                          AMENDMENTS TO BASE INDENTURE

         Section 2.01. Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

         (a) The second to last paragraph of Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture
is hereby amended by adding the phrase "and the Guarantor, respectively"
immediately following the word "Issuer."

         Section 2.02. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities.

         (a) Section 2.09 of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced in its
entirety with the following:

         "Section 2.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security or any Coupon
appertaining to any Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon the written
request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver a new Security of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and
original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not
contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated
or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so
destroyed, lost or stolen with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons
appertaining to the Securities so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
stolen, or in exchange or substitution for the Security to which such
mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertained, with Coupons
appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons so mutilated, defaced,
destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute
Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Issuer, the Guarantor and to the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save
each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft,
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof and in the case of mutilation
or defacement shall surrender the Security and related Coupons to the Trustee
or such agent.

         Upon the issuance of any substitute Security or Coupon, the Issuer may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or its agent) connected
therewith. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to
mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or
defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may instead of issuing a
substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same or the relevant
Coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced
Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Issuer, the Guarantor and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the
Guarantor or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any

                                       4
<PAGE>

of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, the
Guarantor and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the
Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof.

         Every substitute Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to
the provisions of this Section virtue of the fact that any such Security or
Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost
or stolen Security or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the
limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities or Coupons of such series duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder. All Securities and Coupons shall be held and owned
upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons and
shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or
statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender."

         Section 2.03. Cancellation of Securities; Disposition Thereof.

         (a) Section 2.10 of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced in its
entirety with the following:

         "Section 2.10. Cancellation of Securities; Disposition Thereof. All
Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking
or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or
the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee or
its agent for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be
cancelled by it; and no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu thereof
except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The
Trustee or its agent shall dispose of cancelled Securities and Coupons held by
it and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer. If the Issuer, the
Guarantor or an agent of either of them shall acquire any of the Securities or
Coupons, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of
the indebtedness represented by such Securities or Coupons unless and until the
same are delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation."

agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any
city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of
any stock exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where the

Coupon will be made upon presentation of such Bearer Security or Coupon at an
agency of the Issuer and the Guarantor within the United States nor will any
payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the
United States unless pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations
then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the
Issuer or the Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in Dollars of
Bearer Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto which are
payable in Dollars may be made at an agency of the Issuer or the Guarantor
maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in
Dollars at each agency maintained by the Issuer or the Guarantor outside the

precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands
to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of any series, the Coupons
appertaining thereto or this Indenture may be served.

         The Issuer and the Guarantor will give to the Trustee written notice
of the location of each such office or agency and of any change of location
thereof. In case the Issuer and the Guarantor shall fail to maintain any agency
required by this Section be located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in
the location of any of the above agencies, presentations and demands may be
made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject
to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee,
each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be

appertaining to such Securities in respect of which such action was taken.

involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the
Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities in respect
to which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any

any Bearer Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, by giving
notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof (A) by mail to such Holders
who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee within the two years
preceding the notice at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and

least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if
required by Section 3.06 at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in

they shall appear on the registry books. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall promptly appoint a successor
trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument
in duplicate, executed by authority of its board of directors, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to

appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30
days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or
Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.12 on behalf of himself and all others similarly

          Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six

          to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
          insolvent, or a

Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a
successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed
by order of the Board or of the Guarantor's Board of Directors, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 315(e) of the

of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after
such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee.

Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the
Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor
trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the
Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the
evidence provided for in Section 7.01 of the action in that regard taken by the
Securityholders.

and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section

series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties
and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but,
nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, the Guarantor or of the
successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing
to act shall, subject to Section 10.04 pay over to the

                                      15
<PAGE>

successor trustee all monies at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor
trustee, the Issuer or the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments in
writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall,
nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected
by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.06.

         If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of
one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the Guarantor, the predecessor
Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any
applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable
to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor
trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the
predecessor trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
predecessor trustee, and 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 under separate indentures.

         No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall
accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section
6.09.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in
this Section 6.11 the Issuer or the Guarantor shall give notice thereof (i) if
any Bearer Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders
thereof, (A) by mail to such Holders who have filed their names and addresses
with the Trustee within the two years preceding the notice at such addresses as
were so furnished to the Trustee and (B) either through the customary notice
provisions of the clearing system or systems through which beneficial interests
in such Bearer Securities are owned if such Bearer Securities are held only in
global form or by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06 at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), and (ii) if any Registered Securities of a
series affected are then Outstanding, by mailing notice to the Holders of then
Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as
they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of appointment is
substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for
by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section
6.10. If the Issuer or the Guarantor fails to give such notice within ten days
after

                                      16
<PAGE>

acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall
cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer or the Guarantor."

Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of

With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 7) of the Holders of not

changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture
or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders of the Securities of each such series or of the Coupons
appertaining to such Securities; provided, that no such supplemental indenture
shall (a) (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, (ii) reduce the
principal amount thereof, (iii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment
of interest thereon, (iv) reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, (v)

similar adjustment provisions of the Securities or Coupons or otherwise in
accordance with the terms thereof, (ix) alter the provisions of Section 11.11
or 11.13 or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit
for the payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of
repayment at the option of the Securityholder, in each case without the consent
of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (b) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is
required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the
Holders of each Security so affected.

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

of the Board (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such
action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined

or an assistant secretary of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such
supplemental indenture, or upon the request of the Guarantor, accompanied by a
copy of a resolution of the Board (which resolution may provide general terms
or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such
action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order)
certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Guarantor
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the
Securities as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.01
the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantor in the execution of
such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise,
in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into such supplemental indenture.

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

         Promptly after the execution by the Issuer, the Guarantor and the
Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall give notice thereof (i) if any Bearer Securities of
a series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, (A) by mail to
such Holders who have

                                      20
<PAGE>

filed their names and addresses with the Trustee within the two years preceding
the notice at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (B) either
through the customary notice provisions of the clearing system or systems
through which beneficial interests in such Bearer Securities are owned if such
Bearer Securities are held only in global form or by publication at least once
in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by
Section 3.06 at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if
any Registered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, by mailing
notice thereof by first class mail to the Holders of then Outstanding
Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall
appear on the registry books, and in each case such notice shall set forth in
general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the
Trustee to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

         Section 2.25. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and
the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Guarantor and
the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

         Section 2.26. Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject
to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, may receive an Officers'
Certificate, a Guarantor's Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article 8 complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

         Section 2.27. Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental
Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as
to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action
taken by Securityholders. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new
Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Board, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any
such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the
Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then
Outstanding."

         "Section 9.01. Covenant Not to Merge, Consolidate, Sell or Convey
Property Except Under Certain Conditions. The Issuer and the Guarantor
covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell,
lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person,
unless (i) either (A) the Issuer or the Guarantor shall be the continuing legal
entity, or (B) the successor legal entity or the Person which acquires by sale,
lease or conveyance substantially all the assets of the Issuer or Guarantor (if
other than the Issuer or the Guarantor) shall be incorporated under the laws of
The Netherlands, or a member state of the European Union or the Organisation
for Economic Co-Operation and Development, and shall expressly assume the due
and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities and
Coupons, if any, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance
and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed or observed by the Issuer or the Guarantor, by supplemental indenture

consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and following such an
assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Issuer or the Guarantor, with the same
effect as if it had been named herein. Such successor corporation may cause to
be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Issuer or
the Guarantor prior to such succession any or all of the Securities issuable
hereunder which together with any Coupons appertaining thereto theretofore
shall not have been signed by the Issuer or the Guarantor and delivered to the
Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the
Issuer or the Guarantor, and subject to all the terms, conditions and
limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and
shall deliver any Securities together with any Coupons appertaining thereto
which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the
Issuer or the Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities
which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and
delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued
together with any Coupons appertaining thereto shall in all respects have the
same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore
or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this

Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the
execution hereof.

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

         In the event of any such sale or conveyance (other than a conveyance
by way of lease) the Issuer, the Guarantor or any successor corporation which
shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article
shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and
the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

         Section 9.03. Opinion of Counsel Delivered to Trustee. The Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, may receive an Opinion of
Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease
or conveyance, and any such assumption, and any such liquidation or
dissolution, complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture."

                                  "ARTICLE 13
                            GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

         Section 13.01. The Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally
guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, any premium and
interest on, and any additional amounts with respect to such Security and the
due and punctual payment of the sinking fund payments (if any) provided for
pursuant to the terms of such Security, when and as the same shall become due
and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repayment or
otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture.
In case of the failure of the Issuer punctually to pay any such principal,
premium, interest, additional amounts or sinking fund payment, the Guarantor
hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the
same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration,
redemption, repayment or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the
Issuer.

         Section 13.02. Net Payments. All payments of principal of and premium,
if any, interest and any other amounts on, or in respect of, the Securities of
any series shall be made by the Guarantor without withholding or deduction at
source for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, fees, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or
on behalf of The Netherlands (the "taxing jurisdiction") or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such taxes, fees,
duties, assessments or governmental charges are required to be withheld or
deducted by (i) the laws (or any regulations or ruling promulgated thereunder)
of a taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein or (ii) an official position regarding the application,
administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or
rulings (including, without limitation, a holding by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in a taxing jurisdiction or any political
subdivision thereof). If a withholding or deduction at source is required, the
Guarantor shall, subject to certain limitations and exceptions set forth below,
pay to the Holder of any such Security such additional amounts as may be
necessary so that every net payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or
any other amount made to such Holder, after such withholding or deduction,
shall not be less than the amount provided for in such Security and this
Indenture to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the Guarantor
shall not be required to make payment of such additional amounts for or on
account of:

                                      30
<PAGE>

         (a) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever
nature which would not have been imposed but for the fact that such Holder: (A)
was a resident, domiciliary or national of, or engaged in business or
maintained a permanent establishment or was physically present in, the relevant
taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or otherwise had some
connection with the relevant taxing jurisdiction other than by reason of the
mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, such Security; (B) presented
such Security for payment in the relevant taxing jurisdiction or any political
subdivision thereof, unless such Security could not have been presented for
payment elsewhere; or (C) presented such Security more than thirty (30) days
after the date on which the payment in respect of such Security first became
due and payable or provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that
the Holder would have been entitled to such additional amounts if it had
presented such Security for payment on any day within such period of thirty
(30) days;

         (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property
or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

         (c) any tax assessment or other governmental charge imposed on a
payment that is required to be made pursuant to any European Union Directive on
the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN council
meetings of November 26 - 27, 2000 and June 3, 2003 or any law implementing or
complying with, or introduced in order to confirm such directive;

         (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed
or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of
such Security to comply with any reasonable request by the Guarantor addressed
to the Holder within 90 days of such request (A) to provide information
concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such
beneficial owner or (B) to make any declaration or other similar claim or
satisfy any information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (A) or
(B), is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative
practice of the relevant taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision
thereof as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment
or other governmental charge; or

         (e) any combination of items (a), (b) (c) and (d);

nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, interest or any other amounts on, any such
Security to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole
beneficial owner of such Security to the extent such payment would be required
by the laws of the relevant taxing jurisdiction (or any political subdivision
or relevant taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income
for tax purposes of a beneficiary or partner or settlor with respect to such
fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not
have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of the
Security.

                                      31
<PAGE>

         Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of or any premium, interest or any other amounts on,
or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received on
the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be
deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by the
terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that,
in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect
thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of
additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be
construed as excluding the payment of additional amounts in those provisions
hereof where such express mention is not made.

         Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities of the applicable series, at least 10 days prior to the first
Interest Payment Date with respect to a series of Securities (or if the
Securities of such series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first
day on which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to
each date of payment of principal or interest if there has been any change with
respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Guarantor's Officer's
Certificate, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal
paying agent, if other than the Trustee, a Guarantor's Officer's Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such paying agent whether such payment of principal
of and premium, if any, interest or any other amounts on the Securities of such
series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such series without
withholding for or on account of any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other
governmental charge described in Section 13.02. If any such withholding shall
be required, then such Guarantor's Officer's Certificate shall specify by
taxing jurisdiction the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such
payments to such Holders of Securities, and the Guarantor agrees to pay to the
Trustee or such paying agent the additional amounts required by Section 13.02.
The Guarantor covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any paying agent for, and
to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably
incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any
Guarantor's Officer's Certificate furnished pursuant to Section 13.02.

         Section 13.03. Guarantee Unconditional, etc. The Guarantor hereby
agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as principal and not merely as
surety, and shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of,
and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of
any Security or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any
Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification, consent or indulgence
granted with respect thereto by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee, the
recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any action to enforce the same,
or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
merger,

                                      32
<PAGE>

insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to any such Security or the
Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that
this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the
principal of, any premium and interest on, and any additional amounts and
sinking fund payments required with respect to, the Securities and the complete
performance of all other obligations contained in the Securities. The Guarantor
further agrees, to the fullest extent that it lawfully may do so, that, as
between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
other hand, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Section 5.01 hereof for the purposes of this
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or prohibition extant under any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law of any jurisdiction
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby.

         Section 13.04. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment on any
Security, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored to
the Issuer or the Guarantor upon the bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization
of the Issuer or otherwise.

         Section 13.05. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all
rights of the Holder of any Security against the Issuer in respect of any
amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this
Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to
enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of
subrogation until the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any
additional amounts and sinking fund payments required with respect to, all
Securities shall have been paid in full.

         Section 13.06. Indemnity. As a separate and alternative stipulation,
the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that any sum expressed to
be payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Securities but which is
for any reason (whether or not now known or becoming known to the Issuer, the
Guarantor, the Trustee or any Holder of any Security) not recoverable from the
Guarantor on the basis of a guarantee will nevertheless be recoverable from it
as if it were the sole principal debtor and will be paid by it to the Trustee
on demand. This indemnity constitutes a separate and independent obligation
from the other obligations in this Indenture, gives rise to a separate and
independent cause of action and will apply irrespective of any indulgence
granted by the Trustee or any Holder of any Security.

         Section 13.07. Assumption by Guarantor. (a) The Guarantor may, without
the consent of the Holders, assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer hereunder with respect to a series of Securities and under the
Securities of such series if, after giving effect to such assumption, no Event
of Default or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both,
would become an Event

                                      33
<PAGE>

of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon such an assumption, the
Guarantor shall execute a supplemental indenture evidencing its assumption of
all such rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Issuer shall be released
from its liabilities hereunder and under such Securities as obligor on the
Securities of such Series.

         (b) The Guarantor shall assume all of the rights and obligations of
the Issuer hereunder with respect to a series of Securities and under the
Securities of such series if, upon a default by the Issuer in the due and
punctual payment of the principal, sinking fund payment, if any, premium, if
any, or interest on such Securities, the Guarantor is prevented by any court
order or judicial proceeding from fulfilling its obligations under Section
13.01 with respect to such series of Securities. Such assumption shall result
in the Securities of such series becoming the direct obligations of the
Guarantor and shall be effected without the consent of the Holders of the
Securities of any Series. Upon such an assumption, the Guarantor shall execute
a supplemental indenture evidencing its assumption of all such rights and
obligations of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall be released from its
liabilities hereunder and under such Securities as obligor on the Securities of
such Series."
