substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise

                                        9

expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company. 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 6.01)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Section.

          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 of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

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

          The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture
Act, 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. 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. With regard to any action that may be given or
taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of any series (or their duly appointed agents) and for which a record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an
expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any
Holder shall be effective hereunder unless given or taken on or prior to such
expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents).
On or prior to any expiration date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company
may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent
thereof) from giving or taking, after any such expiration date, any action
identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, the action or
purported action to which such expiration date relates, in which event the
Company may set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action
taken at any time by the Holders (or their duly appointed agents) of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant

                                       10

series on the date such action is so taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the
Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any notice,
declaration or direction referred to in the next paragraph.

          The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join
in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of
acceleration referred to in Section 5.02, if an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall
not have given such a declaration to the Company, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 5.07(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. Promptly
after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall
notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Series of such series of any
such record date so fixed and the proposed action. The Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents),
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration or
direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that, unless such notice, declaration or direction shall have become
effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents)
having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such
notice, declaration or direction shall automatically and without any action by
any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from
giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a notice,
declaration or direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration
of such period, identical to, the notice, declaration or direction to which such
record date relates, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall
be set pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to render ineffective any notice, declaration or direction of the type referred
to in this paragraph given at any time to the Trustee and the Company by Holders
(or their duly appointed agents) of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such notice,
declaration or direction is so given.

          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.

Section 1.05 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

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

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

                                       11

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

Section 1.06 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, 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. 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.

     to the Securities, may be instituted in any federal or state court in the

     this purpose reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The Company agrees to
     take any and all actions necessary to maintain such designation and
     appointment of such agent in full force and effect.

Section 2.03 Form of Reverse of Security.

          This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an Indenture, dated as of ______, 20__ (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company and ___________________, as Trustee (herein
called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [if applicable,
insert --, limited in aggregate principal amount to $__________].

          [If applicable, insert -- Subject to and upon compliance with the
provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is entitled, at his
option, at any time on or before the close of business on __________, or in case
this Security or a portion hereof is called for redemption, then in respect of
this Security or such portion hereof until and including, but (unless the
Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption) not after, the close
of business on the 10th calendar day before the Redemption Date, to convert this
Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof which is $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof), at the principal amount hereof, or of such portion,
into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (calculated as to each
conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of the Company at a conversion price
per Common Share equal to $_____ per each Common Share (or at the current
adjusted conversion price if an adjustment has been made as provided in the
Indenture) by surrender of this Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the
Company or in blank, to the Company at its office or agency in _________,
accompanied by written notice to the Company that the Holder hereof elects to
convert this Security, or if less than the entire principal amount hereof is to
be converted, the portion hereof to be converted, and, in case such surrender
shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record
Date next preceding any Interest

Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (unless
this Security or the portion thereof being converted has been called for
redemption on a Redemption Date within such period), also accompanied by payment
in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on
such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being
converted. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for payment and, in the case of
a conversion after the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment
Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of
this Security (or any Predecessor Security) of record at such Regular Record
Date to receive an installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided in
the Indenture), no payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion for
interest accrued hereon or for dividends on the Common Shares issued on
conversion. No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares
will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest the Company
shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The conversion price
is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the
Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which
the Company is a party or the transfer of substantially all of the assets of the
Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of any Holders of
Securities, so that this Security, if then outstanding, will be convertible
thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified
above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon the consolidation, merger or transfer by a holder of the number
of Common Shares into which this Security might have been converted immediately
prior to such consolidation, merger or transfer (assuming such holder of Common
Shares failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind
and amount received per share by a plurality of non-electing shares).]

          [If applicable, insert -- The Securities of this series are subject to
redemption upon not less than 30 days' notice by mail, [if applicable, insert --

together in the case of any such redemption [if applicable, insert -- (whether
through operation of the sinking fund or otherwise)] with accrued interest to
the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the
Indenture.]

any year commencing with the year ____ and ending with the year ____ through

amount) set forth in the table below: If redeemed during the 12-month period
beginning ___________ of the years indicated,

               For Redemption          Redemption Otherwise

and thereafter at a Redemption Price equal to ______% of the principal amount,
together in the case of any such redemption (whether through operation of the
sinking fund or otherwise) with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but

Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant
Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.]

          [If applicable, insert -- Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may not, prior to ____________, redeem any Securities of this series as
contemplated by [if applicable, insert -- Clause (2) of] the preceding paragraph
as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation by the application,

for the redemption on ______________ in each year beginning with the year
_______ and ending with the year _______ of [if applicable, insert -- not less

series acquired or redeemed by the Company otherwise than through [if
applicable, insert mandatory] sinking fund payments [if applicable, insert and
Securities surrendered for conversion] may be credited against subsequent [if
applicable, insert -- mandatory] sinking fund payments otherwise required to be
made [if applicable, insert -- in the inverse order in which they become due].

          [If the Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert -- In
the event of redemption or conversion of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of this series

                                       19

and of like tenor for the unredeemed or unconverted portion hereof will be
issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

          The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided
in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued subject
to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this
Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided
and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

          [If applicable, insert -- The Indenture contains provisions for
defeasance at any time of [(1) the entire indebtedness of this Security or (2)]
certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this
Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the
Indenture.]

          [If the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert --
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and
be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.]

          [If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert -- If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to -- insert formula for determining the
amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable
and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest all of the
Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and
interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

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

          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder 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

                                       20

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 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this 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.

          Subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness, as set forth
in the Indenture, no other reference herein to the Indenture and no other
provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times,
place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert
this Security as provided in the Indenture.

therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any

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 Company or the Security Registrar 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 Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 be overdue, and neither

          (4) the date or dates on which the principal of the Securities of the

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

     Section 3.05 in which any such Global Security may be transferred to, and

     other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and
     in which any such transfer may be registered;

     Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities;

                                       25

          (18) any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Article X
     which applies to Securities of the series; and

          (19) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be
     inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by
     Section 9.01(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 referred to above and (subject to Section 3.03) set
forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate
referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

          If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken
pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action
shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers'
Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

          The Company may, from time to time, by adoption of a Board Resolution
and subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this
Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this
Indenture additional securities of any series of Securities ("Add On
Securities") having terms and conditions identical to those of such series of
Outstanding Securities, except that such Add On Securities:

          (i) may have a different issue date from such series of Outstanding
Securities;

          (ii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first
Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on such series of
Outstanding Securities; and

          (iii) may have terms specified in such Board Resolution for such Add
On Securities making appropriate adjustments to this Article III applicable to
such Add On Securities in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the
Securities Act (or applicable securities laws) which are not adverse in any
material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Securities (other than such
Add On Securities) and which shall not affect the rights or duties of the
Trustee.

Section 3.02 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 3.01. 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.

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

          The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, one of its
Vice Presidents or its Treasurer, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon
attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant

                                       26

Secretaries or by its Chief Financial Officer. 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 the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

          At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any Series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. 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 2.01 and
3.01, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

          (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant
     to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been
     established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

          (2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or
     pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms
     have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
     and

          (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
     Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
     conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and
     legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
     their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
     reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
     relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
     principles.

          If such form 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 3.01 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 3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
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.

          Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

                                       27

          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, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, 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 3.04 Temporary Securities.

          Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued 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 Company will
cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that
series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Securities of any series the Company 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 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

          The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers of Securities as herein provided.

          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any
series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one

                                       28

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 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 Company 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 Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

          Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company 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 Company or Security Registrar 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 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not
involving any transfer.

          The Company shall not be required (1) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 11.03 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, 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, unless
(1) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) has ceased to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the Company executes and
delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so
transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfers shall be
registrable, (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities evidenced by such Global Security or (4) there
shall exist such other circumstances, if any, as have been specified for this
purpose as contemplated by Section 3.01. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Indenture, a Global Security to which the restriction set forth in the
preceding sentence shall have ceased to apply may be transferred only to, and
may be registered and exchanged for Securities registered only in

                                       29

the name or names of, such Person or Persons as the Depositary for such Global
Security shall have directed and no transfer thereof other than such a transfer
may be registered.

          Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security to which the
restriction set forth in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph shall
apply, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.04, 3.06, 9.06 or 11.07 or
otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a
Global Security.

Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

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

          If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security
and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security
of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

          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 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

          Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with
respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly

                                       30

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 Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

          (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
     the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
     respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
     on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
     shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
     Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid
     on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and
     at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
     money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
     Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
     for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
     deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
     such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee
     shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
     which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
     date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by
     the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall
     promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name
     and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
     payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
     be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of 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 Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the
     Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
     the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be
     listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after
     notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant
     to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
     Trustee.

          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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.

                                       31

          Subject to the provisions of Section 14.02, in the case of any
Security which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest whose Stated Maturity is on such
Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date
notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest (whether or not punctually
paid or duly provided for) 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 such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
the immediately preceding sentence in the case of any Security which is
converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of
such Security, shall not be payable.

Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners.

          Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium
and (subject to Section 3.07) any interest on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.09 Cancellation.

          All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or conversion 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 cancelled by it. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for
delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all
Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by
the Trustee in its customary manner.

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 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.

Section 3.11 CUSIP Numbers.

          The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such 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

                                       32

printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of any changes in the "CUSIP" numbers.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

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

          (1) either

               (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other
          than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and
          which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii)
          Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
          trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
          repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) 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, or

                    (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 Company,

          and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
          deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
          trust for the purpose an amount 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 Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
     hereunder by the Company; and

                                       33

          (3) the Company 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 have been complied with.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07, and, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause
(1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 shall
survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 4.02 Application of Trust Money.

          All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 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 Company 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 5.01 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 the 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 deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as
     due by the terms of a Security of that series, and the continuance of such
     default for a period of 30 days; or

          (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty
     of the Company in this Indenture (other than a 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 Company
     by the Trustee

                                       34

     or to the Company and the Trustee by the 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

          (5) the Company shall fail to pay any Indebtedness in excess of
     $10,000,000 owing by the Company, or any interest or premium thereon, when
     due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration,
     demand or otherwise), and such failure shall continue after the applicable
     grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to
     such Indebtedness, or the Company shall fail to perform any term, covenant
     or agreement on its part to be performed under any agreement or instrument
     evidencing or securing or relating to any such Indebtedness, if the effect
     of such failure in either case is that the maturity of such Indebtedness is
     duly accelerated, without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such
     acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, in each such case, within a
     period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or
     certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company 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 and
     requiring the Company to cause such Indebtedness to be discharged or cause
     such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled, as the case may be, and
     stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder (the Trustee
     shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a default under this subsection
     (5) unless it shall have actual knowledge thereof); provided, however,
     that, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.05, the Trustee
     shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such failure to pay unless either
     (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of
     such failure to pay or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice
     thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such
     Indebtedness or from the trustee thereunder; or

          (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a
     decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Material
     Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable
     Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
     law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any Material
     Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a
     petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of
     or in respect of the Company or any Material Subsidiary under any
     applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver,
     liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of
     the Company or any Material Subsidiary or of any substantial part of their
     respective properties, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of their
     respective affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for
     relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
     period of 60 consecutive days; or

          (7) the commencement by the Company or any Material Subsidiary of a
     voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other
     case or proceeding to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the
     consent by the Company or any Material Subsidiary to the entry of a decree
     or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Material Subsidiary in
     an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or

                                       35

     State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the
     commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the
     Company or any Material Subsidiary, or the filing by the Company or any
     Material Subsidiary of a petition or answer or consent seeking
     reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the
     consent by the Company or any Material Subsidiary to the filing of such
     petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian,
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
     official of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or of any substantial
     part of their respective properties, or the making by the Company or any
     Material Subsidiary of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
     admission by the Company or any Material Subsidiary in writing of the
     Company's or any Material Subsidiary's inability to pay the Company's or
     any Material Subsidiary's, as applicable, debts generally as they become
     due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Material
     Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action; or

          (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of
     that series.

Section 5.02 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% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the entire principal amount, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any (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), of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing under Section 5.01(6) or Section 5.01(7),
then in every such case the entire principal amount, together with all accrued
and unpaid interest and premium, if any (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), of all of
the Securities of that series shall be due and payable immediately.

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

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

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

                                       36

               (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 5.13.

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

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

          The Company 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 Company 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 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 necessary 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.

                                       37

Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its 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 6.07.

          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 5.05 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 5.06 Application of Money Collected.

          Subject to Article XV, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed
by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of
principal or 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 6.07;

               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

                                       38

          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: To the Company.

Section 5.07 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 for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless

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

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

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

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

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

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 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
             Interest and to Convert.

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, but subject to
Article XV, 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 Section 3.07) 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 convert such Security in accordance with Article XIV and
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and right to convert,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

                                       39

Section 5.09 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 and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company, 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 5.10 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 3.06, 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 5.11 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 5.12 Control by Holders.

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

          (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
     with this Indenture or be unjustly prejudicial to any Holders not joining
     in such direction,

          (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 6.01, the Trustee shall have
     the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good
     faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee,
     determine, and the Trustee shall have received a legal opinion stating,
     that the proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
     liability.

                                       40

Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

          (2) 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 5.14 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 that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act
shall apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holders of the Securities, or group of Holders of the Securities, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% of principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of the Outstanding Securities
for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any
Outstanding Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Outstanding Securities; and provided, further, 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 Company or in any suit for the enforcement of the right to
convert any Security in accordance with Article XIV.

Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                                       41

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   THE TRUSTEE

          The Trustee hereby accepts the trust imposed upon it by this Indenture
and covenants and agrees to perform the same, as herein expressed.

Section 6.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

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

          (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set
     forth in this Indenture and no others, and no covenants or obligations
     shall be implied in or read into this Indenture.

          (2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
     conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
     the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to
     the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However,
     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 substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but
     need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations
     or other facts stated therein).

          (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matter stated in any document.

          (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an

opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other
paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further

incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such
investigation.

          (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or

hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

          (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of
Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof
or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is
received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such
notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

                                       43

          (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given

          The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, its

with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 6.08, 6.09 and
6.10.

Section 6.04 Trustee's Disclaimer.

          The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Securities and it shall not be accountable for the
Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement in the Securities, other than the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, or the use or application of any funds received
by a Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

Section 6.05 Notice of Default.

          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to
each Holder of Securities of such series notice of the uncured Event of Default
within 45 days after such Event of Default occurs. Except in the case of an
Event of Default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) of, or interest
on, any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
Responsible Officer in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series.

Section 6.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

          Within 60 days after each February 15 beginning with the February 15
following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a
brief report dated as of such February 15 that complies with Trust Indenture Act
Section 313(a) if such report is required by such Trust Indenture Act Section
313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Sections 313(b)
and 313(c).

          The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the
Securities of any series become listed on any stock exchange or automatic
quotation system.

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be
mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange, if
any, on which the Securities are listed.

                                       44

Section 6.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

          The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to
time agree in writing. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any
law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses
and advances incurred or made by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents, accountants,
experts and counsel.

          The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee (in its capacity as
Trustee) and any predecessor Trustee and each of their respective officers,
directors, attorneys-in-fact and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any
claim, demand, expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel), loss, charges
(including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee)) or
liability incurred by them without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and
their rights or duties hereunder including the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee
shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for
which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee
shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company's expense in the defense.
The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement
made without its written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any
loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its own negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct.

          To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 6.07, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all assets held or
collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except assets held in
trust to pay principal and premium, if any, of or interest on particular
Securities.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 5.01(6) or (7) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

          The Company's obligations under this Section 6.07 and any lien arising
hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge
of the Company's obligations pursuant to Article IV of this Indenture and any
rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 6.08 Replacement of Trustee.

          The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
one or more series by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holder or Holders
of a majority in principal

                                       45

amount of the outstanding Securities of a series may remove the Trustee with
respect to Securities of such series by so notifying the Company and the Trustee
in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of
such series with the Company's consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

          (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

          (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

          (3) a receiver, custodian, or other public officer takes charge of the
     Trustee or its property; or

          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, with respect to
Securities of that or those series. Within one year after the successor Trustee
with respect to a series of Securities takes office, the Holder or Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series may appoint a
successor Trustee with respect to such series to replace the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that
and provided that all sums owing to the Trustee provided for in Section 6.07
have been paid, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as
Trustee with respect to such series of Securities to the successor Trustee,
subject to the lien provided in Section 6.07, the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have
all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A
successor Trustee with respect to one or more series of Securities shall mail
notice of its succession to each Holder of Securities of that or those series.

          If a successor Trustee with respect to a series of Securities does not
take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holder or Holders of at least 10% in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series may petition at
the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Holder of
Securities of a series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee with respect to such series and the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to such series.

          Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
6.08, the Company's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 6.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

          If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the resulting, surviving or

                                       46

transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting,
surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the
successor Trustee.

Section 6.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

          The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Trust
Indenture Act Section 310(a)(1) and Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a)(5). The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall
comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b).

Section 6.11 Preferential Collection of Claims against Company.

          The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a),
excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust
Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

entitled to rely exclusively on Officer's Certificates).

indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder
of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.

Section 9.05 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.06 Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

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

                                    COVENANTS

Section 10.01 Payment of Securities.

          The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of
that series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of that
series and this Indenture. An installment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the
Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company)
holds for the benefit of the Holders, on that date, immediately available funds
deposited and designated for and sufficient to pay the installment.

          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue
installments of interest at the rate specified in the Securities compounded
semi-annually, to the extent lawful.

Section 10.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          The Company shall maintain in the 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 where Securities of any series that is
convertible may be surrendered for conversion, and where notices and demands to
or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company shall 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 Company shall fail to maintain any such required
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office.

          The Company 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 Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes. The Company shall 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. The Company hereby initially designates the principal
corporate trust office of the Trustee as such office of the Company.

Section 10.03 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

          If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with
respect to 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.

                                       53

          Whenever the Company 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 Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
so to act.

          The Company 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) comply with the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, 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 Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of 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 Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.

Section 10.04 Corporate Existence.

          Subject to Article VIII, the Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and the corporate or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries in
accordance with the respective organizational documents of each of them and the
rights (charter and statutory) and corporate franchises of the Company and each
of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to preserve, with respect to itself, any right or franchise, and with respect to
any of its Subsidiaries, any such existence, right or franchise, if (a) the
Board of Directors of the Company

                                       54

shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and (b) the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 10.05 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

          The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (including
withholding taxes and any penalties, interest and additions to taxes) levied or
imposed upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or properties and assets of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) all lawful claims, whether for
labor, materials, supplies, service or anything else, which have become due and
payable and which by law have or may become a Lien upon the property and assets
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any
such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which disputed
amounts adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Section 10.06 Compliance Certificate; Notice of Default.

          (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the
end of its fiscal year an Officers' Certificate (one of the signatories of which
shall be the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer
or principal accounting officer) complying with Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust
Indenture Act and stating that a review of its activities and the activities of
its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether the
Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this
Indenture (all without regard to periods of grace, which shall be deemed
fulfilled unless and until the expiration of such periods) or notice
requirements) and further stating, as to each such officer signing such
certificate, whether or not the signer knows of any failure by the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company to comply with any conditions or covenants in this
Indenture and, if such signer does know of such a failure to comply, the
certificate shall describe such failure with particularity. The Officers'
Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the relevant fiscal year end on
any date other than the current fiscal year end date.

          (b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities of any series
are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, immediately upon becoming aware of any
Event of Default with respect to such series under this Indenture, an Officers'
Certificate specifying such Event of Default and what action the Company is
taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of a an Event of Default unless one of its Responsible
Officers receives notice of the Event of Default giving rise thereto from the
Company or any of the Holders.

                                       55

Section 10.07 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

          The Company covenants for the benefit of each series of Securities (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law wherever enacted which
would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of or interest on the Securities of that series as contemplated
herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives for the benefit
of each series of Securities all benefit or advantage of any such law insofar as
such law applies to the Securities of that series, and covenants for the benefit
of each series of Securities that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee with respect to that
series, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

Section 10.08 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

          The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets
to, or purchase any property or asset from, or enter into any transaction,
contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction"),
unless (a) such Affiliate Transaction is made on terms that are no less
favorable to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those that would have
been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Subsidiary with
an unrelated person and (b) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to
any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $25 million in any fiscal year, a
resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate
certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions complies with clause (a) above and such Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that (i) any
employment agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in
the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practice of the
Company or such Subsidiary; (ii) transactions between or among the Company
and/or its Subsidiaries, (iii) Affiliate Transactions entered into prior to the
date of issuance of the Securities under this Indenture and (iv) Affiliate
Transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business of the Company or
such Subsidiary, shall be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 11.01 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 3.01 for Securities of any
series) in accordance with this Article.

                                       56

Section 11.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

          The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at
least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (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 prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

Section 11.03 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

          If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed
(unless all of 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 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the
selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of
the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than
the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. If less than
all of 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 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for
redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

          If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part
before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the
Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so
far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have
been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated
by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company 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 11.04 Notice of Redemption.

          Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class 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.

                                       57

          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 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, if applicable, that
     interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

          (5) in the case of any Securities that are convertible pursuant to
     Article XIV, the conversion price or rate, the date on which the right to
     convert the principal of the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and
     the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for
     conversion,

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

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

          (8) applicable CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 11.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

          Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent 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 other than any Securities called for redemption on that date which
have been converted prior to the date of such deposit.

          If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money
deposited with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in
trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the
Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as
provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.07) be paid to the Company upon
Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such
trust.

Section 11.06 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

                                       58

therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company 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
Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01, 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 3.07.

          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 11.07 Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at a Place of Payment thereof (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service
charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series 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 FUNDS

Section 12.01 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 3.01 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 12.02. 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 12.02 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

          At its option, the Company may reduce or satisfy its obligation to
make any mandatory sinking fund payment by delivering to the Trustee at least 45
days before any

                                       59

mandatory sinking fund payment date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable
to the Trustee) (i) Securities of the series which are the subject of the
mandatory sinking fund payment which have been acquired (other than by mandatory
redemption) by the Company at any time together with an Officers' Certificate
stating the election of the Company to have credited against such sinking fund
payment the principal amount of the Securities so delivered, (ii) an Officers'
Certificate stating the election of the Company to have credited against such
sinking fund payment a specified principal amount of Securities of the series
that are the subject of the mandatory sinking fund payment which have been
acquired (other than by mandatory redemption) by the Company and theretofore
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation (including, for such purpose,
Securities surrendered for conversion pursuant to Article XIV), (iii) an
Officers' Certificate stating the election of the Company to have credited
against such sinking fund payment a specified principal amount of the Securities
of the series which are the subject of the mandatory sinking fund payment which
have been called for redemption at the option of the Company or with the
proceeds of any optional sinking fund payment and which are no longer
Outstanding, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. Each Officers'
Certificate shall state the principal amount of the Securities of the relevant
series issued and outstanding at the date of such Officers' Certificate, that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities
of such series and that the Securities forming the basis of such credit do not
include any Securities theretofore mandatorily redeemed or called for mandatory
redemption pursuant to the terms of the relevant series of the Securities. All
Securities made the basis of a credit against a mandatory sinking fund payment
shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof. Any mandatory sinking
fund payment or payments may at any time be anticipated by the Company by
obtaining credit thereon in the manner above provided, such credits to apply
against mandatory sinking fund payments in the order in which they become due.

Section 12.03 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 45 days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to
the Trustee) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company 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 12.02 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 11.03 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

          The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities with sinking fund moneys
or mail any notice of redemption of Securities by operation of the sinking fund
during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on the Securities of
such series or of any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such
series (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this
paragraph), except that if notice of redemption of any Securities shall
theretofore have been given, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities if cash
sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that purpose
in accordance with the terms of the

                                       60

series of the Securities. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund at
the time when any such Default or Event of Default shall occur, and not held for
payment or redemption of particular Securities of the series, and any moneys
thereafter paid into the sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such
default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of all the
Securities of the series; provided, however, that in case such default or Event
of Default shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13, such
moneys shall thereafter be applied in accordance with the terms of the
Securities applicable to sinking funds.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                       DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 13.01 Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The Company may elect, at its option by Board Resolution at any time,
to have either Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 applied to the Outstanding
Securities of any series designated pursuant to Section 3.01 as being defeasible
pursuant to this Article XIII (hereinafter called a "Defeasible Series"), upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article XIII; provided
that Section 13.02 shall not apply to any series of Securities that is

to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such series as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called
"Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the
Outstanding Securities of such series 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 (and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject
to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive,
solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.04 and as more fully set
forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium
and interest on such Securities of such series when payments are due, (2) the
Company's obligations with respect to the Securities of such series under
Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (3) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article XIII.
Subject to compliance with this Article XIII, the Company may exercise its
option provided in Section 13.01 to have this Section 13.02 applied to the
Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option provided in Section 13.01 to have Section 13.03 applied
to the Outstanding Securities of such series.

                                       61

Section 13.03 Covenant Defeasance.

          Upon the Company's exercise of the option provided in Section 13.01 to
have this Section 13.03 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible
Series, (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section
8.01, and Sections 10.04, 10.05 and 10.08, and (2) the occurrence of any event
specified in Sections 5.01(3), 5.01(4) (with respect to any of Sections 8.01,
10.04, 10.05 and 10.08), 5.01(5) and 5.01(8) shall be deemed not to be or result
in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities
of such series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions
set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant
Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent
so specified in the case of Section 5.01(4)), whether directly or indirectly by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any
reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other
document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series
shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 13.04 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section
13.02 or Section 13.03 to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series:

          (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
     deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee that satisfies the
     requirements contemplated by Section 6.09 and agrees to comply with the
     provisions of this Article XIII applicable to it) as trust funds in trust
     for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
     security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of
     Outstanding Securities of such series, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S.
     Government Obligations that through the scheduled payment of principal and
     interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide,
     not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an
     amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case 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 and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such
     other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any
     premium and interest on the Securities of such series on the respective
     Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the
     Securities of such series. As used herein, "U.S. Government Obligation"
     means (x) any security that is (i) a direct obligation of the United States
     of America for the payment of which full faith and credit of the United
     States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled
     or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United
     States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
     full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in
     either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the
     issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined
     in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as custodian
     with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation specified in Clause (x) and
     held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depositary
     receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or
     interest on

                                       62

     any such U.S. Government Obligation; provided, that (except as required by
     law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount
     payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received
     by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the
     specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary
     receipt.

          (2) In the case of an election under Section 13.02, the Company shall
     have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the
     Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
     Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date first set forth hereinabove,
     there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either
     case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall
     confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will
     not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of
     the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to the
     Securities of such series and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
     same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
     if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

          (3) In the case of an election under Section 13.03, the Company shall
     have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
     Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize
     gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and
     Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Securities of such
     series and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the
     same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and
     Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

          (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
     Certificate to the effect that the Securities of such series, if then
     listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such
     deposit.

          (5) No Event of Default or event that (after notice or lapse of time
     or both) would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any Event of
     Default or any such event specified in Sections 5.01(6) and (7), at any
     time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being
     understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after
     such 90th day).

          (6) Such Defeasance or 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).

          (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a
     breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement
     or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

                                       63

          (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
     precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been
     complied with.

          (9) Such Defeasance or 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 qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation
     thereunder.

Section 13.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in
              Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

          All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for
purposes of this Section and Section 13.06, the Trustee and any such other
trustee are referred to collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 13.04
in respect of the Securities of any Defeasible Series shall be held in trust and
applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of
such series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Securities of such series, of all sums
due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and
interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

          The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for
the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

          Anything in this Article XIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 13.04 with respect to Securities of any Defeasible Series that, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in
excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the
Securities of such series.

Section 13.06 Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with this Article XIII with respect to the Securities of any series
by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
this Article XIII with respect to Securities of such series until such time as
the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust
pursuant to Section 13.05 with respect to Securities of such series in
accordance with this Article XIII; provided, however, that if the Company makes
any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such

                                       64

series following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series to receive
such payment from the money so held in trust.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                            CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 14.01 Applicability; Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price.

          Securities of any series which are convertible into Common Shares of
the Company shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any
series) in accordance with this Article.

          Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at
the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the outstanding
principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may
be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into
fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares (calculated as to each conversion to
the nearest 1/100 of a share) of the Company at the conversion price, determined
as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion
right shall expire at the close of business on the date specified for Securities
of such series. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption
at the election of the Company, such conversion right in respect of the Security
or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the 10th calendar
day before the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the
payment due upon redemption.

          The price at which Common Shares shall be delivered upon conversion
(herein called the "conversion price") shall be the price specified in relation
to Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.01, as it shall be adjusted
in certain instances as provided in this Article.

Section 14.02 Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

          In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any
Security to be converted shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed or
assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.02, accompanied by written
notice to the Company (which shall be substantially in the form set forth in
Section 2.03) at such office or agency that the Holder elects to convert such
Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be
converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Securities surrendered for
conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record
Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such
Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of Securities or portions
thereof which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such
period) be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an
amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the
principal amount of Securities being surrendered for conversion. Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.07 relating to the payment of Defaulted Interest by the
Company, the interest payment with respect to a Security called for redemption
on a Redemption Date during the period from the close of business on any Regular
Record Date next preceding

                                       65

any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment
Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such
Security at the close of business on such Regular Record Date notwithstanding
the conversion of such Security after such Regular Record Date and prior to such
Interest Payment Date, and the Holder converting such Security need not include
a payment of such interest payment amount upon surrender of such Security for
conversion. Except as provided in the preceding sentence and subject to the
final paragraph of Section 3.07, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any
conversion on account of any interest accrued on the Securities surrendered for
conversion or on account of any dividends on the Common Shares issued upon
conversion.

          Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the
Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon conversion shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares at such
time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company
shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency a certificate or
certificates for the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion,
together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section
14.03.

          In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or
Securities of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to
the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security.

Section 14.03 Fractions of Shares.

          No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of
Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one
time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead
of any fractional Common Share which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion
of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall
pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same
fraction of the daily closing price per Common Share (consistent with Section
14.04(6) below) at the close of business on the day of conversion.

Section 14.04 Adjustment of Conversion Price.

          (1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other
     distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company in Common Shares,
     the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day
     following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to
     receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying
     such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
     number of Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date
     fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such
     number of shares and the

                                       66

     total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution,
     such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of
     business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For
     the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of Common Shares at any time
     outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company
     but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued
     in lieu of fractions of Common Shares. The Company will not pay any
     dividend or make any distribution on Common Shares held in the treasury of
     the Company.

          (2) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders
     of its Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common
     Shares at a price per share less than the current market price per Common
     Share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) on the date
     fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights
     or warrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the
     conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following
     the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by multiplying such
     conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number
     of Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for
     such determination plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate of
     the offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered for
     subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and
     the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding at the
     close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number
     of Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction to
     become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
     following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this
     paragraph (2), the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall
     not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include
     shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
     fractions of Common Shares. The Company will not issue any rights or
     warrants in respect of Common Shares held in the treasury of the Company.

          (3) In case outstanding Common Shares shall be subdivided into a
     greater number of Common Shares, the conversion price in effect at the
     opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
     subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and,
     conversely, in case outstanding Common Shares shall each be combined into a
     smaller number of Common Shares, the conversion price in effect at the
     opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
     combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such
     reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately
     after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
     subdivision or combination becomes effective.

          (4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to
     all holders of its Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets
     (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in
     paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash
     out of the earned surplus of the Company and any dividend or distribution
     referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section), the conversion price shall
     be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by
     multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close
     of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders
     entitled to receive such distribution

                                       67

     by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per
     Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) on
     the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as
     determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
     conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of
     the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed
     applicable to one Common Share and the denominator shall all be such
     current market price per Common Share, such adjustment to become effective
     immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date
     fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
     distribution.

          (5) The reclassification of Common Shares into securities other than
     Common Shares (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or
     merger to which Section 14.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a
     distribution of such securities other than Common Shares to all holders of
     Common Shares (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be
     deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled
     to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination"
     within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision
     or combination, as the case may be, of the number of Common Shares
     outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of
     Common Shares outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of
     such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such
     subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination
     becomes effective", as the case may be, such "the day upon which such
     subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of
     paragraph (3) of this Section).

          (6) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2) and (4) of
     this Section, the current market price per Common Share on any day shall be
     deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the five
     consecutive trading days (i.e., Business Days on which the Common Shares
     are traded) selected by the Board of Directors commencing not more than 20
     trading days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in
     question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or
     distribution requiring such computation. For this purpose, the term "'ex'
     date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, shall mean
     the first date on which the Common Shares trade regular way on the
     applicable exchange or in the applicable market without the right to
     receive such issuance or distribution. The closing price for each day shall
     be the reported last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported
     sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and
     asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or,
     if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on such
     Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
     Shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to
     trading on any national securities exchange, on the Nasdaq Stock Market or,
     if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national
     securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the average of
     the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as
     furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to
     time by the Board of Directors for that purpose.

                                       68

          (7) The Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in
     addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this
     Section, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any
     income tax to any holders of Common Shares resulting from any dividend or
     distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or
     subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax
     purposes or for any other reasons. The Company shall have the power to
     resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph (7) and its
     actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.

          (8) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless
     such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one
     percent in such conversion price; provided, however, that any adjustments
     which by reason of this paragraph (8) is not required to be made shall be
     carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All
     calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the
     nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be.

Section 14.05 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price.

          Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided:

          (a) the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in
accordance with Section 14.04 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the
Treasurer of the Company setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing
in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such
certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for the
purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.02; and

          (b) a notice stating that the conversion price has been adjusted and
setting forth the adjusted conversion price shall forthwith be required, and as
soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be mailed by the
Company to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the
Security Register.

Section 14.06 Notice of Certain Corporate Action.

          In case:

          (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
on its Common Shares payable otherwise than in cash out of its earned surplus;
or

          (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its
Common Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

          (c) of any reclassification of the Common Shares of the Company (other
than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Shares), or of any
consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for
which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

                                       69

          (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for
the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.02, and shall

clause (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if
a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are
to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up

reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice
nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings
described in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 14.06. If at the time the
Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also
forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

          Not less than seven days prior to any date fixed for the determination
of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Company shall cause
to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of
Securities pursuant to Section 10.02, and shall cause to be mailed to all
Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register, a
notice stating the date on which the such determination is to be made, and
briefly describing the import thereof. If at the time the Trustee shall not be
the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the
Company with the Trustee.

Section 14.07 Company to Reserve Common Shares.

          The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of Securities, the full number of Common Shares then issuable upon
the conversion of all Outstanding Securities which are convertible into Common
Shares.

Section 14.08 Taxes on Conversions.

          The Company will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect
of the issue or delivery of Common Shares on conversion of Securities pursuant
hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common
Shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to
be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the
Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax,
or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.

Section 14.09 Covenant as to Common Shares.

          The Company covenants that all Common Shares which may be issued upon
conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and,
except as provided in Section 14.08, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.

Section 14.10 Cancellation of Converted Securities.

          All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the
Trustee to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall
dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.09.

Section 14.11 Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.

          In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the
Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company
(other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
exchange or cancellation of outstanding Common Shares of the Company) or any
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which
acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each convertible
Security then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period
such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 14.01, to convert
such Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a
holder of the number of Common Shares of the Company into which such Security
might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale
or transfer, assuming such holder of Common Shares of the Company failed to
exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the
same for each Common Share of the Company in respect of which such rights of
election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then for the
purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each
non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture
shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date
of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as

                                       71

may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The above
provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, sales or transfers.

Section 14.12 Responsibility of Trustee.

          Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time be
under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine
whether any fact exists which may require any adjustment of the conversion
price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made,
or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental
indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor
any conversion agent shall be accountable with respect to the registration,
validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares, or of any
securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the
conversion of any Security; and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent
makes any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any
conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue or
transfer or deliver any Common Shares or share certificates or other securities
or property or to make any cash payment upon the surrender of any Security for
the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company
contained in this Article XIV.

                                   ARTICLE XV

                           SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

Section 15.01 Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.

          The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by
his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and
in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the indebtedness
represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness.

Section 15.02 Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

          In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding,
or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or
proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors,
as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding
up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or
any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any
such event the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive
payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all
Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or
money's worth, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any
payment on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the
Securities, and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled
to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution
of any kind or character, whether

                                       72

in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect
of the Securities in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or
other winding up or event.

          In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, before all Senior Indebtedness is paid
in full or payment thereof provided for, and if such fact shall, at or prior to
the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to the Trustee
or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment or
distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other
Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application
to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent
necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          For purposes of this Article only, the words "cash, property or
securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated
in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be
outstanding to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than,
the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The
consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another
Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance
or transfer of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another
Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article VII shall not be
deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for
the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company
for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or
into which the Company is merged or which acquires by conveyance or transfer
such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be,
shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply
with the conditions set forth in Article VIII.

Section 15.03 Prior Payment to Senior Indebtedness Upon Acceleration of
              Securities.

          In the event that any Securities are declared due and payable before
their Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of Senior Indebtedness
outstanding at the time such Securities so become due and payable shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in
respect of such Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment
in money or money's worth, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to
receive any payment by the Company on account of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other
acquisition of Securities; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with Article
XII by delivering and crediting pursuant to Section 12.02 Securities which have
been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to such default or which have
been converted pursuant to Article XIV.

          In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of

                                       73

this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment,
have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then
and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the
Company.

          The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with
respect to which Section 15.02 would be applicable.

Section 15.04 No Payment When Senior Indebtedness in Default.

          (a) In the event and during the continuation of any default in the
payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior
Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto, or in the
event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall
have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in such Senior
Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless and until such
event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist
and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, or (b) in the event
any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in
payment or event of default, then no payment shall be made by the Company on
account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or on
account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund
payment in accordance with Article XII by delivering and crediting pursuant to
Section 12.02 Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise)
prior to such default or which have been converted pursuant to Article XIV.

          In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the
time of such payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case may
be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and
delivered forthwith to the Company.

          The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with
respect to which Section 15.02 would be applicable.

Section 15.05 Payment Permitted If No Default.

          Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
any of the Securities shall prevent the Company, at any time except during the
pendency of any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up,
assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and
liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 15.02 or under the conditions
described in Section 15.03 or 15.04, from making payments at any time of
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities.

Section 15.06 Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders
of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of
all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to
indebtedness of the Company to

                                       74

substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled
to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and
securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For
purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of
the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee,
shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or
distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

Section 15.07 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

          The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the
one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing
contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the
rights under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, is intended to
rank equally with all other general obligations of the Company), to pay to the
Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance
with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the
Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities
otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

Section 15.08 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

          Each holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and
directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and
appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 15.09 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

          No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to
enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any
non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.

                                       75

          Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the
Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities
and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or
the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner,
place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter,
Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior
Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise
deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection
of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Company and any other Person.

Section 15.10 Notice to Trustee.

          The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and,
prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no
such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received
the notice provided for in this Section at least three Business Days prior to
the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any
purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Security), then, anything herein contained
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority
to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money
was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may
be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines
in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence
is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending
judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

                                       76

Section 15.11 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, and the
Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up
or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

Section 15.12 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it
shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities
or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which
any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article
or otherwise.

Section 15.13 Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness; Preservation
              of Trustee's Rights.

          The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which
may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of
its rights as such holder.

          Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07.

Section 15.14 Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

          In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have
been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee"
as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within
its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided,
however, that Section 15.13 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Section 15.15 Certain Conversions Deemed Payment.

          For the purposes of this Article only, (1) the issuance and delivery
of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article
XIV shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of
the principal of or premium or interest on

                                       77

Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and
(2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or securities (other
than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to
constitute payment on account of the principal of such Security. For the
purposes of this Section, the term "junior securities" means (a) shares of any
stock of any class of the Company and (b) securities of the Company which are
subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may be
outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities
are so subordinated as provided in this Article. Nothing contained in this
Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or
shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in
accordance with Article XIV.

Section 15.16 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.

          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments
from moneys or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under
Article XIII by the Trustee for the payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Securities from the date of deposit (if made in compliance
with this Indenture) shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any
Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restraints set forth in this Article, and
none of the Securityholders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to
the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any other
creditor of the Company.

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

                                       78

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to
be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

      FORM OF RECEIPTS, DEPOSIT OF STOCK, EXECUTION AND DELIVERY, TRANSFER,
                      SURRENDER AND REDEMPTION OF RECEIPTS

          SECTION 2.01. Form and Transfer of Receipts. Definitive Receipts shall
be engraved or printed or lithographed and shall be substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Deposit Agreement, with appropriate
insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. Pending the
preparation of definitive Receipts, the Depositary, upon the written order of
the Company delivered in compliance with Section 2.02, shall execute and deliver
temporary Receipts which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise substantially of the tenor of the definitive Receipts in lieu of which
they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as the persons executing such Receipts may determine, as
evidenced by their execution of such Receipts. If temporary Receipts are issued,
the Company and the Depositary will cause definitive Receipts to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Receipts, the
temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable for definitive Receipts upon surrender
of the temporary Receipts at an office described in the third paragraph of
Section 2.02, without charge to the holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depositary shall execute and deliver in
exchange therefor definitive Receipts representing the same number of Depositary
Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt or Receipts. Such
exchange shall be made at the Company's expense and without any charge therefor.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled to
the same benefits under this Deposit Agreement, and with respect to the Stock,
as definitive Receipts.

          Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual signature
of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary; provided, that such signature
may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary)
shall have been appointed and such

Receipts are countersigned by manual signature of a duly authorized officer of
the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit
Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been
executed manually by a duly authorized officer of the Depositary or, if a
Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been
appointed, by facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary
and countersigned manually by a duly authorized officer of such Registrar. The
Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as
hereinafter provided.

          Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof
such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Deposit Agreement as may be required by the Company or the Depositary or
required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with
the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Stock, the
Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be listed or to conform with any usage
with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to
which any particular Receipts are subject.

          Title to Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt which is properly
endorsed, or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, shall be
transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable
instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of a Depositary Share shall
be registered on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.04, the
Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the Record
Holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of
determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or other
distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for
all other purposes.

          SECTION 2.02. Deposit of Stock; Execution and Delivery of Receipts in
Respect Thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement,
the Company may from time to time deposit shares of Stock under this Deposit
Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for the
Stock to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the
Depositary, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form
satisfactory to the Depositary, together with all such certifications as may be
required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit
Agreement, and together with a written order of the Company directing the
Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person
or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the number of
Depositary Shares relating to such deposited Stock.

          Deposited Stock shall be held by the Depositary at the Depositary's
Office or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine.

          Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for
Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section, together with
the other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of the
Stock so deposited on the books of the Company in the name of the Depositary or
its nominee, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit
Agreement, shall execute and deliver, to or upon the order of the person or
persons named in the written order delivered to the Depositary referred to in
the first paragraph of this Section, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of
Depositary Shares relating to the Stock so deposited and registered in such name
or names as may be requested by such person or persons.

The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the
Depositary's Office or such other offices, if any, as the Depositary may
designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the
person requesting such delivery.

          Other than in the case of splits, combinations or other
reclassifications affecting the Stock, or in the case of dividends or other
distributions of Stock, if any, there shall be deposited hereunder not more than
____________________ shares of Stock.

          SECTION 2.03. Redemption of Stock. Whenever the Company shall elect to
redeem shares of Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate, it
shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give notice to
the Depositary of such proposed redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid
not less than 40 or more than 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of
Stock in accordance with the Certificate. On the date of such redemption,
provided that the Company shall then have paid in full to the Depositary the
redemption price of the Stock to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon, the Depositary shall redeem the Depositary Shares relating to
such Stock. The Depositary shall mail notice of such redemption and the proposed
simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares relating to the Stock
to be redeemed, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 and not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Stock and
Depositary Shares (the "Redemption Date"), to the Record Holders of the
Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the addresses of such holders as they
appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure to mail any such
notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice to one or more
such holders shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as
to other holders. Each such notice shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii)
the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed and, if less than all the
Depositary Shares held by any such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such
Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; (iii) the redemption
price; (iv) the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares are
to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends in
respect of the Stock underlying the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease
to accrue and accumulate at the close of business on such Redemption Date. In
case less than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the
Depositary Shares to be so redeemed shall be selected by lot, pro rata or such
other method as may be determined by the Depositary to be equitable.

          Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and
after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall have failed to redeem the
shares of Stock to be redeemed by it as set forth in the Company's notice
provided for in the preceding paragraph) all dividends in respect of the
Depositary Shares so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and accumulate,
the Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds shall be deemed no
longer to be outstanding, all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such
Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption price) shall, to
the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate and, upon surrender in
accordance with such notice of the Receipts evidencing any such Depositary
Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary shall so
require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed by the Depositary at a
redemption price per Depositary Share equal to the proportionate part of the
redemption price per share paid in respect of the shares of Stock plus all money
and other property, if any, paid with respect to such Depositary Shares,
including all amounts paid by the Company in respect of

dividends which on the Redemption Date have accumulated on the shares of Stock
to be so redeemed and have not theretofore been paid.

          If less than all the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are
called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of such Receipt
upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the redemption payment, a
new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and
not called for redemption.

          SECTION 2.04. Registration of Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall register on
its books from time to time transfers of Depositary Shares upon any surrender of
the Receipt or Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares by the holder in
person or by duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a
properly executed instrument of transfer. Thereupon the Depositary shall execute
a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary
Shares as those evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered and deliver
such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the person entitled
thereto.

          SECTION 2.05. Split-ups and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of
Depositary Shares and Withdrawal of Stock. Upon surrender of a Receipt or
Receipts at the Depositary's Office or at such other offices as it may designate
for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of such Receipt or
Receipts, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the
Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts in the
denominations requested, evidencing the aggregate number of Depositary Shares
evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered.

          Any holder of Depositary Shares may withdraw the number of whole
shares of Stock underlying such Depositary Shares and all money and other
property, if any, underlying such Depositary Shares by surrendering Receipts
evidencing such Depositary Shares at the Depositary's Office or at such other
offices as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. Thereafter,
without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, or to
the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the
number of whole shares of Stock and all money and other property, if any,
underlying the Depositary Shares so surrendered for withdrawal, but holders of
such whole shares of Stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Stock
hereunder or to receive Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares therefor. If a
Receipt delivered by a holder to the Depositary in connection with such
withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares relating to other than a
number of whole shares of Stock, the Depositary shall at the same time, in
addition to such number of whole shares of Stock and such money and other
property, if any, to be so withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or (subject to
Section 3.02) upon his order, a new Receipt evidencing such excess number of
Depositary Shares. Delivery of the Stock and money and other property being
withdrawn may be made by delivery of such certificates, documents of title and
other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate.

          If the Stock and the money and other property being withdrawn are to
be delivered to a person or persons other than the Record Holder of the
Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of
Stock, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order
so directing the Depositary, and the Depositary may

require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for withdrawal
of such shares of Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a
properly executed instrument of transfer.

          Delivery of the Stock and money and other property, if any, underlying
the Depositary Shares surrendered for withdrawal shall be made by the Depositary
at the Depositary's Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the
holder surrendering such Depositary Shares and for the account of such holder,
such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such
holder.

          SECTION 2.06. Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer,
Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution
and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or
exchange of any Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the
Company may require payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in
the event that the Depositary or the Company shall have made such payment, the
reimbursement to it) of any charges or expenses payable by the holder of a
Receipt pursuant to Section 5.07, may require the production of evidence
satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may
also require compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the
Company may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement.

          The delivery of Receipts against Stock may be suspended, the
registration of transfer of Depositary Shares may be refused and the
registration of transfer, surrender or exchange of outstanding Depositary Shares
may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of shareholders of the
Company is closed or (ii) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by
the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company at any time or
from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or
governmental body or commission or under any provision of this Deposit
Agreement.

          SECTION 2.07. Lost Receipts, etc. In case any Receipt shall be
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary in its discretion may
execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and
substitution for such mutilated Receipt, or in lieu of and in substitution for
such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon (i) the filing by the holder
thereof with the Depositary of evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such
destruction or loss or theft of such Receipt, or the authenticity thereof and of
his or her ownership thereof and (ii) the furnishing of the Depositary with
reasonable indemnification satisfactory to it.

          SECTION 2.08. Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts.
All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent shall be
canceled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or
regulation, the Depositary is authorized to destroy all Receipts so canceled.

                                   ARTICLE III

                       CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDERS
                           OF RECEIPTS AND THE COMPANY

          SECTION 3.01. Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. Any
holder of a Depositary Share may be required from time to time to file such
proof of residence, or other matters or other information, to execute such
certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depositary
or the Company may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the
Company may withhold the delivery, or delay the registration of transfer,
redemption or exchange, of any Depositary Share or the withdrawal of any Stock
underlying Depositary Shares or the distribution of any dividend or other
distribution or the sale of any rights or of the proceeds thereof until such
proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such
representations and warranties are made.

          SECTION 3.02. Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges. Holders
of Depositary Shares shall be obligated to make payments to the Depositary of
certain charges and expenses, as provided in Section 5.07. Registration of
transfer of any Depositary Share or any withdrawal of Stock and delivery of all
money or other property, if any, underlying such Depositary Share may be refused
until any such payment due is made, and any dividends or other distributions may
be withheld or all or any part of the Stock or other property relating to such
Depositary Shares and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the
holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such holder prior
to such sale) and such dividends or other distributions or the proceeds of any
such sale may be applied to any payment of such charges or expenses, the holder
of such Depositary Share remaining liable for any deficiency.

          SECTION 3.03. Warranty as to Stock. The Company hereby represents and
warrants that the Stock, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the
Stock and the issuance of the Receipts.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                        THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES; NOTICES

          SECTION 4.01. Cash Distributions. Whenever the Depositary shall
receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Stock, the
Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to the Record
Holders of Depositary Shares on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04
such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly as practicable,
in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares held by such
holders; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall be
required to withhold and shall withhold from any cash dividend or other cash
distribution in respect of the Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount
made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares
shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available
for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be
distributed without attributing to any holder of Depositary Shares a fraction of
one cent, and any balance not

so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest
thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received
by the Depositary for distribution to Record Holders of Depositary Shares then
outstanding.

          SECTION 4.02. Distributions Other than Cash. Whenever the Depositary
shall receive any distribution other than cash on the Stock, the Depositary
shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, distribute to the Record Holders of
Depositary Shares on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts
of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable,
in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares held by such
holders, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable
for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the Depositary such
distribution cannot be made proportionately among such Record Holders, or if for
any other reason (including any requirement that the Company or the Depositary
withhold an amount on account of taxes or governmental charges) the Depositary
deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be
feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, adopt such
method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such
distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities
or property thus received, or any part thereof, at such place or places and upon
such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall,
subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, be distributed or made available for
distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to the Record Holders of
Depositary Shares entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a
distribution received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of
such securities unless the Company shall have provided an opinion of counsel to
the effect that such securities have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933 or do not need to be registered.

          SECTION 4.03. Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If the
Company shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose
names Stock is recorded on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or
privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights,
preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or
privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to
the Record Holders of Depositary Shares in such manner as the Depositary may
determine, either by the issue to such Record Holders of warrants representing
such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be
approved by the Depositary in its discretion with the approval of the Company;
provided, however, that (i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights,
preferences or privileges the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or
(after consultation with the Company) not feasible to make such rights,
preferences or privileges available to holders of Depositary Shares by the issue
of warrants or otherwise, or (ii) if and to the extent so instructed by holders
of Depositary Shares who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or
privileges, then the Depositary, in its discretion (with the approval of the
Company, in any case where the Depositary has determined that it is not feasible
to make such rights, preferences or privileges available), may, if applicable
laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges permit such
transfer, sell such rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale,
at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net
proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.02, be
distributed by the Depositary to the Record Holders of Depositary Shares
entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution
received in cash. The Company shall not make any distribution of such rights,
preferences or privileges unless the Company shall have provided an opinion of
counsel to the

effect that such rights, preferences or privileges have been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 or do not need to be registered.

          If registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of the securities to
which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for
holders of Depositary Shares to be offered or sold the securities to which such
rights, preferences or privileges relate, the Company agrees with the Depositary
that it will file promptly a registration statement pursuant to such Act with
respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its
best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration
statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such
rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such
rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make
available to the holders of Depositary Shares any right, preference or privilege
to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such a
registration statement shall have become effective, or unless the offering and
sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the
provision of such Act.

          If any other action under the laws of any jurisdiction or any
governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in
order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to the
holders of Depositary Shares, the Company agrees with the Depositary that the
Company will use its best efforts to take such action or obtain such
authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of
such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such
rights, preferences or privileges.

          SECTION 4.04. Notice of Dividends, etc.; Fixing of Record Date for
Holders of Depositary Shares. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash
distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be
made, or if rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with
respect to the Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any
meeting at which holders of Stock are entitled to vote, or of which holders of
Stock are entitled to notice, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a
record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the
Company with respect to the Stock) for the determination of the holders of
Depositary Shares who shall be entitled to receive a distribution in respect of
such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net
proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give instructions for the exercise of voting
rights at any such meeting, or who shall be entitled to receive notice of such
meeting.

          SECTION 4.05. Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at
which the holders of the Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as
soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Record Holders of Depositary Shares
a notice which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice
of meeting and (ii) a statement informing holders of Depositary Shares that they
may instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining
to the amount of Stock underlying their respective Depositary Shares and a brief
statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the
written request of the holders of Depositary Shares on the record date
established in accordance with Section 4.04, the Depositary shall endeavor
insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the
instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of whole shares of
Stock underlying the Depositary Shares as to which any particular voting or
consent instructions are received. The Company hereby agrees to take all action
which may be deemed necessary by the

Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Stock or cause such
Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a
Depositary Share, the Depositary will abstain from voting (but, at its
discretion, not from appearing at any meeting with respect to such Stock unless
directed to the contrary by the holders of all the Depositary Shares) to the
extent of the Stock underlying the Depositary Shares.

          SECTION 4.06. Changes Affecting Deposited Securities and
Reclassifications Recapitalizations, etc. Upon any change in par or liquidation
value, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the Stock, or upon
any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation
affecting the Company or to which it is a party, the Depositary may in its
discretion, with the approval of, and shall upon the instructions of, the
Company, and (in either case) in such manner as the Depositary may deem
equitable, (i) make such adjustments in (a) the fraction of an interest in one
share of Stock underlying one Depositary Share and (b) the ratio of the
redemption price per Depositary Share to the redemption price of a share of the
Stock, in each case as may be necessary fully to reflect the effects of such
change in par or liquidation value, split-up, combination or other
reclassification of the Stock, or of such recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, amalgamation or consolidation and (ii) treat any securities which shall
be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in
respect of the Stock as new deposited securities so received in exchange for or
upon conversion of or in respect of such Stock. In any such case the Depositary
may in its discretion, with the approval of the Company, execute and deliver
additional Receipts, or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts
to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited
securities.

          SECTION 4.07. Delivery of Reports. The Depositary will forward to
Record Holders of Receipts, at their respective addresses appearing in the
Depositary's books, all notices, reports and communications received from the
Company which are delivered to the Depositary and which the Company is required
to furnish to the holders of Stock or Receipts.

          SECTION 4.08. List of Holders. Promptly upon request from time to time
by the Company, the Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of a recent date,
of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all persons in
whose names Depositary Shares are registered on the books of the Depositary or
Registrar, as the case may be.

                                    ARTICLE V

                    THE DEPOSITARY, THE DEPOSITARY'S AGENTS,
                          THE REGISTRAR AND THE COMPANY

          SECTION 5.01. Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books by
the Depositary; Registrar. Upon execution of this Deposit Agreement, the
Depositary shall maintain at the Depositary's Offices, or at any Registrar's
Office, at which the Depositary shall have complete access to all books and
records maintained on the Company's behalf, facilities for the execution and
delivery, surrender and exchange of Receipts and the registration and
registration of transfer of Depositary Shares, and at the offices of the
Depositary's Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, surrender and exchange
of Receipts and the registration of transfer of Depositary Shares, all in
accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement.

          The Depositary shall keep books at the Depositary's Office for the
registration and registration of transfer of Depositary Shares, which books at
all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Record Holders of
Depositary Shares; provided, that any such holder requesting to exercise such
right shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper
purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as an owner of Depositary
Shares.

          The Depositary may close such books, at any time or from time to time,
when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties
hereunder.

          If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the
Stock underlying such Depositary Shares shall be listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, appoint a
Registrar for registration of such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance
with any requirements of such Exchange. Such Registrar (which may be the
Depositary if so permitted by the requirements of such Exchange) may be removed
and a substitute registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the request or with
the approval of the Company. If the Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such
Stock are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Depositary will, at
the request of the Company, arrange such facilities for the delivery,
registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of such Receipts,
such Depositary Shares or such Stock as may be required by law or applicable
stock exchange regulation.

          SECTION 5.02. Prevention of or Delay in Performance by the Depositary,
the Depositary's Agents, any Registrar or the Company. Neither the Depositary
nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar nor the Company shall incur any
liability to any holder or any Depositary Share if by reason of any provision of
any present or future law, or regulation thereunder, of the United States of
America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case of the
Depositary, any Depositary's Agent or any Registrar, by reason of any provision,
present or future, of the organizational documents of the Company (including the
Certificate) or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond
the control of the relevant party, the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any
Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or
performing any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide
shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent,
any Registrar or the Company incur any liability to any holder of a Depositary
Share (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the
performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement
provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of,
or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement
except, in case of any such exercise or failure to exercise discretion not
caused as aforesaid, if caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the party charged with such exercise or failure to exercise.

          SECTION 5.03. Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents,
any Registrar and the Company. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent
nor any Registrar nor the Company assumes any obligation or shall be subject to
any liability under this Deposit Agreement to holders of Depositary Shares other
than for its negligence or willful misconduct.

          Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar
nor the

Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Stock, the Depositary Shares
or the Receipts which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability
unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability be
furnished as often as may be required.

          Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor any Registrar
nor the Company shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in
reliance upon the written advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information
from any person presenting Stock for deposit, any holder of a Depositary Share
or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such
information. The Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, any Registrar and the
Company may each rely and shall each be protected in acting upon any written
notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

          The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out
any instruction to vote any of the shares of Stock or for the manner or effect
of any such vote, as long as any such action or non-action is in good faith. The
Depositary undertakes, and any Registrar shall be required to undertake, to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Deposit Agreement against the Depositary or any Registrar. The Depositary
will indemnify the Company against any liability which may arise out of acts
performed or omitted by the Depositary or its agents due to its or their
negligence or bad faith. The Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, any Registrar
and the Company may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and
its affiliates and in Depositary Shares. The Depositary may also act as transfer
agent or registrar of any of the securities of the Company and its affiliates.

          SECTION 5.04. Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment
of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary
hereunder by notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such
resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depositary and
its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided.

          The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by notice of
such removal delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect upon the
appointment of a successor Depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as
hereinafter provided.

          In case the Depositary acting hereunder shall at any time resign or be
removed, the Company shall, within 60 days after the delivery of the notice of
resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor Depositary,
which shall be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United
States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000. If no successor Depositary shall have been so appointed within 60
days after delivery of such notice, the resigning or removed Depositary may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Depositary. Every successor Depositary shall execute and deliver to its
predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its
appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Depositary, without any
further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the
Depositary under this Deposit

Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the
written request of the Company, shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor
hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest
in the Stock and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor and
shall deliver to such successor a list of the Record Holders of all outstanding
Depositary Shares. Any successor Depositary shall promptly mail notice of its
appointment to the Record Holders of Depositary Shares.

          Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged,
consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such Depositary without the
execution or filing of any document or any further act. Such successor
Depositary may authenticate the Receipts in the name of the predecessor
Depositary or in the name of the successor Depositary.

          SECTION 5.05. Corporate Notices and Reports. The Company agrees that
it will transmit to the Depositary all notices, reports and communications
(including, without limitation, financial statements) required by law, the rules
of any national securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares
or the Receipts are listed or by the organizational documents of the Company
(including the Certificate) to be furnished by the Company to holders of the
Stock.

          SECTION 5.06. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall
indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent and any Registrar against, and
hold each of them harmless from, any loss, liability or expense (including the
costs and expenses of defending itself) which may arise out of (i) acts
performed or omitted in connection with this Deposit Agreement and the
Depositary Shares (a) by the Depositary, any Registrar or any of their
respective agents (including any Depositary's Agent), except for any liability
arising out of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the respective
parts of any such person or persons, or (b) by the Company or any of its agents,
or (ii) the offer, sale or registration of the Depositary Shares or the Stock
pursuant to the provisions hereof. The obligations of the Company set forth in
this Section 5.06 shall survive any succession of any Depositary, Registrar or
Depositary's Agent.

          SECTION 5.07. Charges and Expenses. The Company shall pay all transfer
and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of
the depositary arrangements. The Company shall pay all charges of the Depositary
in connection with the initial deposit of the Stock and the initial issuance of
the Receipts, any redemption of the Stock at the option of the Company and any
withdrawals of Stock by holders of Depositary Shares. All other transfer and
other taxes and governmental charges shall be at the expense of holders of
Depositary Shares. If, at the request of a holder of a Depositary Share, the
Depositary incurs charges or expenses for which it is not otherwise liable
hereunder, such holder will be liable for such charges and expenses. All other
charges and expenses of the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent hereunder and any
Registrar (including, in each case, fees and expenses of counsel) incident to
the performance of their respective obligations hereunder will be paid upon
consultation and agreement between the Depositary and the Company as to the
amount and nature of such charges and expenses. The Depositary shall present its
statement for charges and expenses to the Company once every three months or at
such other intervals as the Company and the Depositary may agree.

agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect which they may
deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no such amendment which
shall materially and adversely alter the rights of the existing holders of
Depositary Shares shall be effective unless such amendment shall have been
approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Depositary Shares then
outstanding. Every holder of an outstanding Depositary Share at the time any
such amendment becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such
Depositary Share, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by this
Deposit Agreement as amended thereby.

property, if any, to which holders of the related Receipts are entitled under
the terms of such Receipts or this Deposit Agreement, have been paid or
distributed as provided in this Deposit Agreement or provision therefor has been
duly made pursuant to Section 2.03 or (ii) there shall have been made a final
distribution in respect of the Stock in connection with any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company and such distribution shall have been
distributed to the holders of Receipts pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02, as
applicable.

          Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be
discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its
obligations to the Depositary, any Depositary's Agents and any Registrar under
Sections 5.06 and 5.07.
