     The Partnership has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this
Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of its unsecured

Partnership, in accordance with its terms, have been done.

     This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that
are required to be a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, shall
be governed by such provisions.

     NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

     For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Securities
by the Holders thereof, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate
benefit of all Holders of the Securities or of any series thereof, as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

             DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION

Section 101. Definitions

     For all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided
or unless the context otherwise requires:

assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States, and, except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the term
"generally accepted accounting principles" with respect to any computation
required or permitted hereunder shall mean such accounting principles as are
generally accepted in the United States at the date of such computation;

<PAGE>
         (4) the words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of
similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular
Article, Section or other subdivision; and

         (5) the words "Article" and "Section" refer to an Article and Section,
respectively, of this Indenture.

Section 104.

     "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition,
"control" when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to
direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise,
and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the

maintenance, repairs, insurance, assessments, utilities, operating and labor
costs and other items that do not constitute payments for property rights)
during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale-Leaseback
Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended). In
the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a
penalty or other termination payment, such amount shall be the lesser of the
amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be
terminated (in which case the amount shall also include the amount of the
penalty or termination payment, but no rent shall be considered as required to
be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so
terminated) or the amount determined assuming no such termination.

     "Authenticating Agent" means any Person authorized by the Trustee pursuant
to Section 614 to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of one
or more series.

     "Authorized Newspaper" means a newspaper, in the English language or in an

thereof. If the Partnership shall change its form of entity to other than a
limited partnership, the references to officers or the Board of Directors of
Management shall mean the officers or the Board of Directors (or other
comparable governing body) of the Partnership.

Trustee.

Holders after such record date.

particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed

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

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

Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act

     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of
the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and
govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of
this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

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

invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 111. Benefits of Indenture

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

Section 113. Legal Holidays

     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities
(other than a provision of the Securities of any series which specifically
states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of
interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of
Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at
such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no
interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

Section 114. Language of Notices, Etc.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
Act required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language,

of publication.

Section 115. Interest Limitation

     It is the intention of the Partnership to conform strictly to all
applicable usury laws and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial
interpretations thereof. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby
would be usurious under any applicable law then, in that event, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Securities or this Indenture, it is agreed as
follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under
applicable law with respect to a Security shall under no circumstances exceed
the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited
to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such
Security shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Partnership), to the
extent permitted by applicable law; and (ii) in the event that the maturity of
any Security is accelerated or in the event of any redemption of such Security,
then such consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law may never
include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess
shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal
amount of such Security shall be paid in full, refunded to the Partnership), to
the extent permitted by applicable law. All calculations made to compute the
rate of interest with respect to a Security for the purpose of determining
whether such rate exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law shall be
made, to the extent permitted by such applicable law, by allocating and
spreading during the period of the full stated term of such Security all
interest any time contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such
Holder or by the Trustee on behalf of any such Holder in connection therewith so
that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time
during the term of the Security does not exceed the maximum amount or rate of
interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be
changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged than
that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law, references
in this Indenture or any Security to "applicable law" when used in the context
of determining the maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged
shall be deemed to refer to such applicable law as so amended to allow the
greater amount or rate of interest.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
     The right to accelerate maturity of any Security does not include the right
to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued to the date of such
acceleration, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the
continuing accrual after acceleration of interest in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture and such Security.

Section 116. Non-Recourse to Management; No Personal Liability of Officers,
             Directors, Employees, Unitholders or Shareholders

     Obligations of the Partnership under this Indenture and the Securities
hereunder are non-recourse to Management, and its Affiliates (other than the
Partnership and the General Partner), and payable only out of cash flow and
assets of the Partnership and the General Partner. The Trustee, and each Holder
of a Security by its acceptance thereof, will be deemed to have agreed in this
Indenture that (1) neither Management nor its assets (nor any of its Affiliates
other than the Partnership and the General Partner, nor their respective assets)
shall be liable for any of the obligations of the Partnership under this
Indenture or such Securities, and (2) neither Management nor any director,
officer, employee, shareholder or unitholder, as such, of the Partnership, the
Trustee, the General Partner, Management or any Affiliate of any of the
foregoing entities shall have any personal liability in respect of the
obligations of the Partnership under this Indenture or such Securities by reason
of his, her or its status. The agreements set forth in this Section are part of
the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

     KINDER MORGAN ENERGY PARTNERS, L. P., a Delaware limited partnership
(herein called the "Partnership", which term includes any successor Person under
the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to                 , or registered assigns, the principal sum of     United
States Dollars [state other currency] on                [if the Security is to
bear interest prior to Maturity, insert --, and to pay interest thereon from   ,
or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or

at the rate of % per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available
for payment [if applicable, insert --, and at the rate of     % per annum on any
overdue principal and premium and on any overdue installment of interest]. [If
applicable, insert -- The amount of interest payable for any period shall be
computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. The amount of
interest payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the days elapsed in any partial month.
In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Security is not
a Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made
on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or
other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if
made on the date the payment was originally payable. A "Business Day" shall
mean, when used with respect to any Place of Payment, each Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions
in that Place of Payment are authorized or obligated by law, executive order or

for such interest, which shall be the             or            (whether or not
a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of
which shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
or automated quotation system on which the Securities of this series may be
listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or
automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in such Indenture].

     [If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert -- The
principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a
default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated
Maturity and in such case the overdue principal of this Security shall bear
interest at the rate of     % per annum, which shall accrue from the date of
such default in payment to the date payment of such principal has been made or
duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal shall be payable on demand.
Any such interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on demand shall
bear interest at the rate of     % per annum, which shall accrue from the date
of such demand for payment to the date payment of such interest has been made or
duly provided for, and such interest shall also be payable on demand.]

an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be

affected under the Indenture at any time by the Partnership and the Trustee with
the consent of not less than the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series to be affected (voting as one
class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all
affected series (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Partnership with certain
provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of
any series then Outstanding to waive past defaults under the Indenture with
respect to such series and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the
Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Security and of any

of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 90
days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the
enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or [any premium or] interest
hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder, alter or impair the
obligation of the Partnership, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and [any premium and] interest on this Security at the times,
place(s) and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, except for
Section 115 of the Indenture (which limits interest to the maximum amount
permissible by law), the provisions of which are incorporated herein by
reference.

the Partnership may designate]], duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership and the Security
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.]

                                      -21-

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

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

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

     Obligations of the Partnership under the Indenture and the Securities
thereunder, including this Security, are non-recourse to Kinder Morgan
Management, LLC ("Management") and its Affiliates (other than the Partnership
and Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. (the "General Partner")), and payable only out of
cash flow and assets of the Partnership and the General Partner. The Trustee,
and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance hereof, will be deemed to have
agreed in the Indenture that (1) neither Management nor its assets (nor any of
its Affiliates other than the Partnership and the General Partner, nor their
respective assets) shall be liable for any of the obligations of the Partnership
under the Indenture or such Securities, including this Security, and (2) neither
Management nor any director, officer, employee, stockholder or unitholder, as
such, of the Partnership, the Trustee, the General Partner, Management or any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing entities shall have any personal liability in
respect of the obligations of the Partnership under the Indenture or such
Securities by reason of his, her or its status.

     The Indenture contains provisions that relieve the Partnership from the
obligation to comply with certain restrictive covenants in the Indenture and for
satisfaction and discharge at any time of the entire indebtedness upon
compliance by the Partnership with certain conditions set forth in the
Indenture.

     This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.

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

Section 204. Global Securities

     Every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a
legend in substantially the following form:

          THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
          INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE
          NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY
          NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO, OR REGISTERED OR EXCHANGED FOR
          SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF, ANY PERSON OTHER THAN
          THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY
          BE REGISTERED, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED
          IN THE INDENTURE. EVERY SECURITY AUTHENTICATED AND DELIVERED
          UPON REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN
          LIEU OF, THIS SECURITY SHALL BE A GLOBAL SECURITY SUBJECT TO
          THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.

     If Securities of a series are issuable in whole or in part in the form of
one or more Global Securities, as contemplated by Section 301, then,
notwithstanding Clause (9) of Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any
Global Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such
series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon
and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may
from time to time be reduced or increased, as the case may be, to reflect
exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any
reduction or increase in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented
thereby shall be made in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person
or Persons as shall be specified therein or in a Partnership Order. Subject to
the provisions of Sections 303, 304 and 305, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver any Global Security in the manner and upon instructions given by the
Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Partnership Order. Any
instructions by the Partnership with respect to

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Global Security shall be in a
Partnership Order (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel).

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

Section 205. Form of Trustee's Certificate and Authorization

     The Trustee's certificates of authentication shall be in substantially the

         (13) if the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities

circumstances other than those set forth in Section 305 in which any such Global

not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted
by Section 901(4)).

     All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as

Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate referred to above or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto.

     Any such Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate referred to above with
respect to Securities of any series filed with the Trustee on or before the
initial issuance of the Securities of such series shall be incorporated herein
by reference with respect to Securities of such series and shall thereafter be
deemed to be a part of the Indenture for all purposes relating to Securities of
such series as fully as if such Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate were
set forth herein in full.

     All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and,
unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the
Holders, for increases in the aggregate principal amount of such series of
Securities and issuances of additional Securities of such series or for the
establishment of additional terms with respect to the Securities of such series.

     If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action
shall be certified by an authorized officer or other authorized person of
Management on behalf of the Partnership and delivered to the Trustee at or prior
to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth, or providing the
manner for determining, the terms of the series.

     With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, such
Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate may provide general terms for
Securities of such series and provide either that the specific terms of
particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a Partnership Order,
or that such terms shall be determined by the Partnership, or one or more of the
Partnership's agents designated in an Officers' Certificate, in accordance with
a Partnership Order.

Section 302. Denominations

     The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to
the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

<PAGE>
Section 303.      Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Partnership by the
Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, President or any Vice President of Management and need not be attested.
The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile.

     Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of Management shall bind the Partnership,
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.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Partnership may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Partnership to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Partnership Order
for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in
accordance with the Partnership Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities; provided, however, that in the case of Securities offered in a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities
from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without
limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from
the Partnership or its duly authorized agents, thereafter promptly confirmed in
writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a
Partnership Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first
authentication of Securities of such series. If the form or terms of the
Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more
Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to any Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required to be
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 102, and (subject to Section 601)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

         (1) The form and terms (or the manner of determining the terms) of such
Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted
by Section 201, that such form or forms have been established in conformity with
the provisions of this Indenture;

         (2) if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case of
Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms
have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel (which
conditions are reasonably acceptable to the Trustee); and

         (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and issued by the Partnership in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, which conditions are reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations
of the Partnership enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject

                                      -28-
<PAGE>
to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture,
equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of such Series
Outstanding; and

         (4) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request;

and, if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities
created by an indenture supplemental hereto, also stating that all conditions
precedent to the execution of the supplemental indenture with respect to that
series of Securities have been complied with, the Partnership has the power to
execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary
action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been executed
and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Partnership enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement
of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors'
rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable
principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity).

     If such form or forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall
not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 301 or the Partnership Order and Opinion of Counsel
or Board Resolution or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to
such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be
issued.

     With respect to Securities of a series not to be originally issued at one
time, the Trustee may rely upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents
delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in
connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series and any
subsequent request by the Partnership to the Trustee to authenticate Securities
of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Partnership that as of the date of such request, the statements
made in the Officers' Certificate shall be true and correct as if made on such
date.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     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 by manual signature of an authorized signatory, 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

                                      -29-
<PAGE>
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Partnership, and the Partnership shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309 for all purposes of this Indenture, such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304. Temporary Securities

     Pending the preparation of Definitive Securities of any series, the
Partnership may execute, and upon receipt of the documents required by Section
303, together with a Partnership 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 of like series in lieu
of which they are issued and 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.

     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Partnership will
cause Definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of Definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for Definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained pursuant to Section
1002 for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, without charge
to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities of any series the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more Definitive Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as Definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

     The Partnership shall cause to be kept at an office or agency of the
Security Registrar in The City of New York a register (the register maintained
in such office or in any other office or agency of the Partnership in a Place of
Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Partnership
shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.
The Partnership shall, prior to the issuance of any Securities hereunder,
appoint the Trustee as the initial "Security Registrar" for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided and its
Corporate Trust Office which, at the date hereof, is located at 12 East 49th
Street, 37th Floor, New York, New York, 10017, as the initial office or agency
in The City of New York where the Security Register will be maintained. The
Partnership may at any time replace such Security Registrar, change such office
or agency or act as its own Security Registrar. The Partnership will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any change of the Security Registrar or of the
location of such office or agency. At all reasonable times the Security Register
shall be available for inspection by the Trustee.

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series
at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained pursuant to Section 1002
for such purpose, the Partnership 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, of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global
Security) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor,
upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Partnership shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Partnership, 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 Partnership or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Partnership and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Partnership 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 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

     Neither the Trustee nor the Partnership shall be required (1) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series (or of any series
and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption
of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security may be
transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in the name
of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee
thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, except as provided in this
paragraph. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration or
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a
Global Security, except as provided in this paragraph. If (1) (A) the Depositary
for a Global Security notifies the Partnership that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Global Security or ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act, and (B) a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Partnership within 90 days, (2) an Event of Default has

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such series and the
Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue
certificated securities in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Securities of
such series (in which case the Partnership shall deliver certificated securities
within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Partnership determines in its sole
discretion that Securities of a series issued in global form shall no longer be
represented by a Global Security, then such Global Security may be exchanged by
such Depositary for Definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, registered in
the names of, and the transfer of such Global Security or portion thereof may be
registered to, such Persons as such Depositary shall direct.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, together with such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Partnership or the Trustee to
save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, the Partnership
shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

     If there shall be delivered to the Partnership and the Trustee (1) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (2)
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and
any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Partnership or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Partnership shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. If, after the
delivery of such new Security, a bona fide purchaser of the original Security in
lieu of which such new Security was issued presents for payment or registration
such original Security, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new
Security from the party to whom it was delivered or any party taking therefrom,
except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security
or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or
expense incurred by the Partnership and the Trustee in connection therewith.

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

     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Partnership
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in exchange for
any mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security
shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Partnership, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
     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

     Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, 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.

     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 relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Partnership, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

         (1) The Partnership 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 Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in
the following manner. The Partnership 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 Partnership 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 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 Partnership of such Special Record Date and,
in the name and at the expense of the Partnership, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such
series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date. 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 and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

         (2) The Partnership 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 or automated quotation system on which
such Securities may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, if, after notice given by the

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
Partnership 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.

     For each series of Securities, the Partnership shall, prior to 10:30 a.m.
(New York City time) on each payment date for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, if any, deposit with the Trustee money in immediately available funds
sufficient to make cash payments due on the applicable payment date.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners

     Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, prior to due presentment of a Security for
registration of transfer, the Partnership, the Trustee and any agent of the
Partnership or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) any interest
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security is overdue, and neither the Partnership, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Partnership or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its
behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect
to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Partnership,
the Trustee and any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee as the owner of such
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Partnership, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

Section 309. Cancellation

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Partnership may at any time deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Partnership may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Partnership has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. 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 Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its
customary procedures, and the Trustee shall thereafter deliver to the
Partnership a certificate with respect to such disposition.

<PAGE>
Section 310. Computation of Interest

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and interest on the
Securities of each series for any partial period shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the number of days elapsed in any
partial month.

Section 311. CUSIP Numbers

     The Partnership in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (in
addition to the other identification numbers printed on the Securities), and, if
so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness of such "CUSIP" numbers either
as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in
or omission of such "CUSIP" numbers. The Partnership will promptly notify the
Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

     This Indenture shall upon Partnership Request cease to be of further effect
with respect to Securities of any series (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities herein expressly
provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Partnership, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
with respect to such Securities, when

         (1) either

              (A) all such Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) such Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and
which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) such
Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
segregated and held in trust by the Partnership and thereafter repaid to the
Partnership or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

              (B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation

                 (i) have become due and payable,

                 (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity
within one year, or

                 (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption
by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Partnership,

and the Partnership in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
this purpose an amount of money in the currency or currency units in which such
Securities are payable sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the
case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity
or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

         (2) the Partnership has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Partnership with respect to such Securities; and

         (3) the Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to such Securities have been complied with.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to Securities of any series, (i) the obligations of the Partnership to
the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Trustee to any
Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and the right of the Trustee to resign
under Section 610 shall survive, and (ii) if money shall have been deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Partnership and/or the Trustee under Sections 402, 606, 701
and 1002 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

Section 402. Application of Trust Money

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Partnership acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and
interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

                                    REMEDIES

Section 501. Events of Default

     "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any
series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
         (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that
series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a
period of 30 days; or

         (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on)
any Security of that series at its Maturity; or

         (3) default in the performance, or breach, of any term, covenant or
warranty of the Partnership in this Indenture (other than a term, covenant or
warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this
Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that
series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Partnership by the
Trustee or to the Partnership and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that 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; or

         (4) the Partnership pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy
Law (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of any order for
relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a
Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or (D) makes a
general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

         (5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under
any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Partnership in an
involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Partnership or for all or
substantially all of its property, or (C) orders the liquidation of the
Partnership; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days;
or

         (6) any other Event of Default provided as contemplated by Section 301
with respect to Securities of that series.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

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

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

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
         (1) the Partnership has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay

              (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

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

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

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

and

         (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series,
other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which
have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 513.

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

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

     The Partnership covenants that if

         (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when
such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of
30 days, or

         (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,

the Partnership will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
law out of the property of the Partnership, or any other obligor upon such
Securities, wherever situated.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series 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 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

     In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Partnership, or any
other obligor upon the Securities, their property or their creditors, the
Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act
in order to have claims of Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such
proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized 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 Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

     No provision of this Indenture 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; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of Holders, vote for the election of a trustee
in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other
similar committee.

Section 505. 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
Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 506. Application of Money Collected

     Any money or property collected or to be applied 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 or property on
account of principal or any premium or interest,

                                      -39-
<PAGE>
upon presentation of the Securities 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 607;

     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of
and any premium and interest on the Securities 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 and any premium and interest, respectively; and

     THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Partnership.

Section 507. Limitation on Suits

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 508. 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

                                      -40-
<PAGE>
any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on such Security on
the respective Stated 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 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies

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

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section
306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to
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 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities 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 512. Control by Holders

     Subject to the provisions of Section 603, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series;
provided, however, that

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

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

         (3) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have
the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith
shall determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
personal liability or would otherwise be contrary to applicable law.

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults

     Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series may on behalf of Holders of all the Securities of such
series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except

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

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

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

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to
file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against
any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided, however, that neither this Section nor the Trust
Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an
undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Trustee,
in any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series to which the suit relates, or in any suit instituted by any Holder for
the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity expressed by
such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the
Redemption Date).

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   THE TRUSTEE

Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities

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

                  (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
         such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with
         respect to the Securities of such series,

                                      -42-
<PAGE>
         and no implied covenants or obligations shall 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
         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 any series of
Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise with
respect to the Securities of such series such rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as
a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

         (c) No provisions 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 willful misconduct, except that

                  (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
         of Subsection (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 or a majority in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities of any series 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.

                                      -43-

Section 602. Notice of Defaults

     If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Trustee shall, within 90 days after it occurs, transmit, in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act,
notice of all uncured or unwaived Defaults known to it; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a Default in payment on the Securities of any series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding the notice if and so long as the board
of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or
responsible officers of the Trustee determine in good faith that withholding
such notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities of such series;
provided, further, however, that, in the case of any default or breach of the
character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to the Securities of such
series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after
the occurrence thereof.

Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee

     Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

         (1) the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;

         (2) any request, direction, order or demand of the Partnership
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Partnership Request or
Partnership Order (or in the case of a Periodic Offering, as agreed in
procedures set forth in a Partnership Order pursuant to Section 303) and any
resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board
Resolution;

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

         (4) 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;

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

         (6) 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

                                      -44-
<PAGE>
paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may, without obligation
to do so, make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
as it may see fit; and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further
inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Partnership, personally or by agent or attorney;

         (7) 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

         (8) the Trustee may request that the Partnership deliver an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an
Officers' Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 604. 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
Partnership, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating
Agent makes any 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 Partnership of Securities
or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605. May Hold Securities

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Partnership, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections
608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Partnership with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent.

Section 606. 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 any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed with the Partnership.

Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement

     The Partnership agrees:

         (1) to 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);

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

         (2) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances 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 any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith; and

         (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts 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.

     The obligations of the Partnership under this Section to compensate the
Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder.

     Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law,
when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event
of Default specified in Section 501(4) or Section 501(5), the expenses
(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture and the defeasance of the Securities.

Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests

     If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility

     There shall at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to
the Securities of each series, at least one of which shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined
capital and surplus required by the Trust Indenture Act. If such Person
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person 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 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor

     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 611.

                                      -46-
<PAGE>
     The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or
more series by giving written notice thereof to the Partnership. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 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.

     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
Partnership. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not
have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     If at any time:

         (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written
request therefor by the Partnership or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

         (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Partnership 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 Partnership, acting pursuant to the
authority of a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a
successor Trustee or Trustees.

     If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to
the Securities of one or more series, the Partnership, 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 611. 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 Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
delivered to the Partnership 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 611, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Partnership. If no successor Trustee

                                      -47-
<PAGE>
with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the
Partnership or Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such
series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

     The Partnership 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 to all Holders
of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor

         (1) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Partnership 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, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Partnership or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the
retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

         (2) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Partnership,
the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (A) 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, (B)
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
(C) 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 as co-trustees of
the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, but, on request of the Partnership, or any successor Trustee,
such

                                      -48-
<PAGE>
retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, 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.

         (3) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Partnership shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred
to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.

         (4) 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 612. 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 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Partnership

     If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Partnership or
any other obligor upon the Securities, the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Partnership or any such other obligor.

Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent

     The Trustee (upon notice to the Partnership) may appoint an Authenticating
Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such
series issued upon original issue (in accordance with procedures acceptable to
the Trustee) and upon 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 Partnership and shall at all times be a corporation organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia, 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

                                      -49-
<PAGE>
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 all or substantially all of
the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such 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 such Authenticating
Agent.

     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Partnership. 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 Partnership. 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 Partnership. 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.

     Except with respect to an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of
the Partnership, the Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

     If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to
this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:

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

              HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND PARTNERSHIP

Section 701. Partnership to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders

     The Partnership will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee

         (1) semi-annually, not later than each Interest Payment Date in each
year, a list for each series of Securities, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of
such series as of the preceding Regular Record Date, and

         (2) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within
30 days after the receipt by the Partnership of any such request, a list of
similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such list is furnished;

provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security
Registrar for Securities of a series, no such list need be furnished with
respect to such series of Securities.

Section 702. Preservation of Information; Communications to Holder.

     The Trustee shall comply with the obligations imposed upon it pursuant to
Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act.

     The rights of the Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to
their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the corresponding
rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the Trust
Indenture Act.

     Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with

     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with

                                      -54-
<PAGE>
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.

     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.

Section 903. 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 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The
Trustee shall enter into any supplemental indenture which does not adversely
affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or

supplemental indenture which adversely affects the Trustee's own rights, duties
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

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 Partnership shall so
determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Partnership, to any such supplemental indenture
may be prepared and executed by the Partnership and authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. Failure to
make a notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect
of any amendment, supplement or waiver.

                                    COVENANTS

Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

     The Partnership covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium
and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of
the Securities and this Indenture.

Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency

     The Partnership will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Partnership in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Partnership will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Partnership shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Partnership hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

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

     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities as
contemplated by Section 301, the Partnership hereby initially designates as the
Place of Payment for each series of Securities The City of New York, and
initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office as
the Partnership's office or agency for each such purpose in such city.

Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust

     If the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries shall at any time act as
Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the
Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium
and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act.

     Whenever the Partnership shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of
or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount,

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such
Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act.

     The Partnership will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) hold all sums held by it for
the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on
Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of
as herein provided; (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the
Partnership (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the
making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on
the Securities of that series; and (3) during the continuance of any such
default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the
Securities of that series.

     The Partnership may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Partnership Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums
held in trust by the Partnership 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
Partnership or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to
the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the state which escheat
laws control and the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the state which escheat laws control for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Partnership as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Partnership cause
to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be paid to the state whose escheat laws control.

Section 1004. Statement by Officers as to Default

     The Partnership will deliver to the Trustee, within 150 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Partnership ending after the date hereof, an
Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the
signer or signers thereof the Partnership is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture
(without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided
hereunder) and, if the Partnership shall be in default, specifying all such
defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

                                      -57-
<PAGE>
Section 1005. Existence

     Subject to Article VIII, the Partnership will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the
Partnership shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if it
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Partnership.

Section 1006. Limitations on Liens

     The Partnership will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, create,
assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property, or upon
any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary owning or leasing any Principal
Property, whether owned or leased on the date of this Indenture or thereafter
acquired, to secure any Debt of the Partnership or any other Person (other than
the Securities issued hereunder), without in any such case making effective
provision whereby all of the Securities Outstanding hereunder shall be secured
equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Debt so long as such Debt shall be
so secured. This restriction shall not apply to:

         (1) Permitted Liens;

         (2) any Lien upon any property or assets created at the time of
acquisition of such property or assets by the Partnership or any Subsidiary or
within one year after such time to secure all or a portion of the purchase price
for such property or assets or Debt incurred to finance such purchase price,
whether such Debt was incurred prior to, at the time of or within one year after
the date of such acquisition;

         (3) any Lien upon any property or assets to secure all or part of the
cost of construction, development, repair or improvements thereon or to secure
Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year after completion of
such construction, development, repair or improvements or the commencement of
full operations thereof (whichever is later), to provide funds for any such
purpose;

         (4) any Lien upon any property or assets existing thereon at the time
of the acquisition thereof by the Partnership or any Subsidiary (whether or not
the obligations secured thereby are assumed by the Partnership or any
Subsidiary); provided, however, that such Lien only encumbers the property or
assets so acquired;

         (5) any Lien upon any property or assets of a Person existing thereon
at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary by acquisition, merger or
otherwise; provided, however, that such Lien only encumbers the property or
assets of such Person at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary;

         (6) any Lien upon any property or assets of the Partnership or any
Subsidiary in existence on the Issue Date or provided for pursuant to agreements
existing on the Issue Date;

         (7) Liens imposed by law or order as a result of any proceeding before
any court or regulatory body that is being contested in good faith, and Liens
which secure a judgment

                                      -58-
<PAGE>
or other court-ordered award or settlement as to which the Partnership or the
applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, has not exhausted its appellate
rights;

         (8) any extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement (or
successive extensions, renewals, refinancing, refunding or replacements) of
Liens, in whole or in part, referred to in Clauses (1) through (7), inclusive,
of this Section; provided, however, that any such extension, renewal,
refinancing, refunding or replacement Lien shall be limited to the property or
assets covered by the Lien extended, renewed, refinanced, refunded or replaced
and that the obligations secured by any such extension, renewal, refinancing,
refunding or replacement Lien shall be in an amount not greater than the amount
of the obligations secured by the Lien extended, renewed, refinanced, refunded
or replaced and any expenses of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries (including
any premium) incurred in connection with such extension, renewal, refinancing,
refunding or replacement; or

         (9) any Lien resulting from the deposit of moneys or evidence of
indebtedness in trust for the purpose of defeasing Debt of the Partnership or
any Subsidiary.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Partnership
may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist
any Lien upon any Principal Property to secure Debt of the Partnership or any
Person (other than the Securities) that is not excepted by Clauses (1) through
(9), inclusive, of this Section without securing the Securities issued
hereunder, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Debt then
outstanding secured by such Lien and all similar Liens, together with all
Attributable Indebtedness from Sale-Leaseback Transactions (excluding
Sale-Leaseback Transactions permitted by Clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of
Section 1007), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 1007. Restriction of Sale-Leaseback Transaction

     The Partnership will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in
a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless:

         (1) such Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the
date of completion of the acquisition of the Principal Property subject thereto
or the date of the completion of construction, development or substantial repair
or improvement, or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property,
whichever is later;

         (2) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period,
including renewals, of not more than three years;

         (3) the Partnership or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt
secured by a Lien on the Principal Property subject thereto in a principal
amount equal to or exceeding the Attributable Indebtedness from such
Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Securities;
or

         (4) the Partnership or such Subsidiary, within a one-year period after
such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not
less than the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to
(A) the prepayment,

                                      -59-
<PAGE>
repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of Pari Passu Debt of the
Partnership or any Subsidiary, or (B) the expenditure or expenditures for
Principal Property used or to be used in the ordinary course of business of the
Partnership or its Subsidiaries.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Partnership
may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction
that is not excepted by Clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of this Section,
provided that the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-Leaseback
Transaction, together with the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding
Debt (other than the Securities) secured by Liens upon Principal Properties not
excepted by Clauses (1) through (9), inclusive, of Section 1006, do not exceed
10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 1008. Waiver of Certain Covenants

     The Partnership may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in Section 1005, 1006 or 1007 with
respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of all affected series (voting 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, but 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 Partnership and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term,
provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

     A waiver which changes or eliminates any term, provision or condition 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 the
Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such term, provision or
condition, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the
Holders of Securities of any other series.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101. Applicability of Article

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

Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee

     The election of the Partnership to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Partnership of less than all the Securities of any series, the Partnership
shall, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed
by the Partnership (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the
Securities to be redeemed. In

                                      -60-

restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, or (2) pursuant to an election of the Partnership
which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the
Partnership shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction or condition.

Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed

     If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless
all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed),
the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis or by any
other method which the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and which complies
with any securities exchange or other applicable requirements for redemption of
portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
for Securities of that series.

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

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

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail (if international
mail, by air mail), postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed,
at his address appearing in the Security Register.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

         (1) the Redemption Date,

         (2) the Redemption Price,

         (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series and of a
specified tenor are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of
partial redemption of any Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular
Securities to be redeemed,

         (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon
will cease to accrue on and after said date,

                                      -61-
<PAGE>
         (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for
payment of the Redemption Price, and

         (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

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

Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price

     On or prior to 10:30 a.m. New York City Time on any Redemption Date, the
Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Partnership is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date)
accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to
be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Partnership shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Partnership at the Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and
the provisions of Section 307.

         If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until
paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in
the Security.

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part

     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a
Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Partnership or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Partnership and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Partnership 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 of like
tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Security so surrendered.

                                  SINKING FUNDS

Section 1201. Applicability of Article

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

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

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities

     The Partnership (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other
than any previously called for redemption), and (2) may apply as a credit
Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the
Partnership pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application
of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such
series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities 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 sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund

     Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), the Partnership will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to
be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have
not been previously so credited, and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking
fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense
of the Partnership in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having
been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms
and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                                   DEFEASANCE

Section 1301. Applicability of Article

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to each series of
Securities except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series.

Section 1302. Legal Defeasance

     In addition to discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 401, the
Partnership shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
on all the Securities of such a series on the 91st day after the date of the
deposit referred to in Clause (1) below, and the provisions of this Indenture
with respect to the Securities of such series shall no longer be in effect
(except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities
of such series and the Partnership's right of optional redemption, if any, (ii)
substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, (iii) rights of
Holders of Securities to receive payments of principal thereof and interest
thereon, upon the original stated due dates therefor or on the specified
redemption dates therefor (but not upon acceleration), and remaining rights of
the holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (iv) the rights,
obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the
Partnership's obligations in connection therewith (including, but not limited
to, Section 607), (v) the rights, if any, to convert or exchange the Securities
of such series, (vi) the rights of Holders of Securities of such series as
beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee
payable to all or any of them, and (vii) the obligations of the Partnership
under Section 1002), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Partnership, shall,
upon a Partnership Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same,
if the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"):

         (1) The Partnership has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust, for the purposes of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of Holders of the Securities of such series (A) cash in an
amount, or (B) in the case of any series of Securities the payments on which may
only be made in legal coin or currency of the United States, U.S. Government
Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such
amounts as will insure the availability of cash, or (C) a combination thereof,
certified to be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay (i) the principal and interest and premium, if
any, on all Securities of such series on each date that such principal, interest
or premium, if any, is due and payable or on any Redemption Date established
pursuant to Clause (3) below, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments on
the dates on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture and the Securities of such series;

         (2) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
based on the fact that (A) the Partnership has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date
hereof, there has been a change in the

                                      -64-
<PAGE>
applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and such
opinion shall confirm that, Holders of the Securities of such series will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax
on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have
been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

         (3) If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity
(other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice
of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or
provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made;

         (4) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit;

         (5) Such defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting
interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities
are in default within the meaning of such Act);

         (6) Such defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the
Partnership is a party or by which it is bound;

         (7) Such defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such
deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under
such Act or exempt from registration thereunder; and

         (8) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated by this provision
have been complied with.

     For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Partnership, and any other
obligor upon the Securities of such series shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire debt represented by the Securities of such series, which
shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section
1304 and the rights and obligations referred to in Clauses (i) through (vii),
inclusive, of the first paragraph of this Section, and to have satisfied all its
other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar
as the Securities of such series are concerned.

Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance

     The Partnership and any other obligor shall be released on the 91st day
after the date of the deposit referred to in Clause (1) below from its
obligations under Sections 704, 801, 1005, 1006 and 1007 with respect to the
Securities of any series on and after the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and the Securities of such
series shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver, consent or
declaration or other action or Act of Holders

                                      -65-
<PAGE>
(and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but
shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder. For
this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the
Securities of such series, the Partnership may omit to comply with and shall
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
any such Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to such Section or by reason of any reference in such Section
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 501,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the
Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby. The following shall be
the conditions to application of this Section 1303:

         (1) The Partnership has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following
payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of Holders of the Securities of such series, (A) cash in an amount, or
(B) in the case of any series of Securities the payments on which may only be
made in legal coin or currency of the United States, U.S. Government
Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such
amounts as will insure the availability of cash, or (C) a combination thereof,
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay (i) the principal and interest and premium, if any, on all
Securities of such series on each date that such principal, interest or premium,
if any, is due and payable or on any Redemption Date established pursuant to
Clause (2) below, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture and the Securities of such series;

         (2) If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity
(other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice
of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or
provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made;

         (3) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit;

         (4) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
which shall confirm that Holders of the Securities of such series will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax
on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would have
been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;

         (5) Such covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all
Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act);

         (6) Such covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which
the Partnership is a party or by which it is bound;

                                      -66-
<PAGE>
         (7) Such covenant defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from
such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be
registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder; and

         (8) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent
provided for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this provision
have been complied with.

Section 1304. Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of
Securities

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all moneys
or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
1302 or 1303 (and all funds earned on such moneys or U.S. Government
Obligations) shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Partnership acting as its
own Paying Agent), to Holders of the particular Securities of such series for
the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the
Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest;
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. Subject to Sections 1302 and 1303, the Trustee shall promptly
pay to the Partnership upon Partnership Order any moneys held by it at any time,
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification delivered to the Trustee, are
in excess of the amounts required to effect the defeasance with respect to the
Outstanding Securities in question.

Section 1305. Repayment to Partnership

     The Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly shall pay or return to the
Partnership upon Partnership Request any money and U.S. Government Obligations
held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal
of and any interest on the Securities of any series for which money or U.S.
Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303,
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification delivered to the Trustee, are
in excess of the amounts required to effect the defeasance with respect to the
Outstanding Securities in question.

     The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall apply to any
money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that remains
unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any series of Securities for which
money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section
1302 or 1303.

Section 1306. Reinstatement

     If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U. S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
obligations of the Partnership under this Indenture and the Securities of the
applicable series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Indenture until such time as the Trustee or the Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with this

                                      -67-
<PAGE>
Article; provided, however, that if the Partnership has made any payment of
principal of or interest on any Securities of such series because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the
rights of Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or
U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

                                      -68-

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be
duly executed in multiple counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and
the same instrument, all as of the day and year first above written.

Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed (either physically or

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>

by means of a facsimile or an electronic transmission, provided that such
electronic transmission is transmitted through the facilities of a Depositary)
by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except
as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered (either physically or by means of a
facsimile or an electronic transmission, provided that such electronic
transmission is transmitted through the facilities of a Depositary) to the
Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Partnership. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Partnership, if made in the manner provided in this
Section.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including a
Depositary that is a Holder of a Global Security, may make, give or take, by a
proxy or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to
be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is a Holder of a
Global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of
interests in any such Global Security.

     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. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by
any Person, and the date of commencement of such Person's holding the same,
shall be proved by the Security Register.

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

     Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take
any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or
more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment
with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount.

                                     - 9 -

     The Partnership may set any day as the record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give
or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of Securities of such series, but the Partnership shall have no
obligation to do so. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such
record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date.

Section 105.  Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Partnership

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

          (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Partnership shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made in writing and actually received
by the Trustee at its office at 5847 San Felipe, Suite 1050, Houston, Texas
77057, or at any other address previously furnished in writing by the Trustee,
or

          (2) the Partnership by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the
Partnership addressed to it at One Allen Center, Suite 1000, 500 Dallas, Houston
Texas, 77002, to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Partnership.

Section 106.  Notice to Holders; Waiver

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid (if international mail, by
air mail), to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears
in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not
earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to 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 mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed
shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or
not such Holder actually receives such notice.

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

     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of
any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such
notification as shall be

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>

made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification
for every purpose hereunder.

Section 107.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act

     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of
the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and
govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of
this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

Section 108.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents

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

Section 109.  Successors and Assigns

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

Section 110.  Separability Clause

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

Section 111.  Benefits of Indenture

     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, any benefit or any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 112.  Governing Law

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

Section 113.  Legal Holidays

     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities
(other than a provision of the Securities of any series which specifically
states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of
interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of
Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at
such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the

                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>

Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the
case may be.

Section 114.  Language of Notices, Etc

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

Section 115.  Interest Limitation

     It is the intention of the Partnership to conform strictly to all
applicable usury laws and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial
interpretations thereof. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby
would be usurious under any applicable law then, in that event, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Securities or this Indenture, it is agreed as
follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under
applicable law with respect to a Security shall under no circumstances exceed
the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited
to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such
Security shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Partnership), to the
extent permitted by applicable law; and (ii) in the event that the maturity of
any Security is accelerated or in the event of any redemption of such Security,
then such consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law may never
include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess
shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal
amount of such Security shall be paid in full, refunded to the Partnership), to
the extent permitted by applicable law. All calculations made to compute the
rate of interest with respect to a Security for the purpose of determining
whether such rate exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law shall be
made, to the extent permitted by such applicable law, by allocating and
spreading during the period of the full stated term of such Security all
interest any time contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such
Holder or by the Trustee on behalf of any such Holder in connection therewith so
that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time
during the term of the Security does not exceed the maximum amount or rate of
interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be
changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged than
that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law, references
in this Indenture or any Security to "applicable law" when used in the context
of determining the maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged
shall be deemed to refer to such applicable law as so amended to allow the
greater amount or rate of interest.

     The right to accelerate maturity of any Security does not include the right
to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued to the date of such
acceleration, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the
continuing accrual after acceleration of interest in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture and such Security.

Section 116.   Non-Recourse to Management; No Personal Liability of Officers,

     Obligations of the Partnership under this Indenture and the Securities
hereunder are non-recourse to Management, and its Affiliates (other than the
Partnership and the General Partner), and payable only out of cash flow and
assets of the Partnership and the General Partner. The Trustee, and each Holder
of a Security by its acceptance thereof, will be deemed to have agreed in this
Indenture that (1) neither Management nor its assets (nor any of its Affiliates
other than the Partnership and the General Partner, nor their respective assets)
shall be liable for any of the obligations of the Partnership under this
Indenture or such Securities, and (2) neither Management nor any director,
officer, employee, shareholder or unitholder, as such, of the Partnership, the
Trustee, the General Partner, Management or any Affiliate of any of the
foregoing entities shall have any personal liability in respect of the
obligations of the Partnership under this Indenture or such Securities by reason
of his, her or its status. The agreements set forth in this Section are part of
the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

                                 SECURITY FORMS

Section 201.  Forms Generally

     The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the form set forth
in this Article, or in such other form as shall be established by or pursuant to
a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each
case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such

endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with applicable laws or
the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Securities of such series may be listed or traded or of any Depositary therefor

Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by
an authorized officer or other authorized Person on behalf of the Partnership
and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Partnership
Order contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities.

     Any form of Security approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution must be

Trustee's authentication of Securities in that form.

     The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on
steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined
by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of
such Securities.

     KINDER MORGAN ENERGY PARTNERS, L. P., a Delaware limited partnership
(herein called the "Partnership", which term includes any successor Person under
the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to

States Dollars [state other currency] on          [if the Security is to bear
interest prior to Maturity, insert--, and to pay interest thereon from         ,
or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, semi-annually on          and          in each year,
commencing          , at the rate of          % per annum, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment [if applicable, insert--, and at
the rate of          % per annum on any overdue principal and premium and on any
overdue installment of interest]. [If applicable, insert -- The amount of
interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day
months and a 360-day year. The amount of interest payable for any partial period
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the
days elapsed in any partial month. In the event that any date on which interest
is payable on this Security is not a Business Day, then a payment of the
interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a
Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such
delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was
originally payable. A "Business Day" shall mean, when used with respect to any
Place of Payment, each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is
not a day on which banking institutions in that Place of Payment are authorized
or obligated by law, executive order or

provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture,
be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest, which shall be the          or          (whether or not a
Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of
which shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
or automated quotation system on which the Securities of this series may be
listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or
automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in such Indenture].

[If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert--The
principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a
default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated
Maturity and in such case the overdue principal of this Security shall bear
interest at the rate of            per annum, which shall accrue from the date
of such default in payment to the date payment of such principal has been made
or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal shall be payable on
demand. Any such interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on demand
shall bear interest at the rate of          % per annum, which shall accrue from
the date of such demand for payment to the date payment of such interest has
been made or duly provided for, and such interest shall also be payable on
demand.]

any)] and [if applicable, insert--any such] interest on this Security will be

America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts [state other currency].]

[If a Definitive Security, insert--Payment of the principal of [(and premium, if
any)] and [if applicable, insert--any such] interest on this Security will be
made at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained for that purpose

request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee

its Affiliates other than the Partnership and the General Partner, nor their
respective assets) shall be liable for any of the obligations of the Partnership
under the Indenture or such Securities, including this Security, and (2) neither
Management nor any director, officer, employee, stockholder or unitholder, as
such, of the Partnership, the Trustee, the General Partner, Management or any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing entities shall have any personal liability in
respect of the obligations of the Partnership under the Indenture or such
Securities by reason of his, her or its status.

exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any
reduction or increase in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented

102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the
reduction or increase, as the case may be, in the principal amount of Securities
represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the

interest on any Securities of the series may be determined with reference to an
index, including, but not limited to an index based on a currency or currencies
other than that in which the Securities of that series are payable, or any other
type of index, the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

          (20) if other than as provided in Sections 1302 and 1303, the terms
and conditions upon which and the manner in which such series of Securities may
be defeased or discharged;

          (21) if other than the Trustee, the identity of any other trustee, the
Security Registrar and any Paying Agent;

          (22) any restrictions or other provisions with respect to the transfer
or exchange of the Securities; and

          (23) any other terms of the Securities of the series (which terms
shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as
permitted by Section 901(5)).

     All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as
to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the
Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate referred to above or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto.

     Any such Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate referred to above with
respect to Securities of any series filed with the Trustee on or before the
initial issuance of the Securities of such series shall be incorporated herein
by reference with respect to Securities of such series and shall thereafter be
deemed to be a part of the Indenture for all purposes relating to Securities of
such series as fully as if such Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate were
set forth herein in full.

     All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and,
unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the
Holders, for increases in the aggregate principal amount of such series of
Securities and issuances of additional Securities of such series or for the
establishment of additional terms with respect to the Securities of such series.

     If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action
shall be certified by an authorized officer or other authorized person of
Management on behalf of the Partnership and delivered to the Trustee at or prior
to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth, or providing the
manner for determining, the terms of the series.

     With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, such
Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate may provide general terms for
Securities of such series and provide either that the specific terms of
particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a Partnership Order,
or that such terms shall be determined by the Partnership, or one or more of the
Partnership's agents designated in an Officers' Certificate, in accordance with
a Partnership Order.

Section 302.  Denominations

     The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to
the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

                                     - 25 -

Section 303.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Partnership by the
Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, President or any Vice President of Management and need not be attested.
The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile.

     Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of Management shall bind the Partnership,
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.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Partnership may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Partnership to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Partnership Order
for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in
accordance with the Partnership Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities; provided, however, that in the case of Securities offered in a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities
from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without
limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from
the Partnership or its duly authorized agents, thereafter promptly confirmed in
writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a
Partnership Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first
authentication of Securities of such series. If the form or terms of the
Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more
Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to any Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required to be
furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 102, and (subject to Section 601)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

          (1) the form and terms (or the manner of determining the terms) of
such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as
permitted by Section 201, that such form or forms have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

          (2) if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case of
Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms
have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic
Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel (which
conditions are reasonably acceptable to the Trustee); and

          (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and issued by the Partnership in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, which conditions are reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations
of the Partnership enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject

                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>

to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture,
equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of such series
Outstanding; and

          (4) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request;

and, if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities
created by an indenture supplemental hereto, also stating that all conditions
precedent to the execution of the supplemental indenture with respect to that
series of Securities have been complied with, the Partnership has the power to
execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary
action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been executed
and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Partnership enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement
of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors'
rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable
principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity).

     If such form or forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall
not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 301 or the Partnership Order and Opinion of Counsel
or Board Resolution or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to
such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be
issued.

     With respect to Securities of a series not to be originally issued at one
time, the Trustee may rely upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents
delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in
connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series and any
subsequent request by the Partnership to the Trustee to authenticate Securities
of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Partnership that as of the date of such request, the statements
made in the Officers' Certificate shall be true and correct as if made on such
date.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     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 by manual signature of an authorized signatory, 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

                                     - 27 -

<PAGE>

authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Partnership, and the Partnership shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309 for all purposes of this Indenture, such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304.  Temporary Securities

     Pending the preparation of Definitive Securities of any series, the
Partnership may execute, and upon receipt of the documents required by Section
303, together with a Partnership 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 of like series in lieu
of which they are issued and 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.

     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Partnership will
cause Definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of Definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for Definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained pursuant to Section
1002 for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, without charge
to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities of any series the Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more Definitive Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as Definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

Section 305.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

     The Partnership shall cause to be kept at an office or agency of the
Security Registrar in The City of New York a register (the register maintained
in such office or in any other office or agency of the Partnership in a Place of
Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Partnership
shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.
The Partnership shall, prior to the issuance of any Securities hereunder,
appoint the Trustee as the initial "Security Registrar" for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided and its
Corporate Trust Office which, at the date hereof, is located at 12 East 49th
Street, 37th Floor, New York, New York 10017, as the initial office or agency in
The City of New York where the Security Register will be maintained. The
Partnership may at any time replace such Security Registrar, change such office
or agency or act as its own Security Registrar. The Partnership will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any change of the Security Registrar or of the
location of such office or agency. At all reasonable times the Security Register
shall be available for inspection by the Trustee.

                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series
at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained pursuant to Section 1002
for such purpose, the Partnership 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, of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.

     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global
Security) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor,
upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Partnership shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Partnership, 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 Partnership or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Partnership and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Partnership 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 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

     Neither the Trustee nor the Partnership shall be required (1) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series (or of any series
and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption
of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security may be
transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in the name
of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee
thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, except as provided in this
paragraph. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration or
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a
Global Security, except as provided in this paragraph. If (1) (A) the Depositary
for a Global Security notifies the Partnership that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Global Security or ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act, and (B) a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Partnership within 90 days, (2) an Event of Default has

                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>

occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such series and the
Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue
certificated securities in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Securities of
such series (in which case the Partnership shall deliver certificated securities
within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Partnership determines in its sole
discretion that Securities of a series issued in global form shall no longer be
represented by a Global Security, then such Global Security may be exchanged by
such Depositary for Definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, registered in
the names of, and the transfer of such Global Security or portion thereof may be
registered to, such Persons as such Depositary shall direct.

Section 306.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, together with such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Partnership or the Trustee to
save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, the Partnership
shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

     If there shall be delivered to the Partnership and the Trustee (1) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (2)
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and
any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Partnership or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Partnership shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. If, after the
delivery of such new Security, a bona fide purchaser of the original Security in
lieu of which such new Security was issued presents for payment or registration
such original Security, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new
Security from the party to whom it was delivered or any party taking therefrom,
except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security
or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or
expense incurred by the Partnership and the Trustee in connection therewith.

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

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

     Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in
exchange for any mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Partnership, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the

                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>

benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of that 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

     Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, 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.

     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 relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Partnership, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

          (1) The Partnership 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
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed in the following manner. The Partnership 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
Partnership 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 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 Partnership of such Special Record Date and,
in the name and at the expense of the Partnership, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such
series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date. 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 and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

          (2) The Partnership 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 or automated quotation system on which
such Securities may be listed or

                                     - 31 -
<PAGE>

traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
notice given by the Partnership 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.

     For each series of Securities, the Partnership shall, prior to 10:30 a.m.
(New York City time) on each payment date for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, if any, deposit with the Trustee money in immediately available funds
sufficient to make cash payments due on the applicable payment date.

Section 308.  Persons Deemed Owners

     Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, prior to due presentment of a Security for
registration of transfer, the Partnership, the Trustee and any agent of the
Partnership or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) any interest
on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security is overdue, and neither the Partnership, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Partnership or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its
behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect
to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Partnership,
the Trustee and any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee as the owner of such
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Partnership, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

Section 309.  Cancellation

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Partnership may at any time deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Partnership may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Partnership has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. 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 Trustee shall

                                     - 32 -
<PAGE>

be disposed of in accordance with its customary procedures, and the Trustee
shall thereafter deliver to the Partnership a certificate with respect to such
disposition.

Section 310.  Computation of Interest

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and interest on the
Securities of each series for any partial period shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the number of days elapsed in any
partial month.

Section 311.  CUSIP Numbers

     The Partnership in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (in
addition to the other identification numbers printed on the Securities), and, if
so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness of such "CUSIP" numbers either
as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in
or omission of such "CUSIP" numbers. The Partnership will promptly notify the
Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 401.  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

     This Indenture shall upon Partnership Request cease to be of further effect
with respect to Securities of any series (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities herein expressly
provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Partnership, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
with respect to such Securities, when

          (1) either

               (A) all such Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) such Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and
which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) such
Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
segregated and held in trust by the Partnership and thereafter repaid to the
Partnership or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

               (B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation

                   (i) have become due and payable,

                                     - 33 -
<PAGE>

                   (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity
within one year, or

                  (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption
by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Partnership,

and the Partnership in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for
this purpose an amount of money in the currency or currency units in which such
Securities are payable sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the
case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity
or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

          (2) the Partnership has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Partnership with respect to such Securities; and

          (3) the Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to such Securities have been complied with.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to Securities of any series, (x) the obligations of the Partnership to
the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Trustee to any
Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and the right of the Trustee to resign
under Section 610 shall survive, and (y) if money shall have been deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Partnership and/or the Trustee under Sections 402, 606, 701
and 1002 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

Section 402. Application of Trust Money

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Partnership acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and
interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

                                    REMEDIES

Section 501.  Events of Default

     "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any
series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such
Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected
by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

          (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that
series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a
period of 30 days (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the provisions
of Article XIV hereof); or

          (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any,
on) any Security of that series at its Maturity (whether or not such payment is
prohibited by the provisions of Article XIV hereof); or

          (3) default in the performance, or breach, of any term, covenant or
warranty of the Partnership in this Indenture (other than a term, covenant or
warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this
Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that
series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Partnership by the
Trustee or to the Partnership and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that 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; or

          (4) the Partnership pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of any
order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the
appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
property, or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

          (5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under
any Bankruptcy Law that (A) is for relief against the Partnership in an
involuntary case, (B) appoints a Custodian of the Partnership or for all or
substantially all of its property, or (C) orders the liquidation of the
Partnership; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days;
or

          (6) any other Event of Default provided as contemplated by Section 301
with respect to Securities of that series.

Section 502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25%

                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>

in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the
principal amount of (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such
Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) on all of the Securities of
that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Partnership (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately
due and payable.

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

          (1) the Partnership has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay

               (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

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

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

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

          (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series,
other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which
have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 513.

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

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

         The Partnership covenants that if

          (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security
when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
period of 30 days (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the provisions
of Article XIV hereof), or

          (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof (whether or not such payment is
prohibited by the provisions of Article XIV hereof),

                                     - 36 -
<PAGE>

the Partnership will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

     If the Partnership fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Partnership 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 Partnership or any other obligor upon such Securities,
wherever situated.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series 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 504.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

     In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Partnership or any other
obligor upon the Securities, their property or their creditors, the Trustee
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act
in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such
proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized 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 amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 607.

     No provision of this Indenture 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; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or
other similar committee.

Section 505.  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 of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered.

Section 506.  Application of Money Collected

     Any money or property collected or to be applied 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 or property on
account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the
Securities 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 607;

     SECOND: Subject to Article XIV, to the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities 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 and any premium and interest,
respectively; and

     THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Partnership.

Section 507.  Limitation on Suits

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

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

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

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

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

                                     - 38 -
<PAGE>

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

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 508.  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 any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and
307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated 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 509.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies

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

Section 510.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities 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 511.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities 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 512.  Control by Holders

     Subject to the provisions of Section 603, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series;
provided, however, that

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

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

          (3) subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall have
the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith
shall determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
personal liability or would otherwise be contrary to applicable law.

Section 513.  Waiver of Past Defaults

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate 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

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

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

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

Section 514.  Undertaking for Costs

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to
file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against
any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided, however, that neither this Section nor the Trust
Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an
undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Trustee,
in any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series to which the suit relates, or in any suit instituted by any Holder for
the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Security on or after the

                                     - 40 -
<PAGE>

respective Stated Maturity expressed by such Security (or, in the case of
redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date).

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   THE TRUSTEE

Section 601.  Certain Duties and Responsibilities

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

               (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
          duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to
          the Securities of such series, and no implied covenants or obligations
          shall 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 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 any series of
Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise with
respect to the Securities of such series such rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as
a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

          (c) No provisions 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 willful misconduct, except that

               (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of
          Subsection (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 or a majority in principal amount of the
          Outstanding Securities of any series relating to the time, method and
          place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the

                                     - 41 -
<PAGE>

          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 602.  Notice of Defaults

     If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Trustee shall, within 90 days after it occurs, transmit, in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act,
notice of all uncured or unwaived Defaults known to it; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a Default in payment on the Securities of any series, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding the notice if and so long as the board
of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or
responsible officers of the Trustee determine in good faith that withholding
such notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities of such series;
provided, further, however, that, in the case of any default or breach of the
character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to the Securities of such
series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after
the occurrence thereof.

Section 603.  Certain Rights of Trustee

     Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

          (1) the Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,

note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;

          (2) any request, direction, order or demand of the Partnership
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Partnership Request or

resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board
Resolution;

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

                                     - 42 -
<PAGE>

          (4) 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;

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

          (6) 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, without obligation to do so, make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit; and, if
the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it
shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Partnership,
personally or by agent or attorney;

          (7) 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

          (8) the Trustee may request that the Partnership deliver an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an
Officers' Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 604.  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
Partnership, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating
Agent makes any 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 Partnership of Securities
or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605.  May Hold Securities

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Partnership, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections

would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent.

Section 606.  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 any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed with the Partnership.

Section 607.  Compensation and Reimbursement

     The Partnership agrees:

          (1) to 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);

          (2) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances 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 any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith; and

          (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts 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.

when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event
of Default specified in Section 501(4) or Section 501(5), the expenses
(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture and the defeasance of the Securities.

Section 608.  Disqualification; Conflicting Interests

     If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

Section 609.  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility

     There shall at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to
the Securities of each series, at least one of which shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined
capital and surplus required by the Trust Indenture Act. If such Person
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person 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 610.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor

     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 611.

     The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or
more series by giving written notice thereof to the Partnership. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 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.

     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
Partnership. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not
have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     If at any time:

          (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written
request therefor by the Partnership or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

          (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Partnership 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 Partnership, acting pursuant to the
authority of a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated,

                                     - 45 -
<PAGE>

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.

     If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or
if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to
the Securities of one or more series, the Partnership, 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 611. 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 Partnership 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 611, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Partnership. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the
Partnership or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such
series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

     The Partnership 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 to all Holders
of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 611.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor

          (1) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Partnership 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, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Partnership or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the
retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

          (2) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Partnership,
the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (A) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm

                                     - 46 -
<PAGE>

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, (B) 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 (C) 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 as co-trustees of the same
trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other
such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the
extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, but, on
request of the Partnership or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges, 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.

          (3) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Partnership shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred
to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.

          (4) 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 612.  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 613.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Partnership

     If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Partnership or
any other obligor upon the Securities, the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Partnership or any such other obligor.

Section 614.  Appointment of Authenticating Agent

     The Trustee (upon notice to the Partnership) may appoint an Authenticating
Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such
series issued upon original issue (in accordance with procedures acceptable to
the Trustee) and upon 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 Partnership and shall at all times be a corporation organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia, 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 all or substantially all of
the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such 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 such Authenticating
Agent.

     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Partnership. 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 Partnership. 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 Partnership. 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.

                                     - 48 -
<PAGE>

     Except with respect to an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of
the Partnership, the Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

     If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to
this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:

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

                                     - 53 -
<PAGE>

such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The

Section 1001.  Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

     The Partnership covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium
and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of

Section 1002.  Maintenance of Office or Agency

     The Partnership will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of

upon the Partnership in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Partnership will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the

                                     - 54 -
<PAGE>

Partnership shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall
fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Partnership hereby appoints the Trustee as its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

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

     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities as
contemplated by Section 301, the Partnership hereby initially designates as the
Place of Payment for each series of Securities The City of New York, and
initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office as
the Partnership's office or agency for each such purpose in such city.

Section 1003.  Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust

     If the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries shall at any time act as
Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the
Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium
and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act.

     Whenever the Partnership shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of
or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as
provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.

     The Partnership will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) hold all sums held by it for
the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on
Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of
as herein provided; (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the
Partnership (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the
making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on
the Securities of that series; and (3) during the continuance of any such
default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the
Securities of that series.

     The Partnership may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Partnership Order direct any

                                     - 55 -
<PAGE>

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

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the state which escheat
laws control and the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the state which escheat laws control for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Partnership as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Partnership cause
to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be paid to the state whose escheat laws control.

Section 1004.  Statement by Officers as to Default

     The Partnership will deliver to the Trustee, within 150 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Partnership ending after the date hereof, an
Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the
signer or signers thereof the Partnership is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture
(without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided
hereunder) and, if the Partnership shall be in default, specifying all such
defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

Section 1005.  Existence

     Subject to Article VIII, the Partnership will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the
Partnership shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if it
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Partnership.

Section 1006.  Waiver of Certain Covenants

     The Partnership may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in Section 1005, with respect to the
Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of
at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of all affected series (voting 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, but 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,

                                     - 56 -
<PAGE>

the obligations of the Partnership and the duties of the Trustee in respect of
any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

     A waiver which changes or eliminates any term, provision or condition 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 the
Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such term, provision or
condition, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the
Holders of Securities of any other series.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101.  Applicability of Article

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

Section 1102.  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee

     The election of the Partnership to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Partnership of less than all the Securities of any series, the Partnership
shall, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed
by the Partnership (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the
Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (1) prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of
such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (2) pursuant to an election
of the Partnership which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of
such Securities, the Partnership shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers'
Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

Section 1103.  Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed

     If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless
all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed),
the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis or by any
other method which the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and which complies
with any securities exchange or other applicable requirements for redemption of
portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
for Securities of that series.

                                     - 57 -
<PAGE>

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

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

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail (if international
mail, by air mail), postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed,
at his address appearing in the Security Register.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

          (1) the Redemption Date,

          (2) the Redemption Price,

          (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series and of a
specified tenor are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of
partial redemption of any Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular
Securities to be redeemed,

          (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon
will cease to accrue on and after said date,

          (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered
for payment of the Redemption Price, and

          (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

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

Section 1105.  Deposit of Redemption Price

     On or prior to 10:30 a.m. New York City Time on any Redemption Date, the
Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Partnership is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date)
accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

                                     - 58 -
<PAGE>

Section 1106.  Securities Payable on Redemption Date

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to
be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Partnership shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Partnership at the Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and
the provisions of Section 307.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the
Security.

Section 1107.  Securities Redeemed in Part

     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a
Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Partnership or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Partnership and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Partnership 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 of like
tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Security so surrendered.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                                  SINKING FUND

Section 1201.  Applicability of Article

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

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

Section 1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities

     The Partnership (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other
than any previously called for redemption), and (2) may apply as a credit
Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the
Partnership pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application
of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such
series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities 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 sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

Section 1203.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund

     Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), the Partnership will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to
be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have
not been previously so credited, and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking
fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense
of the Partnership in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having
been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms
and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                   DEFEASANCE

Section 1301.  Applicability of Article

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to each series of
Securities except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series.

Section 1302.  Legal Defeasance

     In addition to discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 401, the
Partnership shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
on all the Securities of such a series on the 91st day after the date of the
deposit referred to in Clause (1) below, and the provisions of this Indenture
with respect to the Securities of such series shall no longer be in effect
(except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange of Securities
of such series and the

                                     - 60 -
<PAGE>

Partnership's right of optional redemption, if any, (ii) substitution of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, (iii) rights of Holders of
Securities to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, upon
the original stated due dates therefor or on the specified redemption dates
therefor (but not upon acceleration), and remaining rights of the holders to
receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (iv) the rights, obligations,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Partnership's
obligations in connection therewith (including, but not limited to, Section
607), (v) the rights, if any, to convert or exchange the Securities of such
series, (vi) the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series as
beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee
payable to all or any of them, and (vii) the obligations of the Partnership
under Section 1002), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Partnership, shall,
upon a Partnership Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same,
if the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"):

          (1) The Partnership has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust, for the purposes of making
the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series (A) cash
in an amount, or (B) in the case of any series of Securities the payments on
which may only be made in legal coin or currency of the United States, U.S.
Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and
in such amounts as will insure the availability of cash, or (C) a combination
thereof, certified to be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay (i) the principal and interest and
premium, if any, on all Securities of such series on each date that such
principal, interest or premium, if any, is due and payable or on any Redemption
Date established pursuant to Clause (3) below, and (ii) any mandatory sinking
fund payments on the dates on which such payments are due and payable in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Securities of such series;

          (2) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
based on the fact that (A) the Partnership has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date
hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in
either case to the effect that, and such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and
discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in
the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such
deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

          (3) If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity
(other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice
of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or
provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made;

          (4) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit;

                                     - 61 -
<PAGE>

          (5) Such defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting
interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities
are in default within the meaning of such Act);

          (6) Such defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the
Partnership is a party or by which it is bound; (7) Such defeasance shall not
result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless
such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration
thereunder; and

          (8) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated by this provision
have been complied with.

     For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Partnership and any other
obligor upon the Securities of such series shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire debt represented by the Securities of such series, which
shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section
1304 and the rights and obligations referred to in Clauses (i) through (vii),
inclusive, of the first paragraph of this Section, and to have satisfied all its
other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar
as the Securities of such series are concerned.

Section 1303.  Covenant Defeasance

     The Partnership and any other obligor, if any, shall be released on the
91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in Clause (1) below from its
obligations under Sections 704, 801 and 1005 with respect to the Securities of
any series on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and the Securities of such series shall
thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver, consent or declaration or
other action or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for
all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means
that, with respect to the Securities of such series, the Partnership may omit to
comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to such Section or by reason of any
reference in such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document
and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of
Default under Section 501, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be unaffected thereby. The
following shall be the conditions to application of this Section 1303:

          (1) The Partnership has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (A) cash in an
amount, or (B) in the case of any series of Securities the payments on

                                     - 62 -
<PAGE>

which may only be made in legal coin or currency of the United States, U.S.
Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and
in such amounts as will insure the availability of cash, or (C) a combination
thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay (i) the principal and interest and premium, if
any, on all Securities of such series on each date that such principal, interest
or premium, if any, is due and payable or on any Redemption Date established
pursuant to Clause (2) below, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments on
the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture and the Securities of such series;

          (2) If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity
(other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice
of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or
provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made;

          (3) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit;

          (4) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
which shall confirm that the Holders of the Securities of such series will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax
on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would have
been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;

          (5) Such covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all
Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act);

          (6) Such covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which
the Partnership is a party or by which it is bound;

          (7) Such covenant defeasance shall not result in the trust arising
from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be
registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder; and

          (8) The Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent
provided for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this provision
have been complied with.

Section 1304.  Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment
of Securities

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all moneys
or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
1302 or 1303 (and all funds earned on such moneys or U.S. Government
Obligations) shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Partnership

                                     - 63 -
<PAGE>

acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities of
such series for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been
deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for
principal and interest; but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. Subject to Sections 1302 and 1303, the
Trustee shall promptly pay to the Partnership upon Partnership Order any moneys
held by it at any time, which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification delivered to
the Trustee, are in excess of the amounts required to effect the defeasance with
respect to the Outstanding Securities in question.

Section 1305.  Repayment to Partnership

     The Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly shall pay or return to the
Partnership upon Partnership Request any money and U.S. Government Obligations
held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal
of and any interest on the Securities of any series for which money or U.S.
Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303,
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification delivered to the Trustee, are
in excess of the amounts required to effect the defeasance with respect to the
Outstanding Securities in question.

     The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall apply to any
money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that remains
unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any series of Securities for which
money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section
1302 or 1303.

Section 1306.  Reinstatement

     If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U. S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Article by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
obligations of the Partnership under this Indenture, and the Securities of the
applicable series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Indenture until such time as the Trustee or the Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U. S. Government Obligations in
accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Partnership has
made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities of such series
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Partnership shall be
subrogated to the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive such payment
from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying
Agent.
