         be deemed inserted in Section 4.A: If Microsoft fails to deliver the
         agreed upon number of ad requests during the Term, Company's sole
         remedy for such failure will be the extension of the Term by Microsoft
         at no additional cost to Company until the agreed upon number of ad
         requests as specified in Exhibit 1-A (the "TOTAL AD REQUESTS") (or
         other ad requests as the parties may agree) are provided.

5.       CANCELLATION. The parties agree that Section 6 of the Agreement shall
         be deemed deleted, and the following shall be deemed inserted therein:

         If either Microsoft or Company defaults under this Agreement, the
         non-defaulting party will notify the other in writing. If the failure
         is not cured within five (5) business days after written notice is
         received by the notified party, the non-defaulting party may terminate
         this Agreement immediately with no further obligation to the notified
         party. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, other than by

         click discrepancies. Company will make a reasonable effort with

         tracking results and Microsoft's tracking results.

         A.       PLACEMENTS: Company will receive the Featured Sites words and
                  closely related variants set forth in Exhibit 1-D on a
                  non-exclusive basis commencing on the date of first exhibition
                  of Company's links by Microsoft and continuing through the end
                  of the Term. Company's site will receive placement in relevant
                  MSN user searches, however, Microsoft cannot guarantee
                  Company's placement and/or ranking within the "Featured Sites"
                  section of MSN Search. Microsoft will deliver [*] ad requests
                  in promotion of the Featured Sites words. If Microsoft fails
                  to deliver such ad requests by the end of the Term or the
                  effective date of cancellation of the Featured Sites placement
                  (if the Featured Sites portion of this Agreement is terminated
                  by either party pursuant to Section 8.C below), Microsoft will
                  deliver ad requests in the placements set forth in Exhibit 1-A
                  until the earlier of such Featured Site ad request shortfall
                  is provided or until [*]% of the ad requests in Exhibit 1-A
                  have been delivered. Microsoft reserves the right to update
                  the MSN Search template at any time during the Term.

                  efforts to deliver clicks to Company's site from search
                  results on any Microsoft site. Microsoft is not obligated to
                  deliver such clicks evenly throughout the Term. Failure by
                  Microsoft to deliver a certain number of clicks shall not be
                  deemed a breach of this Agreement or entitle Company to any
                  legal remedy.

         C.       FEATURED SITES CANCELLATION: At any time during the Term,
                  either party may terminate the Featured Sites portion of this
                  Agreement upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
                  other party. In such event, the parties will be relieved of
                  their respective obligations with respect to the MSN Search
                  Featured Site placements, however, Microsoft will remain
                  obligated to provide the Total Ad Requests to Company, as set
                  forth in Section 8.A above. The cancellation rights set forth
                  in this Section 8 will not pertain to Company's Microsoft
                  Shopping Channel placements.

         D.       SPECIAL TERMS: (i) The final keyword and advertisement content
                  will be subject to mutual agreement of the parties. (ii)
                  Microsoft reserves the right to immediately suspend
                  distribution of Company's entire Featured Site listings
                  ("LISTINGS") if five percent (5%) or more of the total URL
                  links from Company are not functional and accessible, and any
                  such removal shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement,
                  (iii) Company may update or refresh the Listings once every
                  ninety (90) days, or an alternate schedule contingent upon
                  seasonal promotions or product changes and agreed upon by the
                  parties. Updates will be scheduled by the parties following
                  the date upon which the Listings are first displayed. Company
                  will create and deliver to Microsoft all updated Listings at
                  least fourteen (14) days' prior to the first run date for such
                  Listing, and such updates will be subject to the same review
                  by Microsoft as a new Listing.

This Amendment 2 will be attached to and incorporated into the Agreement, and is
subject to all the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Whereby the parties
enter into this Amendment 2 as of the later of the two dates below.

                  will be paid on a monthly basis, in arrears within thirty (30)

                  an audit and/or an inspection to be made of the applicable
                  Company records in order to verify Company's compliance with
                  the terms of this Agreement. Any audit and/or inspection shall
                  be conducted during regular business hours upon written
                  notice.

               PLATFORM FOR PRIVACY PREFERENCES PROJECT COMPLIANCE

To successfully use cookies, the privacy features of Internet Explorer 6 require
Web services to deploy compact privacy policies as defined by the Platform for
Privacy Preferences (P3P) Project developed by the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C). The Internet Explorer 6 privacy features filter cookies based on these
compact policies as well as the user's privacy settings. While some cookies
might not require a compact policy, implementing policies for all cookies is
strongly recommended.

Online privacy has become increasingly important to consumers, privacy advocates
and the government. Addressing these concerns is the responsibility of the
entire internet community. To address this Microsoft has implemented new privacy
tools into Internet Explorer 6 which utilize P3P. We urge you to consider
deploying P3P on your site to ensure the proper use of cookies you may set and
as a way to build a trust relationship with your users.

We will be having regular chats at Microsoft TechNet in the IT community
Technical Chats to discuss the privacy features, cookies and how to deploy P3P.

Below are links to help you begin deployment of P3P.

INTERNET EXPLORER PRIVACY FEATURE INFORMATION LINKS:

Privacy in Internet Explorer 6, a comprehensive overview, is the best place to
start learning about the new privacy features of Internet Explorer 6 and the Web
site changes required to successfully utilize cookies. Alternatively the online
presentation Internet Explorer 6 Privacy Features is a great introduction.

How to deploy P3P privacy policies on your Web site This overview explains the
steps to take when deploying P3P beginning with a natural language privacy
policy. The examples are over-simplified and used only to illustrate the steps
to deployment.

The Microsoft Privacy Statement Wizard This wizard will help you to quickly and
easily generate privacy policies and compact privacy policies to aid in P3P
deployment.

The Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.0 Deployment Guide is the deployment
guide from the W3C.

Resources For Creating P3P Based Privacy Statements is an online presentation
which describes resources available to aid in P3P deployment.

Internet Explorer 6 Privacy User Experience is an online presentation which
explains how users will interact with IE 6 as they utilize the privacy features.

Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P1.0) Specification is the actual W3C
candidate recommendation specifying P3P.

application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under
any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall, if requested by the Trustee,
furnish to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the
opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been
complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to
which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision
of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no
additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

     Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or
covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

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

                                      -8-

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

SECTION 103. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.
             --------------------------------------

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

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

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

     Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution,
Officer's Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a
clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission
shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted
therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally filed
in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual
execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall
be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates
required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted.
Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such
corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at
the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the original
document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken
shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and
remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a
result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective
document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the
Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all
other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid.

SECTION 104. ACTS OF HOLDERS.
             ---------------

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

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
     person or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be
     embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof,
     either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of
     Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article
     Thirteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except
     as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
     when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the
     Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
     instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied
     therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
     "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting
     at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
     writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a
     Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
     (subject to Section 901) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
     Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any
     meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1306.

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

          (c) The principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause
     (y) of the proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and serial numbers of
     Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be
     proved by the Security Register.

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

          (e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered
     to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount
     of Securities for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such
     instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be
     revoked with respect to any or all of such Securities by written notice by
     such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such
     instrument was proven.

          (f) Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated
     and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the
     Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action
     taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new
     Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to
     conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may
     be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by
     the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series or
     Tranche.

          (g) If the Company shall solicit from Holders any request, demand,
     authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company
     may, at its option, by Company Order, fix in advance a record date for the
     determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
     authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
     Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed,
     such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
     other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
     Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be
     deemed to be Holders for the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
     purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the
     Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such
     request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
     Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as
     of the record date.

SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC. TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY.

SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF SECURITIES; WAIVER.
             ---------------------------------------

     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the
address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than
the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice.

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

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

     Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event
otherwise to be specified therein, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 107. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.
             ---------------------------------

     If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with
another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this
Indenture by, or is otherwise governed by, any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such other provision shall control; and if any provision hereof
otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act shall
control.

Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,

other than a provision in Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or
in the Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate which establishes the terms of

determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their
execution thereof.

     which are not specifically addressed in a supplemental indenture as
     contemplated by clause (g) of Section 1201;

          (t) to the extent not established pursuant to clause (r) of this

indenture supplemental hereto or the Board Resolution which establishes such
series, or the Officer's Certificate pursuant to such supplemental indenture or
Board Resolution, as the case may be, may provide general terms or parameters
for Securities of such series and provide either that the specific terms of
Securities of such series, or any Tranche thereof, shall be specified in a
Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Company or its
agents in accordance with procedures specified in a Company Order as
contemplated by clause (b) of Section 303.

SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS.
             -------------

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, the Securities of each series
shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.
             ----------------------------------------------

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, the Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer and may have the
corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon and attested
by any other Authorized Officer. The signature of any or all of these officers
on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

     The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of a series, for
original issue, at one time or from time to time in accordance with the Company
Order referred to below, upon receipt by the Trustee of:

          (a) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and
     terms of such series, as provided in Sections 201 and 301;

          (b) a Company Order requesting the authentication and delivery of such
     Securities and, to the extent that the terms of such Securities shall not
     have been established in an indenture

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
     supplemental hereto or in a Board Resolution, or in an Officer's
     Certificate pursuant to a supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, all
     as contemplated by Sections 201 and 301, either (1) establishing such terms
     or (2) in the case of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic
     Offering, specifying procedures, acceptable to the Trustee, by which such
     terms are to be established (which procedures may provide, to the extent
     acceptable to the Trustee, for authentication and delivery pursuant to oral
     or electronic instructions from the Company or any agent or agents thereof,
     which oral instructions are to be promptly confirmed electronically or in
     writing), in either case in accordance with the instrument or instruments
     delivered pursuant to clause (a) above;

          (c) the Securities of such series, executed on behalf of the Company
     by an Authorized Officer;

          (d) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

               (1) the form or forms of such Securities have been duly
          authorized by the Company and have been established in conformity with
          the provisions of this Indenture;

               (2) the terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the
          Company and have been established in conformity with the provisions of
          this Indenture; and

               (3) such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
          Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company in the manner and
          subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
          have been duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid
          and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the
          benefits provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance
          with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or
          affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights, including,
          without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general
          principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
          considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

     provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to
     a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion
     of Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of
     such Securities (provided that such Opinion of Counsel addresses the
     authentication and delivery of all Securities of such series) and that in
     lieu of the opinions described in clauses (2) and (3) above Counsel may
     opine that:

          (x) when the terms of such Securities shall have been established
     pursuant to a Company Order or Orders or pursuant to such procedures
     (acceptable to the Trustee) as may be specified from time to time by a
     Company Order or Orders, all as contemplated by and in accordance with the
     instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, such
     terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been
     established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

          (y) such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
     in accordance with this Indenture and the Company Order or Orders or
     specified procedures referred to in paragraph (x) above and issued and
     delivered by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions
     specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will have been duly issued under this
     Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
     Company, entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, and
     enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to
     laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors'
     rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws, and
     to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability
     is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
     With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of
such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other
documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as
applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of
such series unless and until such opinion or other documents have been
superseded or revoked or expire by their terms. In connection with the
authentication and delivery of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company's
instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not violate any
rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the Company.

     If the form or terms of the Securities of any series have been established
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate as permitted by
Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such
Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will
affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and
this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, each Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, or any Tranche thereof, no Security shall be entitled
to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose
unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee or its
agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder to the Company, or any Person acting on
its behalf, but shall never have been issued and sold by the Company, and the
Company shall deliver such Security to the Security Registrar for cancellation
as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and
sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be
deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never
be entitled to the benefits hereof.

SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.
             --------------------

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of
which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities; provided,
however, that temporary Securities need not recite specific redemption, sinking
fund, conversion or exchange provisions.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the preparation of
definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, the temporary Securities of
such series or Tranche shall be exchangeable, without charge to the Holder
thereof, for definitive Securities of such series or Tranche upon surrender of
such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company maintained
pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment for such Securities. Upon such
surrender of temporary Securities, the Company shall, except as aforesaid,
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
     Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Securities shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of the same series and Tranche and of like tenor
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
             ---------------------------------------------------

     The Company shall cause to be kept in each office designated pursuant to
Section 602, with respect to the Securities of each series or any Tranche
thereof, a register (all registers kept in accordance with this Section being
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 Securities of such series or Tranche and the registration of
transfer thereof. The Company shall designate one Person to maintain the
Security Register for the Securities of each series on a consolidated basis, and
such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the "Security
Registrar." Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may
designate one or more of its offices as an office in which a register with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche or Tranches
thereof, shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself the Security
Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Security Register
shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable
times.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security of such series or Tranche at the office
or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of
Payment for such series or Tranche, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series and Tranche, of
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, any Security of such
series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or more
new Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and
of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities
to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

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

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

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, no service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 406 or
1206 not involving any transfer.

     The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the
registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Securities of any series, or
any Tranche thereof, during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date
notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of such
series or Tranche called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security
being redeemed in part.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>
SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES.
             ------------------------------------------------

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

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to
their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by
them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security is held by a
Person purporting to be the owner of such Security, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and Tranche, and of
like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

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

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

     Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone other than the Holder
of such new Security, and any such new Security shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of such series duly issued hereunder.

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

SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.
             ----------------------------------------------

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

     Subject to Section 312, any interest on any Security of any series which is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on the related Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its
election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

          (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
     on a date (herein called a "Special Record Date") for the payment of such
     Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
     Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
     Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date
     of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
     with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed
     to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
     satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
     proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
     benefit of the

                                      -20-
<PAGE>
     Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
     Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of
     such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
     than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10
     days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
     payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
     Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
     promptly cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
     and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
     prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at the address of such
     Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior
     to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
     Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so
     mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names
     the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
     are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date.

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

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

SECTION 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
             ---------------------

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

SECTION 309. CANCELLATION BY SECURITY REGISTRAR.
             ----------------------------------

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Security
Registrar, be delivered to the Security Registrar and, if not theretofore
canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Security Registrar. The Company may
at any time deliver to the Security Registrar for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have issued and
sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Security
Registrar. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Security
Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with a Company Order delivered to
the Security Registrar and the Trustee, and the Security Registrar shall
promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Trustee and the Company
unless, by a Company Order, similarly delivered, the Company shall direct that
canceled Securities be returned to it. The Security Registrar shall promptly
deliver evidence of any cancellation of a Security in accordance with this
Section 309 to the Trustee and the Company.

SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.
             -----------------------

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed within any month in
relation to the deemed 30 days of such month.

                                      -21-
<PAGE>
SECTION 311. PAYMENT TO BE IN PROPER CURRENCY.
             --------------------------------

     In the case of the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a composite currency (the
"Required Currency"), except as otherwise specified with respect to such
Securities as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the Company to make
any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium, if any, or interest, if
any, thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company,
or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency,
except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee
timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. If
any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency,
the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such
currency for the Required Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange,
including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation,
shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain fully liable for any
shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and
payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in
the case of its negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 312. EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT.
             -----------------------------

     The Company shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company is not
in default in the payment of interest on the Securities of any series hereunder,
to extend interest payment periods on all Securities of one or more series, or
Tranches thereof, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
such Securities and upon such terms as may be specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to such Securities.

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 401. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.
             ------------------------

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

SECTION 402. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.
             -------------------------------------

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate. The Company shall, at least 45
days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed.
In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which
is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company
shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance
with such restriction or condition.

SECTION 403. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.
             --------------------------------------

     If less than all the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are
to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by
the Security Registrar from the Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche
not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for
any particular series or Tranche, or, in the absence of any such provision, by
such method of random selection as the Security Registrar shall deem fair and
appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption
of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such
series or Tranche or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of
Securities of such series or Tranche of a denomination

                                      -22-
<PAGE>
larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or
Tranche; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officer's Certificate,
the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the
Securities then Outstanding of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than
all of such Securities as to which such offer was made shall have been tendered
to the Company for such purchase, the Security Registrar, if so directed by
Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such
Securities which have not been so tendered.

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

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

SECTION 404. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
             --------------------

     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106
to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

          (a) the Redemption Date,

          (b) the Redemption Price,

          (c) if less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche are to be
     redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to be redeemed
     and the portion of the principal amount of any Security to be redeemed in
     part,

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

          (e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered
     for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, unless it
     shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
     such Securities that such surrender shall not be required,

          (f) that the redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the
     case, and

          (g) such other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or
     appropriate.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance
with Section 301, with respect to any notice of redemption of Securities at the
election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Securities
shall be deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 701, such notice
may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the
Paying Agent or Agents for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for
such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest, if any, on such Securities and that if such money shall not
have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company
shall not be required to redeem such Securities. In the event that such notice
of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the
redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice
shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that
such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made,
and the Paying Agent or Agents for the Securities otherwise to have been
redeemed shall

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been
surrendered for payment upon such redemption.

     Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the
Company, and any notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as
aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Security Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company. Notice of
mandatory redemption of Securities shall be given by the Security Registrar in
the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 405. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.
             -------------------------------------

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if
any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Securities or portions
thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable
at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless,
in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall default
in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such
Securities or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear
interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with
such notice, such Security or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at
the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such
payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such
Security; and provided, further, that except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, any installment of
interest on any Security the Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior
to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Security, or one
or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on
the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such Security and
subject to the provisions of Section 307.

SECTION 406. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.
             ---------------------------

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

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

                                  SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 501. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.
             ------------------------

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

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, is herein referred to as a
"mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum
amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 502. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
Securities of the series or Tranche in respect of which it was made as provided
for by the terms of such Securities.

SECTION 502. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.
             -----------------------------------------------------

     The Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities (other
than any previously called for redemption) of a series or Tranche in respect of
which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (b) may apply as a
credit Securities of such series or Tranche which have been (1) redeemed either
at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or
through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to
the terms of such Securities or (2) repurchased by the Company in the open
market, by tender offer or otherwise, in each case in satisfaction of all or any
part of such mandatory sinking fund payment; provided, however, that no
Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a mandatory sinking fund payment
if such Securities shall have been previously so applied. Securities so applied
shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption
Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the
sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly.

SECTION 503. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.
             -----------------------------------------

     Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate specifying:

          (a) the amount of the next succeeding mandatory sinking fund payment
     for such series or Tranche;

          (b) the amount, if any, of the optional sinking fund payment to be
     made together with such mandatory sinking fund payment;

          (c) the aggregate sinking fund payment;

          (d) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which
     is to be satisfied by the payment of cash;

          (e) the portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which
     is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of such series or
     Tranche pursuant to Section 502 and stating the basis for such credit and
     that such Securities have not previously been so credited, and the Company
     shall also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. If the
     Company shall not deliver such Officer's Certificate, the next succeeding
     sinking fund payment for such series or Tranche shall be made entirely in
     cash in the amount of the mandatory sinking fund payment. Not less than 40
     days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select
     the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the
     manner specified in Section 403 and cause notice of the redemption thereof
     to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
     provided in Section 404. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption
     of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in
     Sections 405 and 406.

SECTION 601. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.
             ------------------------------------------

     The Company shall pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest,
if any, on the Securities of each series in accordance with the terms of such
Securities and this Indenture.

<PAGE>
SECTION 602. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.
             -------------------------------

     The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Securities of
each series, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where payment of such
Securities shall be made, where the registration of transfer or exchange of such
Securities may be effected and where notices and demands to or upon the Company
in respect of such Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change
in the location, of each such office or agency and prompt notice to the Holders
of any such change in the manner specified in Section 106. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, payment of such Securities shall be made,
registration of transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and notices and
demands in respect thereof may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for all such
purposes in any such event.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche
thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series or
Tranche, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes in
each Place of Payment for such Securities in accordance with the requirements
set forth above. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee,
and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified in Section 106, of any
such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office or agency
required by this Section may be maintained at an office of the Company, in which
event the Company shall perform all functions to be performed at such office or
agency.

SECTION 603. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.
             -------------------------------------------------

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

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before each
due date of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such
Securities, deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient (without
duplication) to pay the principal and premium or interest so becoming due, such
sums to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee)
the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by it so to act.

     The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for the Securities of any series,
or any Tranche thereof, other than the Company or the Trustee, to execute and
deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
shall:

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

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
          (b) give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or any
     other obligor upon such Securities) to make any payment of principal of or
     premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities; and

          (c) at any time during the continuance of any such failure, upon the
     written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
     held in trust by such Paying Agent and furnish to the Trustee such
     information as it possesses regarding the names and addresses of the
     Persons entitled to such sums.

     The Company may at any time pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying
Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such
Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those
upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent and, if so
stated in a Company Order delivered to the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of Article Seven; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
or interest, if any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after
such principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or, if then held by the
Company, shall be discharged from such trust; and, upon such payment or
discharge, the Holder of such Security shall, as an unsecured general creditor
and not as a Holder of an Outstanding Security, look only to the Company for
payment of the amount so due and payable and remaining unpaid, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such payment to the Company, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
mailed, on one occasion only, notice to such Holder that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be paid to the Company.

SECTION 604. CORPORATE EXISTENCE.
             -------------------

     Subject to the rights of the Company under Article Eleven, the Company
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its corporate existence.

SECTION 605. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.
             -------------------------

     The Company shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in common with
others, make reasonable effort to cause) all its properties used or useful in
the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order and shall cause (or, with respect to property owned in common
with others, make reasonable effort to cause) to be made all necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as, in the
judgment of the Company, may be necessary so that the business carried on in
connection therewith may be properly conducted; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing, or causing the
discontinuance of, the operation and maintenance of any of its properties if
such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct
of its business.

SECTION 606. ANNUAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE AS TO COMPLIANCE.
             ---------------------------------------------

     Not later than October 1 in each year, commencing October 1, 2004, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate which need not
comply with Section 102, executed by the principal executive officer, the
principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company,
as to such officer's knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions
and covenants under this Indenture, such

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement
of notice under this Indenture.

SECTION 607. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.
             ---------------------------

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in (a) Section 602 or any additional covenant
or restriction specified with respect to the Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 if before the time for such
compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches with respect to which
compliance with Section 602 or such additional covenant or restriction is to be
omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive
such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition and (b) Section 604, 605 or Article Eleven if before the
time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of Securities Outstanding under this Indenture shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
such term, provision or condition; but, in the case of (a) or (b), no such
waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the
extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such
term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 608. LIMITATIONS ON LIENS.
             --------------------

     So long as there remain outstanding any Securities of any series to which
this Section 608 applies under the terms of the series, the Company shall not,
and will not permit any subsidiary to, create or suffer to be created or to
exist any Lien on any of its properties or assets now owned or hereinafter
acquired to secure any indebtedness, without making effective provision whereby
the Securities (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other debt
of the Company or any subsidiary then existing or thereafter created that is not
subordinate to such Securities) of such series shall be equally and ratably
secured with (or prior to) any and all such indebtedness and with any other
indebtedness similarly entitled to be equally and ratably secured. However, this
restriction shall not apply to or prevent the creation or existence of:

          (a) the Liens of the Mortgages or any indenture supplemental to any
     thereof subjecting any property to the Lien thereof or confirming the Lien
     thereof upon any property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired;

          (b) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition or
     construction of such property (or created within one year after completion
     of such acquisition or construction), whether by purchase,
     merger,construction or otherwise (or on the property of a subsidiary at the
     date it became a subsidiary), or to secure the payment of all or any part
     of the purchase price or construction cost thereof, including the extension
     of any such Liens to repairs, renewals, replacements, substitutions,
     betterments, additions, extensions and improvements then or thereafter made
     on the property subject thereto;

          (c) any extensions, renewals or replacements (or successive
     extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part of Liens
     permitted by the foregoing clauses (a) and (b);

          (d) the pledge of any bonds or other securities at any time issued
     under any of the Liens permitted by clauses (a), (b), or (c); or

          (e) Permitted Liens.

     Further, this restriction shall not apply to or prevent the creation or
existence of leases made, or existing on property acquired, in the ordinary
course of business.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 701. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF SECURITIES.
             ----------------------------------------

     Any Security or Securities, or any portion of the principal amount thereof,
shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the
entire indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be deemed to have
been satisfied and discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably deposited
with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust:

          (a) money in an amount which shall be sufficient, or

          (b) in the case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such
     Securities or portions thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall not
     contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment thereof at
     the option of the issuer thereof, the principal of and the interest on
     which when due, without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will provide
     moneys which, together with the money, if any, deposited with or held by
     the Trustee or such Paying Agent, shall be sufficient, or

          (c) a combination of (a) or (b) which shall be sufficient,

     to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any,
     due and to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on or prior to
     Maturity; provided, however, that in the case of the provision for payment
     or redemption of less than all the Securities of any series or Tranche,
     such Securities or portions thereof shall have been selected by the
     Security Registrar as provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the
     notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given
     or irrevocable authority shall have been given by the Company to the
     Trustee to give such notice, under arrangements satisfactory to the
     Trustee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have delivered to
     the Trustee and such Paying Agent:

          (x) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such
     Securities, a Company Order stating that the money and Eligible Obligations
     deposited in accordance with this Section shall be held in trust, as
     provided in Section 703;

          (y) if Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited, an Opinion of
     Counsel that the obligations so deposited constitute Eligible Obligations
     and do not contain provisions permitting the redemption or other prepayment
     at the option of the issuer thereof, and an opinion of an independent
     public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the
     Company, to the effect that the requirements set forth in clause (b) above
     have been satisfied; and

          (z) if such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such
     Securities, an Officer's Certificate stating the Company's intention that,
     upon delivery of such Officer's Certificate, its indebtedness in respect of
     such Securities or portions thereof will have been satisfied and discharged
     as contemplated in this Section.

     Upon the deposit of money or Eligible Obligations, or both, in accordance
with this Section, together with the documents required by clauses (x), (y) and
(z) above, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Request, acknowledge in
writing that the Security or Securities or portions thereof with respect to
which such deposit was made are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of
this Indenture and that the entire indebtedness of the Company in respect
thereof has been satisfied and discharged as contemplated in this Section. In
the event that all of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph shall
have been satisfied in respect of any Securities or portions thereof except
that, for any reason, the Officer's Certificate specified in clause (z) shall
not have been delivered, such Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless
be deemed to

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the Holders of such
Securities or portions thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture or of any of the covenants of the Company under
Article Six (except the covenants contained in Sections 602, 603 and 604) or any
other covenants made in respect of such Securities or portions thereof as
contemplated by Section 301, but the indebtedness of the Company in respect of
such Securities or portions thereof shall not be deemed to have been satisfied
and discharged prior to Maturity for any other purpose, and the Holders of such
Securities or portions thereof shall continue to be entitled to look to the
Company for payment of the indebtedness represented thereby; and, upon Company
Request, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such Securities or
portions thereof are deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this
Indenture.

     If payment at Stated Maturity of less than all of the Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, is to be provided for in the manner and with the
effect provided in this Section, the Security Registrar shall select such
Securities, or portions of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by
Section 403 for selection for redemption of less than all the Securities of a
series or Tranche.

     In the event that Securities which shall be deemed to have been paid for
purposes of this Indenture, and, if such is the case, in respect of which the
Company's indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided
in this Section do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the sixty (60)
day period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible
Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a
notice, in the same manner as a notice of redemption with respect to such
Securities, to the Holders of such Securities to the effect that such deposit
has been made and the effect thereof.

     Notwithstanding that any Securities shall be deemed to have been paid for
purposes of this Indenture, as aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the
Trustee in respect of such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 403, 404,
406, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909, 910 and 915 and this
Article Seven shall survive.

     The Company shall pay, and shall indemnify the Trustee or any Paying Agent
with which Eligible Obligations shall have been deposited as provided in this
Section against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against
such Eligible Obligations or the principal or interest received in respect of
such Eligible Obligations, including, but not limited to, any such tax payable
by any entity deemed, for tax purposes, to have been created as a result of such
deposit.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if, at any time after
a Security would be deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture,
and, if such is the case, the Company's indebtedness in respect thereof would be
deemed to have been satisfied or discharged, pursuant to this Section (without
regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as
the case may be, shall be required to return the money or Eligible Obligations,
or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to the Company or its
representative under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, such Security shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to
have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company's indebtedness
in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed not to have been effected, and
such Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding and (b) any satisfaction and
discharge of the Company's indebtedness in respect of any Security shall be
subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 603.

SECTION 702. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.
             ---------------------------------------

     This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect
(except as hereinafter expressly provided), and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when

          (a) no Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
          (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
     hereunder by the Company;

provided, however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section
701, any Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this
Indenture, shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this
Indenture shall thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and
discharged, as aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the
Company shall execute and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall
reasonably request to evidence and acknowledge the same.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as
aforesaid, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 304,
305, 306, 403, 404, 406, 503 (as to notice of redemption), 602, 603, 907, 909,
910 and 915 and this Article Seven shall survive.

     Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in this
Section, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and turn over to the Company,
subject to the lien provided by Section 907, any and all money, securities and
other property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities other than money and Eligible Obligations held by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 703.

SECTION 703. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.
             --------------------------

     Neither the Eligible Obligations nor the money deposited pursuant to
Section 701, nor the principal or interest payments on any such Eligible
Obligations, shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and such
Eligible Obligations and money deposited and the principal and interest payments
on any such Eligible Obligations shall be held in trust for, the payment of the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities or
portions of principal amount thereof in respect of which such deposit was made,
all subject, however, to the provisions of Section 603; provided, however, that,
so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default,
any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Eligible
Obligations, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent
practicable, be invested in Eligible Obligations of the type described in clause
(b) in the first paragraph of Section 701 maturing at such times and in such
amounts as shall be sufficient, together with any other moneys and the principal
of and interest on any other Eligible Obligations then held by the Trustee, to
pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, due and
to become due on such Securities or portions thereof on and prior to the
Maturity thereof, and interest earned from such reinvestment shall be paid over
to the Company as received, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under
this Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and provided, further,
that, so long as there shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default, any moneys held in accordance with this Section on the Maturity of all
such Securities in excess of the amount required to pay the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due on such Securities shall be paid
over to the Company free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge under this
Indenture except the lien provided by Section 907; and provided, further, that
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, moneys to be paid
over to the Company pursuant to this Section shall be held until such Event of
Default shall have been waived or cured.

                           EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

SECTION 801. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

series, means any one of the following events:

          (a) failure to pay interest, if any, on any Security of such series
     within sixty (60) days after the same becomes due and payable; provided,
     however, that a valid extension of the interest

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
     payment period by the Company as contemplated in Section 312 of this
     Indenture shall not constitute a failure to pay interest for this purpose;
     or

          (b) failure to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any
     Security of such series within ten (10) days after its Maturity; or

     Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in
     the performance of which or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section
     specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
     Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other
     than such series) for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by
     registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the
     Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount
     of the Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying
     such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that
     such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, unless the Trustee, or the
     Trustee and the Holders of a principal amount of Securities of such series
     not less than the principal amount of Securities the Holders of which gave
     such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of
     such period prior to its expiration; provided, however, that the Trustee,
     or the Trustee and the Holders of such principal amount of Securities of
     such series, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to an
     extension of such period if corrective action is initiated by the Company
     within such period and is being diligently pursued; or

          (d) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (1) a
     decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case
     or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law or (2) a decree or order adjudging the
     Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
     by one or more Persons other than the Company seeking reorganization,
     arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company
     under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian,

     official for the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or
     ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree
     or order for relief or any such other decree or order shall have remained
     unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

          (e) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding
     under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to
     be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry
     of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in a case or
     proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any
     bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it
     of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under
     any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of
     such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian,
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official
     of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by
     it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in
     writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or
     the authorization of such action by the Board of Directors; or

          (f) any other Event of Default specified with respect to Securities of
     such series.

SECTION 802. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.
             --------------------------------------------------

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect
to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, then in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount (or, if
any of the Securities of such series are Discount Securities, such portion of
the principal amount of such Securities as

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
may be specified in the terms thereof as contemplated by Section 301) of all of
the Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon
receipt by the Company of notice of such declaration such principal amount (or
specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable; provided, however,
that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect
to more than one series of Securities, the Trustee or the Holders of not less
than 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all such
series, considered as one class (and not the Holders of the Securities of any
one of such series), may make such declaration of acceleration.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series shall have been made and before a judgment or decree
for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event or Events of Default giving rise
to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to
have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without
further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

          (a) the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
     sufficient to pay

               (1) all overdue interest on all Securities of such series;

               (2) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of
          such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration
          of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed
          therefor in such Securities;

               (3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
          interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed
          therefor in such Securities;

               (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907; and

          (b) any other Event or Events of Default with respect to Securities of
     such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of
     such series which shall have become due solely by such declaration of
     acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 813.

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

SECTION 803. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.
             ---------------------------------------------------------------

     If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 801 shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee,
pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series with
respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount
then due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on premium, if
any, and on any overdue principal and interest, at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907.

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

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect
and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this
Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce
any other proper remedy.

SECTION 804. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.
             --------------------------------

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

          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal,
     premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the
     Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary
     or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any
     claim for amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907) and of the Holders
     allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amounts due it under Section 907.

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

SECTION 805. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES.
             -----------------------------------------------------------

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

SECTION 806. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.
             ------------------------------

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

          FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section
     907;

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
          SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the
     Securities for principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, in
     respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected,
     ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
     amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any,
     and interest, if any, respectively; and

          THIRD: To the Company.

SECTION 807. LIMITATION ON SUITS.
             -------------------

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

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

          (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
     amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which an
     Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one
     class, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
     proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
     hereunder;

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

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

          (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have
     been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
     majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all
     series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing, considered as one class;

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

SECTION 808. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND
             ----------------------------------------------------------------
             INTEREST.
             --------

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 307 and
312) interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption
Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such
rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 809. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
             ----------------------------------

     If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined
adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject
to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, and Trustee and such
Holder shall be restored severally and

                                      -35-
<PAGE>
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and such Holder shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 810. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
             ------------------------------

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

SECTION 811. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.
             ----------------------------

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

SECTION 812. CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.
             --------------------------------

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of
a series of Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect
to the Securities of such series; provided, however, that if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of
Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class, shall have
the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of the Securities of any
one of such series; and provided, further, that

          (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
     with this Indenture, and could not involve the Trustee in personal
     liability in circumstances where indemnity would not, in the Trustee's sole
     discretion, be adequate, and

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

SECTION 813. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.
             -----------------------

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

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

          (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section
     1202 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
     each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
     Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and all
Events of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 814. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.
             ---------------------

     The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which
such suit may be brought, considered as one class, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 815. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.
             --------------------------------

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

                                  ARTICLE NINE

                                   THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 901. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
             -----------------------------------

          (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect
     to Securities of any series,

               (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform, with respect to Securities
          of such series, such duties and only such duties as are specifically
          set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations
          shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

               (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may,
          with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively rely, as to
          the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
          expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
          Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in
          the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision
          hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
          Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether
          or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

          (b) In case an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any
     series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall exercise,
     with respect to Securities of such series, such

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
     of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same
     degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise
     or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

          (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
     Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
     failure to act, or its own wilful misconduct, except that

               (1) this clause (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of
          clause (a) of this Section;

               (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
          made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved
          that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

               (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
          taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
          the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
          Outstanding Securities of any one or more series, as provided herein,
          relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
          for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
          power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to
          the Securities of such series; and

               (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
          expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
          liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
          exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
          grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
          indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
          it.

          (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
     this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
     affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
     this Section.

SECTION 902. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.
             ------------------

     The Trustee shall give notice of any default hereunder with respect to the
Securities of any series to the Holders of Securities of such series in the
manner and to the extent required to do so by the Trust Indenture Act, unless
such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that in the
case of any default of the character specified in clause (c) of Section 801, no
such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 75 days after the
occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means
any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an
Event of Default.

SECTION 903. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.
             -------------------------

     Subject to the provisions of Section 901 and to the applicable provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act:

          (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
          (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall
     deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
     suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other
     evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad
     faith on its part, rely upon an Officer's Certificate;

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

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

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

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

          (h) except as otherwise provided in Section 801, the Trustee shall not
     be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default with respect to the
     Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee unless either
     (1) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of the
     Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Event of Default shall have
     been given to the Trustee by the Company, any other obligor on such
     Securities or by any Holder of such Securities.

SECTION 904. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.
             ------------------------------------------------------

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company,
and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 905. MAY HOLD SECURITIES.
             -------------------

     Each of the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any
Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and, subject to Sections 908 and 913, may otherwise deal with the Company with
the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 906. MONEY HELD IN TRUST.
             -------------------

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

                                      -39-
<PAGE>
received by it hereunder except as expressly provided herein or otherwise agreed
with, and for the sole benefit of, the Company.

             ------------------------------

     The Company shall

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

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

          (c) indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless from and against, any
     loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred by it arising out of or in
     connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
     hereunder or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs
     and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
     connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
     hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be
     attributable to its negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith; and

          (d) the Trustee's right to compensation, reimbursement for its costs
     and expenses, and indemnification shall survive the Trustee's resignation
     or removal, the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and
     discharge of the Trust.

     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such other than property
and funds held in trust under Section 703 (except as otherwise provided in
Section 703). "Trustee" for purposes of this Section shall include any
predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, wilful misconduct
or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 908. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.
             ---------------------------------------

     If the Trustee shall have or acquire any conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such conflicting
interest or resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject
to the conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. For
purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the extent
permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the
Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest
arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any other
series.

SECTION 909. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.
             ---------------------------------------

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

          (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
     United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia,
     authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
     combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to
     supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, or

                                      -40-
<PAGE>
          (b) if and to the extent permitted by the Commission by rule,
     regulation or order upon application, a corporation or other Person
     organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government,
     authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
     combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or the Dollar
     equivalent of the applicable foreign currency and subject to supervision or
     examination by authority of such foreign government or a political
     subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination
     applicable to United States institutional trustees,

and, in either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust
Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 910. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
             -------------------------------------------------

          (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
     successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
     acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
     applicable requirements of Section 911.

          (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities
     of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If
     the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 911
     shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the
     giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition
     any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
     Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

          (d) If at any time:

               (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 908 after
          written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been
          a bona fide Holder for at least six months, or

               (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 909 and
          shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or
          by any such Holder, or

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

     then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove
     the Trustee with respect to all Securities or (B) subject to Section 814,
     any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on
     behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
     competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
     Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

          (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
     acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause
     (other than as contemplated in clause (B) in clause

                                      -41-
<PAGE>
     (d) of this Section), with respect to the Securities of one or more series,
     the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
     Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series
     (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with
     respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at
     any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of
     any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of
     Section 911. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
     incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
     Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
     such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
     successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
     appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 911,
     become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series
     and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
     Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
     series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and
     accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 911, any Holder who
     has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
     months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition
     any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
     Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

          (f) So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or
     both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the
     Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
     pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, if the Company shall have
     delivered to the Trustee (1) a Board Resolution appointing a successor
     Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (2) an instrument of
     acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such
     successor Trustee in accordance with Section 911, the Trustee shall be
     deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection (b) of this Section,
     the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Company
     pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such appointment shall be
     deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 911, all as of such
     date, and all other provisions of this Section and Section 911 shall be
     applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the
     extent inconsistent with this clause (f).

          (g) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal
     of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
     appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
     series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage
     prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and
     addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the
     name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series
     and the address of its corporate trust office.

          (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Securities of all series, every such successor Trustee so
     appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the
     retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon
     the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective
     and such successor Trustee, without any further act, shall become vested
     with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee;
     but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
     Trustee shall, upon payment of all sums owed to it, execute and deliver an
     instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers
     and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
     deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such
     retiring Trustee hereunder.

          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
     respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
     the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the
     Securities of such series shall execute and deliver an indenture

                                      -42-
<PAGE>
     supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
     appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be
     necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
     successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
     Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
     appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee
     is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such
     provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all
     the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
     to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee
     is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3)
     shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
     necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
     hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein
     or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
     co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee
     of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts
     hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution
     and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of
     the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein
     and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, shall become
     vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
     Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
     appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the
     Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of
     all sums owed to it, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
     successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
     hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which
     the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

          (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
     execute any instruments which fully vest in and confirm to such successor
     Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in clause (a) or (b)
     of this Section, as the case may be.

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

SECTION 912. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.
             -----------------------------------------------------------

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

SECTION 913. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.
             -------------------------------------------------

     If the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other
obligor upon the Securities (other than by reason of a relationship described in
Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any
and all applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the
collection of claims against the Company or such other obligor. For purposes of
Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act:

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

                                      -43-
<PAGE>
          (b) the term "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of
     exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or
     incurred by the Company or such obligor for the purpose of financing the
     purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods,
     wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
     possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the
     receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
     merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is
     received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor
     relationship with the Company or such obligor arising from the making,
     drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange,
     acceptance or obligation.

SECTION 914. CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES.
             ---------------------------------

     At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of
any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to
appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at
least thirty-three per centum (33%) in principal amount of the Securities then
Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the
execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to
appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as
co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either
case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property,
title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other
provisions of this Section. If the Company does not join in such appointment
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have
power to make such appointment.

     Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required
by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such
co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all
such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by
the Company.

     Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

          (a) the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all
     rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody
     of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be
     deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised
     solely, by the Trustee;

          (b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or
     imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such
     appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
     either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate
     trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such
     co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of
     any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the
     Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which
     event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and
     performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee;

          (c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by
     it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or
     remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section,
     and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
     Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such
     co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon
     the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee
     in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary
     or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any

                                      -44-
<PAGE>
     co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in
     the manner provided in this Section;

          (d) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally
     liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such
     trustee hereunder; and

          (e) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to
     have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

SECTION 915. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.
             -----------------------------------

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

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

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

     The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, in accordance with, and
subject to the provisions of Section 907.

     The provisions of Sections 308, 904 and 905 shall be applicable to each
Authenticating Agent.

<PAGE>
     If an appointment with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or
any Tranche thereof, shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of
such series or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication
substantially in the following form:

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

         Dated:

                             Bank One Trust Company, National Association,
                             As Trustee

                                 -----------------------------------------------
                                 As Authenticating Agent

                                 Authorized Signatory

     If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one
time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating
Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the
Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original
issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing
need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel), shall appoint, in accordance with this Section and in accordance with
such procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent
having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to
such series of Securities.

          (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
     Securities of any series or any Tranche thereof, the consent of the Holders
     of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of
     the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with any
     provision of this Indenture or of any default hereunder and its
     consequences, or reduce the requirements of Section 1304 for quorum or
     voting, without, in any such case, the consent of the Holders of each
     Outstanding Security of such series or Tranche, or

          (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 607 or
     Section 813 with respect to the Securities of any series, or any Tranche
     thereof, or except to increase the percentages in principal amount referred
     to in this Section or such other Sections or to provide that other
     provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the
     consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby;
     provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the
     consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to "the
     Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this
     proviso, in accordance with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 911
     and clause (h) of Section 1201.

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

     It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall
be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A waiver by a
Holder of such Holder's right to consent under this Section shall be deemed to
be a consent of such Holder.

SECTION 1203. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
              ------------------------------------

     In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to Section 901) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

SECTION 1204. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
              ---------------------------------

     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article this
Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder
of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby. Any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article may
restate this Indenture in its entirety, and, upon the execution and delivery
thereof, any such restatement shall supersede this Indenture as theretofore in
effect for all purposes.

SECTION 1205. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.
              -----------------------------------

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

<PAGE>
SECTION 1206. REFERENCE IN SECURITIES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.
              --------------------------------------------------

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

SECTION 1207. MODIFICATION WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.
              -------------------------------------------

     If the terms of any particular series of Securities shall have been
established in a Board Resolution or an Officer's Certificate pursuant to a
Board Resolution as contemplated by Section 301, and not in an indenture
supplemental hereto, additions to, changes in or the elimination of any of such
terms may be effected by means of a supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's
Certificate, as the case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee;
provided, however, that such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer's
Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective
unless all conditions set forth in this Indenture which would be required to be
satisfied if such additions, changes or elimination were contained in a
supplemental indenture shall have been appropriately satisfied. Upon the
acceptance thereof by the Trustee, any such supplemental Board Resolution or
Officer's Certificate shall be deemed to be a "supplemental indenture" for
purposes of Section 1204 and 1206.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

                   MEETINGS OF HOLDERS; ACTION WITHOUT MEETING

SECTION 1301. PURPOSES FOR WHICH MEETINGS MAY BE CALLED.
              -----------------------------------------

     A meeting of Holders of Securities of one or more, or all, series, or any
Tranche or Tranches thereof, may be called at any time and from time to time

     thereof, for any purpose specified in Section 1301, to be held at such time
     and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the

     Tranches thereof, by the Company or by the Holders of 33% in aggregate
     principal amount of all of such series and Tranches, considered as one

     meeting, and the Trustee shall not have given the notice of such meeting
     within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter

     if the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranches are
     present in person or by proxy and if representatives of the Company and the
     Trustee are present, or if notice is waived in writing before or after the
     meeting by the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, or any

     meeting in person or by proxy, and by the Company and the Trustee.

SECTION 1303. PERSONS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT MEETINGS.
              ------------------------------------

     To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of one or
more, or all, series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, a Person shall be (a)
a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranches, or

SECTION 1304. QUORUM; ACTION.
              --------------

     The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which a
meeting shall have been called as hereinbefore provided, considered as one
class, shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such
series and Tranches; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at
such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders
of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class,
the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class,
shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within one hour of the
time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the
request of Holders of Securities of such series and Tranches, be dissolved. In
any other case the meeting may be adjourned for such period as may be determined
by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the
absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be
further adjourned for such period as may be determined by the chairman of the
meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Except as provided
by clause (e) of Section 1305, notice of the reconvening of any meeting
adjourned for more than 30 days shall be given as provided in clause (a) of
Section 1302 not less than ten days prior to the date on which the meeting is
scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting
shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches which shall constitute
a quorum.

     Except as limited by Section 1202, any resolution presented to a meeting or
adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may
be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series and
Tranches with respect to which such meeting shall have been called, considered
as one class; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any resolution with
respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by
the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches,
considered as one class, may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting
duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative
vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class.

                                      -52-
<PAGE>
     Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of
Securities duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the
Holders of Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which such
meeting shall have been held, whether or not present or represented at the
meeting.

SECTION 1305. ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS; DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS; CONDUCT
              ---------------------------------------------------------------
              AND ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS.
              ---------------------------

          (a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Securities may be in person
     or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall
     remain in effect and be binding upon any future Holder of the Securities
     with respect to which it was given unless and until specifically revoked by
     the Holder or future Holder of such Securities before being voted.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the
     Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for
     any meeting of Holders of Securities in regard to proof of the holding of
     such Securities and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the
     appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
     examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to
     vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it
     shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any
     such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner
     specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved
     in the manner specified in Section 104. Such regulations may provide that
     written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be
     presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or
     other proof.

          (c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
     temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been
     called by the Company or by Holders as provided in clause (b) of Section
     1302, in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series
     and Tranches calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
     appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
     secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled
     to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
     Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting,
     considered as one class.

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

          (e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 1302 at which a quorum
     is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a
     majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all
     series and Tranches represented at the meeting, considered as one class;
     and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

SECTION 1306. COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS.
              -----------------------------------------------

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be
by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or
of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers
of the Outstanding Securities, of the series and Tranches with respect to which
the meeting shall have been called, held or represented by them. The permanent
chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count
all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make
and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports of all
votes cast at the meeting. A record of the proceedings of each meeting of
Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be
attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any
vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having
knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and
showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1302 and, if
applicable,

                                      -53-
<PAGE>
Section 1304. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the
permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be
delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the
Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.
Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters
therein stated.

SECTION 1307. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.
              ----------------------

     In lieu of a vote of Holders at a meeting as hereinbefore contemplated in
this Article, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action may be made, given or taken by Holders by written
instruments as provided in Section 104.

any, or interest, if any, on any Securities, or any part thereof, or for any
claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness

successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture and all
the Securities are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability
whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder,

hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or
agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or to be

expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the
consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of the
Securities.
