Depositary Interests. (a) The
Issuer appoints the Book-Entry Depositary as its agent to maintain at the
Corporate Trust Office a register (the "Book-Entry Register") in which the Book-
Entry Depositary shall (i) record the Depositary as the initial registered owner
of the Depositary Interests and (ii) record the registration and transfer of the
Depositary Interests. No Depositary Interest can be transferred unless such
transfer is recorded on the Book-Entry Register. The Book-Entry Depositary shall
not constitute the agent of the Issuer for any other purpose and, in particular,
it shall not constitute the agent of the Issuer in relation to any payments it
may make to owners of Depositary Interests, or to be authorized to undertake any
obligations on behalf of the Issuer.

          (b) With respect to any Global Note, clause (a) of this Section 2.03
shall not (i) impose an obligation on the Book-Entry Depositary to record the
interests in or transfers of Book-Entry Interests held by institutions that have
accounts with DTC or its successors or Persons that may hold Book-Entry
Interests through such institutions or (ii) restrict transfers of such Book-
Entry Interests held by such institutions or Persons. The Book-Entry Depositary
shall treat the Depositary or its nominee as the absolute owner of the
Depositary Interests for all purposes whatsoever and shall not be bound or
affected by any notice to the contrary, other than an order of a court having
jurisdiction over the Book-Entry Depositary.

     SECTION 2.04.  Transfer and Exchange of Book-Entry Interests. The transfer
and exchange of Book-Entry Interests shall be effected in accordance with this
Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the procedures (the "Applicable
Procedures") of the Depositary and the Book-Entry Depositary. A transferor of a
Book-Entry Interest shall deliver a written order (which shall contain the
information required by the Applicable Procedures and any additional information
required by the Book-Entry Depositary) given in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the
Depositary to be credited with a Book-Entry Interest and such account shall be
credited in accordance with such instructions with a Book-Entry Interest and the
account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to
the Book-Entry Interest being transferred.

     SECTION 2.05.  Transfer of Global Note and Depositary Interests;
Termination. The Book-Entry Depositary shall hold the Global Note in custody for
the benefit of the Depositary. The Book-Entry Depositary shall not transfer or
lend the Global Note or any interest therein except that (i) the Global Note may
be exchanged or replaced pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 2.10 of the Indenture,
(ii) the Global Note may be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant
to Section 2.14 of the Indenture and (iii) the Global Note may be transferred to
a successor Book-Entry Depositary with the prior written consent of the Issuer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary may not under any circumstances
request the Book-Entry Depositary to surrender or deliver the Global Note.

     If the Book-Entry Depositary notifies the Issuer and the Trustee in writing
under Section 3.08 hereof that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Book-
Entry Depositary and no successor Book-Entry Depositary has been appointed by
the Issuer within 90 days of such notification, then the Book-Entry Depositary
shall promptly notify the Trustee and request the Trustee to

                                       4
<PAGE>

issue Registered Notes in such names and denominations as the Depositary shall
specify in writing in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Indenture and the Book-
Entry Depositary agrees that in such event it shall promptly surrender the
Global Note to the Trustee in connection with such exchange and that such Global
Note shall be canceled upon issuance of such Registered Notes.

     If DTC notifies the Issuer or the Book-Entry Depositary in writing that it
or its nominee is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary with respect to
any or all of the Depositary Interests or if at any time it or its nominee is
unable to or ceases to be a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and, in
either case, a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the
Exchange Act is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days, then the Book-Entry
Depositary shall promptly notify the Trustee and request the Trustee to issue
Registered Notes with respect to the Global Note in such names and denominations
as the Depositary shall specify in writing in accordance with Section 2.8 of the
Indenture and the Book-Entry Depositary agrees that in such event it shall
promptly surrender the Global Note to the Trustee in connection with such
exchange and that such Global Note shall be canceled upon issuance of such
Registered Notes.

     If at any time the Issuer, subject to and in compliance with Section 2.8 of
the Indenture, determines that the Global Note should be exchanged, in whole but
not in part, for Registered Notes, then the Issuer shall promptly notify the
Trustee and the Book-Entry Depositary and request the Trustee to issue
Registered Notes with respect to the Global Note in such names and denominations
as the Depositary shall specify in writing in accordance with Section 2.8 of the
Indenture and the Book-Entry Depositary agrees that in such event it shall
promptly surrender the Global Note to the Trustee in connection with such
exchange and that such Global Note shall be canceled upon issuance of such
Registered Notes. In no event will definitive Notes in bearer form be issued.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Book-Entry Depositary
shall, at the request of the Holder of a Depositary Interest, promptly deliver
the Global Note to the Trustee and request that the Trustee exchange all or part
of such Global Note for one or more Registered Notes registered as specified by
the Holder and endorse Schedule A to such Global Note to reflect the reduction
in principal amount of such Global Note resulting from such exchange; provided
that the principal amount at maturity of such Registered Notes and of such
Global Note after such exchange shall be $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

     Upon the issuance of Registered Notes in exchange for the entire principal
amount of Notes, this Agreement will terminate.

     SECTION 2.06.  Cancellation. If the Global Note is surrendered for payment,
or for redemption or purchase of Notes evidenced thereby or in exchange for
Registered Notes, then such Global Note shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee notwithstanding the first paragraph of Section 2.05
hereof, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     SECTION 2.07.  Payments in Respect of the Global Note. (a) Except for
payments made pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer,
whenever the Book-Entry Depositary shall receive from the Trustee (or other
paying agent under the Indenture) any

                                       5
<PAGE>

payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on
the Global Note, such payments shall be distributed promptly to the Depositary
on the payment date for the Global Note.

          (b)  Whenever the Book-Entry Depositary shall receive from the Trustee
(or other paying agent under the Indenture) any payment of the principal of, and
premium, if any, on the Global Note pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Net
Proceeds Offer by the Issuer, the Book-Entry Depositary shall distribute such
payment to the Depositary for the accounts of holders of Book-Entry Interests
who elected to have Book-Entry Interests repurchased pursuant to such Change of
Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer.

          (c)  So long as DTC or its nominee is the Depositary, payments
pursuant to Section 2.07(a) and 2.07(b) hereof with respect to the Global Note
shall be made in accordance with the Letter of Representations. In the event
that DTC or its nominee shall cease to be the Depositary, such payments shall be
made according to procedures agreed between the Book-Entry Depositary and the
successor Depositary, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer.

          (d)  The Book-Entry Depositary shall forward to the Issuer or its
agents at the Issuer's cost and expense such information from its records as the
Issuer may reasonably request to enable the Issuer or its agents to file
necessary reports with governmental agencies, and the Book-Entry Depositary, the
Issuer or its agents may (but shall not be required to) file any such reports
necessary to obtain benefits under any applicable tax treaties for the
Depositary or the holders of Book-Entry Interests.

     SECTION 2.08.  Changes in Principal Amount of the Global Note.  (a) In the
event that the Issuer exercises any right of redemption in respect of any Notes
constituting a part of the Global Note or purchases any Notes constituting a
part of the Global Note pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds
Offer, the Book-Entry Depositary shall, promptly upon receipt of the redemption
price or purchase price, deliver the Global Note to the Trustee (i) and request
the Trustee to endorse on such Global Note to reflect the reduction in the
principal amount of such Global Note as a result of such redemption or purchase
or (ii) in exchange for a Global Note with a principal amount that represents
only the portion of such Global Note not so redeemed or purchased. The
redemption price or purchase price in connection with the redemption of a
portion of such Global Note shall be equal to the amount received by the Book-
Entry Depositary in respect of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Notes so redeemed or repurchased.

          (b)  Pursuant to Article 2 of the Indenture, upon written notice from
the Trustee to the Book-Entry Depositary of an increase or decrease in the
aggregate principal amount of the Global Note, the Book-Entry Depositary shall
enter or cause to be entered in the Book-Entry Register a corresponding increase
or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the Depositary Interest
corresponding to such Global Note and shall notify the Depositary of such
change.

     SECTION 2.09.  Record Date.  Whenever any payment is to be made in respect
of the Global Note or the Book-Entry Depositary shall receive written notice of
any action to be taken

                                       6
<PAGE>

by the Depositary, or whenever the Book-Entry Depositary otherwise deems it
appropriate in respect of any other matter, the Book-Entry Depositary shall fix
a record date for the determination of the holders of the Depositary Interests
who shall be entitled to receive payment in respect of the Depositary Interests
or to take any such action or to act in respect of any such matter and such
record date shall be unless otherwise impracticable the record date as would be
set under the Indenture if such securities were Registered Notes. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, only the Depositary which is registered on the
Book-Entry Register at the close of business on such record date shall be
entitled to receive any such payment, to give instructions as to such action or
to act in respect of any such matter.

     The Depositary shall be entitled to rely on such record date as the date of
determination for purposes of further distribution of the payments disbursed,
and so long as DTC or its nominee is the Depositary, such record date applicable
to the Depositary shall comply with the requirements of the Letter of
Representations.

     SECTION 2.10.  Action in Respect of the Depositary Interests.  (a) As soon
as practicable after receipt by the Book-Entry Depositary of written notice from
the Issuer of any solicitation of consents or request for a waiver or other
action by the Depositary under this Agreement or the Indenture, the Book-Entry
Depositary shall mail to the Depositary a notice containing (i) such information
as is contained in such notice, (ii) a statement that the holder of the
Depositary Interest at the close of business on a specified record date
(established in accordance with Section 2.09 hereof) will be entitled, subject
to the provisions of or governing the Global Note and the Depositary Interest,
to instruct the Book-Entry Depositary as to the consent, waiver or other action,
if any, pertaining to the Global Note and (iii) a statement as to the manner in
which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of the Depositary
received on or before the date established by the Book-Entry Depositary for such
purpose, the Book-Entry Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable and
permitted under the provisions of or governing the Global Note and the
Depositary Interest to take such action regarding the requested consent, waiver
or other action in respect of the Global Note in accordance with any
instructions set forth in such request. The Book-Entry Depositary shall not
itself exercise any discretion in the granting of consents or waivers or the
taking of any other action in respect of the Global Note and, as holder of the
Global Note, the Book-Entry Depositary promptly shall give such consents or
waivers and direct such action to be taken with respect to the Global Note as
the Depositary had given or had taken.

          (b)  As soon as practicable after receipt by the Book-Entry Depositary
of a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer with respect to the Global
Note, the Book-Entry Depositary shall mail to the Depositary a notice containing
(i) such information as is contained in such notice, (ii) a statement that the
holder of the Depositary Interest at the close of business on a specified record
date (established in accordance with Section 2.09 hereof) will be entitled,
subject to the provisions of or governing the Global Note and the Depositary
Interest, to elect to have all or any portion of their interest in the Global
Note represented by the Depositary Interest repurchased in accordance with such
Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer and (iii) such documentation
provided by the Issuer as is necessary for the Depositary to elect to have all
or any portion of the Depositary Interest repurchased pursuant to such Change of
Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer. So long as DTC or its nominee is acting as
Depositary, such notice shall also comply with the Letter of Representations.
Upon receipt of elections relating to such

                                       7
<PAGE>

Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds Offer from the Depositary received on or
before the date established by the Issuer for such purpose, the Book-Entry
Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under the
provisions of or governing the Depositary Interest and the Global Note to tender
the Global Note or portions thereof requested to be tendered by the Depositary
for repurchase in accordance with such Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds
Offer. The Book-Entry Depositary shall not itself exercise any discretion in the
tender of any Global Note pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Net Proceeds
Offer.

          (c)  As soon as practicable after receipt by the Book-Entry Depositary
of any notice of redemption with respect to the Global Note pursuant to Article
2 of the Indenture, the Book-Entry Depositary shall mail to the Depositary a
notice containing (i) such information as is contained in such notice and (ii) a
statement that the Depositary Interest must be surrendered to the Paying Agent
in order to collect the Redemption Price. So long as DTC or its nominee is
acting as Depositary, such notice shall also comply with the Letter of
Representations.

          (d)  The Depositary may direct the Book-Entry Depositary in writing to
direct the Trustee as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Global Note or
exercising any power conferred on the Trustee and the Book-Entry Depositary
shall endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under the provisions of or
governing the Global Note and the Depositary Interest to direct the Trustee to
take such action. However, the Book-Entry Depositary may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law, the Indenture or this Agreement, that may
involve the Book-Entry Depositary in personal liability.

     SECTION 2.11.  Changes Affecting the Global Note.  Upon any
reclassification of the Global Note, or upon any recapitalization,
reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets affecting the Issuer
or to which the Issuer is a party, any securities that shall be received by the
Book-Entry Depositary in exchange for or in respect of the Global Note shall be
treated as a new Global Note under this Agreement and the Depositary Interest
shall thenceforth represent such new securities so received; provided, however,
that any security issued in exchange for or in respect of the Global Note under
such circumstances shall not be deemed to be a new security if the Issuer
delivers to the Book-Entry Depositary an Opinion of Counsel, to the effect that
the recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale of assets,
as appropriate, did not result in the creation of a security materially
different from that represented by such Global Note.

     SECTION 2.12.  Surrender of the Global Note.  In the event of the
redemption, payment or purchase in full of all the Notes represented by the
Global Note, then the Global Note shall become void and the Book-Entry
Depositary shall surrender such Global Note to the Trustee for cancellation. In
the event of a partial redemption of the Notes represented by the Global Note,
the Book-Entry Depositary shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.08
hereof.

     SECTION 2.13.  Reports.  The Book-Entry Depositary shall promptly send to
the Depositary any notices, reports and other communications received from the
Issuer that are received by the Book-Entry Depositary as holder of the Global
Note.

     SECTION 2.14.  Additional Amounts.  All payments made by the Book-Entry
Depositary pursuant to this Agreement shall be made without deduction or
withholding for, or on

                                       8
<PAGE>

account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental
charges of whatever nature (collectively, "Taxes") imposed or levied by or on
behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision thereof or any
authority having power to tax therein (each a "U.K. Tax Authority"), unless the
withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any such
deduction or withholding shall at any time be required on any distributions in
respect of the Depositary Interest by the Book-Entry Depositary to the holder of
the Depositary Interest (the "Holder") of any payments in respect of principal,
redemption price, interest, liquidated damages or premium on the Global Note,
the Book-Entry Depositary agrees that it shall pay or cause to be paid such
additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as may be necessary in order that
the net amounts received in respect of such payments by the Holder, after such
deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts specified in the Indenture to
which the Holder is entitled (subject to the limitations contained in the
Indenture, such limitations to be applied for these purposes by treating the
owner of any interest in the Depositary Interest as a holder or beneficial owner
for purposes of the Indenture). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
provided above, the Book-Entry Depositary shall pay or cause to be paid any
Additional Amounts only out of funds that shall be received by it from the
Issuer for that purpose.

     At least 10 days prior to the first date on which payment of principal, and
premium (if any) on the Depositary Interest is to be made, and at least 10 days
prior to any subsequent such date if there has been any change with respect to
the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Issuer
will furnish the Book-Entry Depositary with an Officers' Certificate instructing
the Book-Entry Depositary whether such payment of principal, and premium (if
any), on the Depositary Interest shall be made to the Holder without withholding
for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge. If any
such withholding shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall
specify the amount required to be withheld on such payments to the Holder and
certify that the Issuer has paid or shall pay such amounts withheld to the
appropriate governmental authority or authorities. The Book-Entry Depositary
shall have no responsibility for determining whether the Holder or any owner of
a Book-Entry Interest is entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts in
accordance with the preceding paragraph, but shall be entitled to rely
conclusively for this purpose on an Officers' Certificate or on certifications
from the Depositary, which need only specify the amount of Additional Amounts
payable to the Holder, net of amounts to which the Holder or any owner of a
Book-Entry Interest is not entitled in accordance with the preceding paragraph.
The Issuer shall indemnify the Book-Entry Depositary for, and hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence
or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or
omitted by it in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished to it pursuant
to this Section 2.14.

                                  ARTICLE III
                           The Book-Entry Depositary
                           -------------------------

     SECTION 3.01.  Certain Duties and Responsibilities.  (a) The Book-Entry
Depositary undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement and shall not be deemed a fiduciary of
the Depositary or any beneficial owner of a Depositary Interest.

                                       9
<PAGE>

          (b)  No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Book-Entry Depositary from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its
own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own bad faith or willful
misconduct, except that:

          (1)  the duties and obligations of the Book-Entry Depositary with
     respect to the Global Note and the Depositary Interest shall be determined
     solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and neither the Book-
     Entry Depositary nor its officers, directors, employees and agents shall be
     liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
     specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or
     obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Book-Entry
     Depositary; and

          (2)  in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Book-Entry
     Depositary may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
     correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
     opinions furnished to the Book-Entry Depositary (including an Officers'
     Certificate) and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

          (c)  The Book-Entry Depositary shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Book-Entry
Depositary, unless it shall be proved that the Book-Entry Depositary was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

          (d)  The Book-Entry Depositary shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
written direction of the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.10(d) hereof relating
to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Book-Entry Depositary, or exercising any power conferred upon
the Book-Entry Depositary, under this Agreement.

          (e)  No provision of this Agreement will require the Book-Entry
Depositary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

          (f)  Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Book-Entry Depositary shall be subject to the
provisions of this Article III.

          (g)  The Book-Entry Depositary owes no fiduciary duties to any person
by virtue of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

     SECTION 3.02.  Notice of Default.  The Book-Entry Depositary shall promptly
after being notified of an Event of Default by the Trustee, transmit by mail to
the Depositary in the manner provided in Section 4.02, notice of such Event of
Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

     SECTION 3.03.  Certain Rights of Book-Entry Depositary.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.01 hereof:

          (a)  the Book-Entry Depositary may conclusively 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, security, or other

                                      10
<PAGE>

paper or document delivered to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties;

          (b)  any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, Issuer Order
or Issuer Request, and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer
may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

          (c)  the Book-Entry Depositary may consult with counsel and the advice
of such counsel confirmed in writing or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon in accordance
with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

          (d)  the Book-Entry Depositary shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or
document;

          (e)  the Book-Entry Depositary may execute any of the powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys and the Book-Entry Depositary shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed
with due care;

          (f)  the Book-Entry Depositary shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the
request, order or direction of the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement, unless
the Depositary shall have offered or caused to be offered to the Book-Entry
Depositary security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction, provided that such request, order or direction shall
not expose the Book-Entry Depositary to personal liability ;

          (g)  the Book-Entry Depositary shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;

          (h)  whenever in the administration of its duties under this Agreement
the Book-Entry Depositary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be
proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the
part of the Book-Entry Depositary, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Book-Entry Depositary,
and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of
the Book-Entry Depositary, shall be full warrant to the Book-Entry Depositary
for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of the
Agreement, upon the faith thereof; and

          (i)  payments in respect of the Depositary Interest will only be made
to the extent of any amounts actually received by the Book-Entry Depositary from

respect of the Global Note and the Issuer shall have sole liability therefor.
The Book-Entry Depositary may own and deal in any class of securities of the
Issuer and its affiliates and in the Notes or the Depositary Interest. The Book-
Entry Depositary shall not have any duty or responsibility in case of any
default by the Issuer in the performance of its covenants or agreements
contained in any of the Notes or in the case of receipt of any written demand
from the holder of the Depositary Interest with respect to such default except
for contacting the Trustee to forward any notice or demand from the holder of
the Depositary Interest to the Trustee.

     SECTION 3.04.  Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.  The
Book-Entry Depositary assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any
recitals contained in the Indenture or in the Notes. The Book-Entry Depositary
makes no representation and has no liability as to (i) the validity or
sufficiency of the Indenture or of the Notes, (ii) the sufficiency of this
Agreement, (iii) the validity, with respect to the Issuer, of this Agreement or
(iv) the performance and observance by the Issuer and the Trustee of their
respective obligations in respect of the Notes. The Book-Entry Depositary shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the proceeds with

     SECTION 3.05.  Money Held in Trust.  Money held by the Book-Entry

received by it hereunder, except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Issuer.
Any interest accrued on funds deposited with the Book-Entry Depositary under
this Agreement shall be paid to the Issuer from time to time and the Depositary

     SECTION 3.06.  Compensation and Reimbursement.  The Issuer agrees:

          (a)  to pay to the Book-Entry Depositary from time to time
compensation agreed in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder

expenses and disbursements relating thereto));

          (b)  to reimburse the Book-Entry Depositary upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Book-
Entry Depositary in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance that may be
attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

          (c)  to indemnify the Book-Entry Depositary for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross
negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and its duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or
investigating any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

          The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and
indemnify the Book-Entry Depositary and to pay or reimburse the Book-Entry
Depositary for reasonable

                                      12
<PAGE>

expenses, disbursements and advances shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the earlier of the resignation or removal of the Book-Entry
Depositary. Such obligations shall be a senior claim to that of the Notes and
Depositary Interests upon all property and funds held or collected by the Book-
Entry Depositary as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the
holders of the Notes.

     SECTION 3.07.  Book-Entry Depositary Required; Eligibility.  At all times
when there is a Book-Entry Depositary hereunder, such Book-Entry Depositary
shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, having,
together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal, state or District
of Columbia authority, willing to act on reasonable terms. Such corporation
shall have its principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, if there be such a corporation in such location willing to act upon
reasonable and customary terms and conditions. If such corporation, or its
parent, publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of the aforesaid 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. The Book-Entry Depositary
shall have executed the Letter of Representations to DTC acceptable in form and
substance to DTC and the Issuer with respect to the Depositary Interest. The
Book-Entry Depositary hereunder shall at all times be the Trustee under the
Indenture, unless the Issuer receives an Opinion of Counsel that the same Person
is precluded by law from acting in such capacities. If at any time the Book-
Entry Depositary shall cease to be eligible to act as Book-Entry Depositary in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.07, it shall resign pursuant to
Section 3.08 hereof with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article III.

     SECTION 3.08.  Resignation and Removal, Appointment of Successor.  (a) No
resignation or removal of the Book-Entry Depositary and no appointment of a
successor Book-Entry Depositary pursuant to this Article shall become effective
until (i) the approval in writing of a successor Book-Entry Depositary by the
Issuer and the acceptance of the appointment by such successor Book-Entry
Depositary in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 3.09 hereof
or (ii) the issuance of Registered Notes in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof
and the Indenture. If a Book-Entry Depositary resigns, it shall not be relieved
of any responsibility for its acts or omissions hereunder solely by virtue of
such resignation.

          (b)  The Book-Entry Depositary may resign all of its rights and duties
with respect to the Global Notes and the Depositary Interests by giving written
notice thereof to the Issuer and the Depositary in accordance with Sections 4.01
and 4.02 hereof. The Book-Entry Depositary may be removed at any time upon 30
days' notice by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed on behalf
of the Issuer and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to
become effective. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Book-Entry
Depositary or the approval by the Issuer required by Section 3.09 hereof shall
not have been delivered to the Book-Entry Depositary within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Book-Entry Depositary may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Book-Entry Depositary.

          (c)  If at any time:

                                      13
<PAGE>

          (1)  the Book-Entry Depositary shall cease to be eligible under
     Section 3.07 hereof or shall cease to be eligible as Trustee under the
     Indenture, and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
     Issuer or the Depositary, or

          (2)  the Book-Entry Depositary shall become incapable of acting with
     respect to the Global Note and the Depositary Interest, or shall be
     adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Book-
     Entry Depositary or its property shall be appointed or any public officer
     shall take charge or control of the Book-Entry Depositary or its property
     or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer, by Board Resolution, may remove the
Book-Entry Depositary and appoint a successor Book-Entry Depositary and (ii) if
the Issuer does not remove the Book-Entry Depositary and appoint a successor
pursuant to clause (i), the Depositary, upon the direction of holders of at
least a majority of the total aggregate principal amount of the Book-Entry
Interests outstanding, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Book-Entry Depositary with respect to the Global Note and the
Depositary Interest and the appointment of a successor Book-Entry Depositary or
Book-Entry Depositaries unless Registered Notes have been issued in accordance
with the Indenture. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Book-Entry Depositary with respect to
the Global Note and the Depositary Interest and appoint a successor Book-Entry
Depositary for the Global Note and the Depositary Interest.

          (d)  If the Book-Entry Depositary shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Book-Entry
Depositary for any cause, the Issuer, by Board Resolution, shall promptly
appoint a successor Book-Entry Depositary (other than the Issuer) and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 3.09 hereof. If no successor
Book-Entry Depositary with respect to the Notes shall have been so appointed by
the Issuer and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 3.09, the
Depositary, upon direction of holders of at least a majority of the total
aggregate principal amount of Book-Entry Interests outstanding, may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Book-Entry
Depositary unless Registered Notes have been issued in accordance with the
Indenture and Section 2.04 hereof.

          (e)  The Issuer shall give, or shall cause such successor Book-Entry
Depositary to give, notice of each resignation and each removal of a Book-Entry
Depositary and each appointment of a successor Book-Entry Depositary to the
Depositary in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. Each notice shall include the
name of the successor Book-Entry Depositary and the address of its Corporate
Trust Office.

     SECTION 3.09.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  (a) In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Book-Entry Depositary, every such successor
Book-Entry Depositary so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Issuer and to the retiring Book-Entry Depositary an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Book-Entry
Depositary shall become effective and such successor Book-Entry Depositary,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, agencies and duties of the retiring Book-Entry Depositary, with
like effect as if originally named as Book-Entry Depositary hereunder; but, on
the request of the Issuer or

                                      14
<PAGE>

the successor Book-Entry Depositary, such retiring Book-Entry Depositary shall,
upon payment of all amounts due and payable to it pursuant to Section 3.06
hereof, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Book-
Entry Depositary all the rights and powers of the retiring Book-Entry Depositary
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Book-Entry
Depositary all property and money held by such retiring Book-Entry Depositary
hereunder. Any retiring Book-Entry Depositary shall, nonetheless, retain a prior
claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such Book-Entry Depositary
to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof.

          (b)  Upon request of any such successor Book-Entry Depositary, the
Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Book-Entry Depositary all such
rights, powers and agencies referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.09.

          (c)  No successor Book-Entry Depositary shall accept its appointment
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Book-Entry Depositary shall
be eligible to serve as such under this Article III.

          (d)  Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Book-Entry
Depositary as provided in this Section, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to
the Depositary in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. If the acceptance of
appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation of the Book-
Entry Depositary, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be
combined with the notice called for by Section 3.08 hereof. If the Issuer fails
to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Book-Entry Depositary, the successor Book-Entry Depositary shall cause
such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.

     SECTION 3.10.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any corporation into which the Book-Entry Depositary 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 Book-Entry Depositary shall be
a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the agency
business of the Book-Entry Depositary, shall be the successor of the Book-Entry
Depositary hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; so long as such
corporation shall be otherwise eligible to serve as Book-Entry Depositary under
this Article III.

     SECTION 3.11.  Compliance with Letter of Representations.  As long as DTC
or its nominee is the Depositary, the Book-Entry Depositary shall comply with
all of its covenants made to DTC in the Letter of Representations, and any
successor Book-Entry Depositary shall comply with all covenants made to DTC in a
similar letter of representations in form and substance acceptable to DTC and
the Issuer.

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT

Agreement may be instituted by the Book-Entry Depositary in any competent court
in England.

     SECTION 4.10.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts by the parties hereto, each of which, when so executed and
delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together

herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein,

Indenture, provided that such other provision shall not adversely affect the
rights of the Depositary or any holder of Book-Entry Interests;

          (b)  to evidence the succession of another person to the Issuer (when
a similar amendment with respect to the Indenture is being executed) and the

Depositary shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof

immunities of the Book-Entry Depositary. If it does, the Book-Entry Depositary
may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Book-Entry Depositary
shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and to receive, and

          (a)  such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement;

          (b)  the Issuer has all necessary corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver the amendment and that the execution, delivery and
performance of such amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action;

of Association or Articles of Association of the Issuer, (iii) any law or
regulation applicable to the Issuer, (iv) any material order, writ, injunction

in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles.
